Preach @georgetakei.bsky.social! I concur!

I follow Malcolm X’s dictum to “call no man brother until he first demonstrates that he is one.” Hakeem Jeffries was in Chicago yesterday promoting his book while he has yet to even address the vicious attacks on Democrats Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and Jasmine Crockett. As you were.

Pay Attention. Gov. Mills standing up to Felon 47 about Transgender Rights! open.substack.com/pub/thewomen...

If we could get the old ass, entrenched whyte Democrats and Black trying-to-get-entrenched Democrats (particularly the men) to recognize that the vanguard of the party is now young WOC, then maybe we could get something done. #JasmineCrockett #TheRealResistance

Pay attention and PLEASE let your allies know what problems you are having if any of this relates to any of you. 🤎Muva Leslye #LeslyeJoyAllenHistorian #LeslyeJoyAllenHOEstorian #ILoveAllOfUs✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼🌈🏳️‍⚧️™️ www.npr.org/2025/02/21/n...

I posted about “The Library Dads” of Atlanta about 5 or 6 days ago! Here’s a recent update of the Dads at the Library with their kids! Follow them on IG.

#BlackHistoryFact: After Reconstruction ended in 1877, many states in the USA had laws which limited the amount or type of property a Black person could own; and often denied them the right to pass their property to their children. This did not end until the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed.

If you want to know what your representatives are focused on subscribe to 5calls.org It is simple and easy. Your #Representatives pay the most attention to phone calls where a live constituent leaves a message or speaks to a staff member. Calls carry more weight than emails.

“If it doesn’t inconvenience you, it is not activism.” —©️Leslye Joy Allen When Rosa Parks was released on bail after her refusal to give up her seat to a white man, her mother asked her, “Did they beat you?” Her Mama asked because it was ROUTINE to BEAT a BLACK WOMAN arrested for anything.

The Library Dads of Atlanta! This is the resistance. I am a proud native Atlantan!

Women, Listen Up! #CisgenderWomen #TransgenderWomen #ReproductiveRights leslyejoyallen.com/2025/02/08/c...

Preach LaVerne Cox. For cisgender Black women who think they have nothing in common with Black transgender women, think again. Trans women’s issues are litmus tests to see how they can phuck over and control the rest of us…Stay tuned.
