Happy Black History Month, and yeah, we're still doing that.

Nobody is paying attention to things like this because the CDC no longer communicates. The current occupant of the White House broke government. He broke the ability to keep America safe. This is spreading, and this administration plans to pretend it doesn't exist. 828newsnow.com/news/228822-...

i'm tired of being told to stop doomscrolling. i'm just scrolling, it's not my fault there's doom on there

Checking in on Kash Patel’s confirmation hearing:

Such a refined gentleman

The little girl in this photo? Ruby Bridges? The first Black child to integrate the schools in New Orleans? The inspiration for Norman Rockwell’s painting? She has a podcast on Spotify. She’s younger than my MAMA. She’ll probably be at Mardi Gras again this year. So miss me with the nostalgia.

I know there is a lot going on but the erasure of Black people from national identity and history is also very alarming and upsetting; we’re just freaking out less publicly because we have centuries of experience with tyranny

THIS IS A BLATANT LIE AND A DISGRACE TO THE MEMORIES OF THE VICTIMS. While emergency responders are still recovering peoples' loved ones from the freezing water, Trump is using these families' pain for POLITICS by blaming their deaths on DEI. A total failure of leadership.

Someone else said this but I can't find the post... But if it's AGAINST THE LAW for him to fire them, then why is everyone accepting that they've actually been fired? Democrats should just say the inspectors general are still in office and those inspectors general should keep doing their jobs.

"Black people made up half of all births in D.C. but accounted for 90 percent of pregnancy-related deaths between 2014 to 2018...white people constituted 30 percent of births but did not experience a single maternal death." @urbanbushwoman9.bsky.social for @51st.news 51st.news/study-shows-...

The administration is murdering cancer patients

The DOJ argued in court that Indigenous people don't have birthright citizenship, even though they have for 100 years via @diinsilversmith.bsky.social

Issuing a #BookChallenge to the world asking not to challenge books! Decide not to read books in your own homes, it’s a decision between library grown-ups & library kids. Allow books to be books on bookshelves to show one they belong 💛 Every book isn’t for everyone, but every book is for someone ✨

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech.

THE meme of 2025 for me.

I kept this screenshot assuming someday we might be asked to forget.

I have been in meetings in the past 5 months where organizations are quite literally changing their names to mask the fact that they fund and aid Black people and marginalized groups and WOMEN so white people cant target them with hate and lawsuits And for good reason:

Big air hi-five across the internet to anyone else who knew they were dead serious about project 2025. No one writes that many pages without meaning it.

Welp, there you have it. The "sin of empathy."

The administration took down the reproductive rights website that women need access to. So The Skimm bought a url and brought the content back. Pass this on! Go to reproductiverightsdotgov.com

This entire project is *very expliclty* about fully purging black people and women from huge swaths of public life, employment and education. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Empathy

These fake Christians wouldn’t know Jesus if he came down from heaven and died on a cross for them…

We're Making Fox Great Again The only Fox News you should be listening to. "If they pounced to the north-east, they killed on 73% of their attacks; if they jumped in the opposite direction,,,, 60%. In all other directions, only 18% of their pounces were successful". Nat Geo

Important to really pay very close attention to the ways plural that the EOs are propaganda, as Akilah notes

School shootings get thoughts and prayers. CEO's get tip lines

Academics finishing the semester: FINALLY I can start working on my work!

I keep thinking about VP Harris saying “…a new generation of leadership” & us actually getting an old washed-up racist throwback. I can’t believe us.

After the shooting, someone said a lot of the CEO’s are afraid to return to work. Read that and now think about how our school-aged kids feel!

We teach the Fugitive Slave Act as history, not a policy proposal. www.kctv5.com/2024/12/05/1...

There is no greater compliment for an author than being asked to sign a book that is just WRECKED. Binding cracked. Pages curled. Finger grooves in the edges. A book that has been read to death, and is still a prized possession.
