The reckless Trusk administration is treating every single veteran who served and sacrificed for this country, like sloppy seconds.

I have a chill rapport with my colleagues, but our supervisor ocassionally preempts what he perceives will be my demeanor by offering me unsolicited social cues, as if I have no upbringing. I don't need to be told how to engage, but HE's so damn paranoid about engaging Black women.

Anyone who feels it's a waste of time and won't vote in the next midterm elections can go to hell...don't even wanna know them.

Love watching how she played that piano.

Folks seem to forget what VP Harris’s run in the senate was like. She was the White liberal darling when she was going after Kavanaugh. White folks set her up then pushed her off the cliff. I don’t like them attaching themselves to Jasmine.

Our folk have caped for the collective good, been bloodied and broken, facing down the dogs and hoses. And we did the damn thing on Nov 5. Let the others gather up THEIR blocs that fell short and take to these streets.

Good morning: White people’s motto really seems to be, “It’s supposed to happen to everyone else but me.”

That smiling face makes me 😊❤

#BlackHistoryMonth #HiddenFigure I regret that I wasn't aware of Mrs. Raye Montague earlier in my career, but had the privilege of meeting her the year before she passed. I was awestruck.

All of this.

She's thirsty for attention and got dogwalked to the toilet to drink.

This imbecile doesn't know a click from a bang. Firing a bunch of nukes is about as serious as it gets on the defense spectrum. No endgame for someone who aspires to be worse than they were on the previous day.

The MAGA who are now FAFO KNEW wtf he was when they decided to vote for him because he spent nearly 10 years showing his ass to the world. So, they likely don't regret their vote, but regret what their vote is doing TO them and not FOR them.

My experience as a Black woman never included feeling safe or protected by this government. It's actually been very much the opposite. If this is your first time feeling terrified and/targeted by those in power, you've lived a privileged life. It is what is. Now get to work.

My MSTeams camera background filter was inadvertently off during a work meeting. They peeped my Angela Davis print on a bookshelf and probably thought "OMG! she getting ready for what's coming!"😮😮🤣 That print has been there for more years than I can recall, but yeah, so has my state of being.

92 percent and our 80 percent brothers.... Lesson for today: Don't ever forget who you are, nor forget those before you who died counting on you to remember them, and all that was lost and all that it cost... IYKYK

FAFO actually means "I don't regret my vote, but I do regret how my vote is affecting ME"

I’m sorry, maybe the intent of my question wasn’t clear. Let me put this another way… LEAVE BLACK PEOPLE THE FUCK ALONE! Call on them silent “ain’t shit” ass white politicians.

Watching the news replay & whispering to Brittany "**psst**"what's good..Mrs. SACKtrick Mahomes"😂😂

I've been boycotting the NFL since 2016, when they punished Kaepernick & Eric Reid, and haven't watched a single game. But I'm glad Philly spanked that ass and I hopefully won't see Mahomes (& his ugly, whiny wife), Kelce & Swift all over the celebratory newsfeed.

Going to limit my time on social media, it’s mentally overwhelming & frustrating.. it’s something new & ridiculous every single day. #ProtectYourMental

I’m not holding hands and singing songs with mfs who told me that I shouldn’t be focused on my granddaughter’s future because “other kids were dying”. Yeah fuck you, up to and until you acknowledge how your fucking moral superiority outweighed your empathy for me.

Anti-DEI = modern KKK The entire premise of the anti-DEI movement is that ONLY white people are smart enough to achieve academic or professional success on merit. Everyone else who attained either did not earn it because they are genetically inferior to a white person. That’s what this is about

Black, female STEM since college freshman year, 1978. That's 47 yrs of academic/career navigation of mostly passive-aggressive "You can't sit with us" energy. Difference between then, here &now, is an emboldened subculture of people who are increasingly comfortable being openly offensive. #BlackSTEM

My heart goes out to colleagues in STEM, and to all of higher ed right now. This admin is Not Good for us. Still, I can't help but wish folks had cared when it was the Rest of Us in the crosshairs. I can't get over the idea that many were OK with us being attacked by the far right because "DEI."

I don't think it's cowardly to choose not to fight. Particularly when that's not your skill set. I have no interest in seeing Maxine Waters scuffling with armed security. But stop acting like we aren't going to have to meet physicality with physicality. You're being fucking ridiculous

Organizations quick to dispose of DEI couldn't have been committed to it beyond performative intent. The FELon Trusk administration mandates just gave them a convenient reason to let go.

My uncle was a Tuskegee Airman and had a razor sharp tongue. If he was alive to witness this chaos, I'm sure I'd be learning some new profanities.

Seeing the emergence of 2 more "political parties": The WeFAFO and Do Something parties. In some cases the members are one and the same. I'm just gonna stay calm, situationally aware, hydrated, moisturized and TF outta THEIR business.

IYKYK!! When I left Michigan in 1990 and when I return for family visits today, they hate us as much as they did in the 60s. They can choke on the orange koolaid.

Growing up in Detroit in the 60s, our parents & teachers always prepared us to understand that nearby Dearborn was a sundown town. The animosity for Black people is a sentiment of many Chaldeans who reside there. That they supported Trump/MAGA is no shock. Idgaf about them now having to FAFO.

You’re not misunderstood, they’re just not listening. If they respect you, they hear you, they get you, they understand you. Find your tribe. #blacksky #blackskyover40

Thank you for saying this loudly. I'm so ghatdamn tired. I'm on here to see content, but mostly venting. They chose Mean Girl Magic over Black Girl Magic, but expect us to set ourselves on fire helping to extinguish a flaming hot mess. I'm taking care of myself and mine.

Beautiful response to "But the Dems should have messaged me harder."
