The thing is, nobody with good politics is interested in defending Bill Clinton or his FBI www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

...But Curtis gets to slide in and simply exist with the title of "Dad".🙄

...some great actor. Hell, if anything, he's dull. It pisses me off that he asked for this family, but has barely been anything worthy of being called dad or husband. If we're really being honest, Trina didn't need Curtis. She had a fully established father who did the job of raising her...

💯And it's selfish ASF! I'm with Keila and Jasmine when they and others say, the vets need to step aside. It's clear they're worried about someone outshining them; Nicholas Chavez being one, who I think ruffled a few feathers of some of the older male vets. And let's be clear, Donnell isn't...

...over a white female. Frank and Co. continue to be an extension to the racist hatred and disrespect to actress,Tabyana Ali; through mistreatment of her character. When you disrespect your actress, you allow for others to do the same.

Frank Valentini signing off on infantilizing Trina while the audience complains that, Trina who isn't on enough is somehow so annoying that she needs to go(side-eye. And this infantilization only fuels that hatred that exists for her by a white community who resent her for being desired...

...be the head negro in charge of his so-called kingdom; With the women in his life, held to certain standards that he himself refuses to adhere to. This idea of the perfect woman only exists in the mind of a narcissistic male like Curtis. It's the typical; He likes the outer package...

I think this right here sums up Curtis Ashford. It crossed my mind today how toxic this character is to the black women that exist in his orbit. Donnell Turner went to Frank and asked that he give his character a family. And so far, Curtis sucks as both a father and husband. Curtis wants to...

A Muslim man is the Australian hero who risked his life to save Jewish lives. Do not believe their narrative! People are for the most part GOOD and MORAL. End religious hate. Be like Ahmed al Ahmed. #ahmedalahmed #hero

The connection between my local politicians and their connection w/Isr@el became clearer when the current mayor, Eric Adams, returned from his trip there in August '23. He gushed about meeting military leaders and adapting their policing practices and surveillance technologies for NYC.

Food for thought.

“Slow Poison”: Scholar Mahmood Mamdani on New Book About Uganda, Decolonization & More

Today, another infant, Taim Al-Khawaja, died from hypothermia in Gaza City, along with a 9-year-old girl, Hadeel Al-Masri. Just yesterday, 8-month-old Rahaf Al-Jazar also lost her life to the cold. The occupation continues to block shelter aid at the border.

...are. I'm pissed because Frank and Co. are very much responsible for a lot of the racism Tabyana Ali endured online. When you as an executive producer (Frank Valentini) don't even show your support for interracial pairings, how else do you think a racist is going to view that?...

Thank you so much! And thank you for taking time out to read it. I know i'm not only one whose pissed at what we're witnessing unfold. I honestly thought that after what happened to Nicole Beharie several years ago on Sleepy Hollow that we wouldn't be revisiting the same bullshit, yet here we...

...So, it is worrisome where this story could go. I quite frankly, don't trust them with her character or this storyline for that matter. I feel bad for Tabyana because there are racist stigmas that are being placed on her simply because of her skin tone and looks. Stigmas that ceased to exist...

... Sydney McKayla to return; as if they wouldn't have written her this way as well. They also stated "nothing at all against the current actress". They also stated that they wouldn't want Spencer back. Can these people just own up to their colorism, racism, and preferential bias???...

The hatred towards Tabyana as Trina is off the charts ever since Elizabeth Korte has chosen to write her infantilized. I saw comments that ranged from "Maybe she'll go to prison, to maybe she'll be eliminated". I once again saw someone using the situation to highlight their wish for...

CVE, Korte and FV all need to get fired. #GH

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

This is the definition of ingenuity.

Someone told me to watch this SNL sketch about America’s “media-opoly.” It feels eerily prophetic given the Warner Bros/Netflix/Paramount merger saga. Watch.

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

If Paramount is allowed to take over Warner Bros. Discovery, the conservative billionaire Ellison family will control: Paramount Studios CBS CNN MTV HBO Comedy Central Nickelodeon Cartoon Network Warner Bros. DC Studios Fandango New Line Cinema TNT Sports TBS Oracle And more.

Spotify needs to remove the ICE recruitment ads. If you hear one, make sure to give it a thumbs down.

“The decision was made to exclude me from the filmed production of Swan Lake because I was told my brown skin would disrupt the aesthetic.” ~ Misty Copeland When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

Colorism does not go both ways. You are not experiencing colorism because you're lightskin. Take it from me because I'm lightskin.

A mass wedding was held in Khan Younis for Palestinians who went through two years of horror. This is resistance.

"The Underground Railroad was not so much aimed at 'helping' fugitives escape as it was a movement to learn from & amplify the work fugitives were already doing to free themselves." by Jesse Olsavsky in @hammerandhope.bsky.social For anyone teaching U.S. history ⬇️ hammerandhope.org/article/unde...

Indigenous actor Elaine Miles of "Northern Exposure" was detained by ICE at a Redmond bus stop. When she showed them her Tribal ID, they told her it was fake.

Apple is anti-union. Tesla is anti-union. Amazon is anti-union. McDonald's is anti-union. Starbucks is anti-union. Google is anti-union. Walmart is anti-union. These mega-corporations aren’t on workers’ side and their actions make it painfully clear.

Nicole should be Kat’s no.1 defender, instead she’s her biggest op next to her dad. Nicole knows exactly what Kat is going through. She’s also knows how hard it is when your family expects you to be the strong one and really you’re breaking down inside. And she’s a therapist!! #BeyondTheGates

Globalization has been an economic buzzword for decades, but what does it actually mean? Here's what I tell my students.

Really don’t think Mamdani should have made whatever deal he made for the Jeffries endorsement. He didn’t need it, and he does not need to be giving Jeffries these sound bites.

As ICE was raiding a nearby community in Charlotte, NC, this bus driver opened the back door to get the kids off the bus and to safety as quickly as possible.
