"Abraham Lincoln and 600,000 white men died to end slavery!" False.... We freed ourselves

I’m not getting attention from the person I want it from and I’m about to make it everyone’s problem.

Weensey 🗣️ “SOME OF YOU NIGGAS AIN’T REAAAAAAL. REAAAAAAL. REAAAAAAL.” (Rent free.)

As go Black women, so goes America. This nation will never be “great” until it does right by us.

À réactivation of apartheid , now with the spectre of “fascism” and survival work . Black women are often doing the exact same care work And work work But now unstructured and under malice

You are a NEWS AGENCY!!! YOU DO NOT TEST A CEASEFIRE!!!! THEY HAVE VIOLATED IT OVER AND OVER!!!!!!

AOC on MTG retiring: "She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office."

“If your crime is being poor, you won’t be able to get your record clear because it’s costly,” said Sheena Meade of the Clean Slate Initiative. “You have to get an attorney, you have to jump through hoops, you have to take off work — it’s just really complicated.”

It should be a federal crime to make a television with only two HDMI ports. I have three gaming consoles and a soundbar and you come to me with two HDMI ports?

I hope every sensitive lover girl (including myself) finds her reassuring lover boy who treats her like she's a gift from heaven and like God personally handed her heart to him

I hope her father saw this and is fighting for custody. She is not safe there.

Unhinged.

Hurricane Melissa has touched Jamaica, Haiti, Dominican Republic, and is now headed to Cuba, Bahamas, and Turks and Caicos. The Caribbean will need help, but the Caribbean remains strong.

This is a sitting president endorsing the assassination of a former president. Sending a signal that he will protect violence and criminality against all his perceived enemies. This is horrifying.

This is crazy.

I started a Kickstarter to help support an anthology about a magical black hair salon that I'm working on putting together with a bunch of other black authors. Feel free to support or share :) #Blackbooksky #blackindie #bookrecs #booksky www.kickstarter.com/projects/rid...

“Fastest accumulation of $1 Trillion in debt outside of the pandemic…” But at least the rich got their tax cuts, right @MarshaBlackburn? With Inequality at gilded age levels. PSA: They don’t care about the debt and never did.

I don’t even qualify for food assistance but watching people argue about people starving is NASTY WORK…food and housing should be a human right…especially being the wealthiest country in the world..

Be soft with her, you ain’t even that tough, nigga

(consistently)

Thank you, Mayor Brandon. 🗣️WORDS MEAN THINGS! Honor people’s humanity!

Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

Will someone please add this to the list?

Over the past 2 days, I have been touched by w/ your dedicated support & care. We are $5054.00 away from covering the judgment. Today's ask: Can you share this w/ your mutual aid networks, friends, family members, or other trusted individuals who might be able to help? gofund.me/1c444e25f

It would be terrible if folks called Mike Johnson's offices daily demanding that Grijalva be sworn in during the pro forma session.

Free Congo too man.. there has to be a humane/ sustainable way to source materials for our tech smh

Saying this just for clarification of the headline and not in any way as a defense of Newsom (who should have signed these bill): the ones he declined to sign or veto still become law because that's how it works in California

hi, cis folks in california! this headline leaves out that newsom has another 5 days to sign these bills into law. if you’d like to tell him he should do that to protect trans californians, you should to reach out. he also has a phone: (916) 445-2841 want to know what to say? next post! 🧵

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that all these data centers are going into communities that have been historically targeted for exploitation and have the least amount of civic power wielded by the people living there. wordinblack.com/2025/09/alab...

Let me be clear: It’s ILLEGAL to deny federal workers back pay after a shutdown. There’s a 2019 law that guarantees it, but Trump is once again trying to break the law. You don’t get to punish people for doing their jobs just because you’re failing at yours.

I’m really curious how much more people need to hear before they get angry “enough”. Every clip, sound bite, memo, “executive order”, enrages me so badly I feel like my brain is short circuiting. 🫨🥴

Your Prime Day reminder that Amazon... -Provides cloud services that help fuel ICE's deportation machine -Donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration fund -Scrapped plans to display tariff costs after pressure from Trump -Shelled out $40M for a documentary about Melania Trump

This nigga different…….. “Choosing Your Witness”

Reminder that we still don’t know what happened to the 1,000 immigrants who went missing from Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and attorneys can’t locate them. They’ve been disappeared. People are still being sent to that horrible place without any due process.

The government is officially shut down. Make no mistake: Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. This is THEIR shutdown. They had every tool to govern and chose chaos instead. The American people are the ones paying the price.

White people be SO BORED

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.

I’m so exhausted by racism man. We could actually have nice things…

The truth here is so ever relevant, is so simple and profound. I think I might pop it into my next book. Sharing yet again:

Great piece by Charlie McGill about the one place in the country experiencing a recession right now: the DC metro area, which after the federal worker purge is seeing the beginnings of mass migration and a real estate collapse. prospect.org/politics/202...

Is your congressional representative a Republican? Have you called them yet and told them you don’t want this bill? 202-224-3121

Summer is here. Get chu a summer romance. Go places, do stuff, be up under the air conditioner sipping prosecco nude and laughing with each other.

Cutting Medicaid and food and nutrition programs while pushing his latest corrupt grift: a $249 perfume. Tells you everything you need to know about Trump's priorities: Donald Trump first, everyone else (except his sweet-smelling billionaire buddies) last.

Society is already going to shit, you might as well fall in love.

And what’s wild about this is it’s kind of related to this exact moment. White folks learn no lessons in this country and in fact encourage this shit. Should have been shut down officially after Reagan but nooooo. Propaganda feeds their ugly souls.

We’d have housing and food for all. We’d also be helping other countries instead of ripping resources from them.
