@TheJayneway @Inspirenaire I suffered through 20+ yrs of UC flare ups before finally having my colon and rectum removed due to increased risk of cancer. Meds weren’t keeping me in remission. I had a bag for 6 mths before transitioning to my J pouch.

@Inspirenaire I was diagnosed with UC at the age of 22 after the birth of my son. I was afraid to seek medical attention, but the symptoms worsened. Meds didn’t stop my flare ups so I ultimately had to have my colon and rectum removed. Had an ostomy for 6 mths. I’m now living with a J pouch.

Do you agree with Matt McConaughey?

When a president of the United States calls a black woman journalist a bitch, silence is not an option.

Shame on her cowardly coworkers.

[Zakiah @Zmystique]

Today’s Supreme Court ruling guts the Voting Rights Act and turns back the clock on the foundational promise of equality and fairness in our election systems.

Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act was one of the last remaining federal protections for Black and brown voters against maps deliberately drawn to dilute their political power. That protection has been stripped away.

It is an outrage. But it is not a surprise.

It is part of an agenda that conservatives set in place decades ago to steal power from everyday people and then cling to that power for generations.

The court’s decision is motivated by politics and designed to give an upper hand to Donald Trump’s Republican Party, which faces the threat of losing the upcoming midterm elections.

We must pay attention to what happens next.

The fight now returns to the states. Legislatures — particularly those in the South — will rush to redraw districts before voting for the midterms begins in just a few months. Already, Louisiana and Florida are planning to redraw their maps, and we should not be surprised if others rapidly follow suit ahead of the midterms and 2028. Their politically-motivated power grab is meant to protect elected Republicans from any consequences for their failure to make groceries, gas, health care, or housing more affordable for you and your family. They want to cheat and choose their voters, instead of the voters deciding who they choose.

The mission before us is to restore the power of the people. There is no question our fight became harder today, but I know we are up for the battle.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.

The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

Mayor Mamdani is going directly to residents private homes to ensure the landlords properties are safe and up to code for the tenants.

Mamdani is running laps around every politician in the country at any and all levels of government.

THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD BE!

Victor Glover is the embodiment of modern exploration: U.S. Navy Captain, test pilot, and NASA astronaut who piloted SpaceX Crew-1, the first operational Crew Dragon mission, helping restore human spaceflight from U.S. soil. He spent 168 days aboard the International Space Station, conducted multiple spacewalks. Coming back to earth today as the pilot for Artemis II, he’s is a true Hero of the Planet. 🚀

[New Direction AFRICA @Its_ereko]

🇺🇸 BREAKING: NYC Mayor Mamdani just said what America refuses to admit.

"The wealth of a median white household in the city is more than $200,000, while that of a black household is less than $20,000."

Ten times the wealth. Same city. Same century. Same flag.

That's not a gap. That's a design.

Spread this. America needs to stop pretending.

[Maryam @hell_line0]

Let us remember, men only reached the moon because of the tireless work of a segregated black woman who performed math none of them could.

She was also born in WV and attended West Virginia University, where a scholarship program exists for other black students in STEM named after her.

Katherine Johnson did this in a time when just getting an education as a black woman was far more difficult then it ever needed to be.

May you look at every NASA rocket and think of her. She earned it.

[Red Media @RedMedia_us]

A new song has been made for TLC's Chilli after she came out as MAGA 😭

[Jasmine Crockett @JasmineForUS]

The meltdown over Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is truly something EVERYONE needs to pay attention to. You see, as the first & only black woman to ever serve on the court, she had to be 10 times better than most… She continues to flex her brilliance in oral arguments & many dissents.

Please note that by the time a black woman ascends to a powerful position, she Definitely Earned It… if you have any questions… let’s talk about Senator, now Secretary Mullin… or please pull the resumes of some of the other justices before entering this chat… actually just don’t, it’s not a debate, these are FACTS (alternative facts = LIES).

[Taurus Groove @jiggyjayy2]

What do you mean you donated to Trump and black women are your core audience and the reason you have a career and he gutted 300,000 black women from the federal government??? HUH
