Ohio official drops out of MLK Day lunch after being told he can't mention DEI Commissioner Kevin Boyce said he told not to mention diversity, equity and inclusion during his keynote speech for the Columbus VA's annual MLK lunch.

So, they are so deranged that we can’t even mention DEI on the day we celebrate MLK??!! WTF??!!

Fascism is Cap
Ah yes, capitalism crumbles, and the solution? Dust off colonialism’s greatest hits: exploit, suppress, repeat. But keep poking the bear. #FAFO season is here.

Black liberation isn’t resistanceβ€”it’s the endgame.

@claycane.bsky.social I read your book and loved it! I had a tough time when I fell in love for the first time with someone who was the same gender as me 12 years ago. That is until I remembered John 3:16 after that I was good!

Black women have long carried the moral weight of this nation.

But as Nikki Free says, β€˜We’re choosing rest, healing, and self-preservation.’

This shift isn’t just overdue; it’s revolutionary.

A Third Woman Died Under Texas’ Abortion Ban. Doctors Are Avoiding D&Cs and Reaching for Riskier Miscarriage Treatments. Thirty-five-year-old Porsha Ngumezi’s case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.

NEW: Porsha Ngumezi is the fifth case we've reported on in which a woman died after not receiving a D&C or its second-trimester equivalent in time, or at all.

Her case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.

House Passes Dystopian Bill Targeting Nonprofits The Republican-led bill would give President Trump the power to strip organizations of their tax-exempt status if they are deemed β€œterrorism-supporting.”

The US House of Representatives passed a bill that can strip nonprofits of their tax-exempt status if they’re found to β€œfund disruptive and illegal activity nationally and terrorism abroad.”
