“Black” is being flagged as a potentially prohibited word violating anti-DEI law at multiple Florida Universities. My interview this week with @grundrza.bsky.social documents his event being flagged because the flyer said “Black.” Racial authoritarianism is here, it’s just unequally distributed.

FAMU can't use the word Black on anything posted around campus related to Black History Month, to stay in compliance with Florida state laws against DEI. Black students can't use the word Black at their Historically Black College during Black History Month.

Okay wait. So we're staying at my mother's HS best friends house down here. She is also 70. She lives with a man that she HATES. She has liquor and snacks hidden all over the house. And things are hidden in places that you only find if you do chores. I am SCREAMING 😭

As always, the real money in a gold rush is selling shovels.

Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD) says he was uninvited from a bipartisan White House dinner for governors "As the nation’s only Black governor, I can’t ignore that being singled out for exclusion from this bipartisan tradition carries an added weight — whether that was the intent or not"

huh

I get it. I really do. But, “We colonized here first!” isn’t . . . nvm.

I bought a red dress in Bangkok (during the last go round) that I’ve been saving for the occasion.

If IT happens today ARE YOU PREPARED? Do you have a list of people to contact? Do you have a place to celebrate? A day time place, a night time place What are you going to eat what are you going to drink do you have enough for everyone Plan now bc you won’t be thinking clearly when it happens

Mehdi Hasan calls Gaza "the single biggest progressive issue of our time." And yet, as soon as Trump won the 2024 election him and most of the other big leftist social media accounts moved on to other things.

I Thought Freedom Would Set Me Free (And You Gave Me A Song), 2020, by African American artist Arcmanoro Niles (born in 1989) Oil, acrylic, and glitter on canvas 178 x 128 cm #art #painting #artist #BlueSkyArt

Suck on that, Lane Kiffin.

The inability to read, listen, or engage with context has really permeated media criticism. People are reviewing art in major outlets who are functionally illiterate.

I haven’t been this disinterested in a Super Bowl in a long time

We are in dark times.

part of me still can't believe the East Wing was completely destroyed and there have been no negative consequences or reports on whether items inside were properly archived or not

When Republicans do it / When Democrats do it

Middle Seat is a funny name for a progressive PAC.

David Hogg's "progress" is convincing people to spend money and resources helping Republicans retain majorities And for that, he pays himself over $10k a month from the PAC that he runs.

My home village is so gd stupid. Y'all voted for this shit!

One thing that has been consistent on this site since the early days is folks being weird to Black people, so it tracks. Rudy's BEEN pushing this protocol and website forward since day one.

The NFL, the most popular sport in the United States, began this season with six Black head coaches of its 32 franchises. It is now down to three, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Todd Bowles, the Houston Texans DeMeco Ryans and the New York Jets’ Aaron Glenn.

New: Trump's administration tonight told a Boston judge that his proposal that it issue a student visa to a Babson College student it deported to Honduras in violation of a court order is "unfeasible" and said ICE declines to facilitate her return. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

I am telling you as a Black woman clinician, it is NOT a mental illness. It's a horrible learned behavior. White supremacy is a learned behavior. Once y'all start associating it with a mental illness all it's going to do is give these fckers justification to say they have 0 control themselves.

“How come you are never here to protect my safety, but when I’m protesting you are here” -On The Media episode this week discussing San Juan Police they said a quote that fits MPD to a tee. overcast.fm/+ABH_DYBS3yo

Cancun Ted over here argued that “partisanship is inherent and permissible in the districting process” in an amicus brief he filed with the Supreme Court in the Texas redistricting case last September. www.cornyn.senate.gov/wp-content/u...

trump creating the incentive and permission structure for democrats to do insane 2010-era gerrymandering of their own may turn out to be one of the biggest self-owns of all time. dems are now pretty likely to emerge with an advantage from the 2025-26 redistricting wars

I can not believe the Mizzou football team’s boycott was a decade ago. I’d love to hear what some of those kids are up to today.

The Big Lie was always a racist project Trump's racist video had two parts: a Big Lie rehash and a Jim Crow cartoon. They’re not separate stories. www.allrisenews.com/p/big-lie-ra...

Lithuanian Olympic uniforms by Issey Miyake for the 1992 games in Barcelona. This was Lithuania's first time in the Olympics after gaining independence from the Soviet Union. Fabric was cut and shaped using heat, not scissors or sewing machines.

Racism isn’t a function of judgment. It’s a function of character - and, intelligence.

Trump signs executive order threatening tariffs for countries trading with Iran

It’s a trip how the media treats Trump’s derangement as almost exculpatory, like, we should discount what he says because he’s a just some wacky old man, when they all but hounded Biden out of office

Now, see how stupid everyone who even bothered to launder the “staffer” lie looks.

Knowing that if we could choose to be any other race, we would still want to be Black

the "abolish the two party system" bit is kinda dumb tho it's not law or anything it's just like math the rest of his post is good though
