Learn about the Dec. 29 1890 #WoundedKneeMassacre, and remember: -Don't call it a "battle." It was a massacre of up to 300 unarmed Lakota people mowed down by the US Army. -There's no need to share the horrific photos of the frozen dead, which is retraumatizing to descendants.

Title 42 weaponized white supremacist stereotypes about immigrants and put desperate families in danger. Biden could have ended it on day one, but instead fought to keep it in place. inthesetimes.com/article/tit…

😱 The Pentagon recently failed their 5th-ever audit, meaning they've never successfully been audited. But within that failure, we learned some shocking new details — such as they can't account for over HALF of their assets. THREAD 🧵

Today 5 community activists were arrested for protesting Atlanta's new "Cop City" with tree sits, forest blockades, and allegedly throwing rocks at police. They're being charged with domestic terrorism. Here's why all activists need to be paying attention:

There have been at least 12 murder convictions overturned in Suffolk County (Boston) since 2019. 11 of those 12 involved the wrongful convictions of Black men. 92%. They were sentenced to die in prison. There are many more who remain in prison. Right now. #FreeThemAll

“The costliest crime in the U.S. is actually being committed by corporations,” says @Trevornoah, citing EPI research on wage theft. “Instead of following Black people around the store, security guards should be hovering over CEOs at their desk.” youtu.be/SmVob1QMdMQ?t=264

Today, 9amET. I’m so grateful to @CBSSunday for producing a segment exposing the harms the family policing system inflicts on children and their families. Please watch if you can and spread the word.

Critics say the policies of child welfare agencies, rather than acting for the benefit of children, in many cases harm families. cbsn.ws/3H7Ampo

Experts say a system designed to protect children breaks up families

“I don't care how much theory you got, if it don't have any practice applied to it, then that theory happens to be irrelevant.” The FBI and Chicago PD murdered Black Panther chairman Fred Hampton in his sleep on this day in 1969. He was only 21 years old.
