A graphic in pink, blue, and green that illustrates how recent many Black History events are to the current day -- ranging from 1619 to 2024.

I'm sure we've all seen the graphic that lays out the United States ' relationship with slavery. It's good, but I never thought it was quite impactful enough. So I made my own.

I've used a few key events, including my birth, to highlight how recent these events are in history.

1 square = 1 year.

Police don’t wear masks. State troopers don’t wear masks. The National Guard doesn’t wear masks. But you know who does?

White supremacists, militia groups, insurrectionists, and ICE.

Brilliant thread. We get stuck in our egocentric framework and forget that there are other possibilities. I love Star Trek. I love this thread. Hugs!

With all restrictive politics flying around lately, it made me wonder…when will we tighten up truth-in-advertising laws?

Arlington Cowboys?
Arlington Rangers?
Soon-to-be Plano Stars?

If the SAVE Act can be used to β€œensure the truth”, surly we do the same with billionaires…right?

Argh.

Medicare For All won’t work (unless we change the Constitution.)

HSA’s for All is a much better approach.

My professor said β€˜Black people are not interested in the environment’. I set out to prove him wrong Environmental sociologist Dorceta Taylor has helped her field to be more welcoming to researchers of colour.

It’s odd that the religious right is so upset about a halftime show that celebrated marriage, love, community, small business, hard work, and family. πŸ€”

The only thing missing from Bad Bunny’s Superbowl halftime show? A check for $30 billion to overhaul OUR electricity grid in Puerto Rico.

Well done, Benito!

Hillary Clinton warned everyone.

I’ll never regret voting for them.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

VP Harris LITERALLY told us this would happen.

I’m beside myself.

But I refuse to be reactive.

There’s a procedure for situations like this.

C’mon Americans. Get your shit together.

It’s clear we need a national curriculum on how to confront and depower bullies.

Markwayne Mullen sits at a congressional hearing desk

Sen. Markwayne Mullin bought up to $50K each in Raytheon stock (RTX) & Chevron (CVX) just days before the U.S. strike on Venezuelaβ€”

Mullin sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee β€” I’m sure it’s just a coincidence..

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.
