With the Voting Rights Act in front of SCOTUS, here are lessons and books for K-12 on the history of voter suppression and the long (ongoing) fight for voting rights. #TeachOutsideTextbook #TeachTruth ⬇️ www.zinnedproject.org/news/teach-t...

Will Supreme Court Gut Voting Rights Act & Weaken Electoral Power of Black Americans?

I learned very early that "The American people", never meant Black people, not ever. My maternal grandmother told me when I was 17, "We don't have the right to vote. They let us vote, and they can take that away at anytime." It's happening. At the same time a more humane society asks to be born.

I'm watching yesterday's episode, and Ted needs to get a restraining order against Leslie. She was about to SA him again. The writers need to stop trying to normalize this. #BTG #BeyondTheGates

Two Trinidad citizens identified as victims of US airstrike that destroyed a boat off the coast of Venezuela. “According to maritime law, if you see a boat, you are supposed to stop the boat and intercept it, not just blow it up."

People still think they don’t need to read black thinkers to do their work. They’re wrong and their work is worse for it.

Andrew Cuomo couldn’t even name Donald Trump when Tish James was baselessly targeted by his Justice Department. If you can’t name a problem like Donald Trump, how can you be expected to tackle it?

FYI The people heckling Kamala are the same people on the frontlines protesting Trump. Genocide and fascism go together like peanut butter and jelly.

You’ll be missed D’Angelo.

RIP D'Angelo (1974-2025) 🕊️😔

youtube.com/watch?v=Gg7r... So, interestingly,this video popped up on my YouTube feed. I forgot about the racism and preferential bias of another popular tv show featuring a beautiful black woman as THE love interest before the same "wash, rinse, repeat of racial bias politics...

Palestinian father and hostage Ali Al-Sayes embraces his daughter after over 20 years in Israeli prison. His daughter was just a little child when he was taken.

Saleh's older brother, Naji AlJafarawi, sees his father for the first time after being held hostage by the occupation. His father buried Saleh today, and welcomed Naji back hours later.

The IOF kept lying to him that his whole family was killed, over and over again, so that they can psychologically torture him. This was the moment he saw them.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice. The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

While Israelis celebrated the return of captives from Gaza, Israel warned Palestinian families against holding celebrations over the return of prisoners – some who had been held for decades. Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh explains.

Palestinian prisoners released from Israel have been greeted by huge crowds in the occupied West Bank, as a prisoner and captive exchange took place on Monday as part of the Gaza ceasefire deal.

America really thinks authoritarianism is something it has the right to export around the world, not something it ever has to experience.

Saleh was 27 years old with his life ahead of him. He loved his people, he loved his religion, he loved his land. He covered the genocide for two years as the powers of the world tried to silence his voice. His voice will live on, even after the occupation ends. Glory to the martyrs.

The beloved Saleh Al-Jafarawi has been murdered. We are absolutely devastated. For 2 years he reported on the genocide of his people, just for him to be murdered during the ‘ceasefire’

⚠️GRAPHIC CONTENT⚠️ The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office arrested a Black mother outside her child’s school after an officer confronted her about leaving her car illegally parked and unattended. This level of force on an unarmed woman in a school pick-up line is outrageous! 🎥: Smiley Charles/Facebook

Trina McGee Nicole Beharie Kat Graham Candace Patton Tabyana Ali Kerry Washington. I also would like to add, Lark Voorhees to this. These women definitely need a podcast regarding the racism and mistreatment by cast members, writers and tv execs.

Chapter 35 of "Who Do You Love?" is now up. archiveofourown.org/works/630976... #Sprina #Trina #Fanfic

Don't get me started on Angela & Shawn. They should've been the endgame. Period. Also Bonnie & Damon, when I saw where they were going on TVD I was pissed. Kat and Ian had great chemistry and it was wasted all for boring ass Elena. 😡🤬

Please, watch this video if your favorite black female tv character garnered racist hate, resentment and jealousy from not only white female fans but white tv executives and writers. These three women including actresses Nicole Beharie and Tabyana Ali have been subjected it because...

I don’t wait for permission to fight for what’s right. I’m running to represent Missouri’s First because our community deserves a leader who shows up when it’s hardest and fights for all of us with courage. Thanks for having me, @velshi.com @msnbc.com. #CoriForUs

This is definitely the case with #Sprina and #Trina.

