A beautiful night in Kingston as communities from all over the Hudson Valley stepped up to demand a #CeasefireNOW

Let’s not forget #BrittneyGriner. #FreeBrittneyGriner

Labor Day is a good day to remind people that police unions/associations should not be part of the labor movement.

From the systemic murder of unarmed Black people to the unjust & violent arrests of horrified parents at the scene of a school shooting, this country is awash in evidence that defunding the police isn't just a good idea but one that's morally necessary.

Thank you @CNN for telling the truth about the Israeli military’s targeted and deadly attack on Shireen Abu Akleh. @zeenasaifi @elizamackintosh @katie_polglase cnn.com/2022/05/24/mid…

The Denver program to send social workers instead of police (STAR) has responded to over 2,200 calls low-level/intox/MH calls. They have never called for police back-up due to a safety issue. Never. Think about that.

Keep saying her name. Justice is building a world where Breonna Taylor would still be alive today.

Until our freedom to vote is secured, we won’t see progress on the issues that matter most to us — abortion access, gun violence prevention, economic equality, racial justice, climate change. President Biden and Congress: do what’s right and pass voting rights legislation NOW.

PSA: Martin Luther King Jr.’s family is calling for no celebration of MLK Day without action on voting rights legislation. Spread the word.

It’s been 20+ months since I had a very “mild” case of COVID and I still have nerve damage and haven’t regained my sense of smell or taste. I’m 36 years-old and otherwise healthy. (Something to keep in mind when you hear about Omicron being a “milder” variant).

Don’t forget: this isn’t just about Joe Manchin. It’s about the dark money and billionaires and coal interests behind him, which keep winning at ours and the planet’s expense. Manchin is a living breathing reminder that America is often more oligarchic than it is democratic.

Retweet if you agree that our governments should send a package of rapid tests & N95 masks to every household, every week, for free.

With @wirecutter/@nytimes management refusing to come to the table to reach a deal, 100% of our unit will be striking from Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday. The best way you can support us is by boycotting @wirecutter from 11/25-11/29: wirecutterunion.com/support-us/

We know that this outcome is yet another example of a system that protects white violence and devalues our lives based on who we are and what we look like. #ReimagineKenosha

Julius Jones will live to fight another day. This did not happen because the the State had a moral conversion, a shift in conscience, or was persuaded by the evidence. It happened because The People fought back. The People are the heroes here. Not Governor Stitt.

Whiteness is an identity politics too—the most powerful, in fact.

Watch and share last night's #UnderTheBlacklight, "Educators Ungagged: Teaching Truth in the Era of Racial Backlash." It is vital that we listen to teachers and students, and continue the difficult but necessary work of organizing to support them. youtu.be/-WVjPWBqI64

bc race as discussed in political media rarely includes whiteness, stories abt dem erosion in white, rural areas come from one direction. "why Ds lost these voters by going too far" and not how this version of Rs, thru an open embrace of grievance politics, are winning them anew
