Here's him in his own words. And here's constantly bothers me. Shiloh Hendrix can raise nearly a million dollars for being racist. Nolan Wells "friends" are adding thousands to their crowd fund everyday. And we cant even save the modern Library of Alexandria

Okay, here's something im very passionate about. A man in Europe named Baba Nkrumah Pepukayi has the largest Black book collection in the whole continent. Over 1 million books. And he's at risk of losing it all. The spirit of Arturo Schomburg compells us to not let this happen

THIS IS WHY!!!! WE CALL!!! GREAT JOB EVERYONE 🩷 KOSA did pass the house but remember the senate has a conflicting version. Keep calling, it matters!

SCREEN Act, which would have required mandatory age-verification for sites (like this) that allow "material harmful to minors" failed to pass out of committee after thousands and thousands of people called their Senators. More work ahead!

We have so many of these stories happening in communities (often minority communities) around our country that are not getting enough attention.

Not only was she loudly right about everything and reviled for it, in 2017 O'Connor donated 30 years worth of clothes and makeup to trans girls in Ireland.

Aaron Rogers gets ridiculed for his antivaxx position, because his antivaxx position is ridiculous. Antivaxx silliness would be funny if it didn't get so many children killed. We're in the middle of a measles spike right now.

Dwyane Wade and Shannon Sharpe talking about supporting his trans daughter. They "won" because they don't live in crippling fear of what some right-wing loser or online troll thinks about them. They don't care about them. They do care about trans kids. 👍🏿

Handy guide to determining if someone should get basic human rights. Is this person human? ---- yes - - - - > Yes | | No ⬇️ You're a bigot. All people are human. Ergo, the answer is still yes.

I was in a friend’s rental car and in place of a rear-view mirror there was a mirror-sized digital video feed of the back of the car. They replaced one of the most reliable & intuitive safety features in a car with a digital surrogate that could glitch at any moment. KEEP ANALOG SAFTEY FEATURES

Being ignorant hateful bigots, being silently complicit, or speaking up and using your platform to lift up and fight for the rights of marginalized people are very different, Steve. Pretty obvious you prefer option a, though.

Aaron Rodgers spoke out about Dr. Anthony Fauci. Sophie Cunningham spoke out about transgender athletes. Caitlin Clark chose not to weigh in. Three different approaches, one common result: criticism. Steve Buckley on how athletes can't win on social media: nyti.ms/3Sa9A7D

Nope. No. We are absolutely not going to normalize fucking lynching again. We’ve made a teensy tiny bit of progress & no. Full stop. Disgusting. It’s our job to demand law enforcement actually do the job we expect them to do & that those responsible are held accountable. Heartbroken for her family.

This sort of union busting is disgraceful and it hurts contracted workers too. We see it everywhere. When regulations are removed, corporations immediately move to maximize profit at the expense of employees, customers, and consumers. And there are problems within unions also, but that’s not this.

Marianne Dhenin@mariannedhe.bsky.social · yesterday

A union struggle is raging at a California hospital after workers got termination notices. "This move is part of a broader trend in healthcare," the union told @melbuer.bsky.social. "Employers are hiring workers as contractors...to avoid dealing with labor protections and an organized workforce."

This won’t undermine the program at all…

I've been irate at how little national coverage the killings of four Black men in Memphis by federal agents have gotten -- and even how little in Tennessee. The root? State lawmakers who wholeheartedly approve of the occupation of Memphis.

For those in Spokane and elsewhere who have lost their homes:

Good framing.

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

This is not about protecting girls, this is about eliminating trans people and women’s sports. Disgusting. And it should not be applied to boys, too. It should not happen to children PERIOD.

This is a good example too that it's not at all about sports. It's about erasing trans people from every facet of society and transphobes will take *any* opportunity to further their agenda.

Jemele Hill@jemelehill.bsky.social · 4d ago

The WNBA has never had a trans woman play in the league’s 30-year history and now the right and other anti-trans activists are hammering the league over something that has never been an issue, proving once again it isn’t about protection but exhibiting cruelty toward trans people.

Seems bad.
