South Carolina is 1 of only 2 states without a Hate Crime Bill. On Feb. 4, 2025, Councilwoman Little pushed for a Hate Crime Ordinance in Richland County. If passed, it’ll be the first county in S.C. with a Hate Intimidation law. #HateWontWin #StopHate #JusticeForAll #SCPolitics #PassTheBill

BROKE BOY His whole life a conman got YALL!

white women were not passive beneficiaries of slavery, 40% of named individual slaveholders were white women.

BREAKING: A woman was kicked out of a women’s bathroom at a Massachusetts hotel by a security guard who demanded she “prove her gender.” No badge gives you the right to sexually harass someone in a bathroom. This is what fascism looks like in real time. And it’s coming to your city next.

Grotesque anti-Muslim, anti-migrant hate against victims of genocide who are vulnerable in Myanmar. “Children as young as 15, girls as young as 16, senior citizens up to 66, people suffering from cancer & other ailments were among those abandoned into the sea without regard for their lives/safety”.

Also worth noting the community had her back from beginning to end ✊🏾 www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Boundaries don’t create enemies, they expose them.

People are really showing how much they ignored BLM, water protectors, cop city and pro-Palestine protests, or agreed with the military response by municipal police departments, cause the shock at these ICE abduction videos is telling.

Heads up.

Thanks to mom, our face card will never decline. Happy Mother’s Day!

Y’all are sitting at home watching a Black leader get arrested and all you’re doing is typing FACISM on social media and that’s why no Black people should be doing shit right now.

Reports that Boston Celtics star Kristaps Porzingis likely has Long COVID or a similar post-viral illness. This has reduced his ability to play and is a major reason why the Celtics are losing playoff games. We need to break the stigma around Long COVID. It can affect everyone.

Thousands gather demanding an end to the war and the release of Israeli captives in Gaza.

Environmental Justice Update. In the first 100 days of the 2nd Trump presidency, the Administration took steps to roll back environmental justice (EJ) considerations in federal decision making. A few states have stepped up. | K&L Gates LLP - JDSupra www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/en...

Regular citizens spent TWO MONTHS planning, fundraising, and executing the March on Washington without the convenience of the modern day internet. Please spare me your bullshit. www.loc.gov/exhibits/mar...

Nobel Prize winning science.

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka. They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

Today, our client Rümeysa Öztürk was released on bail from ICE detention in Louisiana, and she will return to New England to continue her studies. 📸 Giancarlo D’Agostaro

If I’m a student at Columbia right now with any sort of social justice views, I’d be considering transferring if possible. None of this is worth it IMO.

They keep testing the limits.

BREAKING: A federal court ruled that our client Rümeysa Öztürk must be released on bail immediately. She will return home to New England as her case proceeds.

Despite policy rollbacks, grassroot solar energy advocates continue to champion clean energy, pushing for a decentralized, community-led future powered by the sun. Grassroots solar is more than power—it's people taking control, one rooftop at a time ☀️ insideclimatenews.org/news/0805202...

The culture war against Black people is wild. We fought and died for civil rights, voting, free speech, public education, police reform etc., rights everyone enjoys today. And yet we still face outrageous racism from the same folks reaping the benefits. Chilleeee, I’m tired.

Impossible to communicate to people that once you decide that a group more vulnerable than you can be sacrificed in the name of your own safety or interests that you have already entered into an tacit agreement that you can also be sacrificed in the interests of a group less vulnerable than you.

Mayor Brandon Johnson’s plan to spur affordable housing construction with a new loan fund finally passed in the City Council Wednesday after weeks of wrangling. The passage of Johnson’s ambitious “Green Social Housing” plan marks one of the mayor’s first major legislative wins of the year.

Chicago is on to something.

When white leftists organize off of a class reductionist framework with no racial justice analysis, things like this happen. Prove you can make the space safe before expecting our buy-in.

Now it’s making sense why they’re doing it.

It takes 1 minute to send a letter to all NYC Mayoral candidates demanding increased public library funding: actionnetwork.org/letters/dema...

Harvard didn’t do this, but it’s still funny.

Definitely read this interview with @naomiaklein.bsky.social.

Hey yall. I’m peeking out my fort because it’s #GiveNOLA Day. If you’re looking for an org to support, the Alliance for Affordable Energy does great advocacy and educational work. Here’s their donation link: www.givenola.org/organization...
