Begs the question: why does #elonmusk have federal contracts for agencies that handle our debris defense and space programs??? Particularly given how erratic and dangerous he is…
Madness… the racism isn’t even hidden anymore… . Repost from @abolitionheritage • What happens when the @gop allows bigotry a seat at the table. 🇺🇸
#jdvance is an admitted liar. The #haitian American community should file a class action lawsuit against him for defamation.
Fair question. . Repost from @noliewithbtc • This
This is a sick man, y’all. Why is anyone voting for him? And to be clear: he is signaling to his #maga hoarde to attack her. This is #stochasticterrorism … it’s not a joke.
Today is #womensequalityday when we commemorate ratification of the 19th Amendment to the constitution granting women the right to vote. The story though is more complicated… Twenty-two women from @dstinc1913 were among the Black women who sought to join the landmark 1913 suffrage parade in Washington D.C. organized by leading suffragists Alice Paul and Lucy Burns for the National American Womam Suffrage Association (NAWSA). Instead of being welcomed, the Black suffragists were told they would have to match at the back of the procession in segregation. They refused. And while all of the 250,000 or so women who joined the march faced jeers and catcalls from men who stood along the road, the Black women also faced savage beatings, including from some women marchers. The violence was so pronounced and unimpeded by DC police that congressional hearings were later held to get to the bottom of it. In addition, there was controversy over the announced inclusion of Dawn Mist, “the beautiful daughter of Chief Three Bears of the Glacier Park Indians,” who supposedly would ride through the procession on horseback in a buckskin dress along with other representatives of “the wildest type of womanhood” side by side with white women of the finest class. Turns out, Dawn Mist was fictional, and an invention of the public relations office of The Great Northern Railroad, who hired at least three native actresses to portray her. (Source: National Parks Service) Despite all of this the march did happen, and eventually the Susan B Anthony suffragw and the 19th Amendment were passed by Congress and ratified on August 18, 1920 granting women the right to vote, though Black women would have to wait until the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to see the amendment implemented for them nationwide. The right to vote is precious and recent for so many of us. We really ought to use it. Slides from @whenweallvote Find out how to register at @votedotorg #vote2024 #vote

Vice President Kamala Harris is now officially the Democratic nominee for president. Her message for what comes next? To take this momentum forward to November and win. This follows a convention for the ages, where VP Harris showed herself to be all things: she came across as strong, presidential and ready to go as commander-in-chief, but also funny, warm, accessable and ready for this moment.

But for the grace of God go we… #venezuela #democracy #elections #maduro . Repost from @washingtonpost • At least 120 minors to have been imprisoned by the security forces of President Nicolás Maduro since the autocratic socialist claimed reelection last month, according to multiple human rights organizations. The children are among more than 1,600 people to have been arrested — rounded up at or near protests or taken from their homes in the night — in many cases without warrants. Their lawyers also have been targeted. “Security forces are detaining people at a speed we had not seen in Venezuela’s recent history, even during the brutal repression in 2014 and 2017,” said Juanita Goebertus, Americas director for Human Rights Watch. All of the children, human rights lawyers say, have been charged with terrorism. More than 100 are still in custody. Read more at the link in our bio.
