Slightly diminish a band:

(I cheated a bit)

That white Marine who fatally strangled a homeless black man on the subway got invited to Trump’s suite at a football game and got a job at a vc firm.

They’ve definitely told us what it is.

Yes, use the fuck out of your libraries, and harass your friends about getting their library cards.

To work in the basement of a pizza shop?

She. Sexually. Abused. Minors. Herself.

well, @sallygilliamart really did something special with the cover art

If you're arguing with a fool, so are they.

(Said to a fools face when they demand to know why you won't argue with them.)

From “Support Black women” to crickets | Shay Stewart-Bouley For the better part of a decade, it was common to see hashtags and think-pieces admonishing people to support Black women and to trust Black women, but in the last few years, as the post George Floyd ...

300,000 Black women have left the labor market in a three month period this year, and it's estimated that the unemployment rate for Black women is as high as ten percent but none of this is getting much traction. So, I wrote about it on my blog.

My Facebook memories this week are filled with beating Andy Ngo in court two years ago 🙏

He sued us for a million dollars over my first amendment right to yell at him. I won

The KKK marching in Washington, DC in 1925

Sanctioned white supremacist terror squads descending upon Black DC, then & now.

On that stage you have a convicted felon, you have an FBI Director who pled the Fifth in a grand jury investigation, you have a SecDef who had to pledge to sobriety to get confirmed, and you have a US Atty who helped saddle her former employer with an $800 million settlement.

No one wants crime — well, maybe if you’re trying to overthrow the U.S. Capitol. That said, the most violent state in the U.S. has been Alaska — for years. Alaska’s population is nearly the same as D.C.’s (702k vs. 745k).

So… where’s the National Guard for Alaska?

The National Guard is the offspring of compulsory State Militias.

State Militias were formed regularly to conduct slave patrols.

Today, those in the National Guard didn't sign up for this, those in ICE did.

ICE will be repurposed to re-enslave Black people, unless white people realize the gravity

During the George Floyd Civil Rights protests in DC, Trump ordered the military to carry bayonets

This time, he will order them to be used

White reporters tried to convince you it was "standard issue" for military, and now it will be....again

No. This is not new.

Go back over time and listen to his rhetoric about "taking back" American cities in 2016 when he accepted the nomination.

It's just people didn't believe him.

It's like Black people are shadows because white people do not see us for real.

Let me hold y'alls hands and say...

From the Access Hollywood tapes, to impeachment to his racist sayings to actually being convicted-- not one of these things has brought Trump down.

Law firms: caving. Media orgs: caving.

Wishful thinking rather than facing the reality of Trump's raw power.

Seems really, really bad.

You can tell the world has gone to shit because last time I was at the dentist the hygienist asked me if I was regularly flossing and I said that I only do it sometimes and she was like yeah that’s fine I don’t really care

How The Sweet Potato Crossed The Pacific Way Before The Europeans Did The genes of the root vegetable have a juicy story to tell of trans-oceanic adventure. A DNA analysis of sweet potatoes adds evidence to the theory that ancient Polynesians visited South America long ...

We know that Polynesians had contact with indigenous South Americans hundreds of years before Europeans “discovered” the Americas because the Sweet Potato traveled from South America to Polynesia between 1000AD and 1100AD

Does coffee count?

(would be in all caps, but alas, not enough coffee yet)

Public health isn’t flawless. Not by measure. But it’s what we have and we need to preserve what we can. The alternative is having nothing and I can assure you that’s much worse.

“We are born with love. Life is about choosing the right place to put it.”

I legit think the moral damage Trump winning twice did to society by normalizing misogyny will take generations to repair.

YouTube video by Interactive Biology The Cardiac Cycle is SO EASY! Stop Making it Hard!

For my non-medical followers, This Black man is much better than #AI at explaining the #cardiaccycle, but it’ll soon be illegal to have intelligent “DEI” actual humans explain things.

If you're a reporter who wants to talk about why 300,000 Black women leaving the labor force is bad for the economy, let me know.

TLDR: Black women's labor market outcomes are an economic indicator that people keep ignoring and shouldn't be. #econsky #blacksky

Cursive has been dwindling in use and application since Bush passed "No Child Left Behind," I believe. And that program is accidentally ironic because it's harmed so many children's educations.

I want to be able to hand my iPad over to a kid, hit or swipe something, and have the iPad’s settings default to the usual “no porn, no weird searches, no bad stuff” settings for all the apps.

Does anyone know how to do this?

I plan on recording some this coming month, and it'd be my pleasure to share it with you when I've done so!
