Defunding the police sounds radical until you realize realize we’ve been defunding education for years.

Drew Brees couldn't even directly say he understood why Colin protested injustice nor that he understood the anger of many black americans. He just talked about what the flag means to him.
But he posted a black box on instagram like he did somethin. That's the issue.
Highlight: @readdanwrite asks @drewbrees what the star NFL quarterback thinks about "players kneeling again when the NFL season starts."
@drewbrees: “I will never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States of America or our country.”

Sixty years ago today, the Greensboro Four stood up to injustice by sitting down at a lunch counter. Our journey is full of such stories; of acts of patriotic protest that challenge this country we love to live up to our highest ideals, however long it takes. #BlackHistoryMonth

Serena was asked what she thinks of #USOpen not having Carlos Ramos umpire her matches here this year.
“I don’t know who that is.”

Juneteenth isn’t just about celebrating the end of slavery in Texas. It’s a necessary reminder that 154 years later, Black Americans still feel the harsh reality that the fight for racial equality in our country is far from over. I’m in that fight all the way.

Imagine how much more advanced society would be today if women, who comprise half the world’s brain power, were socially & intellectually enfranchised from the beginning of civilization.

If the NFL thing was about the flag & anthem, you’d be outraged when Trump doesn’t hold a hand over his heart & botches the words. If it was about troops, you’d be as pissed about Niger as about Benghazi. It’s not principle. It’s about control of brown bodies. Stop the bullshit.

All of the net jail growth in the last 20 years is PRETRIAL. Daily reminder that we have expanded the PIC at an astronomical rate by caging ppl who have been convicted of NOTHING. #FreeThemAll xitter.cf/bkbailfund/status/9740…
New "whole pie" report by @PrisonPolicy shows that pretrial detention is responsible for ALL OF THE NET JAIL GROWTH in the last 20 years.
Just one more piece of data (as if we didn't have enough already) to support the fight to #EndPretrialDetention ow.ly/AZkt30iX0OT

There are some incredible community bail funds working to free people in jail who can’t afford to pay bail & who are working to end the unjust practice of money bail at large. You should consider donating to them today. Here’s a thread with their information:
