not your backdrop for war games
or Black pain on replay.

no more taxes
with no voice.
no more boots
to stomp our choice.

this ain’t chaos.
this clarity.
not a riot—
but a prophecy.

— Epstein Survivors Speak—

they called it scandal.
we called it rape.
he flew first class,
we prayed escape.

the cameras flashed,
they turned their backs.
girls in chains
while men made stacks.

america shrugged.
power grinned.
but we remember
everything.

Upcoming 'upgrade' to Holocaust Museum exhibit on US response to Nazi Germany sparks some staff concerns: Sources A Holocaust Memorial Museum exhibit will temporarily close for upgrades, sparking concern from some staff over potential changes amid President Trump's review of museums.

"Upgrade?"

The Felon Administration is putting pressure on the Holocaust Museum to 'upgrade' the US response to Nazi Germany during WW2.

They will whitewash the awful part of history when America turned away fleeing Jews. Many had to return, resulting in death.😢✡️

“Listen”

how many prayers
must we stack
before the ceiling cracks?

how many babies
must we bury
before the ground
refuses us?

stop calling it tragedy
when it’s policy.
stop calling it freedom
when our children
are the collateral.

we deserve a country
that loves them enough
to keep them alive.

Slavery was nothing less than physical & psychological trauma—built on sex trafficking and rape, on brutalization & the destruction of families, on cultural erasure & economic exploitation. It gave rise to institutionalized racism, stole futures, corrupted morals, entrenched generational inequity,👇🏾

White House announces Smithsonian review amid Trump’s cultural reckoning The administration wants the museum system to “celebrate American exceptionalism” and “remove divisive or partisan narratives” ahead of the country’s 250th anniversary.

When a racist wants to impose HIS views on US cultural and historical institutions and purge materials focused on diversity; that's white supremacy at work.

You're lying if you say it isn't. 🔥☕️

“Every day I wake to see another so-called leader bow down, kiss the ring, and sell their soul—and I hear Dr. King in my head: In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”

Trump and the GOP’s goal is to “exterminate” the disability community These are the stakes!

“They want to exterminate us.” Those were the blunt words of Steve Way—a long time disability rights activist—to describe Trump and the GOP’s multi-front war targeting the disability community. My new article on an issue that demands far more attention: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trump-and-...

Scorched by Design: Extreme Heat, Redlining, and Neglect Dr. Mustafa Ali says our growing sacrifice zones expose whose lives we truly value — and whose we’re still willing to let burn.

Urgent👇🏾

Redlining didn’t end. It just evolved.

Now it shows up as heat strokes, broken ACs, and no FEMA in sight.

This ain’t just about climate.
It’s about whose lives they’ve already written off.
