Now I understand why #MAGA considers #Trump a “savior.”😂 WTF!😳 www.tiktok.com/@thedailysho...

Presidents of more than 500 U.S. colleges/universities have chosen to "speak with one voice against the unprecedented government overreach and political interference now endangering American higher education." Check to see if your school is on the list. www.aacu.org/newsroom/a-c...

The world was a bit more compassionate because of #PopeFrancis. Like Francis of Assisi, he was committed to caring for poor people, animals, and nature. May he be blessed with rest from his labor, and may his successor be equally committed to serving those in need. www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news...

@trendingworld.bsky.social White a great question, we all know the answer.

Trump wants to control what’s taught in colleges—but the U.S. leads the world in top universities for a reason. Because we funded innovation & let them operate freely—they thrived. Now Trump wants to gut that. Reminder: Presidents can’t legally defund schools. This is authoritarian cosplay!

#resist #Trump #CarlSagan #America Powerfully prophetic!

Listen to all of these #Republicans criticizing the use of the #IRS to stifle #freespeech. Even #Trump criticizes the action. They claim if a Republican President used the IRS in this way there would be national outrage. So why is there no #GOP outrage NOW?!

So the #Trump Administration is “killing” immigrants?

2 Killed & 6 Injured in Florida State University Shooting. Shooter was a Florida sheriff deputy's son. All #Trump said: “It’s horrible that things like this take place." U.S. school shootings by: "illegal #immigrants "= 0% American citizens = 100% www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/u...

One more example of #JDVance coming off as the bumbling, attention-seeking idiot that he is. Vance: " #Trump gets to hold something. Why can't I hold something?" Response: "That's why, stupid!" youtu.be/dqxSXB8dU1M?...

#Trump Christian heresy becoming INCREASINGLY obvious. Donald Trump's spiritual advisor faces Christian backlash www.newsweek.com/paula-white-...

#Immigration #Trump A powerful and eloquent rejection the #TrumpAdministration’s anti-immigration policies. Thank you, Mayor Wu! 🫶🏽💜 youtu.be/2q--UwGobvk?...

While #Trump attempts to spread despair and chaos by lying about what he has done, MANY of his actions have actually been BLOCKED by courts. Don’t give in to despair! www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

A tragic loss of a musical icon. variety.com/2025/music/n...

To those who voted 4 a #Trump #Economy Today’s inflation report revealed a 0.2% drop in consumer spending, a sharp reversal from last month’s 0.7% increase and the steepest month-over-month slowdown in FOUR years (for those counting, since the beginning of Biden’s term). www.pbs.org/newshour/eco...

WHO promised Iowans lower costs? The problem ISN’T that #Trump lied, the problem is voters rejected the TRUTH about his lies. Trump Republicans always promised to cut “entitlement” programs. Most white Trump voters simply failed to realize THEY were beneficiaries of such programs. Who’s #Woke now?

#KamalaHarris Watching this video may possibly be your best use of five minutes today. youtu.be/bnmKwxjMKgs?...

While #Trump has not given a reason for abruptly firing Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, this article presents a COMPELLING reason. Please don't respond without first reading the article. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

So,this is Trump’s so-called “meritocracy”? If DEI gets blamed when an OVER QUALIFIED Black 4 star general is appointed Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, what’s the excuse for picking an under qualified white 3 star general for the same position? www.militarytimes.com/pentagon/202...

I look forward to seeing the #KennedyCenter return to the "Golden Age of Arts and Culture" by hosting next year's Miss Teen USA pageant. What a joke! medium.com/bouncin-and-...

So, the man who once owned the Miss USA, Miss Universe, and Miss Teen USA pageants in order that he could grab women by “the p*ssy” will “return” the Kennedy Performing Arts Center to “A Golden Age in Arts and Culture”? How disgustingly pathetic!! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

While Trump bans refugees escaping “violent” oppression, he welcomes white Afrikaners displaced since the fall of apartheid in South Africa. A recent Trump executive order offers refugee resettlement in the U.S. to white Afrikaners. time.com/7213703/trum...

