Latino migrants are the target now, but when Trump floated the idea of sending American citizens to the concentration camp in El Salvador, alarm bells immediately went off for Black people.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

so wait…when he says ‘warrior ethos’ he means the Ultimate Warrior?

I’m still looking for the poor mother who read “grumpy monkey” to her 4-year old and was horrified to wake up the next morning to discover reading the book turned him chimpanzee.

We can quibble about how silent it has been, but Facebook

lately it’s been thinking what it must be like to be the mother of one of the 50 or so trans girls who just want to play sports, have fun and be part of a team

absolutely *wild* that the same outlet that employs Nikole Hannah Jones also publishes basura like this

Predator Pete sharing attack plans feels like when a 4th grade boy learned you can write “boobies” on an upside-down digital calculator and giddily shows every other boy in class

you know what’s funny? the Black lady said her administration would give new parents $6,000 to help ease material costs of having a baby. but y’all voted for white supremacy.

thissss

Tonight is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. May his memory remind us all to resist the tyranny forming in our government.

I’ve been a paid writer my entire adult life and I am truly struggling to come up with the words for these ghouls and what we’re witnessing

Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

healthy food, comfortable shelter and health care for all. and just let people live their lives - you don’t have to understand it but as long as they aren’t actively harming others, let them be happy.

literally wore my “love is an action word” sweatshirt today…saying it is nice but showing it is way better

a mf queen 👸🏽 protect her at all costs

anyone still listening to/watching Kendrick’s halftime show at least three times a week?

is it really “viewpoint diversity” if they’re all nazi-supporting nepo babies?

had this exact thought. they were quick to bend to pressure to get the Black woman out

oh fck these people. they knew what he would do, he’s doing it and they’re still silent.

gahdamn the reality of this. as much as I want to be a grandmother I’m starting to believe I should suggest my kids don’t have children of their own (they’re 22, 11 and 9)

If you believe in law over lawlessness, facts over fear, and action over abjection—support the work that meets the moment. Join us today. The moment is now Song credit: @dropkickmurphys.com contrarian.substack.com

these dumbasses didn’t do a single second of research before wrongfully going after a woman they thought was as helpless but whose family has the time, money, and connections to bankrupt their company. way to go idiots

he already hates Black folk and now he’s targeting Boston in multiple ways because Mayor Wu won’t bend the knee. so here we are:

super interesting…not a surprise that Chisholm was treated unfairly by American press, but this explains part of the how

weird how “religious liberty” means freedom from baking a queer cake but not protecting migrants seeking sanctuary

if you don’t end up dead broke from the decisions that only benefit those who have bought access, you’ll just end up dead. great country.

why is the house on fire? they asked, still holding the accelerant and the matches.

👀👀 seems like Kraft thought he’d skate on his name but so far my fellow Bostonians aren’t buying it

Millions peacefully protested last week—but many Black Americans stayed home. As @shalisemyoung.bsky.social explains, history shows who bears the brunt when rights aren't equally protected.

the protests last weekend were great but a lot of Black people decided to sit them out, for a few reasons -

when you bend the knee, they’ll still keep kicking you in the face. good job, Columbia.

the good times keep rollin’

but on the bright side, “I know why the caged bird sings” was pulled from the naval academy library and like 25 trans girls can’t play sports! /s just to be crystal clear

Jennings is a twat generally, but like the 🤡 he has pledged fealty to he knows he cannot compete with the intelligence of Black women so he always resorts to childish insults.

I know nothing matters, but they’ve demonized soros and “globalists” endlessly. and now you’ll be disappeared if you meet their idea of anti-semitic? I can’t.

Y'all are going to be begging for DEI to come back. Because this is peak whiteness right now, and it's looking pretty damn inept.

literally speechless. in a basket chock-full of deplorables, homan might be the most unrepentantly vile of all. and that’s a really, really high bar to clear.
