When I saw the disgusting "trump Gaza" video this morning, the bile rose to my throat. I won't share it. Instead, help me promote this counter narrative by Tala, from Gaza. "Gaza is not yours to take. Gaza is ours, and we are still here. This is our land." BRAVO to her strength and DEFIANCE. 🥹💪

Learning, healing, organizing.✊🏿 Dr. Bettina Love & Dr. David Stovall laid out the blueprint for how we fight back against the harm done to Black children. A packed house proved our movement is powerful and growing. We’re ready to turn knowledge into power.

"We have seen Governor Pritzker lead during Covid. We have seen him lead on criminal justice reform. We know what it looks like when the governor provides leadership on pressing issues. The people of Illinois need to see that same leadership for its children." abc7.ws/3Quis3t

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Resistance is Fertile!

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish. Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part. Who’s with me?
