Violence against women is a disease normalized in society, politics, business, & hip hop. Drake’s lyrics are irresponsible, dangerous & why our culture kills us & each other.
Drake don’t be a puppet for white supremacy which destroys Black women & families. Clown shit for real

I need to go to Bravocon next year! This legend’s ball is everything
My father missed my brother’s birth because he was arrested on marijuana charges - sat in a jail for almost a year!
I have some issues I’m ready to raise!

Now let’s deschedule cannabis and make the industry more accessible!
No reason a cannabis permit should be upwards of $25,000!
Finally, our federal system is recognizing the harm marijuana convictions have had on people and communities for generations, and is attempting to rectify that harm.

Much to be said about a Black queer woman receiving 9 years in Russia as part of some political play. So heartbreaking 💔

I genuinely want to know what causes someone to wake up and unload dozens of rounds of bullets on complete strangers. On anyone.
You can’t convince me it’s mental illness.
It’s something beyond that and access to guns is a catalyst for whatever it is.

Poor and middle income people are leaving the state in droves, often for Republican states without access to abortion care.
California isn't a safe haven for women unless it's affordable for them.
Quote Tweet
Abortion is legal in California.
It will remain that way.
I just signed a bill that makes our state a safe haven for women across the nation.
We will not cooperate with any states that attempt to prosecute women or doctors for receiving or providing reproductive care.

With Juneteenth approaching, it’s a good time to discuss change. It’s not hyperbole to say the prison industrial complex is modern day slavery. The 13th amendment abolished slavery and involuntary servitude EXCEPT for those convicted of a crime. It’s time to end the exception

I just finished reading Octavia Butler’s ‘Parable of the Sower’ and wanted to share this question posed to her in the reading guide about what she envisioned for 2024 and beyond. she was truly prophetic. so mad we didn’t listen to her when this book was first published in 1993

At the beginning of this pandemic I heard everyone would be personally impacted by the loss of a loved one.
Covid is killing us.
Racism is killing us.
Ignorance is killing us.

No matter how you try and spin it this is inhumane. Grieving, reporting and simply wanting to live a peaceful life where your roots are should be protected and allowed in every corner of this world.

Israeli police stormed the home of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in occupied East Jerusalem as family mourned her — ordering them to take down Palestinian flags and stop playing "nationalist music."
Israeli soldiers killed Abu Akleh during raids on a Palestinian refugee camp.

Rich people will survive illegal abortions performed in doctors offices.
Poor people will die from illegal abortions performed in back alleys.
Stating the obvious. But fvck. The implications are astounding.

Sending love to anyone who is silently or outrightly dealing with an abortion 🤎
Also sending love to anyone who is thinking about getting an abortion while processing this news 🤎
Sending love to anyone who could get an abortion even if they’ve never been pregnant 🤎

People elected Democrats precisely so we could lead in perilous moments like these- to codify Roe, hold corruption accountable, & have a President who uses his legal authority to break through Congressional gridlock on items from student debt to climate.
It’s high time we do it.

It’s almost like housing isn’t a human right.
If we focused on reliable and affordable housing that survived through the economy over decades, I think we might have a solution - regardless of where people decide to live

Remote work isn't creating homelessness, a lack of housing is.
This is the most dishonest framing of the housing crisis I've ever seen.

Let's be blunt.
We’ve got people behind bars while others make millions in the cannabis industry. On 4/20, we need to pardon all cannabis convictions, wipe marijuana debt, free anyone currently incarcerated for it and LEGALIZE marijuana.

Please understand that over 1,000 cops were added to the subway system in the past couple months, meaning there are over 3,500 subway cops in NYC. And this tragedy still happened. We desperately need to think beyond police when it comes to public safety.

Largest police force in the country and they can’t find someone who shot up a train at 8:30am. But they did spend all month removing and arresting homeless people from the trains.
