[State Rep. Angie Nixon @AngieNixon]

Folks have insulted:

My Southern drawl.
My loc’d hair.
My clothes.
My shoes.
My intelligence.
I’ve been called a ghetto Black
b!t€h.
Now @JDVance says I don’t belong and should leave the very country my ancestors helped build.

This is a lot y’all. It is.

[Tanisha Long @Tanishaevonne]

Make sure the apology is just as loud as the lie.

1Hood received less than 100k in REIMBURSEMENT grants from the city. Not millions.
Those receipts you were demanding they show? They already had to show in order to get paid.

[Erica Fights 2 WIN! @epayne105]

@1hood Thank you for your hard work to make Pittsburgh the 10th safest city in the country ❤️

[1Hood @1hood]

They wanna bring up rumors, well here are the facts!

[Krystal Ball @krystalball]

The most consistent theme of conservatism is being completely unable/unwilling to understand how a thing is bad until it happens to you.

[Covie @covie_93]

Imagine losing your cattle farm because you didn't want six trans athletes to play sports.

Then Jesus said unto the sick, “you better have insurance.”

Then Jesus said unto the stranger, “are you here legally?”

Then Jesus said unto the hungry, “my taxes better not be paying for these loaves and fishes.”

Then Jesus said unto the poor, “this is your own fault.”

[The Don Dada 🤴🏾 @RickCode]

This Karmelo Anthony verdict being found guilty right after a Chinese man was found innocent after chasing a black kid down and killing him should tell you everything you need to know about what our priorities should be in these United States

[1Hood @1hood]

Poetic and Mason, 2 young people in our We Keep Us Safe cohort spoke directly to elected officials about the decision to have a curfew in downtown Pittsburgh at Market Square, this past Saturday at our Youth Forum. The Youth Forum was organized and curated entirely by youth

[The Root @TheRoot]

A Louisiana resident who identified himself as Marshawn delivered a fiery, emotional speech to lawmakers during a state Senate hearing over redistricting Monday, accusing Republicans of trying to “cheat” Black voters out of political power.

[Chris Towler @blkprofcct]

The fact that almost EVERY former confederate state is moving to completely eliminate Black representatives almost immediately after the SCOTUS decision should be more than enough proof that voting rights still need protection and racism is far from gone in this country.

[Jasiri X @jasiri_x]

One of my favorite pastimes

[Jay 🏂 @liljay8k]

I love when Black people say “there go your friend” and you look up and it’s somebody you hate 😂😂😂

[Ron Shillman @shillman1]

We’re 9 weeks into a 4 week war we won 8 weeks ago.

[JKP @juniorkingpp]

the fact the US used the full force of the federal government to eliminate the Black Panthers while the KKK is still running around tells you a lot about this country

[Masu Zafi 🔥🔥 @masuzafi]

🚨 CNN "experts" say Iran’s disdain for the US is because “they hate our way of life.” Ex-MSNBC host
@JoyAnnReid
wasn’t having it. She schooled the panel on the 1953 CIA-backed coup in Tehran: The one that overthrew democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh after he nationalized Iran’s oil. Installed the Shah’s brutal dictatorship. Sparked decades of resentment. Delivered the 1979 Revolution. That “disdain”? It’s called blowback. Not “they hate our freedom.” They remember what we did to their freedom. Media: stop the gaslighting. Start with history. 📷 💥

[Goonaruto Rizzumaki @GoonRizzumaki]

In the end he become what he hated the most…
A person of color.

[Acyn @Acyn]

LEE: Your agency told programs to remove 200 words from their funding applications including the word "Black." Do you have an idea how we can solve the black maternal health crisis if we cannot say "Black"? 

RFK JR: DEI divided and polarized people.

LEE: We’re talking about healthcare.

RFK JR: We’re talking about DEI. Do you think the federal government should be paying for DEI? 

LEE: I think the federal government has a vested interest in ensuring citizens survive childbirth. 

RFK JR: We are meeting that obligation. 

LEE: We are not

[philip lewis @Phil_Lewis_]

A new report shows that the financial pledges that major corporations made to Black nonprofits during the 2020 'racial reckoning' evaporated quickly — and for some, never materialized

Appreciate you brother

[Ural Garrett @UralG]

I'm at the crib watching @freespeechtv and love that I get to watch @jasiri_x 1Hood podcast.

Thinking like 20 years ago when I was an undergrad in college watching him spit raps about Palestine like a news anchor.
