Marching bands in Atlanta came prepared for a stand-off with the Proud Boys: playing the infamous Bella Ciao that became an anti-fascist anthem after World War 2. ✊ The lyrics are Italian but you can see the translation below 👇

Padlocks people

And THIS is why I called out my white peers for their racist actions as a child while the adults chastised me for not “minding my business” - this is never just “so long ago” or “in the past” when I am currently witnessing acts of hate.

This finding reinforces what we already know: Strong gun safety laws work, full stop.

I'ma remind y'all EVERY SINGLE TIME that non of this is unprecedented. YOU just didn't care when it was Black folks fighting for our lives.

If a Muslim in the US publicly called for a missile strike on a famous celebrity activist onboard a civilian ship or plane, the FBI would be investigating them for terrorism. But a rich white guy gets to incite violence without any consequences 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽

Los Angeles school worker shares frustration over parents having to leave their children’s graduation ceremony because ICE raided an elementary school’s graduation today

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

Here are some texts I got from an immigration lawyer friend of mine. Shared with permission. Some of the bleakest shit I’ve ever heard.

Now, for those white people out there triggered,who feel like you’re being judged by skin color - STOP - PLEASE just stop & reflect. Because if this isn’t who you are then WHY are you offended? Perhaps you’re whiteness matters more to you than you want to admit- perhaps it describes you too closely😕

When "required by law" becomes just a suggestion.

Art touches the soul only in children is there less restraint to hold back its impact.

I have something very personal to share with you. Next month, my new graphic memoir, IT RHYMES WITH TAKEI, will pull back the curtain on my life in the closet—and my pivotal decision to come out. It’s never too late to stand up for who you are. More info: ow.ly/rEO750VEuxt

When asked if the United States should have a military parade to show off its might, President Eisenhower responded: “Absolutely not. We are the pre-eminent power on Earth. For us to try and imitate what the Soviets are doing in Red Square would make us look weak.”

Your School House Rock moment......

I’m sorry but the favorable ratio is still too high for me to consider this a win for now.

Dysfunctional dystopia should be the definition of this time period in future American history. The people who pontificate on the “castle doctrine” and “stand you ground laws” want to erase the very rights they claim to protect based on - what?!? - a hunch be a racist organization like ICE!!!

I’m proud to be a Missourian when elected officials such as Missouri State Rep. Raychel Proudie serve to speak for herself and every person who voted for the ability to have bodily autonomy and to not be considered only an incubator by life’s happenstance. youtube.com/watch?v=_kR7...

So apparently the person in charge of our nations security doesn’t know how to manage her own purse. Who the F caries $3000 around in cash. If I had that much money on me I’d have a chain attached from my purse to my belt! Fashion be damned! apple.news/Atcjcb_UiTQS...
