True…but I’m still not going to work today…

Who is this host and why was she protecting pink Barbie?? “Don’t take that”? Like, why not??

the reason american fascists are so obsessed with patriotism is that america has always been a fascist shithole

liberals say “this is un-american!!!” as if they’ve never learned anything about our history

It’s sad that he has no idea what’s going on, just wants to be a kid, and the federal government is using all its might as a vendetta against a 5-year old boy. Sickening.

I cannot over-emphasize how important it will be for people to make a plan to vote early in-person this year.

There are some of us in fairly “safe” areas where this will not be as much of a threat, that need to be ready to fly out and create a massive front in areas that are more vulnerable.

This is amazing! Thank you for posting 👏🏾

10 Movies to Stream for Black History Month

Not only is it Black History Month. It’s also its 100th anniversary!!

To commemorate its centennial, I wrote a list of 10 Black films, one from each of the last 10 decades, to stream.

I’d donate in a heartbeat. They could all retire from the collective relief the country would feel.

An irony that, unfortunately, will totally elude him.

Feels weird to be validated that you knew so many were (are) against you…but here we are…

Thank you for posting all these replies. It’s terrifying that folks don’t read - even those that are well-intended.

Yes, he is trying to steal the 2026 midterm elections.
Yes, he is planning to run for a third term in 2028.
Yes, you are going to have to do something about it besides post on social media.
Yes, authoritarianism is here.

tomorrow the Trump administration will end the protected status of thousands of Haitian people for literally no reason other than gutter racist drivel

these people came here legally, they are being made into illegal immigrants for the purpose of ethnic cleansing

Exactly this! Dealing with this person by the standard rules as if he’ll abide by the rules is so removed from reality. He’s a ruthless criminal and must be dealt with like a ruthless criminal!

“Took to victimizing girls..when women became co-equals” is so deeply profound and disturbing. Meaning the intent was to victimize women, but since that’s now too difficult, let’s turn to girls. Terrifying.

I’m in. But let’s make it even bigger and withdraw funds from the major banks. It will halt the economy and absolutely force Congress’ hand.

They’re basically the KKK - masks instead of hoods.

I appreciate them recognizing the MULTIPLE people killed by ICE.

True. But there’s mutually beneficial ( I get a loan at a fair rate, I buy a house, I grow wealth, etc) and then there’s exploitation. This seems to argue exploitation, which points to unfairness in the transaction.

I think her point reflects the title of the article - China is getting the better end of the deal and African countries (and people) aren’t benefitting as much as they’re being exploited. Theres NO altruism in China’s investments and Africa (and its people) are and have been prime for exploitation.

I’ve always felt the folks hanging out on the street are some of the brightest and intelligent CEOs, CFOs, CMOs…just without opportunity.

“Behavioral explanations for Black poverty..he pointed out, “means having your legs cut off, and then being condemned for being a cripple.” Young Black students like Fort were pushed out of school while white teenagers who caused trouble were…given opportunities for redemption”

A must read.

Right??!! Make these stories free and available!

The government now knows they will be removed and prosecuted if there is an election.

And they will act accordingly. We cannot be surprised. We must be prepared.

I appreciate those out there protesting at great risk to their lives however i think the nation needs to grind this economy to a dead stop.
It's something everyone can do safely. No spending on ANYTHING but absolute necessities.
I understand some shut ins can not do this but very many of us can.

Yes.

It's really too bad the United States Congress no longer exists.

Bernice King has it absolutely right. We are facing a moral crisis in this country. And we must all act together to end it.
