Here's a presser from earlier today I think on the Renee Good situation. This is people locally and on the ground. @roseyroseamund.bsky.social

Hey white women you proud of yourselves? Enjoy the country YOU created. Have fun getting sh0t.

I just have zero interest in garnering support from ANYONE who looked and trump and said "yeah okay" Your judgement is fucked. Your education is non existent. Your arrogance is enormous. You're a piece of shit and I know all this by your vote. Not interested in "getting" ppl who ignore rape.

1. The DOJ has not released 99% of the Epstein Files, in direct violation of the law They claim the delay is necessary to review the files But here is the thing: The DOJ previously claimed THE REVIEW WAS COMPLETE IN JULY

John Haubaugh was a good HC. His record speaks for itself. Ravens fans, like all other fan base, wanna throw the HC out if they part their hair wrong. The question is.....who's next? There's no guarantee the next guy is better. Be careful what you holla for....🏈 #BlueSky #NFL #Sports

Fam! Don't miss tonight's interview I did in December 2019 with Richard Smallwood regarding his autobiography, "Total Praise." It's a fascinating conversation as we pay homage to the gospel maestro, who passed away last week at the age of 77.

The following corrections on the short list: The McCarran-Walter Act is 1952, not 1552. Anti- Drug Abuse Act should be 1986. Defense of Marriage Act should be 1996.

From slavery to surveillance, America’s laws have often codified exclusion. This timeline traces how legislation has targeted marginalized communities — not just in the past, but right now. None of these laws excluded straight White people. Ever. Who wants tea? It's hot.🔥☕️

Idiots who voted for him in 2024 let him back into the White House and he promptly pardoned the mostly white domestic terrorists who tried to storm the US Capitol. #NeverForget

Five years ago today, the Thug-In-Chief Donald Trump, led an insurrection against the United States. He was impeached by Dems in the House, but Senate Republicans - led by Mitch McConnell - had NO GUTS and chose not to convict.

We will honor Smallwood, who passed away on Dec. 30, by airing the interview Tuesday at 8 pm EST following the conclusion of #RolandMartinUnfiltered on the Black Star Network. Watch at Youtube.com/RolandSMartin or on the BSN app. #BlackOwnedMediaMatters

On Dec. 16, 2019, I taped an interview with Richard Smallwood about his autobiography, “Total Praise.” It was supposed to run on Feb. 14, 2020, but the file was mislabeled and it never ran. I found it today.

I just heard you mention how they want us to be afraid. I thought of this that he said over the holidays @shawnarenee.bsky.social

FYI: According to the federal DEA, China is the primary source of fentanyl in the United States. We haven’t bombed China nor arrested its leader. www.dea.gov/sites/defaul...

Keep this in mind going foward. He just said this over the holidays and 🍊/Conservatives are wasting no time. Beware of the distractions. @roseyroseamund.bsky.social @ektashahmd.bsky.social @eddsmitty.bsky.social @mrmannswife.bsky.social @cutes118.bsky.social #BlueSky #BlackSky #Venezuela

And so egregious, I have yet to see anyone question why indictment justifies the capture of a foreign president while our president is a convicted felon who has never served a day for his crimes. We somehow feel that distasteful or irrelevant and this is the problem right here. Is this objective??

I’ve seen the continued repeating of Trump’s claim that the US is reclaiming its stolen oil and no questions on that framing and no explanation of whether that claim is true or not.

The questions begin with WILL regime change be successful not how is it legal or ethical to orchestrate a coup and who are we to decide when leadership most go and who are we to believe we have rights to a sovereign nation’s resources.

