An organizer friend says, repeatedly, that if it weren’t for Black women leaders there’d be no organizing. The church, naacp, D9 teach them how to organize, from the ground up in many cases. That and Heritage about the other massive training infrastructures left.

They can’t be serious !!!

Does he WANT TYLENOL TO SUE THE U.S. GOVERNMENT???

I'm just writing notes to myself and making a TikTok video about Good King Harry.

The narrative is that disagreeing with him and saying he was a white supremacist = "hate."

Exactly. And folks go straight to sainthood no matter what.

It's like when my brother died by suicide. It was horrible, and I wish it hadn't happened, but I could also be honest about how he was a highly problematic and often awful person who did irreparable harm to many.

Guy on MSNBC just said Charlie Kirk is NOT A POLITICAL FIGURE. What in the revisionist history simulation hell is this?

So it’s convict leasing.

Folks still assuming there will be midterms while zooming past the collapse, pain, suffering, and death that can't be taken back between now and Nov. 26. Assuming a retrofit can happen to a building taken down by a 9.0 earthquake.

loving this so far!

I told someone yesterday that we really don't know what the U.S. will look like by Dec. 31.

It’s always the WORST possible faith and it’s like, really? Folks just attack and claim you said stuff you didn’t say. It’s exhausting.

Juneteenth: The Freedom We Knew, the Truth They Couldn't Handle Activist and poet Dr. Mustafa Ali says Juneteenth isn’t when freedom arrived — it’s when America could no longer deny it.
