In a shocking hate crime at a Kansas HS, a white boy viciously attacked a Black girl student while yelling the N Word. The assault resulted in the Black girl's nose being broken and her hospitalization. The school suspended the Black girl for 5 days.

King Charles III is now head of state in 14 countries outside the UK — a legacy of British colonization.
But some have indicated plans to cut those ties:
In Jamaica, officials have said they plan to become a republic and seek $10 billion in reparations for the slave trade.

You’re not free if you can be kicked out of school or lose your job if somebody says your hair is a distraction. Hair discrimination is racial discrimination. #essencefest

Sharing stories & centering lived experience enables us to craft policy that is reflective of & responsive to the needs of the people — like the #CROWNAct.
This is how we meet the moment.
It’s time for the Senate to pass our critical bill.

Folks, I can tweet this out every day and night because I strongly believe it...until and unless we examine and address our implicit biases, we will continue to get the same results that we have been getting. #Leading4EquityNYC #StrategiesToReduceImplicitBias @perceptioninst

It is ridiculous that Congress upholds War on Drugs-era barriers on federal research into substances like psilocybin, ibogaine,& MDMA when early results are indicating major promise in treating PTSD, addiction,& more.
I’m trying (again) to lift them so we can pursue the science.
NEW: Rep. @AOC has again filed an amendment to remove a federal research barrier in the hopes of promoting research into psychedelics like MDMA and psilocybin.
