“What happened in D.C. was horrible. But let’s not punish an entire faith for the actions of 1 person. @SenTuberville’s bill is Islamophobic. Let’s stop this.”

NASHVILLE councilwoman Zulfat Suara says questioning the loyalty of 🇺🇸 Muslims is wrong.

If all.the people from “third world countries” are banned from migrating to America because of a deadly shooting, what are we going to do about all the armed young white men?

#tdih 1955 Rosa Parks attended a mass meeting about the Emmett Till case. 💔

Four days later she refused to give up her seat on the bus.

Montgomery Bus Boycott was not just about bus segregation, but also the injustice in criminal justice system & much more. ⬇️

"The Underground Railroad was not so much aimed at 'helping' fugitives escape as it was a movement to learn from & amplify the work fugitives were already doing to free themselves." by Jesse Olsavsky in @hammerandhope.bsky.social

For anyone teaching U.S. history ⬇️

The Black People Who Fled Slavery Had a Lot to Teach Their Northern Allies
Black-led vigilance committees not only protected and aided fugitives but also learned from the formerly enslaved as they built a movement pedagogy together.

There must be zero tolerance for violence — of any kind — against the brave men and women in uniform who selflessly serve our communities and our country. The shooting of National Guard members in Washington, D.C. is horrific and unacceptable.
