It makes me so happy to read that an indie Black newsroom is experiencing audience growth, especially right now, especially for Black Chicago. ✨

New from me: The same tactics marketers use to get you to find their toothbrushes or photography business on Google were also used by Jeffrey Epstein & co. to try to launder his reputation online. SEO to try to cover up the most infamous pedophile ring. www.theverge.com/report/82231...

#blacksky To my charlotte peeps please repost. There’s icy conditions in these areas. If you can help these businesses please do. Not sure if they’re closed or not. But they could use some help. Stay safe in these charlotte streets. Gastonia too.

#blacksky To my charlotte peeps. PLEASE REPOST THIS. They are in Gastonia as well. Please be careful y’all. Please stay safe. They are like roaches here. Crawling around everywhere. Stay home if you can.

My office is calling upon the federal government to extend TPS to Jamaicans to help keep people safe. Hurricane Melissa has caused unimaginable damage to our neighbors in Jamaica. Forcing Jamaicans in the US to return home would be dangerous. This is what TPS was intended for.

I love this story😂😂😂

Horrific treatment. I saw that intake person got fired which is good but there's a systemic problem at that hospital for this to be allowed. Fuck them all. I hope the family sues them into oblivion.

I'm sure it's coincidental that most of the *anti-woke* people are also racist.

I love her. And Mike Leigh. www.theguardian.com/stage/2025/n...

Dems: Mamdani is too radical for our taste. Plus someone said he's antisemitic. And that name is scary to us! We need to keep him out. Dems, 1 week later: Look lots of people have tattoos like that Dems, 2 weeks later: Marjorie Taylor Greene, welcome to the Tent

Thanksgiving with the White Liberals, David Kelley-style lol

"Living at multiple axes of oppression can be heavy. The many identities you hold and your lived experiences are not in conflict with each other; they make you sharp, whole, and extraordinary. You may not see yourself that way yet, but I believe in you and who you will become.… (1/2)

holy shit: “Among the 2,000 UK adults surveyed, 85% were unaware that Britain forcibly transported more than 3 million Africans to the Caribbean, 89% did not know that Britain enslaved people in the Caribbean for more than 300 years” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

wait, I saw 'peril' earlier and just assumed 'oh bc they knew this was behavior that could get them in trouble' now that I see 'born in China' I'm like, bitch, did they mean YELLOW PERIL oh my God?

Summers called this female Chinese economist “peril.” “Yellow peril” was partially built on the claim that Chinese women were sexually immoral threats. That logic fueled the Page Act of 1875, which barred Chinese women by presuming they were prostitutes, even before the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act.

Hmm, this has no echoes of the Holocaust at all...

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans: Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet. So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

Part 146 of 200 in historically interesting things to inspire your ttrpg dnd A Men's gilded leather shoes from Norfolk, dating to 1890-1899 AD. Crafted with a blend of silvered leather, black silk brocade, and gold gilded accents.

“When the Border Patrol was created in 1924, white supremacists entered the agency, building the culture of xenophobia and impunity that exists to this day … CBP agents are arrested for criminal activity and corruption at a per-capita rate that exceeds any other federal agency.”

But wait! There's more. In 1972, the Apollo 16 astronauts put his spectroscope on the moon. For the first time, the first global images and spectra of Earth's far outer atmosphere, as well as unique images of stars, galaxies and interstellar gas.

:Becoming an expert in ultraviolet radiation, this brother led the team that developed the far ultraviolet camera. This electronically amplified photographic camera was first used in sounding rocket flights to study stars in 1966. In 1970, it made the first discovery of molecular hydrogen in space.

THREAD 🧵On November 11, 1969 Dr. George Carruthers patented an Image Converter that detected electromagnetic radiation. He also designed and invented a spectroscope that was placed on the moon and STILL WORKS TODAY. Who was Dr. George Carruthers? Glad you asked.

Also, the mayor of Charlotte is a Black woman: Vi Lyles. It’s interesting that the majority—if not all—the US cities subjected to these horrific ICE invasions have Black mayors. 🤔 www.charlottenc.gov/City-Governm... #AbolishICE #NorthCaolina

“There’re about a thousand of us.”

Disaster imperialism in full effect in Jamaica according to family there who tell me there is now a strong US military presence under the guise of aid including military planes, drones and helicopters. Please continue to support grassroots & mutual aid hurricane recovery efforts as you are able.
