“Living in the OC was tough as a young, Black, African kid. I was a token, a play thing, or something to be made fun of. I internalized a lot of that hatred, and it took me another decade to unlearn.” - Suzanne Mungalez

Gaza's archives are gone. These archives documented a history deeply rooted long before immigrants from Eastern Europe arrived in our country.
The Israeli occupation destroys the central archive of #Gaza municipality, executing thousands of historical documents, and deliberately razing all life forms; erasing the city and its #history. It is worth noting that the archive holds #documents more than a hundred years old.

The police invaded @chechebooks at our solidarity meeting and arrested 3 of our Comrades who are now at Muthangari Police station. Call for their release. This is illegal and unconstitutional!

"I don’t want to hear you say, 'Honey, I’m behind you.' Well, move. I don’t want you back there because you could be 200 miles behind. I want you to say, 'I’m with you.' And we’ll go up this freedom road together." - Fannie Lou Hamer, activist and humanitarian (b.1917-d.1977)

Eric Adams Locking up mentally ill people should terrify everyone ESPECIALLY at this stage in the pandemic.
One of the very first things that happened on the heels of the 1918 flu pandemic was a rising hostility towards disabled people and their involuntary institutionalization

Black and Indigenous folks from Latin America are very familiar with the anti-Black, anti-Indigenous language Nury Martinez used. We aren't surprised- we hear it from politicians, media, at the grocery store, in school, for some of us, in our own families. Listen to us.

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day! Especially to our Indigenous relatives of the Caribbean!

“Israel” is a fanatical settler project that was not only established through massacres but is sustained by them. Palestinians have every right to resist and defend themselves against Zionist aggression. #GazaUnderAttack

If your paper or study doesn’t include Native Americans and Alaska Natives because of insufficient data on us, say that! Put it in the limitations section. Spotlight it as an urgent need for future work. Don’t just leave us out because the system has made us invisible. – at Tucson, AZ

Pete Buttigieg, the head of the U.S Dept of Transportation recently said that if we all went out to get electric vehicles, we wouldn't be effected by historically high gas prices.
But did you know this about electric cars: that they come at a very high human cost?
