Slavery. Black codes. Jim Crow. Redlining. Mass incarceration. Every step of the way, Black Americans have been intentionally pushed back economically. A debt is owed. It’s time to pay that debt. It’s time for reparations.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on... Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Happy 83rd birthday to Claudette Colvin! She refused to move to the back of a bus 9 months before Rosa Parks, the NAACP did not want to use her to represent them because she was 15 & pregnant. Other women who refused to give up their seats before Rosa Parks A THREAD!

Black history should be taught. That shouldn’t be controversial.

The effort to separate the officers who murdered Tyre Nichols from the system of policing that produced them is palpable. Police killings in the US reached a record high in 2022. That has only been rewarded with more funding at the expense of schools, hospitals, housing, & more.

Did you know? When Bill Clinton banned assault weapons in 1994, mass shootings dropped by 43%. After George W. Bush and the GOP let the assault weapons ban expire in 2004, mass shootings increased by 245%. — These numbers tell a story.

You can have a job and be unhoused. You can be jobless and still deserve housing. Please understand that having a job does not necessarily mean a ticket out of poverty. More importantly, having a job does not validate your sense of humanity.

For every extra $1 you’re paying due to inflation, 54¢ is going right into the pockets of big corporations. Wall Street is price gouging families to earn sky-high profits, jeopardizing our entire economy in the process.

Memo to the Fed: Your rate hikes aren't slowing inflation because inflation is coming from big corporations using the cover of inflation to increase their prices more than their costs.

Stop telling Jewish people to get over what Kanye said and that he’s mentally ill and not serious. Stop telling Black people his t-shirt was a joke. Antisemitism is real. Anti-Blackness is real. Words matter. Words are what start unwarranted hate towards people.

It's day 4 and over a million people in Puerto Rico still don't have power. Thousands don't have water. And there's now a heat advisory, with the heat index reaching 112 on some parts of the Island. Don't let the 24 hour social media cycle just move past Hurricane Fiona.

Ghazi started EMPIRE in 2010 on credit card debt, while living in a 350sq ft apartment that necessitated keeping his clothes in his car trunk. Yet he managed to run the business in the black from day one and has never taken a single dollar of investment. youtube.com/watch?v=FoD9ge…

The entire island of Puerto Rico lost power and 60% of households still don't have clean running water. The full resources of the U.S. government must be brought to bear to address the suffering of our fellow citizens.

Millions of people – including more than 1 in 3 women between the ages of 15 and 44 – have lost abortion access in America. Enough is enough. Codify abortion rights nationwide.

More people need to be talking about Jackson, Mississippi. The city ran out of bottled water to give residents yesterday. It’s the largest city in Mississippi. It’s 80% Black. Their water system is failing because of years of neglect. This is environmental racism.
