People say abolish ICE, abolish the police, but as long as the system that created and allows them to act collectively with impunity is still functioning we will continue to see these problems generation after generation

“When the man becomes more oppressive he only heightens revolutionary fervor. So if things get worse for oppressed people they will feel the need for revolution and resistance. The people make revolution; the oppressors, by their brutal actions, cause resistance by the people.”

I haven’t forgotten about the Epstein Files. I never will forget about the Epstein Files. Every single survivor deserves justice. Leak the Epstein Files.

Officially less than 10% left in “Crime and Punishment” 😭😭 my current thought is that I feel more accomplished to have read it than happy that I did. It was fairly solid. The philosophical commentary was my favorite but quite a few parts dragged on with seemingly endless dialogue 😩 #booksky

Abolish. ice. 💔

ICE has detained at least 3,800 kids under the second Trump administration — more than 500 of whom were under 5 years old. Children shouldn't be locked up by our government.

They’ve officially broken TikTok 😭😭 never in my life has my algorithm been this random and hateful… wym I get two transphobic videos back to back???

“I have seen the destruction of the daylight, and seen bloodthirsty maggots prayed to and saluted. I have seen the kind become the blind and the blind become the bind in one easy lesson.” #Assata

The University of Arkansas rescinded a job offer for Emily Suski, a prospective law school dean, after she signed an amicus brief in our Supreme Court case supporting a transgender teen banned from playing sports. State officials can't punish public employees for their opinions and legal advocacy.

“Bribery and corruption, both moral and factual, have eaten into the whole fabric of our society and these must be stamped out if we are to achieve any progress.”

“I cannot sit idly by in Atlanta and not be concerned about what happens in Birmingham. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly.“ -Dr. MLK Jr

Winter=Litfic/ classics for me, but I occasionally dabble around in some fantasy and horror to switch it up #blackbooksky #booksky

15% into My Soul to Keep by Tananarive Due and am shocked this never came up in books to read after watching Sinners 🙌🏾 I’m locked in!

DELETED After lying about this baby they gassed and almost killed in their own neighborhood, DHS deleted their post

“Imperialism knows no law beyond its own interest and it is natural that despite the pretensions of its agents to justice and fair play, they always seek their interests first.”

“‘The Press in this country, as in any other country, can be a tremendous carrier of goodwill if it so wishes, or, it can just as easily follow a policy of racial division and all that policy entails…”

“Today every vice has reached its ruinous zenith.”

Please. I understand being upset in these times, but proclaiming this moment as “the most embarrassed you felt to be American” is flagrant.

“Once lost in Hades’ hall You will be homeless and invisible – Another shadow flittering back and forth with shadows of no worth.”

I’ve spent the last few years finding my love of reading again, but in the new year I want get back to watching films. Finally got around to watching “Malcolm X,” and I feel that old passion for film resurfacing

Reading Update 🥳😇 It’s been a great reading year, and I plan to finish it out strong 😤 I refuse to go into the new year still reading “Crime and Punishment.” #booksky

“I can’t see how the Americans can call this a land of freedom where so much slavery is.”

Keep talking about Sudan.

If you haven’t read “Woman at Point Zero” by Nawal El Saadawi I highly encourage you to! I’m ready to call her a favorite author after just one book… #booksky #bipocbooksky

Officially 60% through Crime and Punishment… hold your applause please 🤭🥳😈 #booksky

When the multi pov book circles back to the character that gets under your skin like no other…. #booksky 📚💙

If none of my fan fics updated today I might sob myself to sleep…….

Started “The Wall” by Marlen Haushofer, and I’ve been enjoying my time. There are some similar themes between it and “I Who Have Never Known Men,” but I like the exploration of someone who reached adulthood in the real world before being forced into surreal state #booksky

All of my favorite fic authors on AO3 must be going through it this week because no one is updating 😭😭😭 sad times

Love how the FBI can work to take down a sports betting gambling ring that’s been operating for several years but can’t coordinate a takedown of those on the Epstein list 🧐🧐 I’m not surprised but still…

Another OKC overtime 😭😭 I’m trying to watch the Golden State game… somebody better get it together and QUICK

The Pacers just love to compete, and I love it! You can never truly count them out no matter who is on the floor

I read daily, because everyday I wake up in this hellscape I feel my brain cells wanting to crumble in the face of the constant ignorance and inhumanity

Trump’s ice goons pull guns on an unarmed guy on a bike in Rogers Park. Terrorizing neighborhoods

Game 4 of finals and you double T the head coach at the end of the 3rd?????? Gtfo

Refs really ruin basketball bruh….

#freepalestine from the river to the sea

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

✨Reading Update✨ Last month was one of my favorites of the year 🙌🏾 I’ve been working on Crime and Punishment for a minute now. It’s my first full length Russian Lit, so I’ve been pacing myself through. Within the first chapter of Assata I could tell it was going to be an all time fave #booksky 📚💙

Becky Hammon ain’t never been scared to get a tech, and I love her for that!

If citizens around the world arent convinced that our governments collectively don’t give two shits about us over their money and power I don’t know what will…

I cannot find my copy of Monstrilio, and it doesn’t make sense because I’ve had my literal eyes on it for MONTHS… then suddenly when I’m ready to pick it up it has vanished #booksky

Resisting the urge to start another book 😭 I’m finally down to a reasonable number, but there are just too many books I want to get to #booksky

✨September Reading Wrap✨ A month of learning, frustration, and new all time favorites 🙌🏾 wouldn’t have it any other way #booksky #bipocbooks

It’s official: AIPAC is trying to buy my election to keep me out of Congress. Apparently, I’m a “dangerous detractor”... by believing Palestinians (like myself and my family) deserve basic human rights. But we’re not going to let AIPAC win.

79. American citizen.

“It is racist America that provides the context for the making of this Black revolutionary.”

ya sex is nice but have you ever made a particularly pertinent comment during book club and everyone starts snapping in approval

After grinding my way through “How Europe Underdeveloped Africa,” I have finally finished 🥹🥹 this book taught me so many valuable lessons The postscript from A.M. Babu was perfection and quickly sent me on a rabbit hole that ended (so far) with a public CIA file 🤔 #booksky📚💙 #nonfiction
