This was in fact a long read but a really good one. I want to highlight some parts I thought were particularly important in regards to our culture of rape & men's support of & participation in it. (Men are helpfully in my mentions providing exhibits.)

The baby formula at Walmart is locked behind a glass door with electronic lock, which was broken and no employee could fix. Meaning, I can *see* the food for my child, but cannot get to it. This country’s absolute disdain for poor people knows no bounds and harms us all. @hmcghee

Amazon is worth $2 trillion. But it didn't deign to pay the millions of dollars it racked up in unpaid fines as its’ trucks illegally polluted our air and forced New Yorkers to breathe in their exhaust.
We collected every dollar they owe the people of this city — and will continue to hold them accountable. In New York, corporations are held to the same standard as everyone else.
No company — no matter how large or powerful — is above the law.
ALT An AMNY headline with a photo of Mayor Mamdani reads: Mamdani administration says it recovered more than $9M in Amazon idling fines.

Mamdani closed a $12B deficit in 132 days, fixed 100K+ potholes, secured millions for gig workers, fined corrupt landlords millions, raised snow workers to $30/hr, and violent crime hit historic lows.
THIS IS WHAT A LEADER DOES!!

At our city-owned grocery stores, staples like eggs and bread will actually be affordable.
And we're going to do it the right way, without cutting workers' pay or dignity.
Because in the wealthiest city in this country, buying groceries shouldn't be an unsolvable equation.
It should be simple, fair, and within reach for everyone.

During yesterday's House session, Rep. Cherie Cruz introduced a resolution congratulating the Rhode Island Hip Hop Hall of Fame on its inaugural ceremony, which was held on March 8, and honoring its inductees: webserver.rilegislature.gov/…

Yesterday, the House Corporations Committee heard testimony on legislation sponsored by Rep. Cherie Cruz (@ConcernedRIer) that would ensure that veterinarians provide crucial medication information to pet owners.
Rep. Cruz refers to the bill as “Bella’s Law,” named after Bella, a service dog owned by the Dufault family of Pawtucket who lost her life due to complications resulting from medication prescribed by a veterinarian.
“This bill simply requires veterinarians to provide a client information sheet about the medications they are prescribing, including side effects, so families can make informed decisions on what their pet is taking, what are potential side effects and how to respond if a side effect occurs. I knew Bella, she was like Benji, and she was a complete sweetheart. I witnessed firsthand this devastating loss to the Dufault family and the damage this medication caused without any warning to Bella’s family. If Bella’s Law were in place, I truly believe Bella would still be here with us today,” said Rep. Cruz (D-Dist. 58, Pawtucket).

Jesse Jackson’s legacy of love, light and the fight lives on forever. So many of us are standing on the shoulders of so many who taught us we are more than our circumstance, no matter what. I am, you are somebody!
Rest in power and peace Jesse Jackson ❤️💪🏼
