Our young people are tired of being unheard and underserved. It’s our responsibility to stand in the gap to help them stay the course for justice and equality!

Despite what Fox News wants you to believe, being afraid of an unarmed person is not a reason to kill them.
We should never accept a society where such rationale becomes normal.
Especially when powerful incentives exist in politics + media to keep people afraid of each other.
There is no way I would have stood, sat or recorded another person being MURDERED by a lowlife vigilante! And the police are wrong for not arresting him and the other two men. Justice for Jordan Neely!

Emmett Till would've, should have, turned 81 this year.
To put that into perspective-
Joe Biden is 79.
Bernie Sanders is 81.
Morgan Freeman is 85.
This wasn't in some distant past, and the fight is nowhere near over.

Trump lawyers signed off that no more classified documents were at Mar-a-Lago in June. Then the FBI found more.
Yikes.
They’re screwed.

No more thoughts and prayers that aren’t coupled with action from elected officials.

Companies are critical in the fight to end gun violence—and right now Facebook (@meta) is failing. Even though Facebook says it prohibits unlicensed gun sales, they let gun buyers and sellers violate that rule 10 TIMES before they are kicked off its platforms. #NoSecondChances
