Dear ableist, if you think applying for PIP + other benefits is easy, try it yourself + let us know how you get on. I dare you to call the DWP + tell them you have anxiety or adhd (those conditions you incorrectly believe are nothing) and ask for benefits. See what happens. #DisabilityBenefits

A Black woman trying to create a Kardashian face is so confusing to me. Why are you whittling your face to look like a Kardashian? The Kardashians are trying to look like YOU!

WHAT DO WE WANT?! We Don’t Know! WHEN DO WE WANT IT? Before Black People !

Same, I hope the #HandsOff people remain committed and consistent.

Kickoff in Philadelphia. #handsoff

#RIP to #PowWow of the pioneering #SoulsonicForce 🙏🕊️

If you come on this sky app and say, "nOT ALL whiTE PeopLE," just know Black folks will never, ever trust you. Ever. Period.

How dare Kamala Harris chuckle at the idea of saying "I told ya so" after she spent MONTHS telling you what was coming and you ignored her warnings? We're not gonna spend each day in sackcloth and ashes because white people are finally suffering the consequences of their own actions. Own your shit.

They girlboss yassified Gilded Age space tourism. It's not a "crew." These people are not astronauts, they are passengers. This is not feminism. This is not anywhere in the neighborhood of feminism. This is the glossy capitalist influencer ripoff known as "empowerment" and it's just gross!

Cue stupid diet pills instead of actual medication. And forcing seniors, disabled,veterans and the poor off Medicaid and Medicare into some bullshit Advantage plan by forcing them to go to work to PAY for insurance.

Get her into the Senate, New York, I beg you

A quick note on Social Security. If you make $176,000 per year your SS tax is $10,918. If you make $5,176,000 per year your SS tax is $10,918. Want to save Social Security? Remove the cap and it will be funded for centuries.

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse. 2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report." 3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes." This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

Now I'm even more concerned about Kilmar Abrego Garcia's safety. For those of you familiar with authoritarian regimes, you know why. I pray for his safety and I pray for his family.

Lawd, Jardiance and Burger King are in a contest for the most remixed commercials ever🤦🏾‍♀️

Love this! Saints DT Khalen Saunders hosting LGBTQ+ inclusive youth football camp. #pride

cnbc front page just before 3pm on friday 4.4.25 the president himself is off to a golf event.

57 years ago today, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, TN. The civil rights icon steadfastly advocated for equality and justice right until his very last day on Earth. Pause a moment today, to honor his memory.

🌹 57 years ago today, my mother was crying in the kitchen. Next to her was a newspaper. 🌹 Martin Luther King and been shot. 🌹 I was but a lad grabbing for a lunch bag before school, but I knew of King. 🌹 My mother's eyes told me I could never know enough about this great man. 🌹 Celebrate him.

Of course Blacks and Latinos get blamed for his rejection. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Kamala Harris: There were many things that we knew would happen.. I’m not here to say I told you so
