URGENT: Texas plans to execute #JamesBroadnax on April 30. The actual shooter received LWOP, while James was sentenced to death. James should not be executed for a crime he did not commit. Sign the petition today: actionnetwork.org/petitions/texa…

“When you’re k!II!ng Zimbabweans, Mozambicans, Nigerians, Somalians here in South Africa and calling them all sorts of names, today you’re holding a placard and saying Black Lives Matter when you support the k!II!ng of your own fellow black brothers & sisters in South Africa. We must not say South Africa first, we must say black first” - Julius Malema

@got_cake Heroes.

For 60 years, the island of Vieques lived under the sound of explosions. The U.S. Navy used it as a bombing range and training ground, dropping live ordnance just miles from where Puerto Rican families lived, worked, and raised their children. The sky shook. The ground trembled. And the people endured. The cost was devastating. Cancer rates soared. The soil and water were contaminated with heavy metals and toxic chemicals. Fishermen found their catch dwindling. Children grew up with the sound of war as their lullaby. For decades, the people of Vieques were told it was necessary — that their suffering was the price of “security.” But they never accepted that. They organized. They protested. They occupied the bombing range, camping on the beaches where bombs once fell. Priests, students, elders, and activists stood side by side, refusing to move. The movement spread across Puerto Rico and the diaspora. The world began to watch. And in 2003, they won. After years of relentless protest, the U.S. Navy withdrew from Vieques. The bombing stopped. The people reclaimed their island. It was one of the most powerful acts of collective resistance in Puerto Rican history — proof that even against the strongest forces, unity can prevail. But the scars remain. The land is still contaminated. The health crisis continues. The fight for cleanup and justice goes on. Vieques is more than a tragedy — it’s a testament. A testament to the strength of a people who refused to be silenced. Who stood up to power and reclaimed their home. Who showed the world what resistance looks like. This is Puerto Rico. This is Vieques. This is what resistance looks like. ✊🏾🇵🇷

@got_cake My condolences to her family 🙏

A woman who went viral for spending less than $47 on her wedding dress has died during childbirth at 32 years old. Kiara Brokenbrough died on March 30 as her son, Jonah, was born. Jonah remains in the NICU and is showing improvement. The Brokenbroughs gained attention in 2022 after celebrating their nuptials with a $500 wedding in Los Angeles. They kept costs low by hosting fewer than 30 people at their roadside ceremony and having guests go Dutch at the reception. Kiara told the Los Angeles Times they didn't want to go into debt over a wedding. The couple was moving from West Virginia back to California when Kiara unexpectedly died. Kiara's death came just weeks before the 10th annual Black Maternal Health Week. Black women are three to four times more likely to die during childbirth than any other demographic.

I remember #JackJones and #MarcelWilliams executed by the state of Arkansas on April 24, 2017. It was the first double execution on the same day in the US since 2000. Those men were murdered on the same gurney, hours apart, one at 7pm, the other at 10pm. #EndTheDeathPenalty

@KarineOmry @Attika_t @jettica65 @cnocbeag @Jews4Abolition @MumDoctors @512Oz @esischwiesisch @OpposeDP @claudia_tramer @allegramariaD RIP 🕯️

I remember #MoisesMendoza executed by the state of Texas on April 23, 2025. TX sentenced him to death based on "future dangerousness," a flawed and racist concept. He was not a threat behind bars. His death sentence should have been commuted to life in prison. #EndTheDeathPenalty

@johncusack Horrific 😔

War crime

@zoomafrika1 🙌✊

In only 4 years in power (1983-87), Thomas Sankara Built 350 schools, roads, railways without foreign aid Increased literacy rate by 60% Banned forced marriages Gave poor people land Vaccinated 2.5 million kids Planted 10 million trees Appointed females to high governmental positions, encouraged them to work, recruited them into the military, and granted pregnancy leave during sold off the government fleet of Mercedes cars and made the Renault 5 (the cheapest car sold in Burkina Faso at that time) the official service car of the ministers. He reduced the salaries of all public servants, including his own, and forbade the use of government chauffeurs and 1st class airline tickets. As President, he lowered his salary to $450 a month and limited his possessions to a car, four bikes, three guitars, a fridge and a broken freezer. He opposed foreign aid, saying that “he who feeds you, controls you.” Drove out French imperialism & withdrew Burkina Faso from IMF A very productive life that was brutally cut short 💔. He was assassinated at the age of 38. Rest on son of the soil 🕊

@ctreid89 RIP 🕯️🕊️

Rent controls and council housing. That’s how you fix the housing crisis.

I remember #AndreCole executed by the state of Missouri on April 14, 2015. He was executed despite serious concerns about his mental health, potential racial bias by the jury and the fact that the victim’s family opposed the execution. #EndTheDeathPenalty

@lemnsissay You look awesome 👍.

I haven't the need nor will to be this age again. But it is fun to glimpse myself in passing.

I just signed a petition urging Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles and Governor Abbott to stop the execution of James Broadnax, who didn't kill anyone. If you believe this execution should not move forward, add your name: actionnetwork.org/petitions/texa…
