If we’re serious about taking on the military industrial complex & cutting the Pentagon budget, we have to expose the military contractors who profit from endless war.

20 years after taking out student loans, the typical white borrower owes about 5% of their debt. The typical Black borrower owes about 95%. Because of the wealth gap & systemic discrimination, Black students go into more debt & have a harder time paying it. #CancelStudentDebt

No one should have to ration life-saving medication due to price, and yet 1/4 diabetic Americans aren’t taking insulin as prescribed because of its skyrocketing cost. Today, on #WorldDiabetesDay, I’m wearing earrings made from old insulin vials to keep the pressure on Big Pharma. pic.twitter.com/BSAMmtt9pM

This #JusticeForAhmaud came from people speaking out & showing up. Remember we went 74 days without an arrest; this was never inevitable. Gratitude to all. To the runners, the #BLM activists, the preachers, the local citizens, all who said that his life mattered. pic.twitter.com/FTHHF4lqxz

I am thinking of #JuliusJones today. And the trial of #AhmaudArberry’s killers. And the wait for the #Rittenhouse verdict. And the racist chicanery that attends them all. It’s all feeling like 1880-1920 those years that Rayford Logan called the “nadir of American race relations.”

Oklahoma plans to execute #JuliusJones on Thursday despite a parole board twice recommending the governor grant him clemency.

Jones says he was framed for a 1999 murder. Legal experts say he did not match witness descriptions, his alibi was ignored and a juror called him a slur. pic.twitter.com/paOi04ZE7q

.@marclamonthill takes a moment to reflect on #JuliusJones, who was scheduled to be executed today and granted #clemency. “They had this man thinking he was going to die, knowing that they were going to commute the sentence the next day. You know how perverse and cruel that is?” pic.twitter.com/DOCQaMihaQ

A seatbelt ticket. A cracked taillight. A broken headlight. These minor offenses resulted in police officers killing unarmed motorists.

These minor offenses resulted in police officers killing unarmed motorists. In case after case, their justification for shooting people at traffic stops who held no weapon: They were driving one. https://t.co/dpf1JLJp5A

The judge in the #AhmaudArbery trial will not change the jury, despite admitting Arbery’s killers’ lawyers used “intentional discrimination” to reject Black jurors.

11 of 12 jurors are white.

Arbery’s aunt called it “another of the injustices that we see here in Glynn County.” pic.twitter.com/63IbDqnqDd
