@raetheforce where is the one that has her? I need to see it

One Gatsby musical has Solea Pfeiffer and the other doesn’t so you do the math on which one I care about more.

🚨 "Emergent Strategy" by @adriennemaree ,is saving me r n. "Movements must use biomimicry to be resilient, adaptive, decentralized, interconnected, detoxifying, fractal and iterative in nature to create a future worthy of Earthseed." therumpus.net/2018/04/horn-r… …

The criminalization of Black children knows no bounds. Every part of this travesty must be abolished as we reimagine child welfare, care, and safety.

Healthcare is where public and private love in the forms of justice and tenderness must coexist. This is what we are about. This is why we do this! A UW program to improve maternal health outcomes for Black women and other underserved community members. magazine.washington.edu/feature/uw-pro…

@TheAmandaGorman Poets always makes the revolution look a little to irresistible!

They won't call it a ban. Yet not only has my book been moved, but now elementary schoolers must request a copy from a specialist at its new site AND then also PROVE their reading level before seeing a copy. All these hurdles for a young reader just to access a poem in history written for them. @MDCPS , history is not ours to hoard from children. History has always been theirs to make. And the more they're empowered to know our yesterdays, the more prepared they will be to lead us into tomorrow.

Today, along with @RepDebDingell and @SenSanders, I’m introducing the Medicare for All Act of 2023. Health care is a human right. Everybody in, nobody out. Let’s get this done. #MedicareForAll

Under DeSantis’s new laws, Floridians may never learn there was once a Black Superintendent of Schools in Florida who was so forceful in his advocacy for civil and educational rights, that he had to sleep armed in his attic to ward off attacks from the KKK. Meet Jonathan Gibbs.

From colonial powers forcing countries into debt from independence, to corporations today like @BlackRock making huge profits from debt repayments - we can’t fight this debt crisis without understanding its roots in racism. debtjustice.org.uk/colonialism #DebtColonialism #CancelTheDebt

Republicans want to block student debt cancellation for tens of millions of low and middle income Americans. They also want to force millions of Americans to retroactively make months of payments – reversing transformative relief provided by @POTUS. It's totally unacceptable.

Transphobia eventually becomes this: harassing random strangers in the bathroom and getting yourself heated bc you believe, from your visual observation, that it's possible to know someone's gender just by looking at them.

While we rejoice in the return of baby Mila, we must not forget the terror & trauma that the family policing system and its collusion of CPS, cops & doctors inflicted on her & her parents—and inflicts on Black families every single day. #AbolishCPS cnn.com/2023/04/24/us/…

@DorothyERoberts @nytimes Yes Dr. Roberts! We've known this for a long time! It is a direct artefact of the mandates for testing in federally funded health facilities where people without insurance and with subsidized health care get care. Systemic racism makes this a birth to prison pipeline.

I first wrote about the racist drug testing & reporting of Black pregnant women in @nytimes—in 1990! nytimes.com/1990/08/11/opi…
