Puts this here for those that don’t know 👇🏾

Anothet great appointment. I was an ed reporter at the Village Voice, and THE great sacred cow of white NYC liberals is maintaining the segregated “gifted & talented” public schools, which Mamdani has promised to dismantled. Samuels has worked towards this already. www.amny.com/education/ka...

The American failure to protect its children sinks to new lows

On the one hand, every First is a victory, on the other, every First is an indictment. Congratulations on Renee Hardman's 2025 crucial special election to Iowa's state Senate, marking her as the state Senate's first ever elected Black woman.

It is decided. My season for explaining and convincing has come to an end. Using the time I have left to move differently and act. My conscience is clear. What will be will be.

Remember how during the pandemic masking eliminated an entire flu strain, well guess what ? Large health systems including mine are back to recommending masking for visitors + healthcare personnel in hospitals and clinics due to the very high levels of flu we are seeing currently & because it works!

Be more confident in yourself. You are who YOU are for a divine purpose - stand tall & walk strong in that every day you wake.

Idk about yall but I’m rich enough to not have to work the rest of 2025 😮‍💨

RIP Richard Smallwood, prayers to his family 🙏🏾🕊 "Total Praise" 🙌🏾 #GospelLegend

Black America is Rudy

I lift my hands in total praise to you. 🙏🏽♥️🙏🏽

Felt all of this. It extends across the board too. There are thousands of Black kids who may have talent, be it raw or otherwise, but don’t get the opportunities because either their parents cannot make time due to obligations, or they don’t have a vast amount of money it takes to participate.

Janelle talk about finding black and dark skin children to be on Abbott. She’s so real for this.

Case in point lol

I wish the legacy media would talk about the fact that almost no one under 40 can buy a house, insurance premiums are set to skyrocket, and most Americans are living from paycheck to paycheck instead of *checks notes* the finer feelings of billionaires.

hey y'all, so my job (a non-profit) is building a library--of rare, unique, & banned books--which will be housed in anacostia (SE!!) we're hosting a film screening & panel discussion/fundraiser on MLK weekend, 1/18/26 come support a great cause! www.eventbrite.com/e/unbanned-f...

Everybody should watch this video. 🩷

Everyone is watching Black women being blasted back fifty years and capitalizing on it

These motherfuckers

This has been the most challenging thing for me. I don’t expect anything of the ultra wealthy. They only care about themselves. But to see others encouraging and enabling that behavior and trying to prevent those with the most need from accessing resources, that’s a bitter pill.

Not just the rich and that's also something to sit with.

Everything always works out for me. And I mean always. Don’t know why I EVER worry.

Is Don Lemon doing something for NYE?

Butterfly by Mariah Carey I’m good until that bridge and I lose it every time.

Crazy how often dumb gets misspelled.

Family all gone. Tomorrow is the first day I don’t have morning obligations lol. Sleeping in on a Monday. 😴

Every therapist who's ever been worth my time is someone I have butt heads with repeatedly, someone who challenged me when I wanted to tell them to fuck off. You're not gonna get someone sitting through your worst and then helping you process and find your way out of it without a human involved.

A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles. When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies. This is outrageous.

Democrats must be so good at this because the “hoax” keeps showing up on our grocery receipts and utility bills.

They never should've mainstreamed therapy if it would lead people to believe automatic text that agrees that everything you say is the greatest thing ever is therapy. A therapist has to be a sounding board providing feedback on your unhealthy mental habits & impulses. Not just make you feel great.

This message hits hard.

“There’s a responsible way to use AI” “There’s a responsible way to pay more for electricity, poison Black people, and encourage teens to kill themselves”

The first Black flight attendant was born 94 years ago today. Ruth Carol Taylor was born December 27, 1931. She was hired as a stewardess for Mohawk airlines in 1957. She was let go 6months later. She was also heavily involved in the Civil Rights Movement She passed in 2023, 2 short yrs ago

Having a young Black woman compliment you with “You are gorgeous!” will never not make my entire day.

Blessings just keep on coming.

Think a #NoticeWonder shirt would be awesome? It could be a reality if you move fast! The store is open today through Nov 9. Hopefully enough styles, sizes, and colors to suit everyone. #ITeachMath #MTBoS

Just cleaned out my bathroom drawers and shelves. Each item, each storage container. Purged old cosmetics or things I don’t wear. Feeling and smelling amazing!

I’m people’d out….

Santa be down to the lodge with his Masonic brothers, huh?

You will be visited by three spirits, and it will feel good.

To those who observe, sincerely wishing you❤️🎄💚
