If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

Never. Forget. Never. Forgive. ✨

February is Black History month.

MESSAGE!! 👏🏾👏🏾🗣️🗣️🗣️

Hyper independence might be the death of me one day

Ellen Weintraub, chair of the Federal Election Commission, announced that President Trump sent her a letter declaring her immediate removal. However, Weintraub rejected the action, stating it was not legally valid.

wow just logged off and there are problems there too

I created these self-study guides for my high school students but they work for anyone who wants to learn a bit about Black History and it’s global impact. Black in Paris The Black Panthers The Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 (& it’s zombie in Mississippi’s HB 1484) open.substack.com/pub/shannami...

Are you better off today than you were 16 days ago? No, you are not. Don’t try to gaslight me.

it's important to remember that black history isn't just about movements and towering figures. some of you are the first in your family to graduate, own a business, own a home, educate others, seek therapy, master a recipe, share your art, rest, come out a closet, etc. that is black history too.

Am I worried too much, or are most people not worried enough?

‘Cowboy Carter’ by Beyoncé wins the #GRAMMYs  award for Album of the Year.

Doeschii is unreal

Our coalition is a peaceful resistance—a group of tree-huggers dedicated to keeping Americans informed.

All I see is white people arguing over who’s to blame for what’s going on while completely ignoring people of color, most especially Black and Indigenous people. I don’t care if you’re American or Canadian, white supremacy is how we got here.

I’m proud of my blackness, always will be.

I LOVE BLACK PEOPLE!!!!

HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH YALL!!!!!THIS MONTH IS FOR US BY US. DON’T LET NOBODY DISTURB YOUR PEACE.

It’s Black History Month! MAKE SOME MFN NOISE! 🗣️

Happy Black History Month ✊🏿✨

My coworker is an immigrant from Afghanistan. She said “I survived three wars. If you have lentils and water, we can get through this. I will make sure.”

February is Black History Month. If you aren't already, honor Black authors by reading their books now, and in the future.

DEI is not the problem. N*zis. N*zis are the problem.

Absolutely will NOT forget

In my years of reporting on LGBTQ news this was by far the hardest. But we are still here. You made it to Friday. You lived. Good job. That wasn’t easy. Through a diversity of tactics, we will continue to live. Rest up, drink water, find community, so that we can all be here tomorrow too.

my upstairs neighbors had a baby who turned into a toddler who very recently learned how to run. how do I know? speedy little footsteps across my ceiling, back and forth. as far as upstairs noise goes it’s pretty adorable

De-Nazify shit.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

Over on the other site Elon Musk said that DOGE stopped $50M of condoms from being delivered to Gaza which Trump the repeated several times but it turns out that was the number for all contraceptive support from USAID everywhere on Earth, of which none went to Palestinians.

work in progress!! 🐛 due to the overwhelming demand from my previous post of this piece, I will be auctioning it off on ebay! it should be happening in the next day or two. my username is shopenchantedplanet. i’ll let you know on bluesky as well when it’s going up! will be a buy it now option too!

I refuse to let the next 4 years ruin the time I have here. I will have joy. I will laugh. I will rest. I will dance. I will sing. I will spend time with folks I love. I will find ways I can help my community. I will find the beauty. I will hold on to peace. I will live. I will have joy.

February will ALWAYS be Black history month. EVERY month will ALWAYS be the month to celebrate the Black community. I will defend Black History being taught and respected till my dying breath.

A reminder that you should recite to yourself every morning until late Feburary: it is Month One of this administration, they will not be any stronger than they are this week, and they will not be any more popular than they are this week. We win if we endure.

This administration looked at the history of torture that occurred in Guantanamo Bay and saying…”good idea.” I am absolutely horrified.

If you wanted no leaks you should have gone into Settings -> Security -> Configure privacy & security -> Privacy options -> Other -> Configure -> Media interface and clicked “Disallow.” The Leak setting is on by default but we understand your privacy is important so we’ve made it easy to opt out

Don’t let what we are witnessing harden you. Yes it’s heartbreaking. Yes it’s devastating. Yes it’s painful. That very pain that you are still able to feel is an affirmation of your humanity. Fight to hold on to it. Fight to maintain it. Fight to keep your heart soft. Remain fiercely human.

A lot of us aren't doing "ok." We are going to have to share this weight with each other. Alone ain't sustainable.

If you find yourself reconsidering where to buy your books in light of Target ending DEI, don't forget your local independent bookstores! I'll happily spend a bit more, and wait a little longer for my pre-ordera #booksky #target

Just a reminder. The library is free to use. Free to check out books and DVDs. Free to take your kid to Story Time. Free to ask a question. Free to sit quietly for a minute. Or an hour. #supportyourlocallibrary
