There is no compromise to be had with a movement whose whose whole reason for being, whose core identity is their hatred of Black people and their desire to dominate them. The right wing have their side quests and folk demons of the week, but the whole foundation is anti-Blackness.

I do frequently wonder what the average citizen of the U.S. knows about Reconstruction. As Du Bois would later point out, the backlash of lost cause propaganda didn’t just create mass disinformation about the civil war itself, but about the opening for actual democracy that briefly came after it.

It’s the “ill will.”

need a response other than "happy to talk" when people invite me to discuss things that fill me with rage i am unhappy to talk, see you then

No sugar-coating the Court’s decision today. Real talk. @allinwithchris.bsky.social

Toni Morrison on Rodney King protests: "What struck me most about the people who were burning down shops was how long they waited. The restraint, not the spontaneity. The moment they became anarchic was when they saw those tapes. But they waited for justice for almost a year… It didn't come."

What happened at the Supreme Court is about anti-Blackness and curtailing Black political power. Trump as a corrective to Obama. Anti CRT/ DEI as a corrective to Black Lives Matter and Black progress in education and the workforce. Anti-Blackness is America’s favorite manner of self-harm.

We must understand that the Voting Rights Act was not merely about ensuring Black Americans rights, it was about democratizing America. This ruling is not just a decimation of Black rights and Black Americans’ ability to have representation, it is a fatal blow to multiracial democracy.

And this is why you can’t compare any other artist to Michael Joseph Jackson. People literally did not know how to act 💀

“The lesser of two evils” and the evil is a Black Woman who helped a woman who had her scalp ripped from her head in an act of DV, get justice.

"[Autistic adults] were medicated for symptoms that were adaptations...Many of them spent decades in therapy working on the wrong diagnosis with the wrong tools, accumulating what I’ve come to call provider trauma: the particular wound of having trusted helpers make things worse."

"We have to take the work of dismantling the anger, entitlement, and insecurity, and control seriously that too often goes unchecked before it continues to explode. Because the alternative is what we’re living through now. And it is costing women, and entire families, their lives."

I cannot emphasize ENOUGH how gross a miscalculation it was for Klay Thompson to cheat on Megan Thee Stallion. She is beloved across time zones and generations. He is selectively relevant.

From Jan. 2025 - March 2026, 100+ pro-censorship bills were introduced in state legislatures. At least 40 bills would penalize libraries and library workers with lawsuits, fines, or even jail time for protecting people’s the right to read. This #RightToReadDay, take action: https://bit.ly/43D9Dtw

Black people are "hardworking," "taxpaying," "law abiding" "citizens." And yet, despite all that, we get random people imagining the ways that we will harm them. This, friends, is an illustration of the imagination gap (my term). www.reddit.com/r/BlackPeopl...

The goalposts always move when someone speaks up. If you are perceived as waiting to tell, it’s “why did you wait so long?” If you report right away, it’s “well, let’s wait and see before a formal investigation. Maybe they just need a talking to and then they’ll stop.”

This one really gets me because they *didn't* wait. It's just that now is when people started paying attention. Blame the people who had power and did nothing, not the victims who no one protected at the time.

Black women have advanced the human species so, so much. Just unrivaled brilliance, every generation.

I'm not consuming anymore news today. Savoring this moment.

Artemis II's astronauts returned from the moon with a dramatic splashdown in the Pacific on Friday to close out humanity's first lunar voyage in more than a half-century. https://to.pbs.org/4t2bHHR

A perfect splashdown! Thank God! #ArtemisII

Science is cool, but the most incredible part of watching astronauts fly around and return from the moon is our collective hope and humanity. My goodness, what a timeline!

I actually think it’s important to take responsibility and apologize when you’re late instead of manipulatively telling people who had no choice but to wait on you, “thank you for your patience.”

"More Black women are entering weight rooms, lifting heavy, and reframing fitness not as punishment or aesthetic management, but as a pathway to longevity, autonomy, and self-trust."

"By regularly engaging in resistance exercises, we can increase our muscle mass, enhance bone density, and develop overall strength that translates into greater endurance and stamina." | The Importance of Strength Training for Black Women

"In every single one of the interviews our research team conducted with Black women about their experiences with white women, participants named a feeling of constant vigilance in their relationships with white women. One participant called it 'waiting for the switch up.' " | Why Should BW Trust WW?

“When people ask what it’s like being Black in America” Ok because yes

Black women are one of the most educated and qualified groups of workers in the country, yet they make significantly less than their white male counterparts. Equal pay cannot discriminate. Pay Black women what they are rightfully owed.
