Take a lesson from the Black Panthers who understood how to feed people

Early voting

This was quite lovely "I don't think there's anybody more patriotic than a Black person...This country would not be if not for us"

Trump's USDA says it can’t disburse SNAP benefits on November 1 because of the shutdown. SNAP is an entitlement program. They could *easily* find the $8 billion. Meanwhile, they’re sending $40 BILLION to bail out Argentina, screwing American farmers in the process. It’s bullshit—and they know it.

Ever since Obama, these rabid so-and-so's think the presidency is tainted and now they can do whatever the hell they feel like, including gut and plunder the country. Because a Black family lived in the White House & not in the servants' quarters. [1/2]

ICE is all over the South Side: South Shore & Back of the Yards among many communities. Hyde Park has also been hit, with agents prowling thru the neighborhood, incl near Kenwood Academy HS. The Herald reports a UChicago international student was questioned + 3 workers were abducted from the street.

The Corlea Trackway • Longford This 2km ancient routeway was discovered beautifully preserved in the bog. It was dated to c.148 BC. A section of the trackway from Cloonbreany Townland was excavated and conserved, and is now on display in the Corlea Trackway Visitor Centre. #Archaeology 🏺

Holy crap Kara Walker chopped up a Stonewall Jackson statue and revealed a monster

Y'all, this is a white supremacist regime intent on re-segregating the United States and removing Black people from positions of authority and access to opportunity. This must be stated as a simple 'matter of fact' and condemned at every turn.

We’re in the United States of Upside Down: This administration has convinced people that the “business case for diversity” is scarier than the “business case for fascism”…which is unfolding in real time with the help of tech billionaires 💙 #democracy #diversity #inclusion #fascism #business 💙

"Systems that adjust to increasing lifespans in general with penalties for early withdrawal but fail to reflect subpopulations’ longevity differences are not “actuarialy fair” (Sanchez-Romero et al. 2020) and can function to redistribute wealth from nonwhite to white populations..."

The light.

Solidarity is the only way

I'm gonna need my prayer warriors to lift Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson up in prayer. That she be strong in the face of ignorance. That she remain patient in the face of intransigence. That she not snap on these folks like they abundantly deserve. Amen

"I stand on solid rock and I will not bow, I will not break, I will not bend, I will not capitulate, I will not give in, I will not give up." New York Attorney General Letitia James speaks out after being indicted by the Trump DOJ.

We believe in a city budget that fully funds our public libraries and parks!! YES.

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

I prefer “anti-fascist“ for a host of reasons and this is a nice practical one.

…🧐 Maya Angelou implies the existence of Olmec Angelou, Toltec Angelou, and Aztec Angelou respectively. Honestly, Mesoangelouan societies are, quite frankly, fascinating. 😤😤😤

Belatedly reading about this and as always really important to remind people in *every breath* that when the right talks about “woke” and “DEI” they are talking about the cultural and political wins of the civil rights movement. This arrangement existed for 52 years because of historical activism.

What Fr Dowling is doing here was not just "offering communion to detainees". A full on Eucharistic Procession is a really fucking big deal. In Catholic theological framing, those folks were the honor guard with the very great privilege of escorting Jesus himself to the detention center.

I had a lot of convos with people who said they were sympathetic, but Defund the Police was a "bad slogan". I told them it wasn't a slogan. It was an answer. It was an answer to the constant question "what can we do to actually lower crime and make our neighborhood's safer?" Anyway. Here we are.

THEY CLOSED PUBLIC POOLS RATHER THAN SWIM WITH BLACK PEOPLE YOU ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE AS THE FOLKS WHO DID THIS PLEASE WAKE THE FUCK UP

Kicked out of Columbia University, now Washington Post. All for writing and speaking about race and injustice. The best way to support my work is to join @resistanceschool.bsky.social and take my class on Race, Media and International Affairs 101! www.resistancesummerschool.com/fall-2025-re...

Happy Belated Birthday to Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson whose birthday was Sunday. She was born September 14, 1970.

*siiiiiiigggghhhh*

oh hell yes! The lack of street vendors (and I assume this will apply to parks as well, hopefully??) is a huge barrier to creating vibrant public spaces. We've needed to loosen/define regulations around this for years and I'm so happy to see Green making the effort.

Just in case some people missed the memo: DO NOT USE ULINE. EVER. IDGAF if you think they "have the best prices" or "have the best tape". Buying from them because of one of those reasons just tells me your morals have a price tag. Throw your packaging sources in the comments.

Once again Black people are the truth-tellers.

Though my faves in the exhibit were Delaney’s portraiture, his abstract/impressionist piece I liked the most was “Untitled, 1961,” gouache and watercolor on paper. Today is the last day for “In the Medium of Life: The Drawings of Beauford Delaney,” The Drawing Center, 30 Wooster St, noon-6PM. #NYC

Yes, she is.

We knew the Missouri republicans would do this but here's where we are. They are trying to eradicate any semblance of left (read Black) voting power in the state. I'm begging people to read the article and understand the situation at hand.

If I was a parent I would be pushing my local officials to bring recreational activities back! Fuck all these video games and AI bullshit! Build a skating rink, basketball courts, laser tag, skateboarding parks, get kids back outside, and GET EM JOBS!! Im tired of seeing grown ass

Soooo....like what music built our civilization? Jazz? Blues? Gospel? R&B? I can't think of any American music that isn't based in Black culture.
