There are 192 million guns in the US. Some belong to Black gangbangers & thugs who shoot Black people in the face & go to prison Some belong to white cops & racists & “troubled teens” & upstanding 85-yr-olds who shoot Black ppl in the face… And go to bed That’s the difference

I just heard about a proposal to fill staff shortages with unqualified teachers, and I’d like to amend it to suggest we begin with unqualified dentists, nurses, oncologists, and heart surgeons, because if we put unqualified teachers in classrooms we’ll wind up there anyway.

These stories out of Highland Park about kids knowing exactly what to do when the shooting began, and guiding parents based on their active shooting drills, embody the burden of violence this next generation of kids endure because of the inaction of their elders

Let's be clear, wealthy women will always have access to whatever doctors, medicines and procedures that they want. Ending Roe is an attack on the autonomy of poor and working class women.

A reminder that the same lawmakers who say gun laws won't stop gun violence believe abortion laws will stop abortion. #RoeVWade

Even the statement, “Let’s invite more Black people to the table,” implies ownership of the table and control of who is invited. Racism is about power. ~ @BerniceKing

How come it's always "if you can't pay your bills, get a better job" but never "if you can't find workers, pay a better salary"

From here on out, let’s reserve the term pro-life for those politicians who actually care about preventing kids from catching a deadly virus and being shot in their classrooms.
