For 500 years, across multiple generations, we have let White people bamboozle us into thinking that they don’t understand racism, white privilege, or white supremacy. They know and still keep cashing in on a system that empowers them. Racism is their creation. 1/3

I honestly hope that if people hear this coming from me then maybe it will sink in you DO NOT need to get arrested. We live in a surveillance state, an arrest now does not carry the same consequences as arrests in ‘68. The state is violent & will escalate on you. You should avoid arrest if possible

PSA to all "Resisters" out there: Stop fucking taking photos/video at literally ANY kind of protest, community event, or other action. Social media doesn't need your "Saving Democracy!" scrapbook, and your innocent lil crowd photo could be the reason someone else is arrested, prosecuted, or killed.

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

Reminder: You will leave the past in the past. You will leave the future in the future. You will only concentrate on the present. You will slow down and focus on one thing at a time. At this moment, you're doing the best you can and living your best life. I'm proud of you for that

In summation, a qualified Black man got fired and will be replaced with a white man who doesn’t meet the qualifications for the position.

If you want to fight fascism? Wear a mask. If you want to show solidarity with disabled people? Wear a mask. If you want to protect your own health? Wear a mask. If you recognize that no one is coming to save us? Wear a mask. My ultimate guide to respirators:

On a Friday night Hegseth factually said his goal was to punish a qualified Black person “protecting” the nation And folks saw it coming and did NOTHING And there’s no actual damn plan for better For mutual aid and not a SINGLE commitment to Black people

a lot of people want to not be held responsible for slavery and indigenous genocide but want to hold onto the generational wealth and preferential structures resulting from them. I mean, I know it's obvious but I think it should probably get said out loud a lot more often

another great example along with Wired and Teen Vogue of how real journalism these days can be a lot braver at outlets where no one is trying to get in good with the White House press secretary they’re out here with us, reporting on what’s happening to us all, instead of trying to get inside access

When people want to talk to me about the backlash against US higher ed but don't want to mention racism, this is one of the key reasons I become very annoyed (Also the data used to create this post had its contract canceled this month so are won't be able to track things like this in the future)

Welcome to today's episode of Shut The Fuck Up Friday! Check out this video for some tips from a local lawyer for those of you headed out to the streets to protest. You're a target of the state when you take action. NEVER talk to police & always STFU! Full video in thread👇

Malcolm X was assassinated 60 yrs ago today. See his timeless wisdom on the true meaning of “progress.” “If you stick a knife 9 inches in & take it out 6—that’s not progress. Progress is healing the wound. They wont even admit the knife is there.”

I haven't ruled out the results of repeat Covid infection being cordyceps-like. It's as plausible an explanation for the mass disinterest in self preservation as anything.

It is so weird living in a new reality that most people can't even see. Million of people think they're still living in a world that no longer exists. Wildly disconcerting times.

I’m @ $39/$1K as of this repost, and I’m thankful for every cent! The sooner I can meet this goal, the more of this weekend I can spend focusing on my boys. I will update if/when I get any booking invoices paid. Please keep spreading the word and help if you can ❤️

For the record, it is not common for journalists to use AI to draft articles. Certainly not at reputable outlets. I helped draft STAT’s AI policy and we specifically forbid that. www.statnews.com/stat-policy-...

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

It's been 45 years of calling the federal govt wasteful and during that time period people had very little grasp of what the federal govt does or that message originates from businesses that want to get away with under paying people and selling and releasing poison

Again I am begging people in the media to note the legality of these actions in their headlines or blurbs. A post office is literally written into the constitution.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.
