If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country.
We will hold this administration accountable.

If you want to understand exactly how damaging this proposed legislation and policies are - take a read through all of these responses. This hate is exactly why we need to protect trans 🏳️⚧️ and gender diverse folkx, especially children and youth. Allies, we need you now ❤️

To preserve slavery, enslavers claimed slavery was “positively good” and that abolitionists were making up the terror and exploitation of slavery. To preserve Jim Crow, segregationists claimed public accommodations and institutions were “separate but equal” and that civil rights activists were making up all the racial inequity and injustice. To preserve racism today, the ideological descendants of enslavers and segregationists are claiming that the U.S. is a “colorblind” society and antiracist intellectuals and activists are making up all the racial inequity and injustice. As they strive to preserve racism, we must strive to recognize and combat these repackaged ideas by deepening our understanding of history. Making this #BlackHistoryMonth all the more critical. 👊🏿

It’s an interesting take for medicine to take such a harsh stance on this, when Indigenous MDs, residents and patients literally get physically assaulted (my braid was pulled on Day 1 of residency by an RN), verbally assaulted (called dirty savages) /1 ctvnews.ca/canada/ontario-do…

Japanese Canadians were forcibly uprooted, incarcerated, dispossessed & exiled starting in 1942. Released in 1949, four years after the Second World War ended. Also, without charge or trial.

The Director of the UN's New York office just resigned after thirty years at the organisation over the UN's handling of the ongoing genocide of Palestinians.
The entirety of his resignation letter is a necessary read but this first page blew me away.

The oppressed are expected to resist the violence of our oppressors with flowers and to contest their tyranny with beautiful words. So when their hatred buries us there are no more flowers to lay on our graves and no more beautiful words left to eulogize us or remember our names.
