For years Danny Glover has tried to make a movie on the Haitian Revolution, & it’s been rejected by Hollywood. Why? B/c any stories that challenges the white narratives on slavery, reparations, socialism & 🇺🇸 imperialism are seen as an attack on whiteness.

Before sticking with Captain Marvel, Carol's codenames reflected her shifting power levels and personal issues:
1- Ms. Marvel: Her classic 70s-90s persona.
• Significance: Carol Danvers' debut as Ms. Marvel was significant as Marvel’s premier feminist superhero, intentionally designed to empower female readers during the Bronze Age of comics.
2- Binary: A cosmic-level powerhouse with the energy of a white hole.
• Significance: This, in part, allowed her to overcome the loss of her powers to Rogue.
3- Warbird: Late 90’s early 2000’s. A more aggressive identity used during her time with the Avengers.
• Significance: This period was marked by personal struggles, including a court-martial, before she overcame her issues to prove her worthiness to the team.
4- Captain Marvel: 2012-today.
Her permanent, global famous, top-tier mantle.
• Significance: Carol Danvers becoming Captain Marvel signified her evolution from adjunct team member, to a top-tier leader, establishing her as a powerful icon of female empowerment and the primary cosmic protector of the Marvel Universe.
To celebrate the birthday of William Shakespeare, I’m sharing a few lines from my most favorite sonnet, Sonnet 116. I’ve converted a few of my friends to its cause, and I’m hoping you’re next. Cheers!

LMFAO, that vlogger went to Nepal on vacation and ended in the middle of their revolution and ended up documenting the whole thing😂.
He became a celebrity over there apparently
BREAKING: Journalist and college professor Stacey Patton goes viral by penning a stunningly powerful statement about how she was on Charlie Kirk’s “digital hit list” and recounting the horror that he inflicted on her.
We cannot allow this tragic assassination to whitewash Kirk’s legacy…
“I am on Charlie Kirk’s hit list,” Patton wrote to her 215,000 followers on Facebook. “His so-called ‘Professor Watchlist,’ run under the umbrella of Turning Point USA, is nothing more than a digital hit list for academics who dare to speak truth to power. I landed there in 2024 after writing commentary that inflamed the MAGA faithful. And once my name went up, the harassment machine roared to life.”
“For weeks my inbox and voicemail were deluged. Mostly white men spat venom through the phone: ‘bitch,’ ‘c*nt,’ ‘n****r.’ They threatened all manner of violence,” she continued.
“They overwhelmed the university’s PR lines and the president’s office with calls demanding that I be fired,” Patton wrote. “The flood was so relentless that the head of campus security reached out to offer me an escort, because they feared one of these keyboard soldiers might step out of his basement and come do me harm.”
“And I am not unique,” she added.
“Kirk’s Watchlist has terrorized legions of professors across this country. Women, Black faculty, queer scholars, basically anyone who challenged white supremacy, gun culture, or Christian nationalism suddenly found themselves targets of coordinated abuse,” Patton wrote.
“Some received death threats. Some had their jobs threatened. Some left academia entirely. Kirk sent the loud message to us: speak the truth and we will unleash the mob!” she continued.
“That is the culture of violence Charlie Kirk built. He normalized violence. He curated it, monetized it, and sicced it on anyone who dared to puncture his movement’s lies,” she wrote.
“And now, in the wake of his shooting, there’s all this national outpouring of mourning, moments of silence, yellow prayer hands, and tributes painting him as a civil debater,” Patton continued. “But the truth is that Kirk and his foot soldiers spent years terrorizing educators, trying to silence us with harassment and fear!”
“And now the same violence he unleashed on others has come full circle.”
“But what i find especially jarring is the dissonance in public mourning for a smug white man whose life work was actively hostile to certain groups,” she continued. “Kirk spent years demonizing LGBTQ people, mocking gun survivors, spewing racism about Black folks, and pushing policies that literally shorten lives.”
“It is so revolting to watch a bipartisan wave of grief sweep over this hateful racist as if he was a neutral community servant,” she concluded.
This is pure unvarnished truth from Patton. Charlie Kirk did not deserve what happened to him, but nor did his victims deserve the hell that he unleashed on them. If Americans are going to build a more peaceful future for ourselves we must condemn political violence while also condemning the hateful, bigoted rhetoric that made Kirk a multimillionaire.
Please retweet and ❤️ if Patton’s message struck a chord with you!
The Constitution of the United States is very clear.
There is no ambiguity.
It is Congress that determines whether we go to war, not the President.
Trump must not take illegal military action against Iran.