#ExecutiveOrders #Trump #MAGA #ElonMusk #BlackHistoryMonth While Trump and his supporters are attempting to "Make America Great Again," I'm reflecting on how much Nina Simone's song from 58 years ago resonates with me TODAY. youtu.be/inNBpizpZkE?...

#SuperBowl Super Bowl LIX was a powerful example of what diversity, equity, and inclusion on FULL DISPLAY looks like! medium.com/cultured-net...

The Proud Boys no longer control their name. A judge stripped the group of control over the trademark “Proud Boys” and barred it from selling merchandise without the consent of the Metropolitan AME Church. PB members vandalized the church in 2020 after a Trump rally. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...

So much for the #Trump, #MAGA, #GOP “merit “ BS!

This is another example of why #BlackHistory is American history! Before rock ‘n’ roll had a name, Rosetta Tharpe was already playing it! youtu.be/3NFywQdeKSo?...

“Make America Great Again”? Why is attempting to ensure the success of ALL people so problematic?

For the "#woke" and the "#antiwoke." Hopefully, more Americans are waking up!

#DEI #Sports #AmericanHistory #BlackHistory This is my attempt to reflect on #BlackHistoryMonth while many Americans seek to dismantle every program and undo all efforts to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in America. medium.com/thought-thin...

Southern Living featured EJI’s Legacy Sites in Montgomery, AL, as one of the top places to visit this year. The Freedom Monument Sculpture Park, Legacy Museum, and National Memorial for Peace and Justice have attracted millions of visitors from around the world since opening.

This is why it is important to make our voices heard!

#AddToBlackSky "One primary reason we have not experienced a 'revolution of values' is that a culture of domination necessarily promotes addiction to lying and denial."-bell hooks hooks's Teaching to Transgress has helped me make sense of Trump's executive order nonsense. medium.com/the-polis/ye...

“It's ridiculous to claim that the United States has ever been a meritocracy when it has had nearly 250 years of chattel slavery, 90 years of legalized Jim (and Jane) Crow segregation, and barred women from entering much of the workforce for much of the nation's history.” medium.com/the-polis/ye...

#StopTheInsanity #OMG #MAGAMadness A House Republican introduced a proposed change to the Constitution allowing #Trump to seek a third term in office. The amendment would allow any president to serve a third term if their first two terms were non-consecutive. www.axios.com/2025/01/24/t...

#MLKDay #Inauguration2025 “Observing MLK Day and the U.S. presidential inauguration presents Americans with opposing visions. One is a ‘Dream’ promoting an inclusive future, and the other a 'nightmare' promoting an exclusive past.” — @guynave2 medium.com/cultured-net...

#RFK Another example of catering to #WhiteFragility while expecting black folx to bear responsibility for themselves and the racism of white folx. We pass laws banning teaching American history that might offend white kids, but black kids need to be more "resilient." cdn.jwplayer.com/previews/IFA...

#InspiringBlackStories #KendrickLamar OMG... Kendrick Lamar just dropped a new album with NO pre-album PR!!! Music world going crazy!! open.spotify.com/track/0nj9Bq...

#DEI #Racism #MLK EVERYONE needs to listen to this for a brief history on the reality, impact, and legacy or racism in America. youtu.be/yfOAmiiMoKs?...

While explaining why it is inappropriate for white men to use the word "oppression" to talk about the plight of white men, a white male congressman used the "Exodus" as an example of white male oppression. REALLY? Moses delivered white men from oppressive Egypt? 🫣🤐 youtu.be/hCwOHgAfcMs?...

#MAGA #DictatorTrump While Kamala Harris promised to be the President of ALL Americans, Trumps presidency is about himself and his supporters. No need for me to accuse Republicans of "serving" Trump rather than serving the American people. Marjorie Taylor Greene makes that point clear.

If the child on the left was old enough to pick cotton and the child on the right was old enough to attend Klan rallies, then today's children are old enough to learn about both of these and how they've led us to where we are today.