Mandla Mandela, The grandson of late South African president and anti-apartheid leader Nelson Mandela, arrived in Johannesburg on Wednesday after being detained and then deported by Israel, which prevented the flotilla he was part of from breaking the blockade in Gaza.

Don’t forget to talk about #Congo #DRC #CongoGenocide #HandsOffCongo

Plumes of smoke from Israeli attacks were seen rising over Gaza hours after Israel and Hamas agreed to the first phase of a ceasefire plan, brokered by Donald Trump.

The brave journalists and the brave civil defense team celebrate in the streets.

Israel and Hamas have agreed to the "first phase" of a ceasefire deal. And, hundreds of National Guard troops were deployed to the greater Chicago area at President Trump's request. n.pr/46ZzgqK

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

"History didn't start on October 7," says Palestinian journalist Plestia Alaqad, who became famous for her viral video dispatches from Gaza in the early days of Israel's genocide. Her new book is "The Eyes of Gaza: A Diary of Resilience." https://www.democracynow.org/2025/10/7/plestia_alaqad

Brought up DMX at work and one of my co-workers said "Oh he's kinda like Eminem right?" REOPEN THE SCHOOLS

Mandla Mandela, MP and grandson of Nelson Mandela, gives an update on the rest of the Global Sumud Flotilla crew after landing in Jordan.

Uniting the working class means getting your people to stop being racist, transphobic, classist, etc for 10 mins running rather than getting marginalized people to be quiet about their oppression. I'm sorry your favorite relative picked the wrong side, but the civil war "broke up families" too.

A white male celebrity who vehemently supports his current white fiancé's microaggressions towards the Black women who were once part of his life. Hmm, where have I seen this before?

This love triangle between Kat, Tomas and Eva triangle is exhausting. Both sisters deserve better. It's clear that Tomas isn't worth it. The character's a trope. The acting is flat and the role should've been recast. We can see Tomas is an opportunist but the show hasn't revealed his motives. #BTG

A fire destroyed the home of South Carolina Circuit Court Judge Diane Goodstein weeks after she temporarily blocked South Carolina from handing over millions of voters’ personal data to Trump’s DOJ. She received death threats following that ruling.

Greta Thunberg gives her first words after she was released from Israeli prison where she was beat and forced to kiss the Israeli flag. She says the story is not about them, the story is about Gaza.

Israel has freed Swedish activist Greta Thunberg and is expelling her from the country. She was among hundreds of activists detained by Israeli forces at sea while attempting to deliver aid to Gaza. Freed activists have alleged abuse while in detention, with Thunberg singled out for humiliation.

happy bday civil rights leader Fannie Lou Hamer, b.1917, Montgomery county, MS. “Sometimes it seem like to tell the truth today is to run the risk of being killed. But if I fall, I’ll fall five feet four inches forward in the fight for freedom. I’m not backing off.”

Honoring civil rights and voting rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer on her birthday. Fannie Lou Hamer was born on October 6, 1917, in Montgomery County, Mississippi. She was a leader and outspoken advocate for the advancement of Black people. Below, she makes her famous speech. youtu.be/07PwNVCZCcY

You'll be more ready or what's to come if you flip the "they wouldn't do that" switch in your head OFF. And tape it down while you're at it. Because yes, they absolutely would. And are at this moment. And have before. And always have, since the beginning.

Execs at Oracle, the likely new owner of TikTok, are VERY outspoken in Israeli media about the company's "mission to support the State of Israel" & "unequivocal support for Israel." Insufficiently pro-Israel Oracle staff receive mental health counseling. responsiblestatecraft.org/oracle-tikto...

Ellison has tik tok, oracle, paramount, cbs, Kushner has Electronic Arts, bezos has MGM, Amazon, WaPO, Zuckerberg has threads, Instagram, Facebook, Sinclair nexstar buying up affiliates, musk owns Xitter, Murdoch is just dog crap. Look at the narratives they are controlling.

"Over a drink earlier in Donald Trump’s second term, one of the president’s advisers described the Oracle cofounder, chairman, and chief technology officer to me as a literal 'shadow president of the United States,' if not necessarily the shadow president." www.wired.com/story/larry-...

This was the autopsy paid for by Colin Kaepernick. We knew this. Second autopsy reveals Trey Reeds was murdered despite false reports of suicide. Trey Reed was found dead hanging from a tree on the campus of Delta State University, which is located in Cleveland, Mississippi.

South Africa is demanding the immediate release of Nelson Mandela's Grandson, Mandla Mandela. Free the Hostages.
