It was never just about schools, it was never just about libraries, and it isn't actually about the books. It's about finding a way to banish entire people, entire ideas, out of society, back into the closet or worse. www.chron.com/politics/art...

I haven’t been told I love you in the romantic sense in quite some time. Feels alien almost

“One of them is a 4-year-old with Stage 4 cancer who was deported without medication or the ability to contact their doctors, the family’s lawyer said.” Thinking about the types of people who participated in this atrocity. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Ryan Coogler’s ‘SINNERS’ is outperforming almost every single horror movie from the past decade, earning $71M domestically already. Projected to pass $100M domestic by Sunday. Read our review: bit.ly/SinnersDF

these people hate DEI because they would be unemployable in any system where they couldn’t rely on favoritism and nepotism

With the recent news story about the White House considering ways to encourage women to have more babies, I thank Chloe Anygal for reminding me that I already covered this. None of this is about us. “The haranguing of women will continue until white women are brought to heel.”

Growing up saying I didn't like scary movies only to realize as an adult I do like the horror genre but specifically through a Black lens. Lovecraft country. Sinners. 🙂‍↕️

FACTUAL STATEMENT. It may well be our largest export.

It’s a miracle any non-white, non straight, non-citizen person in America is getting any work done right now— —While the regime is actively trying to purge us from government, workplaces, universities from its websites, and from society in general.

We need A LOT MORE PEOPLE in our groups, campaigns, doing mutual aid etc... Bring your nerdy, cringe, loser selves. Revel in being uncool. Join other people who are doing things in community [mostly quietly and without fanfare]. We need many more people.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

THOSE WHITE PEOPLE WERE TALKING ABOUT DRONES IN A GROUPCHAT. TIKTOK AIN’T THE NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT. FASCISM IS THE NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT.

jupiter wishes you a very happy trans day of visibility 🏳️‍⚧️

I made this for a friend's birthday a few months ago. Then I made another one recently which I will be raffling to raise money for someone. I'll post the raffle form on Friday. A $15 donation means you are eligible to win.

They used my work 😭

The more I live the more I’m astounded by how difficult it is to keep living and to remain a person. This is WORK.

Black Women Deserve EVERYTHING!!! 🥰🌸

the denigration and distortion of "identity politics" is anti-Black. Black queer women coined and defined the term just a few decades ago, yet it's constantly demonized and stripped of its true meaning and value.

I'm genuinely disheartened by the lack of reviews/coverage for "Eyes on the Prize III," which premieres on HBO tonight. Sigh. This is, I guess, a "me" problem. But nothing you could watch this week is better. Anyway... ICYMI, my review:

Remembered that I wrote about how awful Woodrow Wilson's historic segregationist purge of Black workers from federal government jobs was last year.... www.thedailybeast.com/woodrow-wils...

Being black and aware in America is existing in a constant fugue state of being both unsurprised and endlessly tired.

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

CDC said that it now classified the #flu season as high severity for all age-groups for the first time since the 2017-18 season. Over the past 2 weeks, flu deaths have outpaced fatalities from #COVID and now make up 2.6% of all deaths for the most recent week, compared to 1.5% for COVID.

no the fuck we are NOT making “LGBQ+” a thing and if I see any of you motherfuckers using that acronym it’s on sight Marsha P. Johnson did not smash in the windshield of a police car for this

Sending me music that you think I’d like is a love language of mine 🤭😍

Begging some hero in the Department of Ed to rename the student loan record file folder "DEI training materials" before unlocking the door for the DOGE bros

Sometimes I bake...this feedback made me smile. I love my people lol.

Things only happen if people DO things. Keep fighting. www.theverge.com/news/610765/...

With the Philadelphia Eagles’ decisive win over the Kansas City Chiefs, Autumn Lockwood became the first Black woman coach to win a Super Bowl. Women have only been coaching in the NFL since 2015. www.instagram.com/p/DF6F4A5Neu...

This is a SHOT

It’s the perfect day to give a Pisces woman whatever she wants. 😊

When people do dumb shit and instead of taking accountability for it they dismiss it by saying they were joking 😑😒.... yeah that shit is aggy as fuck.

More than 8 out of 10 civilian federal employees live outside the DC region. They are your neighbors!

Sade really ate with "is it a crime" because exactly...a true lovergirl song

I need my 2025 to be as smooth as dodger blue
