.@Target raised its minimum wage for all employees to $24/hr & all who work as little as 24hrs/wk gets health insurance. Target will prove: 1. The labor problem isn't people are lazy, it's that they aren't paid enough. 2. More ppl will shop at a store that treats employees right.

[abolish the police. @ale4iowa]

Most cities increased their police budget in 2021-2022.

As a result, 2022 was the year with the most killings by police in any year in the past decade.

Every elected official who isn't calling for defunding the police is complicit in these murders.

[Clarissa Brooks @ClarissaMBrooks]

In 1999, two bombs were set off at FAMU. Last week 13+ HBCUs across the country received bomb threats that remind us that racialized violence is alive and well. Read my latest at @TeenVogue here!

When accounting for the proportion of low- and moderate-income students that colleges enroll and the outcomes those schools produce, HBCUs also score much higher on the Economic Mobility Index than traditional rankings typically reflect. 5/7

I wish that I could say that I'm not guilty of the #JobPosting problems that @KatrinaKibben talks about. But I'm glad to learn from a pro. #HR https://t.co/G6XIjkdu9R

And this is also why we need to give stylists like Law Roach and Kolin Carter their flowers for using their eye for fashion to help elevate their clients. You really do have to come hard to be recognised on all sides as a black woman.

“Sometimes, I feel discriminated against, but it does not make me angry. It merely astonishes me. How can any deny themselves the pleasure of my company? It's beyond me.”

[Booker G. Washington @BookerGWash]

There appears to have been a coordinated threat made against 5-7 HBCUs this evening yet the media is basically silent. Meanwhile, HBCU students and employees are terrified.

Nobody takes Black fear urgently nor seriously.

Hoyeon Jung, Squid Game star, reveals in a recent interview to Vogue Korea that lately she’s been obsessed with "Suffolk County” by Cousin Stizz.

“It really got my hustle up. I’ve been riding around listening nonstop. No Bells, Fresh Prince, Bonds… literally no misses."
