In case anyone is under the impression that things are getting back to normal here in the U.S., yesterday 🧊 grabbed a fruit seller off the street in broad daylight in my community. This was only one of several kidnappings in the area yesterday. Don’t let the circus distract you from the ongoing harm

A bill to allow people to buy a "hot" rotisserie chicken being lauded as revolutionary kindness is going to kill me.

Not enough people are talking about how hard it is to provide a nutritious, home-cooked dinner at a consistent, reasonable hour when you work a full-time job.

Police violently grab Black woman by her neck—flip her over backwards headfirst onto pavement. She was standing with her hands behind her back—not resisting being handcuffed. All while at least 4 police officers surround the woman—pointing guns directly at her. Columbus, Ohio.

She was 9 weeks pregnant. She died. The state of Georgia is making the doctors keep her alive to incubate the baby. She’s been dead for three months. This is REAL. this isn’t about what should or should not be done. This is about having a VOICE. This is about having a CHOICE.
