All the suggestions from librarians are good. You might also want to check out Haymarket Press, which is based in Chicago. They periodically have collections of free or very cheap ebooks from their recommended reading lists. www.haymarketbooks.org

I’ve watched white people largely ignore them purge Black jobs and try to bring segregation back. They lost their shit over Jimmy Kimmel and Disney. No one wants to hear that’s the minimum intensity of sustained action it’s going to take to stop fascism. If you can do it for Kimmel, you can do it.

Look at this useless entitled twat. Mad because white folks are ineffective and selfish including him. You came into my post you stupid cunt. You piss off. Typical pick me interjecting yourself into shit and then get mad when nobody wants to put up with your nonsense.

Has anyone asked the Greeks how they feel about this? Have the descendants of Homer weighed in?

Even Rachel Dolezal didn’t win an Oscar! Just do an ancestry dna and put it rest.

What white people fear is the end of systems that enrich white families for being white. White people have normalized the idea government is supposed to transfer wealth from non-white people to white people. They (white people) feel very insecure about a world without this advantage.

It really irks me that my library on the south side of Chicago almost never has the books of many Black female authors I see on here. Unfortunately, books are financially a luxury for me but it feels like punishing poor people by robbing us of the opportunity to read books by ppl who look like us.

Black folks: VRA, DEI, unemployment, racism, and apartheid Brown folks: ICE, DACA, deportations, racism, and genocide White folks: Colbert, streaming playoff games and bike lanes

If you all were as angry, sad and enraged about the state of democracy as you are about Colbert, Colbert would still be on the air.

This is Rue in Hunger Games And Halle Barry as Little Mermaid While it’s not true to the description in the tale, the tale is a tale. The ppl in GoT don’t look like the book either who cares, it’s not a real tale. It’s not like a white man playing Jesus or…

I wonder what foreigners think we they see the POTUS call a reporter Piggy or a Bitch or a stupid person. I don’t know what normal is anymore but you all have to think this is some abnormal shit.

“You are our activators. We want you to activate everybody in your neighborhood.” Tomorrow, we’re joining Black-led civil and voting rights organizations for a national day of action. We won’t stand by while the GOP rips away representation from Black communities: blackpowerwarroom.com/dayofaction/

And I don’t have a problem with it! 🤷🏽‍♂️ I am glad that they are waking up. ✅ Now if only Boomers would wake up! 👀 #Boomers #Millennials #ReeseWaters

John Lewis encouraged us to march with a spirit of love and dignity in the heat of oppression. He called it good trouble. He showed us that resistance and joy are not opposites — they are the same thing. Tomorrow, we carry that spirit in Selma. We got us. #Alabama https://bit.ly/4nv4KND

Real talk.

You didn’t fail. No matter what we’ve done, you have not only survived, you’ve thrived. Built communities, wealth. Conquered the arts, sciences, etc. You’ve never “stayed in your place”, no matter the (made by us) obstacles. And we stew in it.

I think Black folks are entering the anger stage of grief. What is this all about? I know Black folks can tell me but can white people? youtu.be/bKuW4m4QzNE?...

“Why do I have to step out of the car officer?” Just because you said so is not a law. They still doing this shit and yall worried about a fucking game on Amazon and Colbert. Fucking hate yall. youtu.be/-Duj4ZNL0K4?...

I need guys, especially white guys, to understand that Dems hold political power and often refuse to use it to defend and stick up for marginal groups for a marginalized person, having the power and staying silent or ambivalent to their respective plight is *the same as* welding power against them

Dick doctor podcaster leading hantavirus charge! Nothing to worry about bc it’s not highly communicable, however you have to be worried considering who is in charge. I’m sure there were no qualified women or POC. newrepublic.com/post/210513/...

This is going to stick with me for the rest of my life. Legally teeth are a luxury.

Please watch and share. We must protect Alisa-Valdez Rodriguez! Alisa-Valdez Rodriguez has single-handedly exposed the depth of Epstein's reach and connections in New Mexico that allowed him to abuse girls for years. Now, Democrats want to silence her. thelefthook.substack.com/p/the-epstei...

Maybe this will put me in a better mood because reading about Wilmington got me in a stank ass mood

Markwayne is saying arrests at the World Cup are “not off the table” while saying the Gestapo won’t have a presence there out the other side of his face. DO NOT COME HERE IT IS NOT SAFE!!!!

I wonder if I should slow down on reading Black History and feminist texts. The more I learn the more angry I get.

That stinky horseshoe stays on my nerves

Chief Judge Charles Beach of the Circuit Court of Cook County reminded the public last week of their right to appear virtually for some kinds of civil and criminal proceedings. The full language explaining those options can be found here:

We’re not going back to the Jim Crow era. Join us in the streets in defense of our voting rights in Montgomery, Alabama, this Saturday at 1:00pm CT.

If you went to court with trumps MoCA scores and his entire psychological and cognitive profile, they would grant guardianship and require a substitute decision maker and power of attorney. Instead he gets the nuclear codes.

Okay BS, What have I ever said to make you think I was a vegetarian? I’ve had to block a vegan site and PETA today.

Is Trump mentally ill? Most likely What we are seeing isn’t mental illness. It is dementia, a physiological change in brain function. His brain is shrinking, he can’t get better w/meds & a therapist. This is neurodegenerative & will worsen. He is a legally incompetent decision maker & needs a POA

Explaining colorism & the entitlement of light skin within the Black community to my white therapist was pretty funny yet therapeutic. I enjoyed being able to unpack it w/o being concerned if my therapist was light or dark skinned and how I phrase it. Never thought I’d find refuge in a white woman 🤣

The anniversary of the MOVE bombing. America attacking Black people in a city with brutal imperial force.

The Black folks are just lumped in under the “Squad.” Really should name all of them if AOC is named. Especially in this moment. Especially when very problematic white guy who hasn’t even won primary yet gets a mention. Every single member of Squad actually got elected to Congress.

How utterly insane is this? 🤬 It’s in court documents for goodness sake! 🤯 #MaxMilleroh #GoP #ReeseWaters

Texas is a goddamn mess and I’m speaking as a Californian where a White billionaire who has never held office is being held as “more progressive” than the Latino candidate that makes his resume look like a business card. They really couldn’t find anybody else for this? 🙄 🎥: blackgirlswhobrunch 🔥👏🏼

Closed mouths don’t get fed. And we tired of fending for us and y’all. You better learn how to speak up.

I am worrying more & more about Dems. Y’all accept things from preferred candidates you would lose your minds over if it was maga. He stretched the truth to say the least and now they wanna talk semantics bc of the degrees? He implied he practiced medicine but he was a student. He isn’t trustworthy.

Checking at its finest! 😂 #Tennessee Don't Mess With #Memphis #votingrights #redistricting #gerrymandering #ReeseWaters

Argentina is experiencing a sharp rise in hantavirus cases Not only is the Argentine team defending champions—the Albiceleste dramatically won the 2022 title in Qatar, and sits in third place in FIFA's current world rankings. This may be Lionel Messi's final time playing in the tournament.

What in the actual fuck are we doing here people!

Bullshit!

French hantavirus patient is critically ill, on an artificial lung as total cases grow to 11

Proud Zionist block freely

Today, I joined @repbonnie.bsky.social @menendez.house.gov to make one thing clear: we will expose all abuses ICE is trying to keep in the dark. The Trump administration is trying to block oversight and intimidate critics. My new bill protects our right to hold leaders accountable.
