SCOOP: YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy. "YouTube quietly removing ‘gender identity and expression’ from its list of protected groups is a major radical shift away from best practices in the field of trust and safety."

You should be giving life changing checks to Black women. IN YOUR FIELDS AND AEEAS if you have the power to do so ( not this silly billy press game shit, hug the who warned you wrote for you, is standing in front of cops , whose “work you admire” ) Because they are making life ending cuts

My immigration firm sent a newsletter today in response to inquiries from clients over the last two months. They "strongly recommend against international travel", warned against even walking past political rallies, noted government reps may ask to see emails, texts + social media, and these points:

Definitely needed to see this today.

Amazon Prime shipping sure isn't what it used to be 👀 Making it even easier for me to ween myself off.

Target, don't piss me tf off!

Been a minute since I was on here. Sooo how are things?

Trump is getting far more deference and respect from dems than Obama got from the GOP with far larger wins in 2008 and 2012.

“We can break the law because the president (-elect) says we can” is actually dangerous and terrible.

the next several years of the media refusing to cover protests while manufacturing consensus via op ed by pretending everyone agrees and there are very few protests is gonna be a whole experience

Adding Tik Tok to the long list of social media platforms that chooses manipulation and coercion over actual truth to the American people. Keep a mind H.R.7521 - Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act (the Tik Tok bill) was introduced by a single party.

If you’re reading this post a gif from a video game you love.

We have the weirdest energy for our own sometimes. I’m old enough to remember when Beyoncé at the top of her game, embraced her Blackness in front of the world. They were ready to burn her alive when she did. Everything after that has been rooted in her Blackness and culture. Yet, here is this take.

The more I write, the better I’m getting at it and more confident I feel. I’ll be posting more of my writing on my blog soon along with finally publishing my newsletter.

You know what’s sad is I can remember a time in my life when I allowed myself to be disrespected like this and excused it in so many ways. When enough was enough I simply started doing what our brother here is calling out. I’m going to tell you about yourself to your racist ass face.

hell nah, this job done gave me hives. I’ve never had hives before. I gotta find a new job asap

Did I just take 2 mental health days? Yes, yes I did, & yes I still WFH. Dinner is ice cream, with a side of The Muppet Show

I'm going to enjoy watching people on here beg their overseas friends and family to change to Signal just cause you don't like Zuckerberg. A lot of yall really don't know how ubiquitous WhatsApp is and just how tiny Signal is.

And there you have it...

Good morning beautiful Black people. If you’re reading this, I hope something amazing happens to you today.

Post your spirit toon

If you have a daughter please put them in martial arts and self defense classes. This next 4 years is gonna be crazy.

If you’re reading this, you’ve made it thru today. Congrats. See you tomorrow

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO! Will don’t you touch my favorite movie series. I respect you AND no dammit.

Yes

Tonight on Jeopardy, 1 of the contestants mispronounced Viola Davis’ name and wasn’t corrected. May not be a big deal to some but if you usually lose points for mispronouncing Russian poets names, etc., Viola should’ve been respected enough to have hers pronounced correctly.

Magats are racist, misogynist pigs. It’s disgusting to watch the disdain that Bruce Fischer has for Vice President Kamala Harris.

Excited that my first read of 2025 was an easy 5/5. Avatar The Last Airbender: The Rise of Kyoshi adds so much context and gives life to more of the lore illustrated in the show. I didn’t expect the level of depth touched on and the outstanding characters. A must read for any fan. #booksky #avatar