So many in media are ill-equipped to interview officials about what’s happening because they begin with the presumption of legitimacy and don’t know enough about history or U.S. foreign policy to foment intelligent pushback and hold officials accountable.

where a group of Black and White locals physically fought off a slaveholder & his party who were trying to capture four men. The Act backfired. By bringing the brutality of slavery to Northern doorsteps, it radicalized a generation. ✊🏿✊🏻 #KeepItWoke #DedicatedToTam✡️🕊 www.thoughtco.com/the-christia...

to police or watchmen who might be acting as "Slave Catchers." They tracked bounty hunters, and even staged daring courthouse rescues. The law intended to crush resistance, but it only made it louder. One of the most famous incidents was the Christiana Riot in Pennsylvania,(cont)

Thousands of Black people felt so unsafe in the U.S. that they fled further north to Canada. Those who remained formed vigilance committees with the help of White abolitionists. In cities like Boston, members would post handbills warning "Colored People" to avoid talking (cont)

Free Black communities in the North lived in constant fear of the "Reverse Underground Railroad." Famous cases like Solomon Northup proved that legal "freedom" meant nothing to a bounty hunter looking for a payday. Northup was literally kidnapped. (cont) blackpast.org/african-amer...

The system was rigged by design. Federal commissioners were paid $10 to rule a person was a "runaway," but only $5 to rule them free. This financial incentive turned the courtroom into a marketplace for human lives. Nowhere was safe. Nowhere.😢(cont) www.worldhistory.biz/contemporary...

⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️ 🧵 The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 was supposed to end the problem of runaway slaves once and for all—but it didn't. There's a lot of moving parts here. Pull up a seat.🪑 (cont) #ProudBlue #ResistanceRoots #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory thisdayofhistory.com/2025/09/17/s...

Enter the slave catchers. Armed with federal warrants, these bounty hunters didn't need a jury. A simple affidavit from a slaveholder was enough to drag someone South–true story! Black people were legally barred from testifying in their own defense.(cont) www.encyclopedia.com/humanities/a...

The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 wasn't just a law; it was a federal endorsement of kidnapping. It turned the North into a hunting ground and forced every citizen to become a participant in the machinery of slavery. It led to the rise of Northern abolitionists.(cont) www.britannica.com/topic/abolit...

This is a great article. It explains how whitewashing history harms not only marginalized groups but also those who view the world through a white-centric lens. If we want to solve today’s tensions, we have to stop ignoring yesterday’s truths. deepwatermichigan.com/the-psycholo...

CBS News in 2016..... They love 🇺🇸 so much that they helped a fascist become POTUS by giving him billions of dollars in free media coverage..... #BlueSky #Lies #TurnOffMSM

@ektashahmd.bsky.social I went to go look up the exit poll results of the NYC mayoral race and like near 2/3 of Jews there voted for Cuomo and the remaining 1/3 went Mamdani. There's other factors in those lines but that's interesting to know and wild to unpack.

@mrmannswife.bsky.social Hey I put this together and thought of you lol. Your Gif game be on point 😂. Maybe you might wanna use this.

It's really this simple.... When #MLKDay, #Juneteenth, #BlackHistoryMonth, and other of fight for civil rights, voting rights, human rights in 🇺🇸 roll around.... You can't honor #MLK and don't show up & push and advocate for the things and ppl he stood and died for. Spitting in our faces. Nah.

This is from Dr. King said this in his final book "Chaos or Community: Where Do We Go From Here?" Worse selling book of his life amongst the worse times of it. He was deeply unpopular at the time. Yet, he continued to speak truth to power to the end. He knew. #BlueSky #BlackSky #MLKDay

Lawsuits were filed decades later, but dismissed due to statutes of limitations. The city of Philadelphia gave an apology in 2022, but it will never heal the pain and suffering. Corporations got rich. Black test subjects got nothing. #KeepItWoke #DedicatedToTam✡️🕊 quillette.com/2022/12/10/t...

experiments its “lasting shame.” But survivors have never received justice, and the institutions that profited have never fully reckoned with their role. This was the systematic use of Black bodies as disposable test material for corporate, academic, and government gain. (cont)

Ten prisoners — most of them Black — were injected in their lower backs with: - Talcum powder - Chrysotile asbestos - Tremolite asbestos They were paid as little as $10. Chrysotile asbestos is the most dangerous form, linked to cancers like mesothelioma. (cont)

that particular experiment? Johnson & Johnson. It surfaced when court documents were unsealed during talcum powder litigation. The BMJ reported that Johnson & Johnson funded the study, paying Kligman to compare the effects of its talc with two forms of asbestos. (cont)
