What the Kimmel has proven to me is that White people in this country could absolutely shut down this MAGA nonsense if they really wanted to but there are parts of that agenda they like and it’s the anti Black and Brown parts.

Black Kos: Our scars are deep. We will not let anyone erase the history of slavery and racism www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Today would have been Ray Charles’ 95th birthday. This duet we sang for my 1981 CBS special was an all-time highlight of my career! You are missed.

There's about to be some farmland for sale in the near future. There's no way they keep their farms when they're losing their largest customer with no way to compensate for the financial losses.

Translation: Central High's band is so good, they'd make the other school's band look like shit.

FTFA: "Famously private, Scott only discusses her donations through her website and does not confirm them until after the recipients do." Oh look, someone who does charity not to make herself look good and put her name on some damn building, but because she finds it worth doing. Very refreshing.

I saw an old Black woman on the usher board setting up signs for Bible study. No rapture imminent. If she's still here everybody else is too.

The difference between white mothers dealing with tragedy & black mothers: Jenny McCarthy had a child diagnosed with Autism & blamed vaccines. Holly Robinson had a child diagnosed with Autism & she & her husband formed an organization to support families dealing with an Autistic child. Be Holly,

Don't know if anyone saw this story, but kudos to the band program at Central High in Memphis. They were informed they couldn't play their instruments because it would be too loud and a distraction. They played kazoos instead. I love that kind of pettiness. youtu.be/Nwc4nekDc64?...

I don't think I need to read anything else today. My brother threw the Mike Tyson uppercut with this one. Nothing else needs to be said. Sit and let this one marinate.

🧵 Today I’d like to remember Mark and Melissa Hortman, a lovely couple who were murdered in their home June 14, 2025 by Vance Boelter. Melissa’s birthday, May 27 is one day before mine which is why she is very special to me. #SheShed #Pinks

What movie do you consider "perfect"?

For your entertainment... And mine 😂😂😂😂

I am absolutely nothing. Yet, this is your 6th time showing up in my mentions AFTER you responded to absolutely nothing. If I am indeed nothing, what does that make you? I didn't seek you out. I didn't initially respond to you. I swear critical thinking and reasoning are dead.

First of all, it’s Black dumbass! Second, America was and is ready! A whole foreign adversary had to team up with the white electorate to be able to live in your made up reality

So, why did white America spend a century denying the right to vote to Black Americans even after several amendments to the Constitution were passed??? And to this day, conservatives still try to suppress the votes of minorities, especially Black people. What meme do you have for that???

America and Americans are never beating the allegations of being racist and/or misogynist. Dry snitching is always funny, especially when it's self dry snitching. We get it. Only white men for president. Even when they're mediocre white men. 🙄🙄🙄

Watch them, see them at work. These are the types of men rapidly being recruited and added to ICE.

As we should! ✊🏾

This is a tough but must-read thread. 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾

Oh that last line is a bar 😮‍💨😮‍💨

Notes from an old broad.. vacation again

So Dana why are you blaming Chuck Schumer for people voting for this? Namely your fucking demographic.

“He was talking negatively about me directly… proclaiming I was involved in the great white replacement. Yeah, I’m not honoring that.” – Rep. Jasmine Crockett 👏🏽 This is courage. Period.

So it was ridiculous for Biden to seek bipartisan alliance while in office, and for Harris to do so during her campaign, but this time it should work? This is their logic

Happy September 21st to those that celebrate!!! 😃 💃🏾🕺🏾

We don't need The Washington Post. The future is independent media that isn't influenced by the whims, interests and cowardice of the billionaire class. Support independent media like @mississippifreepress.org. You can donate to support us at mfp.ms/donate. Unlike WP, we're paywall-free, btw!

Why is this horrible for Universities? Just about everyone who isn't a citizen or green card holder already who's hired for a tenure track faculty position is hired through an H1B and then, after 3-5 years, applies for a green card. This is literally "No more foreign professors can be hired"

Please read this. It's not long, but it's very worthwhile and VERY important.

My apologies y'all. I was not aware that I couldn't ask anyone on this app how Dems get the GOP to bring articles of impeachment to vote in the House. I will sit my ass down and just let the smart people work this all out.

I would like Never Trump Republicans to demand that George W. Bush appear and speak up for democracy in this country. Why do ppl always ask Obama to do things and “where is Kamala”? Where is the 43rd President of the United States while democracy crashes & burns. This is the party he led. 1/

If you’re looking for someplace to hang out this morning and you live in Phoenix, a new Black owned coffee shop just opened‼️ If you have some shopping to do there’s a thrift store upstairs. I had to edit for time, link to full video is in the comments as well as the address.

So, define stop at nothing. Where do you draw the line at nothing? Are you going to take up arms with Dems and commit acts of outright violence to overthrow the government? Are you willing to put a bullet into a fellow American to stop fascism?

And exactly how are Dens going to pressure Speaker Johnson to get all this started to begin with? Wasted energy is wasted energy. The Senate had to change rules to stop Dem obstruction when folks said Schumer was useless. Johnson recessed the House for the summer to avoid Dem pressure on Epstein. 👇🏾

And y'all's experience, "so now you have SOME tiny clue about what real systematic oppression looks & feels like" - that woke history will be banned whenever possible T'was ever thus, whenever a common cause threatened the 1%, just ask Nat Bacon. www.americanhistorycentral.com/entries/baco...

It was also a dumb time in November for people not to vote for her because she wasn't a perfect glittery unicorn. Since Americans voted overwhelmingly for her to go back home to California, she gets to peddle her book & make money. You get to live under fascism. The choices we make. #shrug

It’s really interesting how all the “Democratic strategists” who are attacking Kamala for being real and honest in her book also spent the entirety of last year attacking her for being “fake.”

All this will do is offshore more jobs. H1B visas are not just limited to the Tech industry. Some schools bring professors over via H1B visas. This guy is destroying both the American education and employment systems at the same time. There was a simple way to avoid this outcome...

I can't stress enough the importance of local/state elections that can impact you instantly.. ballot initiatives, Senate/House Reps, judges, MAYORS, sheriffs, schoolboards, county executives/councils, etc. Do your research, know who/what you're voting for. #LRP

You could make the argument that The Professor Watchlist was a gimmick that the young Kirk could use to raise his profile and money. But he never disbanded it, even as it was clearly used to harass and intimidate.

How about it all being equally harsh because obviously money doesn't make one person less vulnerable from constitutional violations. Yes, ABC isn't the govt, but they're trampling Kimmel's rights under threat from the govt. Let's treat everyone's rights equally under the law.

This is inhuman. "It is unclear what options are available to service members with Pseudofolliculitis Barbae, or PFB, a painful skin condition in which facial hair grows back into the skin that is common in up to 60% of Black men... [shaving] 'sharpens the end of hairs like a spear.'”
