Sharing again that my father was NOT advocating for a #colorblind society. Please stop taking one line from one speech (in which he also talked about #policebrutality & #reparations) to make it seem as though his dream was void of work, like teaching history & eradicating racism.
.@JoeRogan discusses a California school indoctrinating his 5-year-old daughter into a "woke, guilt-ridden ideology" centered around becoming an antiracist activist.
"They hired some person to teach them that they have to be antiracist and it's not good enough not to be racist. What? My kids aren't racist at all. Why are you putting that into their head? That they have to be antiracist and call out racism.
They were trying to make them be activists. Hey, they're five. They want friends. They don't care what their friends look like. They are trying to have a good time. They're five. They're just playing.
You're indoctrinating them into this woke, guilt-ridden ideology that you are carrying around with you, and you feel like you have an obligation to impose this on children. Our goal should have always been the goals the liberals had in the 60s and 70s, which is a color-blind society.
The Martin Luther King notion that we should treat people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin... None of the real problems get addressed, and instead, they just try to make kids feel guilty. I didn't like the woke s**t. I didn't like that they were asking kids their pronouns."

Why are schools brainwashing young children into becoming antiracist activists who perceive the world predominantly through the prism of skin color?
How can we inspire Americans to re-embrace Martin Luther King Jr.'s vision of a color-blind society, where the focus lies on the content of one's character rather than the color of one's skin?

The constant stream of violence, the inventive and grotesque cruelty Israel commits, but everyone is “shocked” today. And they say “we are at war” with no irony of them being the aggressive and oppressive engineers of that war. Hm. Free Palestine.

If our democracy is going to survive, we have to become better people. The hatred, the selfishness and greed, the vitriol threaten to overrun and overwhelm any sense of virtue and decency. My goodness.

I’m one of the lucky ones. I’m aware that my career provides me with a good living, gives me health insurance, helps me take care of my family. There are many members of SAG/AFTRA who are fighting to make a living wage. 87% of my union doesn’t make the 26k a year in order to receive health insurance. It is our responsibility to stand alongside them. We are united and we demand fair contracts. #sagaftrastrong

“Unskilled labor” is a myth the ruling class made up to justify poverty wages.
All labor is skilled labor.
Every job deserves a living wage.

Atlanta City Council member Matt Westmoreland (Post 2 At Large) said “no” when asked to condemn the police killing of Manuel ‘Tortuguita’ Terán - while holding the hand of Tortuguita’s mother Belkis Terán.
He also claimed his friendship with an Atlanta Police Foundation lobbyist didn’t influence his votes in favor of ‘Cop City.’

These are my teammates. We are Olympic champions. Three of us tried to give birth. Two of us experienced near-death complications. One of us died. We have to, and we will do more. Tori’s death cannot and will not be in vain.

Progressives wanted all student debt cancelled, the NAACP called for $50k to be cancelled, the Biden administration went with $10k.
Neoliberals said “don’t let the perfect get in the way of the good!”
Now, as the cancelation could be struck down completely, neoliberals are saying “just pay back your loans!”
This is why compromising neoliberals is not the answer—they never wanted to compromise, they wanted to shut progressives up.

In the most recent blueprints contracted from the firm LS3P, the APF asked to reduce allocations for firemen by $1M in order to meet budget shortfalls. They are hiding behind firemen and other first responders to obscure the primary purpose of Cop City: urban warfare.

BREAKING: a source close to the situation has told us that the APF and Mayor's office are paying nearly 50 staffers and/or firemen to come to the City Hall tomorrow morning to speak in favor of Cop City. For this reason, we are advising community members to come earlier in the AM

Today we mourn the loss of #HarryBelafonte. A eulogy on his life can begin and end with his words, with these ten exemplary words: “The pursuit of justice is all I have ever known.”

Not groups of people, not that person you don’t know. Not that person ringing your doorbell or coming onto your driveway. Not that person who looks differently, loves differently, worships differently, or thinks differently than you. 9/
