Listen To and Vote Like Black Women

It is not insurrection to disagree with the president.
It is not insurrection to call the president a soulless piece of shit.
It is not insurrection to say a damp dishcloth would be a less destructive occupant of the Oval Office.
It is not insurrection to demand a better president.

A Budget truck with about five armed men seen inside. It's dark out and the taillights are lit. The photo is attributed to KT O'Loughin.

Going back to that raid on the South Shore apartment building. It hasn't gotten much focus that the goons reportedly traveled the same way Patriot Front does: in UHauls.

Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

the smugness of Stephen Miller in dealing with reporters is off the charts

Your daily reminder.

I love a woman who stands her ground. Adding her to my list of the badass women who have shaped our world for good. 🙏🏻

Same here!

After Columbia canceled my course on race and media, and Washington Poat fired me for speaking about race and violence,

I’m teaching about race and media anyway!

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.

Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

Let’s goooooo! Congrats sista!

This right here gets a follow from me.

This gets a follow from me.

This is your reminder 90% of all Black people did not vote for Trump in 2016, 2020 or 2024.

Listen . . . I am a proud Fisk University graduate and we got rid of our football team in 1984 because you know too busy pouring that money into academic programs 😂 When I went to my 40th reunion I had T-shirts made that said "Fisk University football -- undefeated since 1984!"🤣

This gets a follow from me. Amen.

-- Grandma from Eastman, GA + graduated college 1928
-- Taught school for ten years
-- Arrested for registering to vote in GA

-- Granddad lost left arm in combine accident; the local GA hospital didn't treat Black ppl
-- Migrated north after wife's arrest

My grand father:

-- Stood 5'3" (his wife stood 5'11")
-- Drafted + saw combat in WWII + 27 w/5 dependents + wife pregnant with twins
-- Had 13 children + married 45 years
-- Did the March in Washington

My paternal grand mother

-- Stood 5'11" (her husband was 5'3");
-- Owned an eight chair barbershop in DC;
-- Played trumpet in a jazz band on weekends;
-- Had 13 children with one man;
-- Married over 45 years;
-- Ignored institutionalizing her daughter w/Down's syndrome;
-- Had 41 grand children.

My daughter asked her great grand mother, who was 97 at the time, how did it feel to be 97 years old.

"Jessica that is precisely my problem. I am a 19 year-old young woman trapped in this 97 year-old body. That's how it feels. Getting old ain't for suckers girl."

My wife has one of these bags. If there's ever a nuclear war, I'm running to her because she has enough items in there to keep our family of five children alive for at least two weeks. Best investment ever.

My late mother graduated and pledged Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. at/from what was then known as Maryland State College! Of course she demanded all her children attend HBCUs. Maryland State/UMES put out quite a few NFL players some of whom are in the Hall of Fame. #HBCU #HBCUPride
