If you had told me 10 years ago that a billionaire would accuse humans of drinking too much water in 2026 because data centres need it to power the AI tech that is now threatening our entire way of life, I would have told you to write a better Bond villain, because wtf?
The only reason it took so long for this is because everyone kept treating it as the "you-cannot-have-kids-disease", instead of acknowledging that the condition was wrecking havoc in the entire body, and infertility was just a symptom
They say all Black people need for our community to rise is “a seat at the table.” Well, Cory Booker is sitting at that table with pedophiles and genociders, and now what?
Louisiana, a majority female state & the state that incarcerates the most women per capita in the WORLD & whose homeless rates have soared almost 70% in recent year, has decided to just enslave women in the prison system to deal with this.
Dr Walter Rodney was assassinated on June 13, 1980, by a bomb planted in a walkie talkie. He was 38.
His key work, How Europe Underdeveloped Africa, exposed the roots of global inequality and the violence of colonial underdevelopment.
My favorite part about all of this is people finding out that we really do own the same businesses the Asians do. The myth that we don’t serve our own communities has to die along with the rest of the Asian businesses that only exist to extract money from us.
Black Americans let’s do ourselves a favor and mute non Black accounts looking to engagement farm with us today and everyday. We are doing a community reset and have a lot of work to do.
So I googled Black owned beauty supply stores near me.
I found out that these Asian owners are listing their stores as Black owned.
Out of six stores that popped up two were verifiably Black owned.
I’m finna grab some dirt….
I just saw a clip from @Joyannreid show about the south that vexed my spirit. I wish you all would consult with Southern Black folks before getting on your very large platforms to essentially say we deserve to be left for dead. It’s like yall don’t even consider that majority of the Black folks in this country live here. Painting racism as a southern problem is crazy when the men who set all this bs in motion are not from the south. The face of the movement is from New York City. The false sense of safety folks feel in blue states is exactly why we have to keep fighting for our basic human rights every 40 years.
Black gay bars are closing while everybody profits off Black queer culture. Ballroom gets copied, our slang gets recycled, our aesthetics get monetized, & suddenly non-Black people are the face of “Black gay” events.
How do u consume the culture but erase the people who built it?
There is nothing stopping modern day lynchings when they're ruled suicides by modern day slave catchers.
There's a whole system in place that protects lynchings.
Republicans in North Carolina just proposed a bill that says if a woman is caught with an IUD or attempts to get an abortion then men are allowed to use DEADLY FORCE to try and stop her. They are proposing a bill that will allow men to kill women for using birth control. It’s House Bill 1232. Keith Kidwell is the Republican who proposed the bill. He claims it counts as self defense to use deadly force to stop abortion. This is a man who claims to be pro life. Feel free to give his office a call and let him know how you feel about his opinion.
And for anyone who says “obviously this will never get passed” that’s not the point. The point is it’s fucking insanity that a government official would even try to make a law like this. It’s insanity that there are men out there who are trying to make it legal to kill women for making decisions for their own bodies. This is real and it’s happening right now in front of our eyes.
