#OnThisDay in 1970, Dana Elaine Owens — known professionally as Queen Latifah — was born in Newark, New Jersey. She broke barriers and set standards as a rapper, a singer, and an actress. #WomensHistoryMonth#NMAAHCHipHop
The Texas A&M Board of Regents’ claim that they are simply following the will of taxpayers to censor topics on race overlooks a fundamental reality: I am a Black man and a taxpayer, and I do not support the use of my public funds against me, my interests, or my values.
Taxpayers are not a monolith, and invoking them as a unified justification erases the diversity of views that actually exists. Public institutions should not be guided by a narrow interpretation of taxpayer will—especially when doing so risks compromising core principles such as academic freedom, open inquiry, and democracy.
@bensoph_hc ugh you are so right! In the second scene you see Violet and Benedict physically react to Araminta but Sophie again doesn't move or flinch. Heartbreaking 💔
@capitalweather@NWS_BaltWash Do you think Baltimore will get significant sno Just saw we were put under a winter storm watch for potential of 5+ inches per NWS.
@ksdotlewis At this point just lie to the next doctor telling them it happens several times a month. Use phrases like interrupts your ability to work and care for yourself. You can even ask AI to give you phrases most likely to get doctors to help you. It sucks but it may work.
@Princess_Fajita@kemimarie A super plus tampon holds up to 15 mL or one tablespoon. Now multiply that by how often you change them and yeah it's WAY more!!
Black people in America are not "making everything about race." We live in a nation that is erasing evidence of our history, celebrating a man who demeaned and maligned us, polluting our neighborhoods with toxins, ending lifesaving services to our communities, and suppressing our votes.
The United States of America has been consistently culpable in "making everything about race."
It's beyond time to end anti-Black racism.
Join in doing that.
We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven. The degree to which those comments can undermine public health, do harm to women who are pregnant, create anxiety for parents who do have children who are autistic – is violence against the truth.
