While everyone's losing their mind over at the #GRAMMYs right now... I'm reminded of losing my mind over 's interview with her a few years ago.
I intro'd Molly to Brandi's music, and then SHE got to speak to her. RUDE.

There's a lot of talk about how abolition is impractical, abolitionists don't have ideas for what to do about crime right here and now, and about how "police are necessary." So here's a thread with examples of cities implementing non-police responses as we speak. 🧵

If only I’d absorbed Frosty the Snowman’s lessons of impermanence, mindful presence, and the cyclical nature of being as a child. Would’ve saved a lot of time and money

I’m proud to share these 8(?!) new factsheets today.
My community is in desperate need of accurate and affirming representation. The power we have to change minds and to correct a history of stigmatizing misinformation can't be overstated.
It's vital that we get it right.

Good.💪🏽

The massive oil spill off California's coast poured some 126,000 gallons of oil into coastal waters over the weekend, shutting down Huntington Beach and killing wildlife. It's a tragic reminder that offshore drilling is a devastating threat to our coast and its wildlife.

Antelope Valley High School teacher Barron Gardner heard the same thing “over and over and over” from his Black students. They were disciplined by staff & detained by LA County Sheriff’s deputies on campus differently than other kids.
He believed it. But he needed proof. THREAD

Fabulous. Like Uluru and Kakadu before it, the Daintree (which is the oldest rainforest in the world) will be handed back to the Traditional Owners to manage and care for it for future generations. Treaty offers us similar opportunities here in Victoria.

A general platitude in Western society is "be yourself."
But what happens when "being yourself" makes others uncomfortable? What happens when "being yourself" means *being* in direct opposition to the established norms and expectations placed upon you? What then?

Today's inequities are remnants of the violent system this country was founded on. We need anti-racist policy to address the hurt:
➡️ Reparations, HR 40
➡️ Baby Bonds, HR 835
➡️ #PeoplesJusticeGuarantee, HRes 226
➡️ #JobGuarantee, HRes 145
➡️ Anti-Racism in Public Health, HR 666

The timeframe for recovering from disasters is long, and often exceed the lifespan of human compassion and attention. I think it's worth thinking now about people who'll be left behind as the nation heads towards a brighter summer. 3/
