Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Rev. Ralph Abernathy, and other organizers of the Birmingham campaign were arrested #OTD in 1963.

After leading demonstrations against stores with segregation policies, they were charged with defying an injunction barring protests of any kind.

It's pretty clear why COPA does not believe officers' story that they pulled over Dexter Reed for a seatbelt violation. This is zoomed in/captioned POD footage showing them making the stop.

CPD rounded the corner, immediately drove around another car, and cut off Reed's SUV.

Trump went to ATL in his private jet specifically to meet with billionaires in the wealthiest neighborhood in GA to collect huge checks from them. But he stopped at a Chick-fil-A for 10 minutes to get this Fox headline.

P*st pushing lies and copaganda as usual:

🧵While 5 police offers point their firearms at Reed & scream orders, Dexter Reed repeatedly says he's trying to unroll the windows & unlock the doors.

CW: This video does not show police killing Reed, but shows the intense 30 seconds of police barking orders prior to shooting.

Running to first base is so dangerous republicans are going to start using #WhiteSox statistics to demonize Chicago.

We need to put an end to pretextual traffic stops. We need a non police model to manage traffic issues. We need fully funded and implemented Treatment Not Trauma and Peace Book models. We need to care for and protect people’s lives.

Unpopular opinion, but I don’t think think that trans people are the biggest threat to women’s basketball. I’ve been involved in wbb for 15+ years & never had a negative interaction with a trans person. Had plenty of negative interactions with racist & misogynistic people though.

Governor Kathy Hochul has the chance to make prisons call free! which wouldn’t only save Black & Latino women $20 million annually, it’s better for EVERYONE because incarcerated ppl who can communicate w/ their loved ones outside are more likely to successfully reenter society

‘THEY TOOK OUR WEALTH’

On what would have been his 126th birthday, we remember ‘Afro-American’ artist Paul Robeson - with a clip from 1960, in which his wit, intelligence and insights shine through.

First broadcast on Australian TV, he explains to host and audience how their…

Paul Robeson was born on this day in 1898. A committed socialist, he made a point of singing to workers wherever he traveled — here he is reciting 'Joe Hill' to miners in Scotland during a visit in 1949.

Today marks the first official observance of Paul Robeson Day in D.C. We sat down with our comrade Luci Murphy, member of the former Paul Robeson Friendship Society, to discuss the importance of Robeson’s legacy as a fighter for Black liberation, anti-imperialism, and peace.

If you think that most people who participate in NYC rent protests are young millennials/college students, you’re wrong.

It’s a lot of seniors.

Angry about being priced out of NYC/ having to move in with their GenX/millennial children.

1 in 4 homeless ppl in the U.S. are 55+

FLORIDA: Trinity Christian Academy, which takes taxpayer-funded private school vouchers, canceled Autism Awareness Week — their pastor called “demonic” 😳

Schools like this will get public school funds via Gov. Bill Lee’s vouchers in Tennessee also. wptv.com/news/palm-beac…

I know he thinking “It really be your own people”

Survivors of the Tulsa Race Massacre and their descendants should receive reparations for the heinous crimes committed against Black Wall Street (1921). White folks destroyed 35 blocks, burned churches, businesses, + homes, shot people, and dropped bombs. Depriving them 🧵

Donald Trump ordered Republicans to vote against the bill to secure the border because he didn't want Biden to look good.

Trump brags that he sabotaged the bipartisan deal to secure the border: I killed it

Whitmer: Trump torpedoed a deal that would have had the strongest border security in decades in this country. He told Republicans to walk away and they did.
