Ann Lowe was the Black genius behind Jackie Kennedy’s iconic wedding gown.

Before the fashion world was ready to credit a Black woman’s talent, Lowe was already designing for America’s most powerful families. Brilliant. Bold. Innovative. Undervalued. And nearly erased from history.

In the face of fear and oppression, our greatest strength lies in unity. Despite being broken and humiliated, residents of a Chicago apartment building rise together, finding power through their struggle.

"This Court’s eagerness to playact a district court here has serious consequences,” Justice Elena Kagan said after the ruling. “The majority calls its ‘evaluation’ of this case ‘preliminary.’ The results, though, will be anything but.”

(We have to all agree that sharing AI made things is still supporting AI or all our anti-AI talk will be for nothing because even if you’re not using it, you’re giving incentive (engagement) to people who do use it to make them keep using it by making what they made go viral)

Like I know it’s tempting but virality is currency and if we really want to render AI powerless we gotta start scrolling right past that shit.

Racism is baked in the fabric of this country from the beginning.

You can deride Critical Race Theory as “woke” all you want, but you can’t fight reality.

Mockler: It's honestly humiliating that other countries are treating our president like a child, like a baby. It's like if I created a peace prize and I gave it to myself. I'm like, I'm just going to keep this medal on all night. Our president is an actual child

The original Imitation of Life (1934) with Louise Beavers and Claudette Colbert is one of my faves and never fails to break my heart. All due to the incredible depth of Ms. Beaver’s performance as the mother who only wanted to love her daughter and have that love returned openly. Ugh! 💔💔💔

Many of these movies are out of circulation.

There was a robust movie industry for Black stories during the 1920’s-1950’s.

The movies weren’t shown in whites only theaters and many were banned from majority white cities.

But they existed & explored real world issues in our communities.

I recommend we all take a breath before sharing things that may seem to be real or we want to be real, and determine whether or not it's real. For example, no matter who reports something, wait for multiple confirmations, learn more about the topic, etc. It's better to be informed than first.

Ok...here's the 2nd version of my auntifa shirt. I'm not joking when I say I love this 1 more. I'm thinking of doing protest posters & stickers of this one.

Anyhoo...a very limited run (I'll do something or more after the holidays) is available now.

Spent some time this week volunteering with my team at the @fooddepository.bsky.social.

This holiday season and beyond, we’re making sure that all of us in Illinois can thrive. If you have the opportunity, get out and volunteer — we’re all in this together.

Nothing y’all have done since Bernard got upset about a Black Man being POTUS has gotten us any progress. Y’all should rename yourselves REGRESSIVES because you’ve done nothing but take us back and pissed away the rights and progress MY ANCESTORS fought & bled for.

You want solidarity?

Notice how the entire social media-to-cable-news horseshoe is obsessed with blaming Biden and Harris for the current shitshow. This is another indication of just how bad the current environment is for the GOP and their POC collaborators.

White America doesn’t have the collectivity to effectively “boycott” a political decision.

Sad thing is, it would only take 3% or so of white Americans, 7 million or so, to bring about change.

Wait... did Brian Krassenstein just admit he voted for Trump?

I have that grifter blocked, but I know a TON of liberals, leftists, and Democrats that follow that idiot. You should probably unfollow. That pair of brothers are dishonest grifters.

The most prominent ‘racist’ account on the platform is based out of Turkey and some of the biggest white-nationalist content creators are sponsored by gambling companies. X is literally a video game for opportunistic sociopaths and Elon is the chief designer.
