Title page of Walker's Appeal, in Four Articles; Together with a Preamble, to the Coloured Citizens of the World, but in Particular, and Very Expressly, to Those of the United States of America, Written in Boston, State of Massachusetts, September 28, 1829

Title page of Walker's Appeal, in Four Articles; Together with a Preamble, to the Coloured Citizens of the World, but in Particular, and Very Expressly, to Those of the United States of America, Written in Boston, State of Massachusetts, September 28, 1829

In 1829 David Walker, son of an enslaved man & a free Black woman in NC, published an Appeal reminding readers of their natural rights, inherent equality, & political duty to reject despotism. Distributed via southern ports by white agents, Black seamen, & sewn into the clothing that Walker vended.

On this day Aug 4, 1944: Anne Frank was arrested after 2 years in hiding.

Not by monsters in uniforms but by neighbors.

Today, governors threaten political enemies with removal.
ICE raids target families.
LGBTQ+ people are banned from bookshelves.

Never again means nothing if you stay silent.

I want a law that requires news and social media to run a ticker tape across the screen every time the show or discuss a politician that lists that politician's funding sources! #resist @democrats.org

Repeat. The People's House does NOT need a ballroom. The people need government to work for them, not for the few. #resist

Anyone else not surprised that southern slave states are uniquely poised to create detention centers for immigrants, especially immigrants of color.

Will everyone quit and roll over? The law firms, media companies, universities, government employees. Will you all cling to what you have and hope you can just ride it out, Republic be damned? Shame on all of you who don’t stand up, just remember we will never forget.

With news that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down due to Trump’s meddling, it’s worth watching Mr. Rogers testifying to the Senate about the real value of what we’ve all lost.

Stop referring to Maxwell as Epstein's girlfriend. She was his his business partner, she was his recruiter, she was an abuser.

It's mind blowing that the DOJ, by the direction of Trump, made such a quick and adamant effort to interview The Perpetrator ...
But NOT THE VICTIMS.

They even gave her immunity, despite that she was charged with two counts of perjury in the past.

🌸Just believe the victims🌸

Two weeks ago, the Trump admin announced they were going to destroy almost 500 metric tons of US-taxpayer-funded emergency food for people at risk of starvation around the world. And they want to do the same with $10 million worth of birth control. Vile.

Child welfare rests on the socioeconomic line. If this had been a poor family, there would be reports and the daughter possibly removed from the home. But rich people are above scrutiny.
