The story of our nation is incomplete without the ongoing work of liberation. This Freedom Day, let us honor our ancestors through joy, action, organizing, and reparative policies that bring us closer to freedom. Happy Juneteenth, family!

For all those still feeling the moon joy—Artemis II was brought to you by public schools and publicly funded science. Copy that! 👩‍🚀🚀💕 *All four astronauts went to public schools!

Black text on white background 
“Happy Easter, New York! 

Today, millions of New Yorkers celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the victory of hope over despair and faith over fear. 
As the air warms and cherry blossoms begin to bloom, this holy day is a sacred time to pause and reflect on a season of rebirth.
Whether you spend this day singing in pews, parading on Fifth Avenue, joining a processional guided by the bamboo trumpets of Haitian Rara music, or hunting for painted eggs amidst the spring grass, I wish every New Yorker celebrating a joyous day. 

Let us all embrace this holiday's spirit of hope and renewal as we build the City — and the world — that we deserve.”

As a mom of twins, I am thrilled for #michaelbjordan who was awarded for his compelling portrayal. He showed heart, empathy and intrigue in each role. A brothers bond stands the test of time. #oscars #BestActor

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 — without being treated like a threat.

He taught me and so many other children that we are WORTHY. The mantra “I 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

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. ✊

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 ‘too aggressive’ in its immigration enforcement ...

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

The White House would like us to forget this, but we will not.
Screenshot of a post by Acyn on X summarizing comments by Representative Dan Goldman. The post states that Goldman criticized the justification for pursuing Nicolás 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 “Breaking News” banner reading “Maduro arrives in NY to face drugs and weapons charges,” along with Goldman’s name, title, and MSNBC branding.

FACTS: 86% of all SNAP benefits go to households that include a child, an elderly person, or a person with disabilities And, almost 40% of SNAP recipients are children. SNAP feeds America. In the land of plenty, no one should go hungry. #saveSNAP #feedveterans #feedchildren #usetheemergencyfund
