This must be the model moving forward...

Yrs ago there was a film out called 'The Other Side of Midnight.' I saw it w/my aunt. During the sex scene, she tried to cover my eyes, but 8y/o me yelled out, "Doesn't everybody do it?" For years, we laughed about that. Until today, when my aunt couldn't remember. The memories that dementia steals💔

I'm just a girl. Sitting in front of a rice cake, asking it to taste like red velvet cake w/cream cheese icing🙏🏾😫😭🤭 Speaking of "red," don't ever underestimate the collective power of your voice & the impact of withholding your dollars! #KeepGoing✊🏾 finance.yahoo.com/news/target-...

Dear Black Women: Return home to yourself. As often as needed...

Perhaps NOW folks might be willing to admit that white supremacy really is a bad thing🤷🏽‍♀️

BeyoncÊ becomes the first black woman to win Album of the Year at the #GRAMMYs  since Lauryn Hill in 1999.

Welp! Guess we all know that grocery prices are going to go up😏 Why not consider buying directly from Black farmers? You can start with this index that lists Black farmers by region! blackfarmersindex.com/the-index

Did you know? In 1968, 24 Black men in Pittsburgh revolutionized emergency medicine. The Freedom House Ambulance Service was established to provide emergency medical care to underserved Black neighborhoods—creating the world’s first paramedics.

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

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Pete Hegseth is the most incompetent of all Trump’s Cabinet picks. He's an alcoholic serial abuser who is unqualified for the job, and he will make our nation less safe. This was a completely reckless confirmation.

And just to be clear, there were many highly educated/degreed Black folks (often more educated than their white managers, supervisors, company owners, etc tbh) who were not allowed to work in those spaces. And if they were, they were relegated to the position of janitor, maintenance worker,etc...

Black folks better pay close attention. Trump's focus is solidly on the whitening of America, and there is zero argument about that. What will become of those of us he can't kick out of this country? We better get clear and quickly!

Stephen Miller and Homan’s goal is to shock and awe blue cities to terrify whole communities. They’ll deliberately targeting businesses, schools, hospitals churches and other places of worship. They want Americans to be afraid. Mayors and governors must stand up to them. Lawyers get on standby.

You're missing out if you don't know that this is less about illegal immigrants & more about the browning of America at a pace many white Americans are uncomfortable with. You'll note that brown & black immigrants are mainly the target, not white.

The Department of Justice has just DELETED its four-year-old webpage on the US Capitol riot investigations.

History reminds us that we did it... We did it while angry. We did it while scared. We did it while under-resourced. We did it while tired. We did while under attack. We did it together. We did it. And we’re gonna keep on doing it! Stay the course...

Yup!!

Tomorrow we celebrate Black Americans: MLK Malcolm X Travon Martin Breonna Taylor Eric Garner Tamir Rice Kendrick Johnson George Floyd Emmett Till Korryn Gaines Laquan McDonald Freddy Gray Michael Brown Ahmaud Arbery Booker T Washington W. E. B. Du Bois Ta’Kiya Young Thurgood Marshall Not Trump

Never. Forget.

"I knew that I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the ghettos without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today -- my own government... I cannot be silent." - Dr King Happy MLK Day!

A heartbreak Rest in peace Cecile Richards

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.? In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

I ask a not-so-simple favor… Tomorrow, I’ll be spending my time honoring MLK’s legacy & posting about it. Join me. My ask—stay aware. Take time later to learn what unfolds in DC. I saw a post on IG from Bernice King that I thought was perfect, and sharing a bit here. Take a moment…

True story...

Now that TikTok has officially gone dark, I’m re-upping my post from a few days ago to remind folks that this praise for Trump is wrong.

I don't need journalists telling me stories. I need them telling me facts... Also, who were you talking to before if not "All of America?"

Oooooooo let’s goooooo www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-roo...

Greg Abbott orders Texas flags to be raised to full-staff for Trump’s inauguration, based on Trump’s demands. This defies federal protocol to have flags at half-staff for 30 days to mourn the death Jimmy Carter.

The secretary of defense nominee failed to provide evidence during his confirmation hearing to support his belief that the military has worsened by admitting women into more jobs. bit.ly/4amvLfo

The mother of Randall Adjessom, 16, who was shot by SWAT police during a no-knock, predawn raid in Alabama, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the police officers involved and the city of Mobile, saying her son was “killed in cold blood.”

Been wondering if the Divine 9 etc... are taking this on too: www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/...

Innovation and memory often go hand-in-hand.

What is the message in all of the madness? In this life, do not cling too tightly to anything...except love❤️

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million. That is a lie. The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.
