Damn, they actually found him.

Hell yeah. More should join.

When Brown v. Board outlawed their efforts at racial segregation, white “conservatives” concocted a new political strategy: make abortion a moral/religious issue. Here’s a human embryo atop a needle point, a “baby” to Republicans, who maintain this silly farce SOLELY to attract “moral” voters.

Back to the One Drop Rule. By his own words, Hemings’ physical features were Jefferson's main attraction to her. Sally Hemings was 1/4 Black. To be clear, it was her proximity to whiteness, contrasted with his retained ability to own and order her movement that attracted Jefferson to her. /4

Sally was 14 when Jefferson acquired her. Disgusting side note: Jefferson's own daughter Polly was 9-years-old at the time. Witnesses have described young Sally's relationship with Polly as one of both caretaker and playmate—a sort of sociopathic convenience for Jefferson. Foul stuff. /3

🇺🇸 HISTORY: Thomas Jefferson was 44 when he began what many today refer to as a romance or affair with Sally Hemings. Sally had no legal capacity to consent to such a relationship not only because she was enslaved, Jefferson's property, but also because she was 14-years-old. 🧵

Nah, White America is to blame. None of this happens without white people (collectively) choosing it. Please stop trying to displace blame. You are blameworthy—regardless of your individual vote. White people COLLECTIVELY ruined this nation and much of the world.

Adopt your kids; marry your partners; especially if racial, gender identity, same-sex, immigration, or similar such “other” status is present. It’s no guarantee, but these intentional legal bonds may complicate the government’s process if/when they try separating y’all. Friendly [non-legal] advice.

Dude, this one is really on us. We alone have the numbers to do something about it. There are no where near enough Black voters who voted for trump to matter. The demo you and I share can make that change. Until we have the difficult conversations, nothing will change.

African Elephants are my favorite land animal species, by far. During yesterday’s earthquake, my babies at the San Diego Zoo reacted to the quake, immediately protective of their most-vulnerable Community members. Humans could learn SO much from these beauties, if we’d just humble ourselves. 🐘🐘

More than seven years before Trump became president he was named in a deposition by a an Epstein victim as someone who was well aware of what Epstein was up to. www.rawstory.com/trump-epstei...

You don’t hate country music, you just hate the same 100 songs of bootlicking corporatized trash about saluting the flag while drinking a beer in your truck at a football game next to your pretty silent wife in daisy dukes who also knows how to fish.

All “races” are social constructs. But Black ppl can’t even trust what white ppl say about being white! Bc y’all’s race was literally invented *solely* to subjugate first Black ppl, then all not white ppl. You don’t see your race as a race; you see it as the norm and everyone else is “of color.”

No exaggeration, Black people all over the globe—especially in the United States—have zero reason to trust any white person or believe anything y’all say on just about any subject. 🇺🇸

Absolutely fuck you, Amazon. When I bought this device there was no mention of my purchase being time limited at your discretion. It does not require software updates, so the only "support" necessary is that kindle books are available in a format that can be sent to it. This shouldn't be legal.

To be very clear, I'm not trying to use the AI — I'm just trying to read the court documents. It's clear that the AI is programmed to replace offensive language. But what does that mean when it's being used to summarize historical documents? What happens when people rely on the summary?

Here's another example from the court record of Mark and Phillis, two enslaved people from Charlestown who poisoned their enslaver in 1755. The AI summary says they are "described as a man and woman." That's not true. They're described as a "Negro man" and "Negro woman." It's important context!

If this sounds like you, I encourage you to look into my two favorite genres of country music — 1. I will die for my union and the cops who shot us are going to Hell, and 2. I just killed my husband and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done.

What radicalized me? I became a social worker.

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

Residents in Fayette County, Georgia noticed their water pressure was unusually low. Turns out that a data center 20 miles away had been drawing 30 million gallons of water in secret through connections the county didn't know existed. Is it any wonder why so many are opposed to data centers?

Who are these ghouls talking to?

Scientists long surmised Killer Whales (originally “whale killers”) hunted Great Whites for a few reasons, not the least of which was repeated discovery of random Great White corpses—fully decapitated, among other mutilations; couldn’t imagine other creature capable of that degree of pure carnage. 😇

Congratulations Virginia! You voted for the best reason: vengeance

Mahalo Kākou for a productive afternoon of cultural learnings. We introduced space through Pule Hoʻōla Nā ʻAumākua. From there we learned about moʻolelo and wahi pana and had a introduction to Uhau Humu Pōhaku.
