Florida is home to the largest Haitian community in the nation. I’m demanding that Rick Scott and Absent Ashley Moody use the influence they claim to have in Washington to push the Senate to pass S. 4814, which would reinstate TPS for Haitians until 2029. #AngieForFlorida

Trauma endures in Paris suburb after police grenade shatters teenager's jaw: 'They maim a student, leave, and then what? How are we supposed to pick up the pieces?'
On September 28, 14-year-old Eden suffered a fractured jaw and lost most of his teeth after he was struck in the face by a tear-gas grenade fired at close range, just a few meters from his high school, where a protest was taking place. Students, teachers and parents spoke of their fear, anger and sense of helplessness.

We Are All Jane Doe For young women, the alleged “Cornell Gang Rape” is not just a nightmare—it’s a danger that is always there "So spare us if we don’t coddle your feelings and forgo adding “#notallmen!”…it’s not about men’s feelings. It’s about our survival:" www.contrariannews.org/p/we-are-all...
She’s not the perfect victim: making her prime for vicious, misogynistic wolves to rip her apart for the approval and entertainment of the patriarchy. But guess what? Rape culture ensures that there will never be a perfect victim, but there will always be victims. It’s a lose-lose situation for women. We either deny our own freedoms or have them denied for us.

A survivor could do everything “right” — fight back, scream No, get DNA under their fingernails, tell an outcry witness of their assault, rush first thing to the hospital without showering for a rape kit, even somehow capture the assault on camera — and the public at large would still find a way to blame her.

what was she wearing? / she shouldn’t have been drinking / but think about his future / it’s not that big of a deal / she’s lying about it for attention / this is just a cash grab / it’s not “rape” if… / she wanted it rough! / well, maybe they’re confused / they just had sex and regretted it

We don’t say any of this to men. From where we stand, most men are free to drink, dance, walk — in fact, some of their best stories are born from belligerence!

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end
