No low is too low for MAGA… now explain to me why an institution would be receiving threats because of the commencement speech that I GAVE.

This type of behavior is why I’m constantly having to be protected & I understand that truth telling in this country; sadly, is a dangerous business, but college students don’t deserve this.

As a side note: you consistently prove me right & just as this was the only campus that MLK could speak at in Mississippi in the 1960s… it’s 2025, and this country is still stuck on hate… I’m proud to say Tougaloo is tough & so am I.

@stanchrisss Someone will always have something to say about your relationship. It doesn’t matter who you date, someone will think they can control it. I’m really sorry it’s getting to you. They just jealous you had a man and they didnt anyway

@SketchesbyBoze Is it ok to have two? Maybe even three by nearly 50?

“Humanities degrees are useless” is propaganda that’s had the effect of convincing a whole generation that reading and critical thinking skills were unimportant. Now we’re reaping the results with mass illiteracy and a public eager to embrace conspiracy theories and fascism.

So the Republican Party has historically blocked:

-Paid sick leave
-Paid family & medical leave
-Universal childcare
-Universal pre-K
-Expanded Child Tax Credit
-Programs to support reproductive health

And they're wondering why more people aren't having children?

Carl Sagan said when he was at university in the 1950s, “it was considered unthinkable for an aspiring physicist not to know Plato, Aristotle, Bach, Shakespeare,” and so many of our problems with today’s tech leaders are downstream of their lack of engagement with the humanities.

@LqLana I saw the Hilter Encourage German Women to have babies program from 1938….it’s too similar for my comfort
