Hi Bluesky! My name is Gabrielle A. Perry, MPH.

I am an epidemiologist specializing in infectious diseases, a feminist writer (soon to be author), and founder of The Thurman Perry Foundation.

I eat, sleep, & breathe helping women and girls. And I talk all things books, feminism, & incarceration!

While Israelis celebrated the return of captives from Gaza, Israel warned Palestinian families against holding celebrations over the return of prisoners – some who had been held for decades. Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh explains.

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!!

The University of Texas-Austin is beginning a process to eliminate the Black Studies, Latino Studies, and Gender Studies departments in the College of Liberal Arts. This is a grave threat to the educational liberty of students, faculty, staff, and the people of Texas. 1/

I investigated the details of a fund I had invested in through a long ago job & was so disgusted I closed the account to donate all of the profits to refugee & immigrant charities.

“The first sign went up along the river in 2007. In 2008, it was stolen. Eight years later, its replacement was riddled with bullet holes in multiple acts of vandalism. And last month, the third sign was put up near the river. Only 35 days went by before it was shot up.”

Emmett Till’s memorial sign was riddled with bullet holes. 35 days after being replaced, it was shot up again | CNN

It’s the third sign to go up at the site outside Glendora, Mississippi, near where the 14-year-old’s body was pulled from the Tallahatchie River in 1955.

Extinguishing MLK's Eternal Flame is both outrageous and a hell of a metaphor for right now www.wsbtv.com/news/local/a...

Eternal flame at Martin Luther King Jr.’s Atlanta burial site destroyed

Police say the man also urinated in the reflective pool.

I have a 401K through my job as most of us do and I was curious as to how it was doing and it has EXPLODED in value in months. And I realized I never looked at the actual details of the fund. Just the fund itself.

Half of my 401K is invested in BlackRock real estate and index funds. Smh

It's absolutely no coincidence that the move right now is to impoverish as many people as possible (forcing us into low-pay/survival work) while ALSO pushing AI to replace us all.

After all, they're ALREADY legislating rights away from AI, y'know, just in case: www.pcmag.com/news/ohio-la...

Immigrants are people . They want slaves . And when AI bursts they are going to try an apply slave restrictions to people

It’s what « the future of work » space avoids

Yall are VISCERALLY INSULTED that anyone would even QUESTION Kamala Harris. When yall get a new mascot, you’ll fall in line for them too

100% agreed. I'm furious at these billionaires and bribed politicians that got us here in the first place, and the cowards during the us civil war that refused to finish the job. The changes needed are systemic level, not a mascot change and change of theme colors.

What y’all gonna do when the next Democrat gets into office and starts stealing from the Treasury and insider trading openly and doesn’t bring back any of what we’ve lost?

Shrug your shoulders and say “well at least they arent Trump?”

I hate yall.

Everyday I remember that people who said in the BEGINNING that cryptocurrency and NFTs were scams and Ponzi schemes were called haters and idiots.

And now Trump just scammed another $192 MILLION for ONE person because he’s using Truth Social for insider trading and has HANDICAPPED the SEC.

President Trump tells reporters aboard Air Force One that he doesn’t think he’s going to get into heaven.

“I don’t think there’s anything that’s going to get me into heaven.”

(I isolated Trump’s voice)
