Today marks 14 years since 17-year-old, unarmed Trayvon Martin was shot and killed while walking home.

14 years later, we’re still demanding a country where our children can walk home in peace β€” without being treated like a threat.

He taught me and so many other children that we are WORTHY. The mantra β€œI am somebody,” kept my head held high and my dreams as wide as the sky. He empowered the beloved community to push for freedom, justice, equality and opportunity- together. May Rev Jesse Jackson #restinpower

ICE reportedly backs down on its threat to patrol the Super Bowl The Department of Homeland Security’s reported reversal comes at a time when more than half of Americans, responding to a Fox News poll, believe ICE is β€˜too aggressive’ in its immigration enforcement ...

Public pressure worked. ICE has backed down on plans to patrol the Super Bowl. Thanks to everyone who raised their voice and refused to stay silent. ✊

Hatred foments violence. I am sorry that anyone thinks this is okay. We should be better than this. Thank you @maxwellfrost.bsky.social for your leadership. Shaken but not deterred. We stand with you. There is more if us that stand for kindness and equality but we must remember to stand together.

The deportation process should not be a death sentence. We must not sweep this under the rug. The family deserves answers. And, we will remain committed to justice for all- not just for some. #wethepeople

Is this America First? Or is this a destruction of everything we used to hold dear? Thank you Minneapolis for standing up without fear or hesitation.#wethepeople

I mourn for this mother, family and a newborn that must grow up without her mom because We choose to ignore the pain and suffer of Black women. Shame on us. #maternalhealth #blackwomen #ourpainmatters

Screenshot of a post by Acyn on X summarizing comments by Representative Dan Goldman. The post states that Goldman criticized the justification for pursuing NicolΓ‘s Maduro on drug trafficking charges, calling it bogus and noting that the Honduran president was recently pardoned for similar offenses. Below the text is a television news still from MSNBC’s The Briefing with Jen Psaki. Dan Goldman appears on screen in a studio or remote setup, wearing a dark jacket and light shirt, speaking directly to the camera. A nighttime city skyline with illuminated buildings is visible behind him. On-screen graphics include a red β€œBreaking News” banner reading β€œMaduro arrives in NY to face drugs and weapons charges,” along with Goldman’s name, title, and MSNBC branding.

The White House would like us to forget this, but we will not.

Good news! There’s still a President that children can look up to and be left alone with if need be. Thank you President @barackobama.bsky.social for serving with compassion and integrity. You continue to inspire and invest in nation’s future. #yeswecan #yeswedid #yeswewill

It’s really disheartening that our nation’s highest Court has said that the rights won by my parents are now denied to their grandchildren. The racial divide is back front and center. #District18 #wethepeople #onepersononevote #SCOTUS #votingrightsact

Say it plain. And make it clear. We are a nation built by immigrants and so many others- un-American or at least not the America where I hope to live. #wethepeople #ourcountry #webelonghere
