#Disney boycotting is good, but if we want to be great, stop selling your homes to corporations. The most nefarious of the corporate political actors are deeeeep in our real estate. If you're selling a home soon, sell it to an actual person.

Susan, I hope I look as good as you at 102!

It's sobering, in its way, to realize that there was truly nobody (save, perhaps, his children) who knew him that loved him as a man. He made himself into content, and he died as content, and his funeral is the most content of all. Soundbites to soundbites, bits to bits

Is there seriously no one with decent values and a spine willing to primary Jeffries? Because that person would get my money.

Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, and Thomas Sankara showed that the military can be used as a tool of liberation. They didn't fight to protect landlords, private property or imperialist interests. They fought to defend the people, dismantle exploitation and build a better society.

Aliens, off-worlders, have been among us and we've explained it away. I need spacecraft coordinates and flight instructions.

everything changed, everything destroyed, everything gone

Disney is a high content producer. Hurting them absolutely hurts syndicates. Also, we're talking Americans+ instant gratification. Disney is a large target everyone can aim at. The other two, mostly unknown/unseen companies, fracture to small localities that are not noticeable to the larger public.

Deeply disturbing how black women are so horribly sexualized. Even someone as sexually aware, open and expressive as Eartha Kitt. She was open about famous lovers, but folks still make up salacious things like this. Eartha's on record talking about her platonic friendship w James Dean. Why the leap?

They don't know people. Market research is about how to make and keep consumers. None of them can tell you why George Floyd shocked the world onto the streets. Or why Jimmy Kimmel outraged everyone to destroy Disney. People who worked w/MLK can tell you. Those who respect civil rights can tell you.

We really can’t understate the psychic toll of knowing that the United States government is trying to kill as many people as possible

Solar now fully installed and powering the house during the day, and batteries installed (in the cat enclosure) due to be hooked up early next week. An amazing feeling - house is fully electrified, and we will be basically off-grid running fully on #renewable energy from next week.

😭 I can't with us!!!!! **Inhaled a triple snort and had to beat my own chest to start breathing again.** He said: Imma run circles around you and then did just that. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Then, "Hold on, let me put my chicken down." Whew. They ain't ready. This generation will laugh them into the grave.

People NEED to call things what they are. The Atlantic slave route is reactivated. In reverse. Americans are capturing people & sending them across the world for💲💲 The captured people are then forced into labor & most likely repeatedly raped. They are captives in foreign lands. THIS IS NOT OK.

TPUSA means Trans People USA

This is on my "fuck them people" playlist. I really need to finish it.

It's a good reminder to look at the actual text every once in a while.

The actions against Disney matter because the only way to mobilize capital against illiberalism is to make illiberalism unprofitable. “We the people” have two types of primary power within our current system: our votes and our money.

Better still, remember there are no good people. "But Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone." ~ Luke 18:19

It really isn't.

All any movement needs is a catalyst. Thanks, #Disney for the spark.

Same here. I only use StoryGraph and it seems there are lots of other options depending on what you like. 📚

Love StoryGraph! If you decide to go with SG from GR, you can do a one time pull over of all of your shelves, tags, books, lists, etc., so that you don’t lose it all. Guessing the others have similar tools. StoryGraph and LibraryThing are free. I’m not familiar with BookWyrm, but probably?

Folks are too loose w/their words. Being in power, having access to power, holding an empowered office, & usurping power, are all different from being powerful in and off yourself. We are not fighting the most "powerful people on Earth." We're fighting smoke n'mirror manipulators w no substance.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Wondering why the white dems who voted in favor aren’t on this morning show being questioned as to why they voted in favor. Why is the black women up here being questioned, as if it’s even a f*cking question. This country is so sick.

The phrasing of this question is shitty and biased. Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett @crockett.house.gov, as always, gave a golden response.

I vegged on #BlackRabbit on @netflix.com yesterday. Some of the worse storytelling & plot actions I've zombied through in a long time. My recurring thoughts were: "Jude Law is looking like a mature snack. But of course his character is questionable." And, "When did Jason Bateman get so scrawny?"

Such a wise and worthy man to remember well.

Happy September 21st to those that celebrate!!! 😃 💃🏾🕺🏾

The USDA is ending the annual report on hunger in America, two months after slashing SNAP benefits. They don't care if Americans starve, as long as it's in silence.

there's nothing quiet about grief it fills your mouth with an ocean when you try to breathe drowns you in silence no matter how loud you scream

For all those claiming Jeffries' in action is all that can be expected of a minority leader, what do you think of this telling vote? @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social #demsarecomplicit #hakeemjeffries

If you are one of the almost 100 Dems who voted to honor the guy who said the Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake, don’t bother asking Black people to vote for you, donate to you or canvass for you next year. Don’t bother. Please. And don’t be shocked if you get a primary opponent.

I keep saying they (government) wants us destitute and completely dependent on their occasional crumbs.

Remember: Politicians aren't our masters, they're our EMPLOYEES and we need to treat them as such.

I realized all the condescending replies are people who refused to do the work before now, and chastising Black people is their way of making themselves feel better about it. "They're doing nothing in this pivotal moment!" - they say, ignoring the pivotal decades preceding it

On a lighter note, words "Heard coming out my mouth" from my time working with littles in an elementary school a couple of years ago. #sowhatyougonnado #saywhat wp.me/pbB3wX-4dS

It's not a test if it's how you live. Some of us are forced to live in our integrity or be trampled under the feet of the many attempting to subjugate us daily.
