If “all lives matter” excludes Black lives, trans lives, LGBTQ lives, women, abused children, and disabled people, then it was never about all lives.

Being homeless doesn’t mean you deserve to die. It doesn’t mean you deserve to be mistreated. It means you deserve housing. Period.

I hate texting certain people because I know they are going to call me. Like, if I wanted to speak on the phone I would’ve called you in the first place.

Black women hold the most degrees of any group of women, and also carry the most student loan debt. Cancel it all.

Black love is a love worth fighting for.

Loved this set. Recommended for children over 3 is wild though. 🤣

Community is a verb. Mutual aid is the practice of communities meeting each other’s needs without waiting for permission. Even though it’s warming up, it’s still below 32 degrees. Too cold for anyone experiencing homelessness to be outside.

We want to save as many people as possible from sleeping in tents during Cold blue weather. 12 degrees. 6 degrees. We want to fund a transportation project to bring them to a warming center. Help us. www.zeffy.com/en-US/donati...

Not only is ICE in New Jersey, but its unbridled violence is here as well. ICE cannot exist without violence. Safety will not come from body-worn cameras, better training, or unmasked agents. It comes from no agents at all, the abolition of ICE, and preventing the creation of anything similar.

So cold, I’m under the covers mad at Adam for eating that damn apple.

“Even with a historic overall drop, racial disparities persist. The stigma of being black. the stigma of being poor. the stigma of being a person who uses drugs. the stigma of being formerly incarcerated. The stigma of being a sex worker. The stigma of being Black and trying to survive.“

My team at BLM Paterson joined others today in Trenton to testify in support of a bill to return money stolen by politicians from the Opioid Settlement Fund. The bill was passed by the committee. 🫶🏾

I was trying to figure out if why I even asked folks to rate how happy they were and why I didn’t rate a high number for myself. Saw the calendar and it’s the anniversary of my father’s passing. His birthday is in two days as well.

On a scale of 1-10, how happy are you? Genuinely. Not responding how you think you should, but honestly.

Haven’t watched the SuperBowl since they did Kaepernick dirty. Be blessed.

AA works for some people. That does not mean it works for everyone. Stop insisting one recovery model be treated as universal.

Ordered pizza. They left it outside but didn’t ring the door bell. It’s froze within 5 minutes. 🤣

Just because a ceasefire was reached doesn’t mean Israel has stopped killing Palestinians. The only thing that stopped is the news coverage.

It sounds like I’m exaggerating but I don’t remember it ever being this cold in New Jersey.

The world Black people deserve won’t be built by creation alone. If the institutions that can destroy Black Wall Street still exist, nothing we build is safe.

Honestly, I haven’t been the same since.

It was extremely cold out tonight as we distributed food and supplies. 25 degrees. But we were only outside for an hour, our community members experiencing homelessness have to be outside for longer. We all deserve warm shelter.

Free my people from the shackles of Facebook AI trends.

You may not always feel it, but you are lovable and worthy of love.

Hailey Buzbee, a Fishers teen who's been missing for almost a month, is dead, the Fishers Police Department announced during a news conference the evening of Feb. 1. 39-year-old Tyler Thomas of Columbus is now in custody.

Put your faith in God, not people.

Happy Black History Month and stay out of Target.

You need to stop despising the people who can’t afford housing, and start despising the people who make housing unaffordable.

Sending love to Black people today on the first of February.

Musk is being dragged on his own app. A part of me thinks he is happy about it because it’s driving engagement on this dead bird app.

Free my people from the notion that law enforcement just needs to be trained better in order to stop killing and brutalizing people.

For those of you with parents still in your life, how often do you call them?

It’s dangerously cold in huge parts of the country right now. People are freezing outside while this country debates whether they “deserve” warmth.

Nothing says projection like inventing a pedophile conspiracy to distract from the fact that your movement is full of actual predators. The call was coming from inside the house.

Suddenly Elon Musk is no longer talking about the Epstein files. I wonder why he’s moved on?

Sometimes the only thing separating you from a person experiencing homelessness is a stable job and a support system. Will power has very little to do with it.

Fuck ICE and anyone who supports them.

Fantastic Four was a terrible movie.

ICE want you to hold them in high regard but not hold them to a high standard. It don’t work like that.

“Black people need some peace”

Abolish ICE and the police.

Enough said

Abolish ICE now and forever.

Government skepticism from the right disappears the moment the narrative benefits their politics.

It used to be seen as a conspiracy theory to suggest that the government lies to the public. That’s no longer the case. For many now it’s neither a conspiracy or a theory.

It’s 12 degrees out. Ahead of the winter storm about to hit the east coast. BLM Paterson distributed dinners, snacks, clothes, jackets, overdose prevention kits and safe sex kits. We keep us safe.

Rights that are applied selectively are not rights. They are instruments of power.
