The Supreme Court has voted to strike down Roe v. Wade, according to an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito and obtained by POLITICO. “We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” Alito writes. politico.com/news/2022/05/0…

@carterbrz2 😘

For an additional cost, I’ll read it to you aloud before bedtime 😘

379 missing persons in Colombia today after one week of protests. I’ll repeat: 379!

We just paused an entire vaccine rollout because of a complication with a risk of 1 in 1 million. For Black men, the lifetime risk of being killed by police is 1 in 1000. Where is our pause? pnas.org/content/116/34…

There are no accidents in police terror and white supremacy. Say his name. #DaunteWright

TW: police brutality I’m so exhausted of the expectation that life continues as normal after the killing of another Black person by cops until more white people become offended by it.

ENRAGING: Queens cop kneels on a man’s neck. Couldve killed him like George Floyd. Caught on camera. Man charged w/ a crime. But DA Melinda Katz declines to charge cop. “Insufficient evidence.” Get this: Her office didn’t even interview the man assaulted. queenseagle.com/all/queens-da-…

We are NOT “angry Black men”! Donald Williams’ feelings are VALID & he had the the right to express the pain he felt while viewing the unjust terror George Floyd experienced under the knee of Derek Chauvin!

Academia is just MLM

Last primary in Georgia was 6/9/20. Lines were hours long & outside in many places. If it were an average June day, it would’ve been 87.8 degrees, feeling like 99.7. If that were June of this year, it would now be illegal to give someone a bottle of water as they waited to vote.

Imagine making it a crime to offer water to people waiting in line to vote.

#SB202 suppresses voters, criminalizes compassion & seizes election authority from local + state officials. In 11 years, I never witnessed a massive bill approved at such speed and signed in such desperation. This wasn’t efficiency or principle. This is cowardice. #gapol 1/2

Elders keep us safe

I think it’s violent to treat someone’s identity as a debate topic. Trans people aren’t up for debate.
