A key feature of the generational divide is young folks’ understanding of intersectionality as “adults” scoff at their supposed ineptitude as the planet literally burns around us.
The U.S. military has the largest carbon footprint of any entity on earth.

I've seen no credible reporting of actual antisemitic incidents at the UT Austin protest. What I can tell you is that I've reported on numerous neo-Nazi events and Greg Abbott never once tried to put any of them in jail.

One of the demands of this occupation was to remove “Public Safety” from USC for their targeting of Black and brown students.
The first second of this clip depicts a Public Safety cop putting a student in a chokehold.

Today’s growing student movements, from #ColumbiaUniversity to #UCBerkeley to #USC, calling on their universities to divest from Israeli apartheid, echo the powerful legacy of Vietnam-era student protests, showcasing a deep-rooted tradition of activism for human rights. 1/4

Arrests underway as state troopers raid the Emerson College Gaza Solidarity Encampment.
Students have prepped barricades and a soft umbrella line to defend against less lethals. They’re singing “Which side are you on”

More profound when you consider that Doctors Without Borders rarely makes political statements.
In #UNSC mtg on Middle East, @MSF SG Christopher Lockyear says: "Israeli forces have attacked our convoys, detained our staff, bulldozed our vehicles, hospitals have been bombed and raided. And now for a second time, one of our staff shelters has been hit. This pattern of attacks is either intentional or indicative of reckless incompetence. Our colleagues in #Gaza are fearful that as I speak to you today, they will be punished tomorrow."
He adds: "The humanitarian response in Gaza today is an illusion. A convenient illusion that perpetuates a narrative that this war is being waged in line with international laws. Calls for humanitarian assistance have echoed across this chamber. Yet in Gaza we have less and less every day, less space, less medicine, less food, less water, less safety."

This is not a coincidence…they’re getting ready to squash the resistance
Wow. Now Baltimore Police, one of most corrupt over-policed depts. wants to build a Cop City. Atlanta protesters warned us if we don’t #StopCopCity in ATL, there’d be cop cities in every city. Stopping this tide of irreversible fascism is America’s greatest domestic issue.

$875 until we hit $12k
Remember I said I was nervous to start the back to school fundraiser and so many encouraged me to just post it.
It's been up for 24 hours and only 1 donation.
2 years ago we raised $21k, last year we only raised under $6k.
Yea, i'm nervous now.

The writers and actors were joined by striking flight attendants and hotel workers on the picket line today. This country is being forced to decide between access to a decent life for 99% of us, or letting the richest people in the world get even richer. That's the fight.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-to-1
CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 2020: 366-to-1
CEO-to-worker pay ratio now: 399-to-1
Is it really any mystery why thousands of workers across multiple industries have been on strike?

If you know any recent high school graduates of color who may have an interest in attending an HBCU (Delaware State) on a full ROTC scholarship to become a pilot, please dm me.
I have a contact for you.

$525 until we hit $5k to purchase backpacks and school supplies for local kids.
Can’t believe if we hit this years goal we will be at 20,000 local students helped over 8 years
Yesterday we only made around $100. I hate knowing I am going to struggle to fill 1,000 backpacks. Each backpack is around $20 to fill with the bare minimum of supplies.
Please don't let this year be the year I fail

Republican-led Georgia is joining hands with Democrat-led Atlanta to commit voter suppression in order to stop people from voting against Cop City, a massive $90 million police training facility that will also require razing forest land.
