WEB DuBois in the Souls of Black Folk in 1903:

Lololol @samseder.bsky.social has to very slowly explain to this dude that government agencies don't pay taxes lolol

Twitter down real bad rn. Is this the day that Elawn has to pay the piper?

My church will not comply.

I wonder how they’re going to lose their wealth. It’s inevitable. I just wonder how it’s going to happen.

What a crazy week this day has been.

The feature on here where you can detach quote-posts from the original post is a great thing to use when dealing with troll accounts who just want to be racist at news stories about Baltimore.

The big 3 of rap this year is Meg, Kendrick and Glo.

Suspect is always chatty af.

MUSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!

@hatzigsut.bsky.social ay your display name wild!!!

How many of these newspapers refused to endorse a candidate?

Not Joe Budden and Greater Anointing! Lmao

Upton Sinclair:

A constant thought is what ima eat in the future. Near or far.

Watching the first season of Snowfall is always sad because them folks have no idea what’s about to happen: to their families, to their friends, to their communities, to themselves. The 1980s were so brutal on Black communities.

Love Firestone.

😭😭😭😭

I also wrote about what we need to survive the next four years and beyond: organizers.

Thought I was the only one. Won’t say a mumbling word to you.

You stop fw certain people and all your ducks start lining up in a row. Like that is not coincidental

*points to my banner*

“…meatier??? 🥹”

I would like to discuss how Euphoria was the superior diss song and deserves all the flowers that NLU is getting.

!!!! I like it over here.

Has it always been getting this dark around 5:30pm?!?

Issue 51 of Baltimore Beat is live! Our cover image is courtesy of the I. Henry Photo Project Archive and was taken by I. Henry Phillips Sr., circa 1950.

Many of us are echoing @timothysnyder.bsky.social's lesson in On Tyranny, "Do not obey in advance.” A no less vital admonition that deserves attn: STAND OUT “...without that unease, there is no freedom. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow."

Napping in the car between meetings is an essential for me. 😅

*cough*

Ya caught me.

Nope. The last time they offered a boat trip that long, we ended up having to follow the North Star in the back cabin of a horse and carriage.

The scene where Malcolm X is meeting the Honorable Elijah Muhammad for the first time is probably one of Denzel’s most moving scenes as an actor. It deserves the love that people give the “single tear” scene from “Glory” that won him that Best Supporting Actor Oscar.

I started my new job today but of course it’s gonna be a few weeks until I finally get a paycheck. If anyone wants to help their broke homie hit my cashapp $charles270 or Venmo charles270.

Malcolm X is my favorite movie of all time.

Mfs thought we was joking and being xenophobic after the election. We have been here before.

Aye you look like the old guy who used to be dancing in the Arrested Development music videos lmao

I don’t wanna start a habit of bringing Twitter screenshots over here, but this tweet must be the exception because it’s brilliant 😭😭😭

Wanna know an elite gospel song? “Jesus Promised” x The Chicago Mass Choir It’s congregational. Upbeat. Simple theological truths. Three part harmony. Super churchy. The Altos on “ALL I HAVE TO DO IS LIVE RIGHT” >>> Perfect example of the best of Black sacred music.

Love TKO is such a perfect song.

The front door of Lexington Market back in 2003:

Seriously considering a heavier lean into content creation.

Anybody watch FX’s “American Sports Story” on Aaron Hernandez?

Suspect adds a churchy clap and a choir rock to every song he sings “Alexa, play ‘Ain’t It Fun’ by Paramore” Me:

*hits blunt*

“GIRL YOU GOTTA TEN PIECE PLEASE DON’T BE STINGAAAYYY!!!”
