One more week til I’m back home

I’m glad SAS was cooked. We need more moments like this

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

I am ashamed to admit that, while I have been a consumer and fan of what @thetriibe.com has been doing, I've never been a financial supporter. This article changed that and actually made me come out of my pocket. I'm so grateful for the work of our local journalists. thetriibe.com/2025/10/sout...

GOOD NEWS: Despite RFK Jr saying he would cancel $500 million in mRNA research, the House Committee on Appropriations has passed a spending package, that includes $1.1 billion for “advanced research and development” at BARDA, which includes research on mRNA vaccines.

I really need to start visiting this app more often

Yall asking Grok questions like it’s not pumping out 1000 cubic meters of poison gas into South Memphis every 15 minutes all so MFs can get a corny ass screenshot to dunk on.

I don't mean to sound hysterical but there are some pretty clear historical examples of "force the urban-dwellers to the farms," and none of them are great.

And respectfully @rosasparks.bsky.social your new profile photo looks delicious. Great job homie.

Twitter is crashing out over me saying that African-American people should do more than drape a flag over their shoulders when talking about “reclaiming their history.”

Oh and fuck all the white people that sat with your racist ass MAGA family members on holidays since 2015. You cowards don’t get enough smoke but I’m here to make sure you do. I don’t want to hear about how Fox brainwashed your Dad, bro.

Headed back to DC after Senate Republicans voted today to kick 17 million Americans off their health care to give another tax break to their billionaire donors. I voted NO on this tax scam already and I’m ready to do it again.

That being said... Stephen A. Grift will always go after an opportunity...

@lizzslockeroom.bsky.social hola. I know you disabled replies and QTs, but I may have to use Stephen A Grift. That was brilliant Lizz

NEW: We investigated several stories of people who spiraled into severe, life-altering mental health crises after developing all-consuming obsessions with ChatGPT. Screenshots we reviewed show the AI directly engaging with and supporting user delusions + conspiracies. futurism.com/chatgpt-ment...

Disposable vapes found to emit more toxic metals than traditional cigarettes “When I first saw the lead concentrations, they were so high I thought our instrument was broken,” says one of the study’s authors

They really need to move the Olympics to another country.

Yet another example of how police “do not stop crime” and “keep us safer.” They probably saw him with his police gear and thought it was a clean shot

i want to be as clear as possible: this is a fucking problem

All the assassins are conservative smh

If you attend a No Kings protest tomorrow in Texas, Washington, or New York, and you are arrested, please call or text 432.279.0411 with your name, location, and the phrase 1A911.

Obama appreciation day is absolutely nuts

We had 15 arrests in Chicago yesterday. Wherever you are, if you support the protests, please do what you can to support arrestees. Many thanks to the NLG for watching our backs in the streets here. ❤️

We’re in the streets in downtown Chicago.

Now I want to know who this piece of shit is. Because they crashed out over me stating that ICE has brutalized and attempted to deport African-Americans.

Unfortunately, these people do not care about political history.

Now apparently, a burner on Twitter requested me on here. Where are they so I can cook their raggedy ass?

Can’t believe someone actually tried to make the argument that this would not be happening under Kamala like we didn’t see what happened to protesters during the Obama years and during Biden with the pro-Palestine protests.

Uppercase K and lowercase k

You know what is really infuriating? All this talk about “ohhh nooo don’t mess with humble public servants just trying to do their job and protect our country wah wah wah” NOW you want public servants respected!?!?! After you treated so much of the federal workforce like worthless trash?!?!

So…what issues should black people be “fighting?”

It isn’t a psyop. It is real. And it is disturbing to watch, especially from people whose political engagement is only voting once every 4 years. They shouldn’t be qualified to say shit

ICE is detaining people and tear gassing people in literally the bluest state, on camera, detaining AMERICAN CITIZEN GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS and you think they are gonna skip American Black people because you aren’t on the front lines or because you “voted blue.” You are 100% as stupid as you sound.

We had someone actually say “when hasn’t the government come for black people” by bringing up the MOVE bombing while leaving out that the Mayor of Philadelphia at the time was a Democrat.

Can I be honest? I’m really tired of black people and this “this is not our fight” shit going on during an administration that is literally impacting their material reality too. I’m also sick of their inability to recognize Dems as a problem.

If you know Dems like I do this means Dems are going to shove Musk down their constituents throat. He will be on the campaign trail with Democrats in 2026.

I offered my 2 cents to Complex about the Diddy trial & shed light on trafficking in the US. www.complex.com/music/a/shaw...

🖤 I’m in love

The only thing the monster is missing is a cigarette

christ. ANOTHER season of stranger things. even the monster doesnt want to do this anymore

No matter what this current society tries, it cannot erase the contributions of black queer people to art, history, music, liberation philosophy, etc. Happy Pride Month! Shout out to the Chicago ballroom scene.

@netta.bsky.social I just saw a recap, not the OG story and…that was avoidable. How she from Detroit and she getting got like that?

Oh brother. Don't let cishet men see this lol

BREAKING: Thailand reports over 53,000 new Covid-19 cases in a week, school shifts to online learning.

Something has been a bit off with me this week. I’ve been reflecting quite a bit on my life. Forever was partly responsible. But I’m really wondering about the decisions I made overall. As I said, something will show me I’m right. But the days where you ain’t sure are difficult.

NEW — “The TRiiBE has finally reached the point where we are embracing a future that we always knew was ours.” Our publisher Morgan Elise Johnson pens this piece about our exciting new chapter. thetriibe.com/2025/05/the-...

And that’s exactly what it is.

Hoover caught a life sentence while already serving multiple life sentences. This is supposed to be a “fuck you” to Pritzker and Chicago, I guess
