Bought these avocados maybe 20 days ago....I let them ripen and then put them in a bowl of water and set them in the fridge. Supposedly, when you place them in water, this stops the ripping process. The cut avocado is 20 days old.
Nkrumah called them the comprador bourgeoisie.
A class whose wealth is tied to facilitating the movement of African resources outward to foreign corporations, foreign markets, foreign banks.
So this class has always had a material interest in keeping Africa fragmented.
Apple is a $4.35 trillion corporation. It made $112 billion in profits last year & paid its CEO, who's already worth $2.9 billion, $74 million in compensation. In the past 3 years, it's spending $310 billion on stock buybacks.
Don't cite inflation. Cite the damn corporate greed.

Caribbean nations such as Cuba, Haiti, and Guyana have historically served as places of refuge for Black Americans escaping racism and political persecution. Pan-Africanists in Guyana had even set up a village for Black Americans. There is also a lengthy history of Black people in the Caribbean protesting against the poor treatment of Black Americans. Artists such as Black Stalin and Mighty Gabby have expressed this in song. Eusi Kwayana was detained by the British colonial government for exposing America's racism against Black Americans.
Of course, this is history that isn't well-known in America because of the disconnect in the Diaspora. We don't know each other's histories like we should. If we did, we'd understand how interconnected our struggles have always been.
yall don’t think it’s WEIRD , that CPS will potentially take your kids if you’re struggling (unable to feed them , clothe them , pay for necessary medicines , etc.) 🤔 and then once your kids are taken , they put them in a home with another family , and then give THEM money every month to take care of your kids ??
is that not a fucked up system ?!
Bank of America studied the debit and credit transactions of millions of Americans.
The pullback on spending outside of necessities is unlike anything they have ever seen.
Domino's said consumers do not even want their $7 carry out pizza.
$7. A whole pizza.
One of the cheapest food options available.
People cannot justify $7 for a pizza.
And the administration is saying the economy is fine.
Believe Domino's.
I am begging the internet to stop showing me "5-to-9 morning routines" where someone drinks structured water, journals for an hour, and ice plunges before sunrise.
My morning routine is hitting snooze until the fear of homelessness physically drags me out of bed. That’s it. That’s the routine.
