Shoutout to Dreisen Heath, one of the most visionary leaders in this fight. Her work bridges the UN accountability framework to domestic policy. She is the connective tissue. Engage with her. Follow the work. reparationscantwait.org

Yesterday @attorneycrump.bsky.social —NBJC board member and Black America's attorney general—stood at the UN alongside President Mahama to advance reparatory justice on the world stage. The movement is credentialed and showing up at every table that matters.

The wealth gap. The health gap. The education gap. The employment gap. The housing gap. These aren't historical remnants. They are living consequences. The debt is real and it has compounded.

Every word in that title is load-bearing. Trafficking. Racialized. Chattel. Gravest. This is not diplomatic language hedged for comfort. It is moral clarity—backed by all 55 AU member states, CARICOM, and CELAC.

Today, Ghana's President introduced a resolution at the UN General Assembly declaring the transatlantic trafficking and racialized chattel enslavement of Africans as the gravest crime against humanity. For the first time in UN history. On this day. This is the shift from remembrance to reckoning. 🧵

"Put the mirror back on yourself and ask: What do I need to work on?" This is what protecting our babies actually looks like. Doing the work ourselves so we stop causing harm.

The more you heal, the more you realize how many unhealed people there are. 🤎 @TessHolliday said this and it's been echoing ever since. How much of the harm in our communities is coming from people who haven't done the healing work?

Black women give 25% more of their income than anyone else—but do they have political budgets? @glyndacarr.bsky.social breaks down why shifting even a small percentage ($5-$1000) into political power changes everything. 🎙️ New Teach The Babies: open.spotify.com/episode/2L1s... #BlackWomenLead

The next day? Joy launched The Joy Ann Reid Show—independent, unbought, unbossed. Through her own company with Jason Reid. She refused to be silenced.

Why? Because Joy put Palestinians on TV when nobody else would. Because she talked about Gaza, police violence, and Trump in ways that made power uncomfortable.

They didn't just fire Joy. They laid off her entire staff. People who'd been with her through 3 shows. People who fought to tell unapologetic Black stories on primetime.

"I got fired on my day off. It was a week after we won two NAACP Image Awards." Joy Ann Reid on getting that Saturday call from MSNBC—one month after renewing her contract, one week before the State of the Union. New #TeachTheBabies #Podcast episode 🧵

This or That with Deesha Dyer (forever White House Social Secretary): Hip-hop or house? HOUSE Philly cheesesteak or DC mumbo sauce? CHEESESTEAK ("Are you dumb?") State dinner or movie screening?

They Can't Demolish What We Built. They demolished the East Wing in 72 hours. But they can't demolish this. On institutional memory, Black women's labor, and what endures when we build in community. #TeachTheBabies #Podcast open.substack.com/pub/drdavidj...
