We have an archaic assessment system based on standardized tests that don't begin to measure the full scope of what a student knows and is able to do.

It is obscene to me that we are cutting food stamps for 31 million people at a time when the top 0.1% of Americans own more wealth than the bottom 90%.
No one should starve in one of the wealthiest countries in the world.

Y’all be proud of overworking and constant labor. It makes no sense.

I hope this is true! Good for @Beyonce! This business is such a toxic ass environment for women and children (and sometimes men too). I hope more artist start taking this level of accountability to make their space safe!
