I never thought she'd ever leave these spaces. I just hoped for accountability within them. I've made peace with co-existing in this world, but how is someone who had a PPO against them STILL on your Editorial Board for a journal on INTERPERSONAL VIOLENCE.

Them: We’re short staffed. We don’t have teachers, bus drivers, restaurant workers, delivery persons, nursing aides… people don’t want to work! Me: It could be that… or maybe it’s that 715,000 people have died…& currently another 1 is dying every 47seconds. They were “staff”

The black experience while working w/predominantly white organizations during the women's march.....holy shit, white ppl, we cannot tolerate this garbage. We have to stop it when we see it. We have to consider how it looks TO THEM, not to whoever we're trying to persuade. Dadgum.
We’re here and listening! @HoustonHoochies are getting ready to speak on their experience with the Houston Women’s March! teapawt.org/i/spaces/1yoKMWRadXDJQ

Can we please stop "he or she" in academic writing and just switch to the singular "they"? I promise nobody will be confused

Today, we’re making it so school uniform and dress code policies in Illinois cannot prohibit or restrict hairstyles historically associated with race, ethnicity or hair texture. I'm proud we're continuing to make powerful strides in transforming the culture of our schools.

Violence is a problem whether official rates are going up, or down, or staying the same, and whether the violence is understood as ‘crime’ or not.

Unpopular message coming in 3, 2, 1. In public health, you have to meet people where they are. Some will never get vaccinated. Shaming them wont help. We must provide them with alt tools to control spread. Mask, ventilation, distancing, testing, tracing, isolation still work.

Even if you're fully vaccinated, the CDC still recommends not listening to men with no medical qualifications on any subject related to reproductive healthcare.

💔Our hearts break as we demand #JusticeForDaunteWright... 261 people killed by police so far in 2021. "Abolition is the vision of a restructured society where we have everything that we need to live dignified lives." - Mariame Kaba of @prisonculture Images: @LeeyaArt

Story of a 66-year-old researcher, an immigrant, who rarely got grants, never got her own lab, never earned more than $60K. For four decades, she kept working on mRNA—a path considered foolish. Her work is the basis for the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. nytimes.com/2021/04/08/healt…

A world without police is possible. A world without racism is possible. A world without fascism is possible. A world without sexism is possible. A world without capitalism is possible.

22-year-old Soma Sara created a website to fight back against #rapeculture. Now thousands of young people are speaking out about their sexual harassment, assault, rape and abuse. It has been dubbed a '#MeToo moment' for boarding schools across the UK. youtube.com/watch?v=j8R1PcDo…

So let me get this straight: 55 of the most profitable companies in America paid no federal income taxes, but Republicans in Congress still think corporate taxes are too high?

It's telling that the people who just witnessed the murder of George Floyd feel more guilt and remorse than the cop who murdered him.
