Lawyer, mother, grandmother, gamer, geek and fierce lover of Black people. Too old for BS, especially the racist or right wing kind. DM me if you do not know me already and it's instablock. Because life is too short.

Anyone who voted for the craziest version of Mr. Charlie I have seen in my lifetime and who rationalizes that this type of post from a president is anything but proof it's time to invoke the 25th is as psychotic as Donald Trump is.

Thanks, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas, who made up a new Second Amendment in 2008.

That new Scalia Second Amendment created a fake individual right to own a gun.

"Everyday People" by Sly & The Family Stone is a powerful anthem of unity, highlighting that despite differences, all people are equal and should coexist peacefully. Its messages challenged prejudice and celebrated inclusivity, as the band was one of the first major integrated rock groups.

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.

Portly Pinochet's anti-Black racism and IGNORANCE about Black history and global history knows no bounds. A Liberian who speaks "good English." My God.
