Yesterday, I gave a testimony at the New York State Community Commission on Reparations Remedies public hearing in Harlem.

Let’s lay it all out 🃏

[Equal Justice Initiative @eji_org]

On this day in 1921, white mobs in Oklahoma—outraged that Black residents had organized to protect a Black man from lynching—violently destroyed a prosperous Black community. As many as 300 Black people are estimated to have been killed in the Tulsa Massacre.

The Doctor Who created the Red Cross blood bank, died because he could not benefit from it. True story. because of racism.

Everyone is noticing that Chick-fil-A chicken is very different lately

The texture of the chicken has changed. More and more you see this “spaghetti meat” chicken that’s very unnatural and unappealing

This “spaghetti meat” condition affects a huge percentage of commercial broiler chickens now

Modern chickens are grown so extremely fast the breast muscle outgrows its blood supply and connective tissue strength

The muscle fibers weaken and don’t hold together well, so when you bite and pull, the meat separates into long stringy strands

Modern chicken grow in half the time they used to in the past

Our food is a science experiment

Ice cream shop working whistleblowing on DoorDash

He shows that their system says the driver is “waiting for order”

He moves the camera and show there is nowhere there or anywhere close by

This is why why you order DoorDash it sometimes appears the driver is at the location forever, and you’re wondering what the heck is going on

It’s a lie. The system just says they are there when they aren’t

This is why food likely comes cold when it’s supposed to be hot or not cold when it’s supposed to by cold

🚨USDA WHISTLEBLOWER: 70% of Supermarket Ground Beef is PINK SLIME

Former USDA scientist Gerald Zirnstein — the man who coined “pink slime” — now grinds his own hamburger because he refuses to buy store meat.

Here’s the truth:

In 2018 the USDA quietly reclassified pink slime as “ground beef.” It can now be mixed into any ground beef with zero labeling or disclosure.

Pink slime is beef trimmings once used only for dog food and cooking oil. The industry heats the waste, spins it in a centrifuge, sprays it with ammonia gas to kill bacteria, compresses it into bricks, flash-freezes it, and adds this cheap filler to most supermarket ground beef.

Zirnstein and fellow scientist Carl Custer warned it was a salvage product, not real beef. Their bosses — with industry ties — overruled them.

Zirnstein calls it economic fraud.

Your “ground beef” isn’t what you think it is.

Newspapers published during the era of the American Revolution contributed to the perpetuation of slavery. Advertised 250 years ago today: "TO BE SOLD, A LIKELY young NEGRO MAN ... LIKEWISE, A young NEGRO GIRL ... Inquire of the Printer." (New-York Journal 5/30/1776)

Be careful when buying bananas! 👇

‼️ We're sure you've noticed stickers on bananas at least once in your life. But have you ever wondered what they mean?

👉 If they have a 4-digit code on them that starts with the numbers 3 or 4, it means that the product was grown using the principle of intensive agriculture, which also implies the use of fertilizers and pesticides.

👉 If a product has a 5-digit code that starts with the number 9, it means that the product was grown in a conventional way, as it has been done for thousands of years. This method is now called “organic”, in other words without the use of pesticides and fertilizers.

👉 If a product has a 5-digit code that starts with the number 8, it means that the product is genetically modified or commonly known as GMO.

NEW: Prison guard sentenced to 25 years in prison for beating an inmate to death in New York.

Former Mid-State Correctional Facility guard Jonah Levi was one of the guards who beat inmate Messiah Nantwi to death.

Nantwi was hit 69 times with batons, feet, and fists. Levi was accused of stomping on the 22-year-old's head, who later died at the hospital.

"I think the real you was shown to me in the body-worn camera," Judge Michael Nolan said during sentencing.

"You were fist-bumping other officers, laughing and joking while Mr. Nantwi lay on the floor, dying in the infirmary because of the things you and those other officers did."

All the other guards pleaded guilty in plea deals.

Levi was hit with the maximum sentence of 25 years in state prison with five years of post-release supervision.

He will be 65 years old when he is released from prison.

STOP using credit cards, switch back to CASH!

Target locations are beginning to charge customers the “merchant fee” on every item they purchase

This is the cost of credit and debit card processing fees

Big box retails like Target have paid these fees in the past but has decided to now pass the cost onto the customer

There was a major legal change with the ‘2025 Visa Mastercard interchange fee antitrust settlement with merchants’

This settlement gave retailers more legal leeway to stop fully absorbing fees and start passing some costs to card users

No wonder Woody gets sturdy because he is black.
Most people have no idea that Woody from Toy Story was named after a real person, a Black man named Woody Strode who broke the NFL color barrier one year before Jackie Robinson integrated baseball. 🔥

You think you're just eating "cheese"?

Think again.

~90% of American cheese uses a lab-engineered FAKE RENNET called FPC (fermentation-produced chymosin) — originally developed and PATENTED BY PFIZER in 1990.

Today’s version is made by splicing the calf chymosin gene into black mold (Aspergillus niger) using CRISPR gene-editing, then fermenting it in giant vats. Big Food gets cheaper, uniform cheese bricks with zero eal animal rennet.

FDA called it “substantially equivalent” with zero long-term safety studies. It hides on labels as:
- “enzymes”
- “microbial enzymes”
- “vegetarian rennet”

Many blame dairy for bloating or reactions… but a growing number are realizing it’s the GMO mold residue.

Real animal rennet = what our ancestors used for thousands of years.

How to avoid the Franken-cheese:
• Demand “animal rennet” or “calf rennet” on the label
• Skip anything “microbial/vegetarian/enzymes”
• Go for artisanal, raw-milk, European imports, or local cheesemakers
• Organic + Non-GMO Verified is safer

They turned one of humanity’s oldest superfoods into another ultra-processed science project.

Stop eating it. Your gut (and ancestors) will thank you.

Before 911 existed the way it does today, a medical emergency in a Black neighborhood could mean one thing. A cop showed up.
Or a mortician. No treatment. No CPR.
No IV. Just a ride. That changed in 1967 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania?‼️🤔

A Black neighborhood once stood where the Pentagon sits today. It was called Queen City.
Families lived there for years before the government seized the land and cleared the community to build the Pentagon. This is the story of what happened?‼️🤔

Most people think slavery only happened in the South... but in 1851 nearly 500 Mormon settlers brought dozens of enslaved people to California, a state where slavery was already illegal, and never told them they were free.

👀 One of those enslaved people was a woman named Biddy Mason who walked 1,700 miles on foot from Mississippi, took her enslaver to court when she finally learned the truth, and died one of the wealthiest women in Los Angeles. There is a monument in San Bernardino honoring the men who built this city... but there is nothing honoring the enslaved people who built it?‼️🤔
