Agreed. Completely disgusted. Interesting how they feel informed and educated enough to speak on things about which they’re clearly ignorant. I’d love to see the “gang bangers” join the conversation.

I think the “gang bangers” would like a seat on the couch in this conversation… 🤦🏾‍♀️

An absolute must-read showing the lifelong impacts of these rampant firings, and with Black women as a target. Heart wrenching stories.

It is imperative that people understand that PRIMARIES is where we choose new candidates

This is disgusting. And I can’t help but think that her being Black adds to the disregard of the suffering of the family.

Many very bad proposals are embedded in the budget reconciliation package heading through Congress.
This one is the most dangerous.

Defend the liberty of a stranger as you would defend your own, or that of a loved one, because that is what's actually on the table—whether we are a society that will sit still as our neighbors are snatched in the night, and disappeared into darkness, or a society that will fight for each other.

Good point. Same thing happened to me when my mom passed last year. And it was quick, like days. Honestly shocking when you’re mourning the loss of a very much loved one.

Shirley Chisholm wasn’t just the first Black woman elected to Congress—she was ‘Unbought and Unbossed.’ 🗳️ Her legacy paved the way for more women in politics.

As long as you wield it like Al Green did, you’re good.

This is what community looks like - coming together to serve without taking advantage of its citizens.

How traumatizing for these employees. “I’m back to work, but who do I really work for now??”

The cause of homelessness is not simply, not having a home. It’s unaddressed trauma, untreated mental health struggles, and systemic barriers that keep people trapped. To truly end homelessness, we must go beyond shelter, we must heal, support, and empower people at the root of their struggles.

So true. “Active” being the key word because it takes sacrifice.

Which means the oppressors are still alive too - handing down the instruction manual on how to be an effective oppressor.

would love to hear about it from a variety of women because I'm starting to see how as a Black woman I haven't felt this as new or distinct, especially with the anti-Black backlash of the past few years.

Yes. It’s either acting aggressively or ignoring as if you don’t exist.

Exactly this. I don’t know what it’s going to take for folks to REALLY wake up. I’m in preparation and community-building mode.
