I'll take this one.

A Black Barbershop is actually a church>
It is also a political headquarters
It is a secret hideout and gathering spot.

The Black barbershop is 1 of the most important, most revolutionary institutions in Black history.

A (relatively short) thread.

It’d be a shame if Biden saw the Supreme Court news, took it personally, and just cancelled all student debt…

[CJ G @cjgproduxions]

The money that y’all keep saying ooh Trump gave money to HBCUs was $255 million to HBCUs AND MINORITY Serving Institutions (Asians, Hispanics, Natives) .. $85 million went to HBCUs and there are 100 HBCUs so do that math… So it wasn’t Black specific .. and it was only earmarked for STEM.

And it was money they were already getting under Barack Obama and it lapsed under Trump

This is Tim Scott’s website so you can’t claim it’s left wing info

Wow. Everyone needs to read the new statement from the Biden campaign about Trump’s deranged and dangerous speech tonight.

Slavery was Legal.

Colonialism was Legal.

Jim Crow was Legal.

Apartheid was Legal.

Legality is a matter of Power, NOT Justice.

[State Rep. Angie Nixon @AngieNixon]

Dude. Can you please address the insurance and rental crisis? How about helping stop the mass exodus of educators? Your priorities are NOT in order.

[Gary Koepnick @garykoepnick]

You can file taxes online
You can pay taxes online
You can bank online
You can buy a house online

Why can’t we vote online?

And get rid of that obsolete electoral college in the process.

Dear UPS, USPS, FedEx, & Amazon employees..

Thank you.

How y’all doing living in a DeSantis Florida? Educator shortage, high insurance rates. Racism, antisemitism, Islamophobia and homophobia running rampant. College Professors leaving and turning jobs down in the state because there’s an attack on education. Rights being stripped.

FINAL: Trevor Lawrence and the @Jaguars get back on track. #TENvsJAX

[Senator Carlos Guillermo Smith @CarlosGSmith]

DeSantis appointees have proposed a rule implementing SB 266 in our state colleges and universities which bans any support or funding for student groups involved in "social issues" or engaging in "political or social activism".

It's censorship + exclusion like we've never seen.

This is insane.

Pfizer is planning to charge nearly $1,400 for its COVID antiviral treatment Paxlovid.

It only costs $13.38 to make.

That‘s a 10,389% markup!

The company has already profited $18 BILLION from the drug.

Shame @pfizer into changing course.

[Adémọ́lá. @OgbeniDemola]

Slavery was legal, apartheid was legal, even colonization was legal. Because something is legal does not mean it’s right. Legality is not a matter of morals, it’s a matter of power.

36 years ago today, Thomas Sankara, a revolutionary African leader, was assassinated by French imperialists.

Sankara drove out French imperialism from Burkina Faso and withdrew from IMF and made the country non-reliant on foreign aid.

He was assassinated in a coup led by his close ally, Blaise Compaoré supported by French imperialists

As far as African leadership goes, Thomas Sankara was cut from a different piece of cloth.

Here are some of his accomplishments, ONLY 4 YEARS in power (1983-87):

– He vaccinated 2.5 million children against meningitis, yellow fever and measles in a matter of weeks.
– He initiated a nation-wide literacy campaign, increasing the literacy rate from 13% in 1983 to 73% in 1987.
– He planted over 10 million trees to prevent desertification
– He built roads and a railway to tie the nation together, without foreign aid
– He appointed females to high governmental positions, encouraged them to work, recruited them into the military, and granted pregnancy leave during education.
– He outlawed female genital mutilation, forced marriages and polygamy in support of Women’s rights
– He sold off the government fleet of Mercedes cars and made the Renault 5 (the cheapest car sold in Burkina Faso at that time) the official service car of the ministers.
– He reduced the salaries of all public servants, including his own, and forbade the use of government chauffeurs and 1st class airline tickets.
– He redistributed land from the feudal landlords and gave it directly to the peasants. Wheat production rose in three years from 1700 kg per hectare to 3800 kg per hectare, making the country food self-sufficient.
– He opposed foreign aid, saying that “he who feeds you, controls you.”
– He spoke in forums like the Organization of African Unity against continued neo-colonialist penetration of Africa through Western trade and finance. • He called for a united front of African nations to repudiate their foreign debt. He argued that the poor and exploited did not have an obligation to repay money to the rich and exploiting
– In Ouagadougou, Sankara converted the army’s provisioning store into a state-owned supermarket open to everyone (the first supermarket in the country).
– He forced civil servants to pay one month’s salary to public projects.
– He refused to use the air conditioning in his office on the grounds that such luxury was not available to anyone but a handful of Burkinabes.
– As President, he lowered his salary to $450 a month and limited his possessions to a car, four bikes, three guitars, a fridge and a broken freezer.
– A motorcyclist himself, he formed an all-women motorcycle personal guard.
– He required public servants to wear a traditional tunic, woven from Burkinabe cotton and sewn by Burkinabe craftsmen. (The reason being to rely upon local industry and identity rather than foreign industry and identity)
– When asked why he didn’t want his portrait hung in public places, as was the norm for other African leaders, Sankara replied “There are seven million Thomas Sankaras.”
– An accomplished guitarist, he wrote the new national anthem himself

Never Forget. They don’t want students to know about this in Florida though. It’s makes them “uncomfortable.”

[State Rep. Angie Nixon @AngieNixon]

This. Is @RonDeSantis’ Florida. Imagine what our country would look like if he became President of the United States.

I’m calling on all elected officials in the state of Florida to denounce these hateful actions and this rhetoric.

[State Rep. Angie Nixon @AngieNixon]

When you say things like “Black People benefited from slavery,” that causes folks to devalue Black Lives. When you eliminate Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Programs, that allows racism and bigotry to proliferate and go uncheck.

I literally work for y’all. No matter what zip code, how much money you make, what race you are…ALL FLORIDIANS deserve to live healthy, prosperous and safe!
