My cousin is getting married this week. I’m traveling to Italy tomorrow for it. I finally started doing my hair today. This was easily the most stressful game of Chicken I’ve ever played. But #Iwon #blackhaircare

Just called Gillibrand's office AGAIN about this.

New Yorkers, feel free to call her yourself: 202-224-4451

Everyone else, you can find your senators at reps.fyi

I stand with Rep. LaMonica McIver.

The #nottawayplantation burned down…..I’m ok with this. #goodmorning #chileanyways

What in the fresh…. UGH

Trump says he's ending federal funding for NPR and PBS. They say he can't In an executive order, President Trump directs the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to stop funding NPR and PBS. They say he can't. PBS chief Paula Kerger calls it "blatantly unlawful".

Republicans on Oversight held a hearing attacking NPR & PBS. Now Trump’s following up by slashing funding for local public media that keep families informed & kids learning. As Vice Ranker, I’m calling it what it is: an assault on truth & accountability.

Legit almost chucked my phone out of the window. What a con artist.

New Yorker cartoon of a giant monster destroying a city, flames, people fleeing, and one man points to the monster and says "Quick! Somebody get Chuck Schumer to write a strongly worded letter." Cartoon by Jason Adam Katzenstein

Chuck Schumer makes it to the New Yorker cartoon section. And not in a good way. Chuck, this is your legacy unless you seriously step up.

The way this scene had me tearing up in the theater.

It spoke to a realization I had a few days ago about the way men in my family handled loss and pain. Im glad it was kept in. It was one of my favorites.

You know one of the things I really loved about #Sinners ? They listened to their Black Women.

Protesters were stun-gunned and arrested at Marjorie Taylor Greene's town hall By the end of Greene's Tuesday town hall in Acworth, Ga., three people were arrested and two were hit with stun guns. Greene is one of many lawmakers confronted by angry constituents in recent weeks.

Emergency Prep List

Take rest my people please.

Department of Education dismisses book ban complaints, ends guidance The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights has announced that it is rescinding all past guidance issued against the removal of books.

Representative literature helps our students learn their past, grow their minds, and pursue their dreams.

This move is a step backward and an attack on our intellectual freedom. abcnews.go.com/US/departmen...

Here's some small acts of resistance:
-Get involved in your community
-Speak up when you see something
-Read banned books
-Follow creators from marginalized communities
-Refuse to comply
-Donate time and money
-Contact your reps
-Boycott (see BDS list)
-Shop local
