Leave black women the fuck alone. Whatever you feel like black women should be doing, get your ass up and go do it yourself. Fixed it for you 😘

If you are worried about misinformed U.S. federal guidance on vaccines and preventative health measures right now, here’s a list of well sourced and science backed alternative sources of information. A thread that you can bookmark for future reference and pass on to others 🧵

Mary Trump says her dad once shut Donald up by dumping mashed potatoes on his head. Maybe that’s the real solution—forget debates, just bring a side of spuds and watch the wannabe dictator go silent. 🥔👑 #USDemocracy #Pinks youtube.com/shorts/Ahm4g...

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

This moment demands more revolutionary voices in journalism. We don’t have the biggest team or budget, but we continue to do the necessary work to reframe sensational and anti-Black narratives. Will you support our work? Support us with a monetary contribution. buy.stripe.com/00w14n5ZRbhk...

I want the names and badge numbers/official identification of every single ICE agent involved in this incident made publicly available, I want them investigated and prosecuted under any & all applicable Illinois laws, and I will support public officials & news outlets that make this happen.

New video of ICE murdering someone in Franklin Park, Illinois for driving away. He claims he was dragged.

This creator @kingjeanty1989.bsky.social is on Bluesky. I don’t know the white creator that DJ Soulchild is compassionately educating, but I hope he is actually deserving of and receptive to this message. Shed tears for the victims of white supremacist ideologies, not those who espouse them.

It really is this simple.

Happening now: the City of Chicago and the Park District are moving in heavy equipment to remove unhoused people and their encampments at Legion Park.

"Black women have been the backbone of every progressive victory in modern American history, from civil rights to Barack Obama to Kamala Harris. But democracy is not a spectator sport. White women must stop relying on Black women to do the heavy lifting while they reap the benefits."

Illinois in general and Chicago in particular - Pritzker and Stratton want you to know your rights, AND access immigration lawyers. Further, they want you to protest, and to protect your community if you are safe from being kidnapped. www.illinoisimmigrationinfo.org

Today’s word of the day, brought to my attention by the novel It Can’t Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis:

I hope all of the branches of the fascist regime’s ministry of propaganda get held accountable for their gross fucking misconduct.

46, but it’s a more recent development for me than it was for you 😆

The State of Illinois at this time has received no requests or outreach from the federal government asking if we need assistance, and we have made no requests for federal intervention.

I need a cussing pond.

If a tiny fraction of the white women who chase black women around on social media trying to secure their allyship merit badges just fucking showed up to support black women *immediately* when these tests start, it would change everything. @itsafronomics.bsky.social is right, but even that bar 1/

I have no idea what it will take for people to start listening to black women the first 100 or so times they try to tell us what is going on, but I’ve found that listening to them and believing them the FIRST time they explain it is a real fucking time and sanity saver.

We shouldn't need a Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, but here we are. Still underpaid. Still undervalued. 66 cents on the dollar means we lose thousands every year, for doing the same job. Over a lifetime? That’s hundreds of thousands gone. Pay Black women. Period.

I was lucky to read an advance copy of my friend & colleague @lewispants.bsky.social's new book Radical Unlearning. I cannot recommend this book enough. FACTS do NOT trump BELIEF and this book helps explain why. But it does much more than that by sharing stories of people who have changed beliefs.

I can not stress how much disabled people and bipoc people and disabled bipoc people are going to need mutual aid and how much you, yes you reading this, can't ignore it and have to help by reposting it.

A real tweet from Wisconsin Republican Rep. @derrickvanorden Today’s GOP in a nutshell 🥜

Remember when authorities recently found a 58-year-old Black man hanging from a tree on Westerlo Street? After a full investigation—including an autopsy by the Medical Examiner—the Albany Police ruled the death a suicide, stating “no evidence to indicate that any criminal activity was involved.”

I am not in one of these districts. I do have a SUPER hard time making phone calls, I can recommend 5calls.org (or the app) and their scripts for when I know I would not be able to produce coherent sentences or refrain from using “fuck” like a comma.

IF YOU ARE IN ONE OF THESE DISTRICTS PLEASE MAKE A CALL RIGHT NOW DOES NOT MATTER IF YOUR VOICE SHAKES CALL AND SAY YOU OPPOSE BBB Scripts here: 5calls.org

Republicans won’t share the stories of their constituents who will be harmed by their “Big, Beautiful Bill,” so Leader Jeffries is doing it for them. I’ve been on the Floor watching and listening since he started at 4:53AM. He’s still going. WATCH ⬇️ www.c-span.org/event/us-hou...
