Acts 2:38 "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins". John 3:5 "Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God".

We live in a country where the media is focused more on who a Democratic mayoral candidate defines as his ‘aunt’ than on the DHS Twitter account putting out white nationalist propaganda and replying to Nazis online.

Finally someone bold enough to ask, is new york ready for a mayor who opposes slavery? www.nytimes.com/2025/10/28/u...

There are 1,200 data centers in the South, and $200 billion worth are on the horizon. Black community members said they are fighting a new wave of “extraction.” capitalbnews.org/data-centers...

Stop being racist for 24 hours challenge... Impossible.

IME white bio families are the least welcoming to adoptees. I think it is rooted in our culture's reverence for legal contracts between each other and ownership.

*also looks at their commitment to nuclear families*

There is simply no reason for people to lose SNAP benefits other than evil

I’m going to add that, they are doing this on purpose to increase the idea that Brown families lie about their connections to take resources and take over America Which is especially important as they push the idea of “real” American families

The government of Jamaica has set up a portal for contributing to official relief efforts. I will update this thread if anything analogous opens up for Haiti, Cuba, or the DR supportjamaica.gov.jm

Sharing for awareness: For those able and willing to help, the Embassy of Jamaica in DC is coordinating disaster relief in the U.S. They have asked folks to reach out to them at [email protected] to coordinate support. The government has info on donations supportjamaica.gov.jm

This came out in 1993, kim era exists at the same time as this. This was what was considered the “norm” before kim & missy hit the scene fully. Even male rappers used to address the shift cuz they didnt “respect” it very publicly. youtu.be/FLYu4jT5Ez4?...

Pray for Jamaica 🙏🏾

when it comes to Confederate statues, you gotta melt the shit down or otherwise fuck it up so badly it cannot be repaired bc if there is even a possibility that it can be restored?? these motherfuckers are gonna put it right back up at the earliest opportunity

Some seem to think it would be an unfair hardship for billionaires and millionaires to pay the same tax rate as the rest of us. I suppose it's difficult for the wealthy to pay such a tax rate and be left still, with just millions and billions to make ends meet.

We have historical precedent in this country. Wealthy people and corporations paid a much higher percent of taxes before 1980. Before Reagan Republicans weaponized racism to divide the working class and cover up the fact that they were systematically gutting the country.

and I would add that given the entirety of the social safety net expenses being a pittance in comparison with the subsidies and benefits given to the top 1%, 10%, 20%, that maybe they ought to carry all of the expense. at least until such time as labor gets a fair share of the wealth they produce

We inexcusably privilege capital in this country, and tax labor. Stock losses can reduce your taxable income and/or capital gains, but if you lose your job you don't get a "credit" to reduce your future taxes for the time you went without pay. Tax capital and labor equally.

Exactly! Tax them at 1950s rates then do something with their borrowed money. They did not earn that money single-handedly.

It has to go beyond that to a wealth tax. Too many rich people don't even have significant incomes to tax. They can survive on borrowed money.

Their fair share would be WHAT THE REST OF US PAY. Most people pay up to 37%. Billionaires pay around 1%. You’re just saying words that make it clear you love billionaires and the suffering of the working class.

STOP REPLYING ALL TO EMAILS!

It was like using Jeffrey Dahmer as evidence that we should eliminate food assistance.

questioning, she revealed her husband was a laborer earning 250 dollars a month. She wanted a divorce to get an 80 dollar raise. She's eligible for 330 dollars a month in the Aid to Dependent Children Program. She got the idea from two women in her neighborhood who'd already done that very thing.

We can even find the roots of this welfare queen lie in his 1964 speech "A Time for Choosing": Not too long ago, a judge called me here in Los Angeles. He told me of a young woman who'd come before him for a divorce. She had six children, was pregnant with her seventh. Under his

Anyway, this thread is one of the reasons that I'm happy that Black folks are mostly sitting things out right now. There will come a time when that will have to change, but for now white folk need to wake up from all of their delusions & get to work dismantling their fictions, including this lie.

Not a huge fan of Killer Mike, but his song Reagan is pitch perfect. I was a pre-teen in 1984, it's the first election I remember, and Mike evokes the feelings of dread and marginalization that the Reagan era produced in Black people. Shout out to El-P on production here.

People often glibly say that everything wrong in the USA can be traced back to Reagan. And they're not wrong. Folks believe the welfare queen lie because the GOP has been pushing it since 1976. But it was Reagan who invented that lie. And that lie is still working as intended.

So, given the SNAP crisis & that stupid DNC memo making the rounds it's important to revisit Reagan's decade long effort to demonize gov't spending on poor people by inventing the welfare queen lie. He's doing this as early as January of 1976. Please note the response from the crowd at the end.

People get irate when you don’t “perform” poverty correctly.

I did not expect to be in full blown tears listening to Jazmine Sullivan perform yesterday, but there I was…in the rain, just crying. That “Lost Ones” tribute to her mom and it was her mom’s birthday 😭😭🤍

This is my daily reminder to yall that no matter how you felt about Kamala Harris’s candidacy nothing will explain or excuse the fact that white Americans gave Republicans full control of the House, the Senate, and the Supreme Court.

Yall—-I just need to prepare yall for whats about to happen to one of our favorite countries in the Caribbean… Jamaica as we currently know it will not exist when this hurricane makes landfall. Best case scenario atp is East Jamaica is wiped off the map. You dont wanna know what the worst case is

Cleo aint have to snap like that on When Im in Your Arms. Like its sickening!!!!

Withholding money for food and finding money for every unnecessary thing is what sparked the French Revolution. Literally.

I mean, my takeaway is that rich people didn't learn from well...anyone history. And they don't actually want to live

Reading about Americans struggling to buy groceries while Trump sends $20 BILLION to Argentina is crazy-making. They don’t even go here!!

The "now that they're suffering too, right wing voters will learn and we must reach out to them" rhetoric is starting and I need people to be so fucking for real

When we completely let the food companies & grocery stores get away with price gouging--I mean, not only not doing anything about it but not *talking* about it--why would they ever do anything different?

“But many food companies, like Hormel and Oreo-maker Mondelez, are still raising prices to preserve their profit margins in the face of record costs of cocoa, coffee and beef.”

Refusing to feed people while building a massive ballroom is a fast track to eat the rich. No pun intended.

America is exhausting.

There are a LOT of men who don’t like women. They may be attracted to women, but they can’t stand them - that’s why they make it their business to embarrass or “humble” women.
