This is America. Always has been. The American mythology has always been a contradiction. Violence, murder, oppression, piracy, racism, greed, and theft; with aspirations of equality, justice, fairness, prosperity and meritocracy. This is America. Which values do you choose?
On this day in 1966, Ku Klux Klan members shot at and set fire to the home of activist Vernon Dahmer in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, killing Mr. Dahmer and razing his home.

The Canadian doctor who was suspended from U of O for being pro Palestine went to Gaza 💜

You don’t have the right to “feel safe,” you have the right to be safe, there’s a difference
If protest against genocide makes you “feel unsafe,” that’s on you. No one is physically attacking you or inciting against you
Palestinians don’t feel unsafe, they feel actual genocide

Just a reminder that you all have now witnessed murder through your phone screen everyday for the past 2 months now.
You’re watching the genocide of an entire population.
That's not normal. Don't be desensitized.
Keep talking about Palestine. Push for a permanent ceasefire.

Israel has killed more than 20,000 Palestinians in Gaza.
According to its own estimates, 1,000-2,000 have been Hamas fighters.
So 90-95% of those Israel has killed are innocent civilians.
The US and Europe have called this "self-defense."

the man in this photo, A’ed Abo Amro, was sniped by the IDF only a month after this photo went viral because he became a symbol of the resistance. never forget that ahed tamimi, plestia and every palestinian standing up publicly against israel are true heroes at risk

The most important part of today's SCOTUS decision, which kills affirmative action in education without actually saying it does, is Justice Jackson's dissent, which is a barn burner from its opening sentences & well worth reading.

Specialists think the opportunity to play with peers undirected by an adult — the kind of play children get at recess — is so critical to development that children should not do without it during the school day. trib.al/HQMmgoH

Did you know? When Bill Clinton banned assault weapons in 1994, mass shootings dropped by 43%. After George W. Bush and the GOP let the assault weapons ban expire in 2004, mass shootings increased by 245%. — These numbers tell a story.

I’m going to start calling white people “European Americans” in America. In the USA they call Black people “African Americans”, Native people are called “Native Americans”, Asians are called “Asian American”, and so on. Meanwhile white people are just called Americans. 🙄

I have never come back from any holiday feeling relaxed, refreshed & reinvigorated to get back into work.
I come back with the taste of freedom, still fresh in my mouth, a renewed hatred for work, and a strong suspicion that this is not what I should be spending my life doing.

This is the mascot of the Halifax Oyster Festival and I’m absolutely enthralled by it

This article is a great example on how the @nytimes coverage of Indigenous issues doesn’t meet the basic standards of journalism. This article grossly misrepresents what happened in the underlying custody cases and the people behind the lawsuit.
In a case that could affect thousands of Native American children, the Supreme Court will begin hearing arguments Wednesday in the case of a four-year-old girl, whose birth mother is Navajo but who is living with a white family who wants to adopt her. nyti.ms/3WKaB3B
