Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus * @DrTedros Global military expenditure just hit $2.7 trillion - in a single year. According to @UN estimates, ending world hunger by 2030 would require $93 billion annually. That means we spend almost 30 times more every year on killing each other than on making sure everyone eats. Numbers don't lie. Our priorities do.
Dr. Tedros is Director of the World Health Organization
Workers and families have become increasingly affected by ICE abductions. We do not have renters right in Arkansas and no aid in place to assist outside of mutual aid like this.
Reminiscing of Travels past as I prepare for travels later this year. Past me is excited for current me excited for future me. We are quite the trio.

Platonic Valentines are the best Valentines. The little things just bring all the Squuees . Life is short. Treat your friends like lovers because they are.
Post mid life joys . Transition looks good on me
The best Valentine's gift we can possibly give one another is resources and support outside of the system that suppresses us. You are not alone and deserve non- treating support

During this time of fascism, please commit these numbers to your phones and memory. We don't need police to show up right now when we are at our worst times. We can't use a system that is oppressing and hurting us even more 💜
Let's not even give her THAT honor
THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos.
I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.
Post a bird to support @sbworkersunited.org and warn your followers not to buy Starbucks for the duration of the ULP strike.
While workers in 40+ cities began their ULP strike today, union baristas are also holding Red Cup Rallies in 17 cities!
Here's a glimpse from Pittsburgh, where Starbucks customers are demanding the company stop union-busting and finalize fair contracts! #NoContractNoCoffee

Today, Starbucks workers in 40+ cities began a historic ULP strike. But we’re NOT finished.
We're prepared to escalate with more stores striking if we don’t see substantial progress toward finalizing contracts that address pay, hours/staffing, and the resolution of 100s of ULPs.
It’s almost time. nocontractnocoffee.org
I'm back. Not going anywhere and We believe victims , Fuck ICE and white supremacists , homophobic and transphobics. If either of these stirs something up in you and you can't relate you have not been listening. There is no tolerance for that here.
THIS IS IMPORTANT. SPREAD THE WORD!! IF YOU ARE CONCERNED WITH FOOD STAMPS BEING TERMINATED WATCH THIS. ‼️‼️
Outsider I take comfort in
Out of survival
That which Tainted -I didn't lose
Though saved myself
A new life- the world open
The pain comes now only in the silence
Community hushed blinded by pretty bombs
I -A target easy at first glance
The genuine see- and there I find home-one day at a time
welcome, friend!

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.
Tell that to all the people they murdered
Today marks five years since George Floyd was killed by police. Our June 22, 2020 cover “Say Their Names,” by Kadir Nelson, illustrated how Floyd’s murder embodies the history of violence inflicted upon Black people in America. nyer.cm/UmfefJw

Self Portrait: Moving Past The Shadows
Delighting in silhouettes of the past
What has made me
Declared Me
Picking up the pieces that
Stifled
Pieces that cut and gave me pause
Dancing on - Self unwavering
Silhouettes appreciated
The day in new
Woot!!
I love this analogy🫰
"Self Portrait": How Uneasy Yet Peaceful it is To be Green
Breaking patterns and back to my roots -now grey in parts. It's a joy along with sadness. Fresh starts and acknowledged dirty parts.
Owning
Dismantling and putting back- together
Back to woods resembling my roots, I find myself green..
