This type of harassment never gets reported, but it’s shameful and disgusting. People in our country have a right to wear whatever scarfs they want to wear and people following them and making them uncomfortable is just wrong and discriminatory. Palestinians exist and need us to fight for their liberation.

This was the largest Jewish protest in solidarity with Palestinians ever.

I am deeply inspired by the mass movement of peace loving people—led by Jewish and Muslim Americans—joining in nonviolent protest to demand peace and a #ceasefire.

A reminder to never mess around with Black women protecting our democracy. Today, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss won their defamation case against Rudy Giuliani & it is absolutely glorious. They are our heroes. They are the best of our democracy. Thank you, Ruby & Shaye.

Today, Fred Hampton should be celebrating his 75th birthday.
Instead, he was assassinated by the federal government.
He should still be here, leading the movement for Black liberation.
We remember his life and his legacy.

Trans rights are human rights. No one should have to jump through hoops and travel for hours just to get the health care they need. It’s time for Republicans to let kids be kids and let them live.

Breaking: Trump was just indicted on his most serious charges to date, those concerning Jan 6.
This will put our democracy to a new test:
Can the rule of law be enforced against a former president and current candidate?
For the sake of our democracy, that answer must be yes.

I was joined by Reverend Wheeler Parker, Jr. – he was only 16 when his cousin Emmett Till was lynched.
Years later, he’s continued Mamie Till-Mobley's courage to find purpose in pain. It’s nothing short of remarkable.
It was an honor to see him and the Till family again.

Exactly. The misconception that affirmative action meant unqualified people have been admitted into college solely because of their race was never true and is quite frankly an ignorant interpretation. Thank you @joyannreid for setting the record straight and sharing your truth!

A 12-week abortion ban in NC is not about life. If extremists who claim to be Republicans were serious about life, they would pass healthcare, living wages, family leave and fully-funded public education. Please, just stop lying.

People w/ mental health conditions make up 53% of the population at Rikers.
On average, they are held 61% longer.
We pay $556,000 per person annually to keep them in jail. 90% on Rikers are held without conviction.
By contrast, it costs ~$42k to put them in supportive housing.

The thing where the media reports the criminal record of Black victims is continued mark on our profession.

I will never forget hiding in my high schools storage closet fearing for my life. Ted Cruz has done NOTHING to protect the lives of young texans.
Who’s fired up and ready to elect Colin Allred in November 2024??🔥🔥
I’m running for U.S. Senate because Texans deserve a Senator whose team is Texas. Ted Cruz only cares about himself.

Another day, another revelation about a Supreme Court Justice’s undisclosed conflict of interest.
Today, we learned that Justice Thomas’ nephew’s tuition was paid by a conservative billionaire.
Loss of rights. A reactionary agenda. Hidden sources of income. We need a code of ethics. Now.

And Jesus asked: A man was being strangled on the subway. One person passed by and did nothing. Another filmed the killing. A third bent down to help the murderer.

Work requirements for food/other types of assistance actually condemn a system of capitalism where one can work and still not be able to feed and house your family, and are a huge bailout for corps that rely on government to make up for their poverty wages.foxbusiness.com/markets/walm…

Thirty years ago, on this day, legendary visionary and labor organizer Cesar Chavez passed away at the age of 66. To this day, Chavez is stirring knowledge, pride, and fearlessness in our multiracial struggle for a just world.

"The South shows us what violence, gerrymandering, blasphemy and 'procedural theft' look like. But it’s also reminding us once again the possibilities of nonviolent direct action: that local people have the power to awaken the conscience of the nation."
