The Oakland City Council unanimously passed a historic resolution calling for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, joining Richmond in this stance to put pressure on Biden, Governor , and other California and Bay Area officials to “take immediate action to use their position and influence to end violence.”

Like the Bay Area, tens of thousands of Angelenos have continuously marched in the streets for weeks demanding a stop to the . The Los Angeles City Council needs to do the same.

The United States, every council in every city, needs to stop embracing the brainwashed programming of Zionism. When we stand for peace and sovereignty for the Palestinian people, that is twisted into accusing us of supporting terrorists and of antisemitism. This is never the case or true. We support all Jewish people around the globe and many Jewish people support a , including and .la. This Zionist programming is by design, enabling Israel to have free rein while violating international law. No accountability. No repercussions for their Apartheid of Palestine. All funded with billions of dollars each year by the United States.

Calling on all LA City council members including my own, , to look to Oakland for guidance. In the meantime, we will continue to put pressure on you all and march for a .

A documentary for this time of self-awareness: : A CHRONICLE OF RACISM IN AMERICA. More than a reckoning, lawyer and former deputy legal director at the , Jeffery Robinson delivers a talk (at Town Hall in New York on Juneteenth 2018), a clear and factual American history lesson on how this country embedded racism into its operating system, including versions of our constitution. Facts every one of us should know by heart by now, but many still don’t. And we know why. The film follows his journeys to historical sites and shares the insights of those affected by today’s American racism and those still in denial who chose to pass on this toxic disease to future generations.

“Who We Are” is playing in theaters and is a perfect film to watch during this week.

❤️❤️❤️ Repost from - The end of an era is near and we think we can all agree, WE AREN’T READY 😩—Insecure has meant a lot of things for many people and even more so to Black .

Over five seasons, the phenomenon has tackled the struggles of finding one’s purpose to reckoning with the ups and downs of love and friendships. Issa Dee (played by Rae) and her homegirls elucidated the intricacies and complexities of Black womanhood through interacting with varying definitions of Blackness. It was messy, cringe at times—but oh so Black.

Most importantly, Insecure was ours.

Happy Truths-Giving Day. Repost from

Happy Truths-Giving everyone!
The Truth is that settlers massacred NE tribes so extensively upon arrival that by the 1970s some Natives in the SW are said to have believed that all of the tribes in the NE were extinct. The truth is this original Thanksgiving meal actually celebrated one of those all too common massacres on a Native village that happened the same day.The truth is in 500 years of genocide they failed to break our spirit.The truth is white settlers didn’t have a chance in hell for survival had it not been for Natives teaching the ancient traditional knowledge.The truth is Thanksgiving is an Indigenous tradition not an American one and it’s not just one day a year, we give thanks to the creator everyday for everything provided to us.

Slate staff writer, Gabrielle Banks, debunks the conspiracy theory spread by the media, including TMZ, that fans passing out and having cardiac arrests at Astroworld was caused by "a mystery assailant wielding a syringe loaded with drugs was injecting people, causing some to unwittingly overdose." That the real cause - crowd surge - is much more terrifying.

"Until October 15 I was a Netflix employee. I’m here today because I’m free. I’m actually able to talk to each of you about what’s been going on here,” said B. Pagels-Minor, a former program manager at Netflix who is transgender, who was fired by Netflix for allegedly “sharing confidential, commercially sensitive information outside the company.”

Mx. Pagels-Minor categorically denies leaking sensitive information to the press. According to an interview with NPR: Pagels-Minor — who started at Netflix as a senior data product manager for membership and finance engineering, before moving on to work at the company's game launch department — says there wasn't any investigation to determine what really happened. "It was just like, 'Hey, you're the person. You're gone.’”

B. was was a leader of both the transgender and Black employee resource groups (ERG) at Netflix and was one of the organizers of .

B., who is 36, “cried profusely” last year when they turned 35. It was a milestone, since so many Black trans people don’t survive to that age. “On November 20th, on Trans Day of Remembrance, two-thirds of that list will be Black trans people who were killed just because of who they are.” B., at 33 weeks pregnant, stated that their stance and action taken was for their child, so they wouldn’t have to face the same challenges in life.

B. then read aloud the demands of ERG Trans*, which includes Content Investment, Employee Relations and Safety, and Harm Reduction. Content Investment will need to include a new fund to specifically develop trans and non-binary talent both above and below the line, which is in addition to the Creative Equity Fund.

A from : Rest in Peace to the victims of the attacks. It’s incredibly important to acknowledge the increased anti-Muslim sentiments that occurred after that day.

Some Muslims were forced to hide their identity. Some even changed their names and clothing to avoid ostracization and harassment.

It’s bittersweet and hard to accept that tonight is the series finale of our beloved . This groundbreaking show hooked us from S1E1, taking a huge array of fans from all corners and backgrounds through the personal journeys of these wonderful characters.

With each episode and season was for many, a learning experience as well as entertainment. These stories have always existed in the real lives of the trans and q***r community, and it was about damn time they made it to the TV screen, since they are and always have been woven into the fabric of our society throughout time.

And child, each episode this last season has been a tearjerker! Happy and sad tears, love and family, and facing one’s own mortality.

Deep gratitude goes out to all that made a reality: the cast, the writers, above the line and below the line, AND the costume design!!

Think about everything that needed to happen to get to this point of finding a cop guilty of murder. This moment needs to set a precedent for the future and if at all possible, for past cases. Breonna Taylor’s killers still walk free. Kim Potter needs to suffer the consequences for her murder of Daunte Wright. The fight isn’t over, it’s only just begun. Blessings and healing to George Floyd’s family and all the families whose sons, daughters, children have been murdered, targeted, and abused by police.

A father. A son. Another Black young man killed by a cop with a gun. A mistake? If a so-called trained police office doesn’t know the difference between a taser and a lethal weapon that person shouldn’t have either or a job. REMOVE police from traffics stops! They’re causing more harm, not enforcing public safety. from - Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old Black man, died after he was shot by a police officer during a traffic stop in the Minneapolis suburb of Brooklyn Center on Sunday. The city is only 10 miles from where George Floyd’s life was taken.

❤️❤️❤️ from - Thank you so much for 50k! When we made this account almost a year ago, our only goal was to take action against the injustice we saw around us. We made the account to share resources that we found helpful in our journey but we had no idea that we would find this community of love and learning. As teenagers, we often feel as if we had no power to create change. But you all give us hope for a better future and made us realize that even though it’s hard, if we work together we can achieve anything. No words can describe how grateful we are for that. Sending you all love, health and safety❤️
