I just mustered up every ounce of courage to interrupt White House Press Secretary @K_JeanPierre and urge the Biden Administration to stop approving new coal, oil, and gas projects. The climate crisis is here now. @POTUS, listen to Gen-Z, scientists, and frontline communities

This Is what our ancestors were doing on July 4th 1776. Wasn't no fireworks or celebrations #NeverForget

This two bit, self loathing, sycophantic, white supremacy apologizing, uncle ruckus, benefited from race-based preferences throughout his entire career, yet sided with conservatives to overturn affirmative action. Clarence Thomas was admitted to Holy Cross in 1968 in part because the school was actively looking for Black students. He was admitted to Harvard Law School in 1971 right after it adopted a “race conscious“ admissions policy, but chose to go to Yale at the exact moment it created its first explicit affirmative action program with a goal of 10% minority enrollment. Thomas was one of 12 Black students in the class of 175. His application was evaluated separately and he received special consideration because he was Black. When Thomas left Yale he was hired by John Danforth, the Attorney General of Missouri. Danforth admitted it was because he was seeking to have a diverse office and that Clarence Thomas was hired because he was Black. Thomas left Danforth’s office to work for Monsanto at a time when the company was looking to hire Black lawyers. He went back to work for Danforth when he was a US senator and was looking to diversify his staff. He then went to work for Reagan’s Department of Education and was offered the job in part because he was Black. He then became chairman of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, a position that six Black women turned down before he accepted it. His entire career was a result of affirmative action. This man epitomizes hypocrisy and has always been an enemy to Black progress in this nation. #SCOTUS #AffirmativeAction

Under DeSantis’s new laws, Floridians may never learn there was once a Black Superintendent of Schools in Florida who was so forceful in his advocacy for civil and educational rights, that he had to sleep armed in his attic to ward off attacks from the KKK. Meet Jonathan Gibbs.

The Texas mall mass shooting proves we need gun reform. For the Republicans who want to sit there and do nothing, get the hell out of our way so we can start saving lives 👇

This an image you haven't seen today because mainstream media has been covering Donald Trump's motorcade & plane all day long. These are Nashville students walking out today, sick and tired of the NRA and Republican inaction. The youth WILL save us, once again.

Keep. It. Up.

No, this isn’t Trump’s future prison or his handcuffs. These tiny cuffs and this “Modernized jail for the incorrigibles” were for Native children at the Carlisle Indian Boarding School in Pennsylvania. This is the U.S. history people like Ron DeSantis—don’t want you to know.
