Semicolon Bookstore is fundraising to keep its West Town location open. A great way to support a Black business during Black History Month ✨ thetriibe.com/2025/02/semi...

Happening now: it's 1°F outside in Chicago—a literal frozen hellscape. Furious EPA workers with AFGE Local 704 are rallying against the Trump/Musk evisceration of the federal workforce targeting new hires. Recently fired employees include those responsible for monitoring air & water quality.

After closing shop on her bookstore on the Mag Mile, Semicolon owner Dani Moore is hoping a coffee shop can save the West Town location.

"Corporate orders collapsed by 2022 as companies prioritized cheaper retailers, like Amazon. So did individual buyers and donors — all of which, over time, has left Black-owned bookstores fighting slim profit margins, high costs and declining support."

Nine individual donations away from 420, can we reach that point by 4:20 pm cst?! donorbox.org/save-the-chi...

My 92-year-old great grandfather brings up the Kendrick and Drake beef. Me: U know about the beef??? Him: U must think I’m dead! 😂😂😂😂

I never would’ve guessed Chuck Bass would be the most likable character starting season 3 😭 #GossipGirl

New by @corli.thetriibe.com ✨ “Everybody should be able to live in one community, regardless of the income that you have. You build housing that will include all," - Ald. Monique Scott. thetriibe.com/2025/02/nort...

I wrote about the life and legacy of Ronald "Kowboy" Jackson. He passed away last month and was a longtime community organizer who advocated for causes such as mental health, homelessness and police brutality. thetriibe.com/2025/02/chic...

I really want everyone to watch The Boys on Prime (yes I know). But as art reflects life, that show is a perfect mirroring of where we are now as a society.

NEW — Morgan Elise Johnson, co-founder and publisher of The TRiiBE, will be honored next month by the Chicago Defender during Women’s History Month 🥳 thetriibe.com/2025/02/trii...

Today would've been Sonya Massey's 37th birthday. She called 911 for help and instead was shot in the face on her own kitchen by a trigger-happy ghoul. No amount of money will fix the fact that her family won't get to see her grow old, but they deserve every cent. www.walb.com/2025/02/12/f...

this that grey poupon that evian that ted talk

Although she chose the show’s theme of revolutionary love before the election of President Donald Trump, Myah Jackson said that she couldn’t think of a better topic for people to be a part of during this current political moment.

I still don’t understand why we don’t have the Monday after the Super Bowl off 😐

Happy Black History Month! 🥰✊🏾

Folks had Serena Williams Crip walking in front of America 😭😭😭

Womanhood is the worst hood I ever had to go through. 😒😣

Well, that interview was underwhelming. 😑

"The only thing he accomplished was looking like a clown. Sure, maybe a legally and business-savvy clown — but a clown nonetheless."

The idea that migrants get more resources is an attack that far-right extremists have fueled to cause divisiveness between Black and brown communities, said Johnson. “We have spent 20 times more on Chicagoans than we have in this new arrivals mission. We can do both.” thetriibe.com/2025/02/mayo...

Consider visiting the Woodson Regional Library! Like the Chicago Regional Libraries it has lots of books and great activities but uniquely it's home to an incredible archive of Chicago and Midwestern Black historical materials.

Not K Dot there to receive Record of the Year!! 😭😆
