What are y'all wearing to Twitter's homegoing service?

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just overturned Roe v. Wade, ending our constitutional right to abortion. We know you may be feeling a lot of things right now — hurt, anger, confusion. Whatever you feel is OK. We’re here with you — and we’ll never stop fighting for you.

52 U.S. Senators blocked voting rights legislation. Some of them tweeted on #MLKDay, while resolutely opposing legislation to prevent states from suppressing the votes of Black, Brown & rural communities. These Senators invoke a martyr, while castigating his legacy & teachings.

There is a rumor circulating that all #EBT benefits balances must be used by 12/31/21. THIS IS NOT TRUE! Your benefits balance rolls over. There's no need to panic or to use all the benefits if you don't want to. If you have questions about your CalFresh benefits: (415) 558-4700.

We need food folks everywhere, esp in govt & public service! Thx @Eater for the profile - hope it inspires others to follow their hearts to serve others in (& take care themselves) in more ways than one.

Quick reminder: Kindness and justice are not synonymous. Be kind. And advocate and work for justice. Lives depend on it.

As the @megablacksf #Juneteenth on the Waterfront event wraps up, I managed to get a photo with my friend & organizer @ShakSimley who was the one that invited me in the first place! She’s one in a million and this city is an infinitely better place because she’s in it 😍😍😍

@Bobakkabob37 @megablacksf You are so kind! Thank you so much for coming out and supporting today.

Good morning San Francisco! 🌫🌫🌫

“I am a survivor of the Tulsa race massacre. Two weeks ago, I celebrated my 107th birthday. Today, I’m visiting Washington, DC for the first time in my life. I’m here seeking justice, and I'm asking my country to acknowledge what happened in Tulsa in 1921.” –Viola Fletcher
