This one is also very jarring and thus highly effective:
"By the time he died in 1968, three out of four white Americans disapproved of [MLK]. In the wake of his assassination, 31% of the country felt that he “brought it on himself”."

Whenever I encounter opposition to or finger-wagging about justice protests happening now, I find that showing people this poll truly does give them food for thought 👇

"Their job is to get you to react in a way that allows them to justify using the response they want. If you give this to them, the fight isn't over, but it becomes so much more difficult, and so many more people will get hurt."

New — Marcelo Gomes da Silva has finally been released from ICE detention where the 18-year-old was held in deplorable conditions. He helped translate paperwork for other detainees that said they were getting deported. Unimaginable.

If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow.
The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.

They were here! Saw reports of them in Davis, Gilman, Union. They circled around. Worry was that because they were at Target that they would aim for the high school (Somerville is small, everything is near everything), but they didn’t show. Admin + teachers + public kept kids safe, no ICE in schools

Somerville Middle Aged Lady Brigade was definitely riled up. Chats were on fire today. Superintendent says they never set foot on school property, so yay for everyone looking out. I think people will post up tomorrow too just in case they come back.

ICE was definitely in Somerville today. Email from the superintendent said “Please know that federal law enforcement agencies have not come on to any SPS school property. While they may have been seen nearby, we have not had an incident of ICE activity on school grounds.”
Kids are safe for now.

3/ Once RFK/CDC changed guidance yesterday, it's not clear that insurers will still cover shots. So yeah, affluent women will still be able to find a way, but women on Medicaid or who can't afford without insurance coverage could be SOL.
THAT'S INSANE>

4/ New and prospective parents should take to all those baby groups and fucking mobilize this shit out of this. Stroller marches, the whole damn thing.
Miscarriages and stillbirths are traumatizing. Sick or dead infants are traumatizing. Don't wait until it's you.
