It's funny to me how often (mostly white) people expect Black women to lead without an actual leadership position--or the money, power, or prestige that comes along with those leadership roles.🤔

2026 is already stressful for me. 🙁

You know what's ironic? The people who are the most pissed at her right now are the very same people who wouldn't support an immigrant being deported over her political beliefs. Guess who *is* signing that petition?

It wained and everything is a slushy mess! Except me! Only my face and tail needed a blowout. I hope it wains weally hard tonight so there’s less fireworks! #ContessaLucia

I'm gonna order some Chinese and call it a night. Those ADHD meds have me crashing in the early evening.

Contrary to popular belief, the last day of the first millennium wasn't December 31, 1999. Because there was no year 0, the second millennium didn't officially begin until 2001. That said, the last day of the first millennium was #25yearsagotoday. #xyearsagotoday

TFW you successfully resist the urge to nod off/take a nap earlier in the evening and now feel wide awake when you are preparing for bed.

She was roasting her cousin on her death bed. Poor woman. Rest In Peace, Tatiana.

#200yearsagotoday, The Treaty of St. Louis was proclaimed. It was signed on behalf of the US by William Clark of Lewis and Clark fame and delegates of the Shawnee Nation. The treaty had the Shawnee cede land in exchange for $11,000. #xyearsagotoday

A must-read article that lays bare a ruthless & authoritarian William who’s got the British press firmly under this thumb. The gullible masses are in for a rude awakening when this monster they helped to create finally ascends to the throne. Article 👉 archive.md/M33Hu

Don’t wait for a death in your life to remind yourself of what truly matters

Do they have a GoFundMe or something? They should be paid for doing the right thing.

Told you Nina Trump Turner was anti-Black, She's now attacking her savior Mamdani for endorsing Hakeem Jeffries for speaker. I've said it before, these leftist are not progressives" they're fascist

Nothing says "publisher prepping for 2026" like adding "Both of us promise to never never NEVER use genAI in this project, and if either of us do, deal's fuck'n OFF" clause to your publishing contracts.

Is the soft launch for 2028? 🥹🙏🏽

Seen on the other site: "Bernie never ended up becoming President but he did something far greater: launch a movement that will outlive him and fundamentally transform the trajectory of the US forever" I actually agree. Because "downward" is also a trajectory.

#190yearsagotoday, The Dade Massacre took place in Florida. Two US Army companies were ambushed by Seminoles led by Osceola. The assault, precipitated by the encroachment of white settlers on Indigenous land, kicked off the Second Seminole War which lasted until 1842. #xyearsagotoday

As seen in my neighborhood earlier today.

LMAOOOOO OK let me take a break from posting for a few hours. Family's coming over soon, so I need to get in the right frame of mind. Social media isn't helpful.

So he can brag about all he's done for "the Blacks."

This shit scares the fuck out of me. I watch these videos so I know how to prepare for what's coming up. But, it drives my ever preset anxiety thru the stratosphere. youtu.be/YesTo11t3iA?...

2025 will be over in less than a week. Why did this year feel like a whole ass decade?

#85yearsagotoday, "The Philadelphia Story" premiered in New York. Starring Katherine Hepburn, the film was based on the life of Helen Hope Montgomery Scott, a Philadelphia socialite. The film won 2 Oscars and was selected for preservation in the US National Film Registry in 1995. #xyearsagotoday

I hope everyone is setting aside time to just rest and recharge--if only for a few minutes.

Fair enough. But why are you refusing to trust the many Epstein victims who HAVEN'T accused Clinton of sexually assaulting them? "Believe women" also applies when accusations *aren't* made.

I didn’t go because it started raining. And I didn’t order delivery because fuck Uber Eats. (pay your fucking employees!) But guess what? THEY’RE OPEN TOMORROW!!! So my ass will be on the road for the best Thai food in Houston!

This is what I was talking about.

🔥🧵

There was consensual sex between Lewinsky and Bill Clinton consisting of a BJ. Why aren't you believing what she testified to? Are you saying Lewinsky lied to the FBI? Everything has been investigated. Some Republicans have made millions just saying they'll investigate the Clintons.

It’s already 25 December here in Sydney & Santa and the reindeers definitely enjoyed the cookies & carrots! 🍪🥕MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!🎉🎄🧑‍🎄Being part of this Squad is truly one of my favourite things. Thank you for always standing up for justice & fairness. ⚖️✊ LoveAlwaysWins💕

This makes too much sense, friend.😭

The only class is race. It's why poor white people keep electing rich white people who make sure the poor stay poor. That you need to lie about this shows you are just an idiot.

Oh, last time I remember Chris Evans trending, it was because he "accidentally" posted an impressive dick pic publicly. And that's honestly not something I say about dick pics... ever. Is it too much to hope for another Christmas miracle?!? Come on, Santa...

Egg nog with an irresponsible amount of caramel vodka is a perfectly appropriate thing to have for breakfast at 9:00-something am on Christmas Eve. And I don't care what anyone says. I'm willing to die on this hill. Ideally not of alcohol poisoning, because... ya know... the irony.

Fair enough. But why are you refusing to trust the many Epstein victims who HAVEN'T accused Clinton of sexually assaulting them? "Believe women" also applies when accusations *aren't* made.

Dissecting this Gish Gallop. "Years of sexual assault allegations" There was one SA allegation. The person who made it won't vouch for it under oath. Why? Because she's repeatedly denied it under oath. Even Ken Starr, who was feverishly looking for Clinton dirt, refused to use her as a witness.

Never Ever let a lowlife tells you that voting doesn't matter! #MaceoSnipes🙏🙏🙏🙏

Um, no. Fuck that and the men who don't think sexual assault/abuse is worth ruining careers.
