309 million #IdaBWells quarters created so far! My great-grandmother will inspire generations of leaders. www.coinnews.net/2025/06/24/u...

Crazy how these gazillionaires have more money than they can spend on 25 lifetimes, yet are STILL MAD! 😳

I said it! "While too many politicians are trying to please their corporate constituents, and corporate leaders are trying to please their shareholders, everyday working folks...are left to fend for themselves." #WeDone @RebelliousMag rebelliousmagazine.com/black-women-...

Apparently the GOP doesn't think government should do anything to help anyone who needs any type of assistance or support--students, the poor, sick, elderly, unemployed, disabled, immigrants, hourly workers, or victims of natural disasters. And 77M voted for this.

So fitting that my great-grandmother #IdaBWells, who exposed the truth about lynching & fought against racial injustice, has been honored by the US Mint. Despite efforts to erase the past, we know what really happened. We live with it. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/02/14/o...

Anti-DEI folks need to be consistent in erasing Black & Brown folks. Stop enjoying our creations. rebelliousmagazine.com/dei-diversit...

Welp. The USA was only the closest to a true democracy for all of 60 years (1965-2025).

By getting the full weight of the states and national government behind them, white men have shown that the only way they feel it's possible for them to succeed is to eliminate EVERYONE else from competing. Sad.

White mediocrity & ignorance will be the downfall of the US.

It's been 10 days. GOP Congress members, Supreme Court, many in legacy media, corporate leaders, wealthy donors, and 77 million voters are responsible for normalizing a felon who has caused what we're going through.
