Rich Auntie Aesthetic Is More Than a Look; It's a Saving Grace for Black Women | Black Girl Nerds Even though the Rich Auntie aesthetic can seem superficial on social media, remember it isn’t about drinking champagne in first class.

Whether on screen or in real life, we all know at least one woman who is fully living life on her own terms. We often refer to these vibrant women as “The Rich Auntie.” For Black women, this label is more than a persona; it’s a lifestyle that more are embracing.

I am in Greenbelt, MD and am sending your campaign some financial support. You will WIN! This is exactly the change this nation needs. Keep the faith, brother!

Senator Mike Gianaris (‪@sengianaris.bsky.social) and I worked together to deliver for our public transit system, including historic new funding for better service and a groundbreaking fare free bus pilot.

That's why I didn't mind lending him our video team to deliver this important message:

This right here gets a follow from me.

On August 5, 1864 African Americans John Lawson and William Brown, serving on the USS Hartford both received the military's highest honor, the Medal of Honor, for their courage during the Civil War Battle of Mobile Bay. Both fought valiantly despite injuries and possible death. #History

On August 5, 1981, President Ronald Reagan fired 11,359 of the 13,000 air-traffic controllers who were fighting for more pay and better working hours. Reagan's life time ban on these workers destroyed this labor union that was decertified. New air traffic controllers were hired instead. #History

Harris supported a cease-fire and a two-state solution, never made a racist statement about Arabs or Muslims. In addition to racist, statements about Arabs + Muslims, Trump wants to take over Gaza, did not end the war and did nothing to alleviate the hunger that ravages men, women and children.

Facts, Mr. Clifton!

I canceled my 45 year subscription the day they abandoned Vice President Harris and have not looked back once.

Finally, a united nation.

Hochul: "I will put saving democracy as my top priority at any cost. Bc it's under siege. Just like those who put on uniforms to fight battles across the ages. For centuries we stood up & fought. Blood has been shed. This is our moment in to stand up for all we hold dear & not let it be destroyed."

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "We're here in IL, the land of Lincoln... When he was a state senator in 1840, broke quorum by jumping out of a window in the statehouse. I believe my colleagues and I are participating in a long tradition of standing up to bullies, civil disobedience, of good trouble."

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money!

Talarico and Texas Dems break quorum to Halt Gerrymandering Vote.

Thanks that's what I do!

Remember, when you vote in 2026, Republicans shut down PBS.

"The Civil War" wasn't on CBS.
"Eyes on the Prize" wasn't on ABC.
"The Vietnam War" wasn't on NBC.
"The US and the Holocaust" wasn't on AMC.
"Reading Rainbow" + "Magic School Bus" wasn't on Cartoon Network.

They were all on PBS.

FACTS

Texas governor threatens Democrats who left state to prevent congressional map vote – US politics live Greg Abbott says he will try to remove Democrats unless they return to allow vote to take place on redrawing the US House map to favour Republicans

Do you know which state has the largest number of Black residents?

TEXAS (nearly 4 million)

Trump’s demand that TX redistrict & the Republican legislature’s acquiescence is an attack on Black representation. Stand with Texas Dems.

This happened during my lifetime as well. Thank you for your fight for justice and freedom.

Thank you for this important thread. I am new to Blue Sky and I stick to one too short post of history almost daily.

I will be sure to download your latest and greatest work. So glad to have caught up with you and your great music again!

The only way to put lipstick on this pig going forward is to force government statisticians to ignore the truth and find a way to come up with and publish only numbers that make Trump look good, and that's exactly what he intends to do.
