Happy Birthday Stevie don't forget I am your most loyal fan

I'm always happy to see when urban government officials understand root causes and work toward addressing them

It’s the desire to deny these things to certain people that makes people simply existing “political,” but then that too is projected onto people who, once again, are just trying to live and must demand the things they need to do so.

Our existence as free people is the provocation that centrists think we should pull back on

Those of us who called this administration racist from day one were called alarmist and worse. Now they are just dumping sewage in Black neighborhoods, as was common during Jim Crow and those same folks are quite. Also, shout out to all the academics with “sincere concerns” about DEI.

Literally visibly rotting for the whole world to see

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

I want my neighbors to bring in their pittie puppy for the night, she clearly doesn't enjoy being outside alone and is making it all of our problems

I won't not be mad at everything for a while but my weekly calls with my uncle to help work on our family history has been so grounding. My dad's side of the family was such a mess lol. What do you mean your uncle's 2nd wife decided to exclude his first family from his obituary on purpose

It’s funny because the hegemonic belief is that reparations for the descendants of the enslaved is totally impractical.

If you have a little coin to help bail out some mommas today, please do so

Like every Mother's Day today I am asking that you consider a donation to @nationalbailout.bsky.social to help free mamas who are separated from their families by the injustices of pretrial detention systems. secure.actblue.com/donate/freeb...

To all my fellow moms, however you define the role, I hope you have a wonderful day today 💐

Nextdoor vibes slowly creeping into the r/Detroit subreddit

Randomly remembering Prince Fielder's walk-up song was Soul Glow

Anyone who tells you that we should engage to find good faith solidarity with Tucker or MTG is probably just doing politics as pro wrestling, where finding yourself a storyline is your job, or they are, at the very least, indifferent to antisemitism.

JK Rowling is now represented by a trans person in the Scottish parliament. Absolutely incredible.

White apathy outside of Southern states played a big role in instituting Jim Crow the first time. It is also true, even if the concern is partisanship, that the VRA was fundamental to national Democratic competitiveness, so this is an existential threat to the party too.

To date, the lowest bail we have paid was $380 in Memphis, Tennessee, and the highest was $20,000 in San Francisco, California. Bail is not a public safety issue. It's a who has money issue. 👀 Join us as we get more Black mamas and caregivers home. 💕 #FreeBlackMamas at bit.ly/freeblackmamas2026

Read him for filth and kept on

that the virginia supreme court allowed the referendum to go forward - they could have stopped it - and then ruled this way really gives up the game the only difference between now and then is that the we know the result and they didn't like it

virginia voters should call their delegates and senators and demand that they ignore this illegitimate ruling

I tried to warn everyone what the Roberts Court was about almost ten years ago www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The NAACP has filed a lawsuit to block Tennessee's attempt to remove the only majority-Black congressional district in the state

The Trump Administration has been using law enforcement to target elected leaders, particularly Black elected leaders, since they singled out Ras Baraka and LaMonica McIver when they tried to inspect a detention center.

It’s striking that the Supreme Court decision in Louisiana v. Callais is in some ways worse than even the "pessimistic" predictions of folks writing about race. Yet, not a single reactionary centrist has admitted that the alleged excesses of "wokeness" weren't excessive. They were realistic.

My mother's tablet is so gross. Why is there grape jelly at the charge port

Trying to calm my nerves and hey Gene Harris can be pretty cruel on them keys what do you think

I been battling anger all week. If cancer didn't exist, my father, born in the Jim Crow South, would still be here. I'm talking to his sister and brother weekly. His brother is in his mid-70s and is healthy and of sound mind. They are still here, about to go back to it. Why?

I've had my second dream in a week where I'm harvesting from my garden and I am SO SICK of this up and down weather 😠 I wanna put my hands in the dirt!

I'm sure he does

I used to do this to my niece with the recycling dumpster at Kroger

When I said this a few years ago people insisted I was fear mongering. No, I just listened to the actual words that were being said by the architects and supporters of this disaster

I wish that Mexican place I just found out about was open for breakfast

This is the problem they want to fix.

If a governor cancels elections within 24 hours of being given permission to draw new districts to eliminate Black voting power, is that enough for a headline to call it "racist" or is it still "racially charged" and "racially tinged" and "what some suggest is racially motivated"

Black Louisianans have suffered more than their share in this country just since Hurricane Katrina There are still people who are displaced. Dead people who should be alive. People who never got their money. Who never recovered what they lost That injustice of that magnitude is tolerated is gross

Most of the major policies and laws created to protect Black people from white supremacy are now GONE or so severely weakened to the point of being nearly ineffective. Voting rights. Affirmative Action. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Equal Employment Opportunity. It’s infuriating.

Senator Slotkin has not, on this platform at least, addressed the Supreme Court's hollowing out of the VRA.

A lot of people’s ideas of what Black people should “just do” lets you know how dumb they must really think we are.

The funniest VRA takes are the people who think it’s only going to affect the South, as if black folks (and other minorities) have historically been allowed to set up little peaceful regimes with equal representation and free pop tarts elsewhere

And what is your proposal, Senator?

Haha (so fucking angry I can barely see straight 👍)

BREAKING: Michigan’s gas price average Thursday was $4.58 a gallon, but some gas stations are close or already more than $5 a gallon.

Worked all day yesterday on the best dinner I've made in a while to make my mother happy only for her to fall asleep on it and me being stuck in bed the next morning. Why do I do anything lol

Oh is that what he's doing, Senator?
