    Grateful 2 for the platform to discuss why, in the : * implicit bias isn't the friendly cousin of racism * it's structural in nature, not just individual * "goodness" is a practice, not a static state * one can step up by stepping back

    My 3 are watching their Friday movie night pick... My heart is broken 💔 for these kids, their parents, and the should-be safe space they call home. This cannot stand. 💔🇺🇦

    Anticipation of attempts by 🇷🇺 to force its way into Kyiv 🇺🇦 tonight. Children of the city are seeking protection in the subway system.

    Journalists, stop calling the failure to pass the voting rights bill a “major setback” for Democrats. It is a major setback for DEMOCRACY. The right to vote is not a partisan issue. Stop framing it as such and legitimizing anti-voter efforts.

    This entire thread! 🧵 All of it....

    I was invited to give an MLK speech today and a small number of members of the group hosting me wrote and then leaked emails opposing my giving this speech, as it dishonored Dr. King for me to do so. They called me a "discredited activist" "unworthy of such association with King"

    When the pandemic started I didn’t own a pair of sweats or joggers. Now I’m wearing sweats with rain boots in public. And that’s ok.

    As a first generation college student, bell hooks was the first writer I encountered via academia whose work I was able to enthusiastically discuss with friends and fam *outside* academia. My mom and I read bell hooks together. I’ll always cherish the way her work bridged shores.

    This piece by is as powerful as it is courageous. I don't know how you could make a stronger case that banning abortion conscripts women's bodies. "I Was Raped by My Father. An Abortion Saved My Life."
