Six years ago today, 26-year-old Breonna Taylor was shot six times and killed by police officers who forced entry into her Louisville, KY apartment. Her death sparked nationwide outrage and calls for an end to police brutality and gun violence against Black people. #SayHerName #BlackLivesMatter
Those 20 academies, all founded in the 1960s and 1970s, brought in more than $20 million from the state in the past three years alone. None reflected the demographics of their communities. Few even came close.
New reporting shows Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla collectively received $51 billion in tax breaks following last year’s corporate tax cuts — paying an effective federal tax rate of just 4.9%.

The most disturbing part is knowing ICE left a little girl alone and didn’t care.
Annabella was six years old when her dad was detained by ICE while he was picking up their food order. She stayed inside, waiting.
He never returned to her that day.

The harsher the laws, the more scared elites are.
Exhibit B: in the 1800s, GA already had a brutal law against Black education. But the leaders of Augusta passed an even more brutal one--penalizing even white landowners if anyone held a clandestine school on their lots.
Agreed. Another teacher spouse, sharing a story of the San Francisco teachers strike. Shouldn’t have been a surprise that parents and student support the teachers.

A generic version is on GoodRx for less than $30 and Mark Cuban's CostPlusDrugs for $16.65.
My almost 105 year old abuelita-in-law is VERY excited for Bad Bunny. She came from the island, and for her entire life, she’s been an American citizen! Voted for FDR! 🇵🇷🇺🇸
With strike looming, SF parents’ loyalties are with teachers — for now sfstandard.com/2026/02/05/p...
Union members said the district has refused to address issues such as special education caseload, class size and health care for educators.
Billionaires profit from locking up immigrants while we fight for our kids. My teacher husband works 8 AM to 7 PM, weekends too, supporting 150 students. The issue isn’t just the district or unions—it’s that our schools get crumbs while our communities are targeted. For SFUSD parents, summary below.

Verge headline: It doesn't matter if Alex Pretty had a gun by Sarah Jeong Photo by Steven Garcia depicts several masked law enforcement agents soaked in red light at night
"Why is it so normal for law enforcement — those who are supposed to be keepers of law and order — to kill Americans? And why is the only question at the end of the day how much their victims deserved to die?"
