Over 100 billion people have lived on our planet.
Just 622 have been to space.
Just 12 have set foot on another celestial object, our barren moon.
Not a single human has been to another planet.
We know of no other planet that can sustain human life.
Why is it so damn hard to get people to care about protecting the only home we've ever had and the only place we can live?
We often view violence through the lens of a person with a lethal weapon harming another—but we should expand our view to recognizing the different types of violence that harm society.
For example:
•Poverty is violence
•Banning asylum is violence
•Denying reparations is violence
•Forcing child hunger is violence
•Denying healthcare access is violence
Violence isn’t just when a person uses a Lethal weapon on another person. It’s also when Legal power is weaponized to deny justice to any person.
Today, for the first time in American history, a major political party will have no white men in its top leadership positions in the House.
Leader: Hakeem Jeffries (NY-8)
Whip: Katherine Clark (MA-5)
Chair: Pete Aguilar (CA-33)
Let us strive in 2023 to alleviate the struggles of others, and uplift all humanity on the tenets of justice.
Much love to all of you for your amazing compassion and support in my struggle for universal human rights. I am grateful for your continued love, prayers, and support as we elevate our struggle for justice in 2023 and beyond. Let's get to work.

As Southwest CEO Bob Jordan pretends to apologize—remember—SW got a $7B federal bailout, spent $5.6B of that on Stock Buybacks, gave their CEO a raise to $9.1M, & forced frontline workers into 16 hour shifts under threat of termination—while spending $0 updating SW software😳
Southwest’s debacle isn’t an accident. It’s the predictable result of billionaire & corporate corruption & greed—& thousands of workers & travelers are paying the price.
In a just world SW execs will face criminal charges.
As a human rights lawyer who has done extensive immigration work, let me make something absolutely clear.
Asylum is legal immigration.
There's no "port of entry" requirement.
There's no "visa" requirement.
There's no "first country" requirement.
You enter the United States, and you apply for asylum.
Because asylum is legal immigration. Period.
Period.
Know how we know these comments are grounded in white supremacy—not national security?
Right now there are 600,000+ undocumented immigrants in America from Canada & Europe—when was the last time you heard MAGA call for a northern border wall or travel ban from Europe?🤔
That’s the complexion for protection. An ask again to demand Dems pass DACA protections before Jan 3. Do not leave DACA’s fate to MAGA extremists: https://bit.ly/3YedKtj
