58 years ago the first week of March 1965, in Selma, AL, USA, 600 Americans started a 50-mile march towards AL state capitol of Montgomery. They were protesting laws that prevented Black Americans from exercising voting rights. Predictably, as the demonstrators walked to the Edmund Pettus Bridge, Alabama State troopers used menacing, violence, and tear gas to disperse them.

Full stop.

This is how Nazis galvanize their base

Scapegoating the most marginalized citizens and inciting violence

The book burning photo from May 1933? Nazis were burning books from Magnus Hirschfeld’s Institute of Sexology including works on transgender studies. Right before all out genocide commenced.

• if you need an abortion (or had one) in a state where it’s illegal, don’t discuss it on social media at all, but ESPECIALLY not on Meta (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp)
• if you need abortion pills, DO NOT search for them on Google. It sucks anyway. Use DuckDuckGo or another search engine.
• if you buy abortion pills, do it through a trusted third party who lives in a blue state.

Reminder: Billionaires are not “self-made.” They’re made via a combination of inherited wealth, government subsidies, tax loopholes, labor exploitation, and policy failures.

Can we stop perpetuating a myth that blames the wealth gap on the choices of everyday Americans?

In 2021, the total shareholder return of CEO David Zaslav’s company fell by 21%, but his compensation jumped from $38 million to $247 million — an increase of ~550%.

Meanwhile, his company has been letting employees go left and right.

Is this kind of leadership worth rewarding?

7-year-old: Abbu when you were 7 what did you want to be when you growed up?

I love the clarity with which children think. Their purity cuts through the obstacles and gets straight to the point. May we all always maintain such courage of our convictions. ❤️

On Thursday, President Biden is to travel to Philadelphia to release his FY2024 federal budget.
@mekkaokereke imagine thinking "Oh no, black people with guns!" while walking around amongst a bunch of armed white guys who, statistically speaking, are _much_ more likely to randomly shoot you.

1 in 10 Florida citizens has a concealed carry permit.

They don't all carry every day, but still.

Most Americans want there to be more gun control.

But the far-right element wants there to be much less or no gun control. They're removing even the most basic background checks, and removing the requirements that you complete even a basic gun safety course before getting your concealed carry permit. Just go to the gun store, hand over your credit card, and now you are armed? This is bad.
