Apparently ICE is trying to rebrand as “HSI” (Homeland Security Investigations), so if you see HSI on a police officer’s uniform, they’re with ICE.

Yup.

I think about this often.

I fell asleep early AND slept in! My tracker says I slept 10 hours; quite a jump from my usual 6.

The niche of my law practice is representing women, minorities and whistleblowers in vindicating their civil rights in employment.

Having done this work for years now, I have come to understand something that I feel like sharing this morning:

White people and Black people have a VERY different

you are no longer allowed to have imposter syndrome.

not after this bari omgwtf weiss situation.

you're literally not allowed to feel imposter syndrome ANYMORE

Cutie patooties!!

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets.

• Don Lemon
• Melissa Harris-Perry
• Tiffany Cross
• Jemele Hill
• Marc Lamont Hill
• Karen Attiah

More than 300k Black women being pushed out of the labor market while white men gained 365k more jobs is what we mean when we refer to racism as systemic.

Just remembered a moment from years ago: had a man I knew tell me “A woman isn’t really a woman until she gives birth.”

I legit grimaced. Ew.

More evidence today (my opinion)...

People who feel like they have religion on their side are that much more likely to behave irrationally.

Their dogma makes them feel like they operate on a higher plane...and a "get out of jail free" card.

My opinion: the US Constitution IS the higher plane.

That’s what’s up!!

I have this conversation on the regular. Ain’t no way they don’t have their own generational curses. I think it helps manifest that willful obtuseness, among other things, they got rockin.

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

I hope your Saturday is just as relaxing and filling!

"An intersectional approach to feminism requires understanding that too often mainstream feminism ignores that Black women and other women of color are the proverbial canaries in the coal mine of hate."

Currently eating second breakfast with a hot cup of coffee while watching a house being built on YouTube before I get ready to go do hair for the day. Tomorrow is wake and bake time!

Firing and demoralizing feminized jobs as enemies of the state while brazenly bribing men with violent jobs that almost instantly puts them into the middle of middle class is very basic gendered warfare. Fulfilling the manosphere’s promise.

Not all creative entrepreneurs are in the fine arts. A basic income can help bring all kinds of ventures to life.

Unconditional basic income, by laying down a solid floor, opens up every kind of possibility. You could add the work you really want to do but can't afford to presently only do. It opens time for creative, scholastic, entrepreneurial... anything.

“You know what your problem is? When a grownup tell you something can’t be done, you just believe’ em. Don’t you know there ain’t even no such thing as grownups?”
“What?”
“There ain’t, theys just all old kids, pretending.”

Every single muthafuckin day.

As I’ve said many times Americans are bigots…. They’re xenophobic. Instead of begging them to recognize that detention centers are concentration camps(and hoping they care) tell them that they’re using FEMA funding to build them. There’s no time to get people on board for the “right” reasons.
