"..we are all capable of believing things which we know to be untrue, and then, when we are finally proved wrong, impudently twisting the facts so as to show that we were right...sooner or later a false belief bumps up against solid reality, usually on a battlefield." George Orwell

This makes me so happy. This film, anchored by Michael B. Jordan’s performance, is so deeply meaningful to so many of us. Lovely to see this upright, talented young man recognized for his superb portrayal. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Good Morning Blacksky! 😌 Ryan Coogler is an Academy Award Winning Filmmaker. AND Michael B. Jordan is an Academy Award Winning Actor. Make today an amazing day!

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

On this day in 1901, after a Black man accused of stealing a white man’s wallet escaped lynching in Rome, Tennessee, the mob of white men instead seized and lynched Ballie Crutchfield, his sister.

One of the reasons the GOP is able to win is that their base has no standards or purity tests & don’t refuse to vote no matter how hypocritical or flawed their candidate is. Reagan was the GOP’s hero despite banning open carry as governor because the law specifically targeted the Black Panthers. 1️⃣/4️⃣

Yeah, Mr. Faith Leader Opportunist can STFU.

😂😂😂🤣😭💀 I‘m not done keeping my coins out of Target’s pockets. The funniest part about all of this is it’s women that shop there the most but now a man is telling folks it’s ok to shop there. Ummm…it was NEVER men that were leading the charge for this boycott. 19thnews.org/2026/03/targ...

We’ve never, ever had this before. A President completely untethered to truth. I mean completely untethered to truth. That’s such a bad thing. But you know what’s even worse? Way, way too many people don’t care. And way too much of the media no longer cares.👇

On this day in 2020, Louisville police officers shot and killed 26-year-old Breonna Taylor during a no-knock raid in the middle of the night in Louisville, Kentucky.

On this day in 1956, 19 Senators and 82 Representatives from the 11 Southern states—almost 20% of Congress—released the Southern Manifesto, opposing the Brown v. Board of Education decision.

The press called Betty Shabazz, Coretta Scott King, and Myrlie Evers "the widows." Between them, they held six degrees, ran three national institutions, raised sixteen children alone, and spent a combined sixty years fighting for justice their husbands didn't live to see.

The New Yorker up its old tricks again as they enlist an artist who completely blew the assignment

“Bryant was not the first to call for a Target boycott. Nekima Levy Armstrong, founder of the Racial Justice Network, and other civil rights activists in Minnesota, launched a boycott last February over the retailer's DEI rollbacks…” exactly. www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

The Oklahoma Eagle reported that the family of Michael Glunt was told it could take 8+ months and $3,000 to obtain bodycam footage from a Feb. 8 police shooting. After publication, the family met with the mayor’s office and was told the video does not exist.

Markwayne Mullin is the same dude already under scrutiny for suspicious stock trades. And he’s supposed to run America’s national security. • No government security experience • No law enforcement background • No intelligence work • No military service • Not even a bachelor’s degree

I’m not understanding why this is controversial… If your plan was to win the primary without the Black Vote then you should have thought about the possibility of having to win the general without the Black Vote. Why is that controversial…other than reality now sinking in?

Insanity is doing the same thing(s) over and over again, and expecting different results. Stacey Jasmine Kamala. Harm reduction isn't working for me anymore.

#WomensHistoryMonth THREAD🧵Educator, civil and voting rights activist and teacher, Septima Poinsette Clark's work empowered over 700,000 -- you read that right -- 700,000 Black people to vote. Don't know about civil rights heroine Septima Clark? Glad you asked.

i feel like i’ve been trying to warn about anti-blackness & racism at The New Yorker for years now but sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words…

On this day in 1865, Confederate troops hanged a young Black woman on the courthouse lawn in Darlington, South Carolina, for "conduct unbecoming a slave" weeks before the end of the Civil War.

Let me tell you something. Y’all are asking too many damn questions at every point of sale. I have to leave a comment, make a suggestion, donate to a charity, choose a method of payment three times and then multiple choice of ways to get a receipt. Take the damn money and leave me alone.

On this day in 1892, a white mob in Memphis, Tennessee, lynched three Black men who had opened a grocery store earlier that year, threatening the racial order by forcing white business owners to economically compete.

“…about the 1873 massacre in Colfax, La., where dozens of Black men were murdered by a mob of former Confederates and Ku Klux Klan members. ChatGPT had deemed it “D.E.I.” Mr. Fox said he agreed. “Because it focuses on exclusively anti-Black violence, which is a race,” he said.”

Wanted to capture the leftist hate on this app from that thread of Aaron Rupar where he posted about VP Harris speaking at Rev Jesse Jackson’s funeral…

SNCC were amongst the biggest organizers of Selma. Yesterday we lost Bernard Lafayette. Today is Marion Barry's birthday. Tomorrow is the anniversary of Bloody Sunday

This post of full of pissed off leftists who don’t know how we conduct Black funerals so they’re being predictably racist toward VP Harris, anti Black and standard pieces of shit. Most are hiding behind cartoon and anime avis… of course

Democrats seem to be saying to Black voters: “Give us your votes, but leave your voices behind” We’re not going to be silent partners in our own fight for equity and equality.

Seems Talarico stans & others in white liberalism don't like the message Reecie & others are saying? You created this 🛏️. Don't ask Black ppl to fix it for you. 🫵🏾 fix it. @eddsmitty.bsky.social @mrmannswife.bsky.social @deardean22.bsky.social @ektashahmd.bsky.social @roseyroseamund.bsky.social

Black voters need to adapt to who the parties are now. Our votes and actions may have to be focused much more locally. We should vote (always) but not for harmful, unsafe and anti-Black candidates even when they say they're democrats. I need concrete and guaranteed long term and short term benefits.

This is utterly unacceptable.

⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️ 🧵 The only thing that is shocking about this is that we weren't taught about it. Cruel medical experiments on slaves in the South were common. Black "specimens" were subjected to (cont) #ProudBlue #ResistanceRoots #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory theconversation.com/how-black-sl...

On this day in 1959, 21 Black teenagers burned to death in a building fire at a segregated and neglected “reform” school in Arkansas after being left alone and locked inside their dorm.

It was such a pleasure to interview attorney Bryan Stevenson about the photography of Gordon Parks as he curates a new showing in London. His vivid and intimate colour images from 1956, showing the daily disgrace of the segregated South, remain extremely pertinent to this day:

Progressives do not understand representational politics, or how to build coalitions. The more I observe progressives, the more I realize some of you confuse populism with progressivism. The two most high profile Progressives are two of the least productive legislators.

Sen. Schatz: There are times when you go into a classified session and you walk out with a better understanding about the rationale behind the military action. This is not one of those times. We remain as confused as the American people are

Pushing white politicians on Black people comes with baggage that I don’t believe white people think about or consider before doing so
