BREAKING: With no emergency action from SCOTUS to block the law yet, Texas’s radical 6 week abortion ban is now in effect. Know this: No matter what, we aren’t backing down and we are still fighting. Everyone deserves access to abortion. #BansOffOurBodies #SB8 #TXDeservesBetter

Stop attacking @IlhanMN. Stop attacking us. I'm not surprised when Republicans attack Black women for standing up for human rights. But when it’s Democrats, it’s especially hurtful. We’re your colleagues. Talk to us directly. Enough with the anti-Blackness and Islamophobia.

“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free” The right to seek asylum is not just legally protected. It is a foundational universal human right. We should not abandon our values and rights to far right white nationalists.

"The struggle for freedom is all about imagination. It’s all about how big we can make ourselves. How wide we can expand. How creatively we can think about the future we deserve." - Tributee Brittany Packnett Cunningham (@mspackyetti) for the #ApolloSpringBenefit

As @Simone_Biles said at the 2016 Olympics: "I'm not the next Usain Bolt or Michael Phelps. I'm the first Simone Biles."

Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk are out here spending billions, and yet, the only one successfully defying gravity is Simone Biles.

When we say defund, we’re talking about needing to divest from the parts of our society that are harming and killing us—and invest in the parts that help keep us healthy and alive. We deserve life.

Mental healthcare is healthcare. It should be guaranteed as a right along with dental and vision. If you get a bad cut, you go to the doctor to heal it faster and healthier. Same goes here. If I could prescribe it to other members, I would 😉

Simone Biles is being punished for excelling at her sport.

Prosecution: you were told George Floyd died because his heart was too big. The reason he died is because Chauvin’s heart was too small. #ChauvinTrial

A congressional committee just advanced legislation that would make DC the 51st state. That means the House will vote on DC statehood next week. 🗣️ Let's do this.

Pointing out that birth control pills have a worse blood clot rate than any vaccine isn’t saying “blood clots are fine” but rather that it’s amazing what we won’t tolerate for the general population but will tolerate for mostly women for 60 years completely unchecked.

I’m deeply insulted just by how anyone is expected to function normally or carry on with business as usual. These police killings continue to evoke images of the whipping post. We’re all made to witness this brutality by our gov’t & then told to get back to work.

frankly anyone saying “Black people do what you need to do to take care of yourself” is well-intentioned, but acting as though there is much that individual Black people can do to mitigate the physical & mental harm caused by the constant thread of state violence is silly
