We don't talk enough about how any contact at all with the criminal punishment system can destroy your life. The arrest, the court dates, missing work and other associated costs etc... People who aren't proximate to this really have no idea.

I saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven

Thank you for featuring my book www.ugapress.org/978082037373... in your series spotlight! 🙏🏽

What an honor to connect with you! I absolutely adore this book and its message! Read it to my now-grown kids! We all grew up in the library, my mom’s a librarian! And I know John Lewis would’ve approved of library lion making good trouble! Thx so much for writing it!!! 🥰❤️🙏🏽

Thanks so much for the shout-out! Countdown is on, pre-order! Release date next month!

I wish someone could hear me, but no.. they are not merely trying to “resegregate” the United States. They are trying to destroy the United States and rebuild an authoritarian regime from the rubble, with CEO-dictators in charge. They’re not trying to bring back colored water fountains..

I can’t imagine being so evil that special ed teachers and resources are deemed “government waste”. What the fuck is the government there for? To make bombs?

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Worlds richest man wants to get rid of food safety, clean water protections, worker, protections, auto safety standards, clean air protections, financial regulations, and any rules that might prevent corporate interest from harming people and the environment. That’s all. This is war.

What folks are getting a tough lesson in right now: Institutions are people. They are not abstract forces that exist as firewalls or safeguards. They are just people who play a role and who perhaps have abided by norms, but whose decisions minute to minute shape the role those institutions play.

Dear 🧪🔭⚛️:

Stop calling the anti-DEIA executive orders, bans, work stoppages, research stoppages, and whatever else “rollbacks.” The executive orders are Resegregation Orders. These are attempts to return us to segregation.“

First you come for the books, then you attack some small groups of people folks don't really understand to test if others will stop you and insight fear, then have some military parades, then...come for more people...

We sound best when we harmonize!! 🎶❤️🧡💛💚🩵💜

Welcome, BDubs! 💙😍

i’m kind of amazed at how this is just the crudest, most obvious n****rbaiting you can imagine. “the people you don’t like, yeah, they are responsible for everything bad.” and it works!

“A semester ago, I mainly knew of racism and sexism as rude remarks and wage gaps. But throughout this course, I’ve come to realize the intricate and pervasive nature of these forms of oppression and how deeply embedded they are into our society.” (Student paper)
Grading moments of gratitude 🙏🏽

I was going to say Dying of Whiteness but I see it’s already been mentioned! Just wanted to add an amen to that! And not just health care, but gun control and other issues— ultimately choosing whiteness over their own health, safety & well being.
