Few things bum me out like hearing someone say "My name is actually pronounced [X], but most people just call me [x]."
No. Fuck that. Names have power. Every cultural mythology knows this. If your name is [X], then anyone who respects your power should damn well call you [X].

If you are okay with having Muslim, Jewish and Hindu students sit through a Christian prayer in public school, and not okay with having Christian students sit through a Muslim, Jewish or Hindu prayer, then it’s NOT religious freedom- it’s religious oppression.

I’m thinking about how a mom ran in and got her own kid, even after being handcuffed. I’m thinking about how the subway shooter was found by ordinary people. I’m thinking about how every dollar we give cops takes money from communities and gives it to guys who don’t protect us.

History made.
Glass shattered.
Representation, finally.
Congratulations, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson!

Your annual reminder that Dr. King believed in guaranteed universal basic income that gave all people a dignified life, guaranteed housing for all, guaranteed access to a high quality education, & said that “no one should be forced to live in poverty while others live in luxury.”

Would you help me tweet this around the world?
Kindness matters
But kindness does not = justice
Civility counts
But civility is not the humane response to injustice
Justice is
Love is essential
But love is not a passive, weeping bystander
Love puts in work.

We can't just wait around for Trump's conservative justice to take away our right to make our own decisions about our own bodies.
No. We can act NOW and we must.
End the filibuster, pass the Women's Health Protection Act, and reaffirm that reproductive rights are human rights.

Hi! I’m a 19-year-old college student and founder of @TheBLKSociety that will work engage and prepare the next generation of black Pro-Democracy voters! I haven’t been active on Twitter and am trying to break 3,000 followers do you think you can help me?

TFW you wake up to the chance to make the case for 7 more weeks that housing is a human right, all kids deserve educational equity, #Boston must be a city for working people, we can address climate change boldly, & that representation matters. david4boston.com/volunteer #bospoli

The Supreme Court gutted preclearance because they said there was no proof those places were still racist.
And then all those places started being racist

Q: Wow, that's a lot of days!
A: yes, it stresses us out, too!

To say that black people are lying in a widespread way about racial injustice is itself a kind of racism because it assumes they cannot be trusted to be accurate translators of their own experience.

There is no form of protest against racism that will be acceptable to racists.
There is no method for teaching the past and present harm of racism and white supremacy that will be palatable to people who are comfortable with where we are and with being benefactors of oppression.

I just keep thinking about how it took ALL of this to have one trial for one cop

Derek Chauvin was a sacrifice to maintain the illusion that it’s an individual, not the system that’s at fault.
Make no mistake, the system is at fault.

Thank you to every single organizer, protester, activist and good troublemaker who took to the streets this summer to remind America that the pandemic of racist state violence is deadly. This wasn’t “the system” working. It was y’all working. We are in your debt.
