Immigrants are the NUMBER ONE resource of this nation and ALWAYS HAVE BEEN. PERIOD.

My dystopian nightmare is that in the not-too-distant future hordes of white people will be waving flags at parades celebrating the triumphs of ICE goons, chanting and swooning and wearing stupid red hats.

It's here! I made a 2026 calendar of my photos just for you! Thank you all so much for supporting my art. I've picked some of my best work to share with you while you make your way through the next year. www.leciamichellephotography.com/2026calendar

“There are so many ways of being despicable it quite makes one’s head spin. But the way to be really despicable is to be contemptuous of other people’s pain.” — James Baldwin

The relevance of some books only grows.

Nostalgia is a current wound waiting to be revealed.

White people, one of the most racist responses you can have to a Black person pointing out some racism is "convince me." Y'all are not in a position to decide whether racism exists or not. Stop calling us "angry" and accusing us of lying when we share the knowledge we have gained from facing racism.

Sometimes I think about what problems could be solved by all the wealth being hoarded. I think about what could be done for the children of the globe, the animals, land, water & for the FUTURE, if just a few greedy men wanted to HELP. There’s no way to accept the evil choices they make.

The GOP is annoyed by poor people who need a little help.

Hundreds of people have vanished from ICE's system at the Everglades internment camp. Families don't know where their loved ones are. This isn't deportation, it's kidnapping. That's why I introduced the SUDEM Act to hold ICE accountable and make this info public.

#USDemocracy The Trumplings are pissing themselves because Bad Bunny doesn’t hablar Inglés. But MAGA can’t read English that’s why they make up their own definitions. Woke, CRT, DEI, Peace, ANTIFA, Democracy, Liberty, Christianity,

On our daily walks, Gracie, Daisy, and I might encounter Central Americans playing soccer in the park, South Asians on the tennis courts, or a gay couple jogging by. We don’t concern ourselves with citizenship, language, or others’ relationships. We find comfort in the freedom of diversity.

Through her creative platform, Saint Heron, Solange has launched The Saint Heron Library, a digital archive dedicated to making rare and out-of-print works by Black authors, poets, and artists accessible to all. 🔗 library.saintheron.com

Took a vaccine this evening and then made a purchase. Feels kinda antifascist.

I was having a conversation, and I wanted to reference The Nutcracker, but Cracker Barrel was all I could come up with.

If it’s true that only the good die young, he’s not going anywhere soon.

Brian Kilmeade offers a master class how not to offer an apology.

I used to credit him simply for being the stupidest person on Fox, which (a) he is, and (b) is quite an accomplishment, but (c) this is really kicking it up a notch.

If your instinct is to say "We should all fight this because it could happen to any of us," that's true, but it's not all. Let's get this through our collective heads ASAP: it shouldn't happen to anyone. You don't have to be scared for yourself to be mad at this.

If you agree with the concept of inheritance but don’t support Reparations, your racism is the only logical explanation for the disconnect. Take all the time you need with this.

There is no moral justification for today’s extraordinary concentration of wealth. It is distorting politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Closing our staggering wealth gap is crucial to the survival of our economy and our democracy.

White people who can’t succeed in a system built for them are the ultimate failures in America, blaming and generating an imaginary boogie man in the Black and Brown communities for their shortcomings in life.

There is just as much crime in my neighborhood as DC , can I have the National Guard come mow my lawn ?

My matcha dealer has just announced very bad news. It feels like the end of an era. I’ve been priced out of the market.

Grammar is an agent of clarity, therefore a source of light.

I’d love to see ICE clamp down on Cracker Barrel refugees.

Some of you white people have failed to understand; it is not Black against white, it’s Blacks against racism. Take all the time you need with this………

“I believe that there will be a clash between those who want freedom, justice and equality for everyone and those who want to continue the systems of exploitation.”
— Malcolm X

'A writer cannot put himself today in the service of those who make history; he is at the service of those who suffer it' - Albert Camus

“White Americans must recognize that justice for black people cannot be achieved without radical changes in the structure of our society” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

2 of 2: There's no one on your side at that moment. Whoever ordered uniformed American soldiers to get on their knees for that Russian son-of-a-bitch and Vladimir Putin issued an illegal order and should face a court martial. It was an absolute moment of shame. End

This is one my favorite objects because it encapsulates my love for BCN and cycling. It was a part of a shop display, but it was not for sale. I asked the shopkeeper the price, and we arrived at a sum of $7.

It shouldn’t be considered a radical position to want to live in a country where everyone has a home, enough food to eat, clean water to drink, air to breathe.

We only need $418 to reach out goal!

Pro blackness is essential in an anti black society

People should be up in arms about the closure of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the destruction of the economy, the arrests of non-criminal immigrants and the increasing banning of books and other information sources in this country. Wake up, folks.

Came across something interesting tonight.

I’ve been in Prague for over three weeks, moving all around the city with ease, but except for my airport transport, I have not been in a car.

"Whites, it must frankly be said, are not putting in a similar mass effort to reeducate themselves out of their racial ignorance. It is an aspect of their sense of superiority that the white people of America believe they have so little to learn.” ― Martin Luther King Jr.

"The beauty of anti-racism is that you don't have to pretend to be free of racism to be an anti-racist. Anti-racism is the commitment to fight racism wherever you find it, including in yourself. And it's the only way forward." - Ijeoma Oluo

I just sent a text with a comma in a compound sentence, and in that context, it feels a little violent.

It’s worth zooming in on this mosaic wall I encountered on a residential street in Prague.

Having briefed Project 2025 legally, I know, at minimum, the following principles and institutions must be reimagined, even abolished if necessary, if the U.S. ever hopes to undo much less remedy Project 2025: - policing - prisons, jails - cash bail - I.C.E. - Electoral College - 2nd Amendment 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Listening to Pavement in a beer cafe in Prague, drinking from a fresh keg of beer made with a new hybrid hop that has not yet been named. There’s a woman rolling a cigarette, and this abstainer is jealous.

Abstract Pikachus in Prague

Alligator Alcatraz is exactly the kind of diabolical evil you saw from Nazis and the Japanese in WW2. They’re making a spectacle out of being the most insane and wicked people on the planet. The GOP must be destroyed. ♥️🤍💙
