Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

I knew these reporters weren't 💩 when Sam Husseini from BBC got dragged out of a press conference for asking Anthony Blinken a question--AND his colleagues just watched. This was before 🍊 was even sworn in.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk? But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession. But that's just me

If someone goes after Ms. Rachel, Mr. Rogers, or Dolly Parton, they are by definition a bad person.

I need white women to be clear that men of color who perpetrate sexual misconduct against women are more likely to target women of color because the way white supremacy is setup, it’s not nearly as safe for them to target white women

“The learning process is something you can incite, literally incite, like a riot.” - Audre Lorde

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

Apropos of nothing: People with narcissistic personality traits are very sensitive to ‘injury’ from defeat. They may feel humiliated, degraded, hollow, and empty. They may react with disdain, rage, or defiant counterattack.

"This isn't the America I know." Black people:

too real lol

RIP to a real one. I still want to read Nemik's Manifesto in full, cover to cover #Andor

“The government is allowed to post real death threats on social media but you’re not allowed to post sarcastic death threats on social media” is actually a pretty apt distillation of power and violence

I think it’s cool when the grocery store asks you to donate to the food bank but also locks its dumpsters. It just makes sense

Somewhere out there someone who’s the best at what they do is terrified that they have imposter syndrome while a bunch of barely literate pedophiles are very calmly running the world

As kids, we were told the American dream was to be rich and famous. A superstar. A millionaire. What if I want a different dream, though. One where we have vibrant communities full of joy and life and love. Where we know our neighbors and help each other out. What would you dream of?

If we as a country cared about disability and therefore healthcare and access, they would not be building AI centers in Black neighborhoods.

Democrats are trash, so I'm exploring my options here. What's up with Antifa? Are they into guillotines? What's their stance on healthcare? For legal reasons, this is a joke.

You shouldn't have to be rich to have dedicated healthcare teams who actually pay attention to, communicate with, and all around give a genuine fuck about you

DARVO Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender. When confronted, the manipulator denies wrongdoing, attacks the person calling it out, and claims they are the true victim.

Scientist James Watson has died. As per his final requests, he will be buried in such a position that he can still look over the shoulder of the grave of Dr. Franklin, just in case zombie Rosalind discovers something else worth swiping.

There’s no such thing as a safe space so just say it out loud. Black and Brown Ice Agents ain’t shit and I hope the ancestors haunt them everyday.

Unsettles my spirit!!!!!

I didn't hear the Pilgrim story until I was older (I went to a Black elementary school) and when I asked my grandmother told me that was white people's bullshit. I have never looked back

It’s an in-joke that when Black women get bored, we go get a degree & pivot. It’s a whole lotta Black women unemployed right now, watching Rep Jasmine & Kamala & now the Detroit mayor etc, and I don’t think *those people* understood what they’ve activated by forcing us to have time via layoffs

Be warned.. he will become more unhinged and start wars and cut funding even more as he realizes how fucked he is

All that Christian Jesus, hundreds of years of unchecked wealth and power And still scared of women, black people, trans people, immigrants, rainbow sidewalks, vaccines? Yeah. Loser shit.

We are being ruled by absolute losers

Good and sobering thought 💭

All while the World Series was happening. Feels very Super Bowl/Met Gala 2024 (IYKYK)

They better not go and shake that man’s hand while he’s kidnapping folks from the community that made them

Our white brothers and sisters could stop this anytime that they want.

Food4Less is charging Whole Foods prices these days 😢

Black people don’t have the luxury as being as stupid as white people.

America's chickens are coming home to roost. It's always been like this. Ask any old Black person or any Native American, esp the women or the gays.

@theferocity.bsky.social Listening to this week's Vibe Check, and you nailed it. Doing what you love and believe in, is still work--and in fact, you'll WORK HARDER when it's something you LOVE. My therapist has been trying to explain this to me for years. I feel like I owe you for a session.

Let me go on the record: as much money I have, whatever I can spare, I will ALWAYS want the extra to go to feed children

Yuuuuuuuup.

Compliments from Black women are just... they just light me up inside

Just a reminder, the layoffs in govt were just done out of spite, not necessity

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Like this framing of US history is part of what got us here. Begging y’all to shed the American exceptionalism and see how inextricable it is from the hatred that’s putting us all in danger now

I know that y’all are anxious and overwhelmed and like to pretend American history starts in the 20th century, but I’m gonna need folks to stop saying things about this being a lowest point when speaking about a nation that engaged in Native genocide and chattel slavery for hundreds of years

White people need to step up NOW

They say women are too emotional but l've never seen anything more dramatic than a grown man being held accountable for his actions.

I want you to be wrong so bad but all of the [very public] behavior points in this direction😵‍💫🥴
