Maternal death rates are falling for every group – except Black women. Why? The answer isn’t solely healthcare. My take at the link. Please share!

The Mississippi cop killed a baby because the management at Walmmart claimed A BABY was shoplifting a pack of diapers (bis mother had a receipt), and now they police have unleashed tear gas on community members protesting the execution of a baby.

This is America.

Words have consequences- especially when you have a powerful bully pulpit…

After the world is done raving about 🇨🇩 DR. Congo’s grand arrival and fashion look for the World Cup, please also take the time to educate yourselves about our issues and amplify our voices. DR. Congo is currently undergoing a genocide and one of its worst Ebola outbreaks.

Never do anything for the government. Ever.

Haiti had the first successful slave revolt and the Whites have never forgiven them for it

The Atlantic slave trade is not singled out because other slavery didn't exist.

It is singled out because it built the world we currently live in.

The financial institutions.
The insurance markets.
The shipping routes.
The racial categories.
The colonial borders.
The wealth distribution between continents that still defines the global economy today.

The Atlantic slave trade is not studied with particular intensity because historians are biased.

It is studied with particular intensity because its consequences are not historical.

They are present.

You don't single it out to assign ancient blame.

You examine it to understand current reality.

The reason your argument wants to dissolve that specificity into universal human wickedness is precisely because universal human wickedness requires nothing from anyone today.

Specific, traceable, present consequences do.

We are legalizing the murder of women and girls in America.

This is what people mean when they say that poverty is systemic and a class issue, and not because of personal choices.

Once they lost Woodland on Flatbush to “noise complaints” aka gentrification, so went Sugarcane, Bleachers, Soco, Milkriver, Basquiat’s Bottle, Imani’s (reopened as Mango Bay), Negril Brooklyn, Ode to Babel, Bed-Vyne Brew, Tilly’s, Amarachi, Bunton’s World Famous, & so many more.

Them: "Black people still have the right to vote"

Me: "Black men had the right to vote since reconstruction and Black women since the 1920's and a VRA was STILL needed in the 1960's!"

This is probably the most common and pervasive way in which little girls are taught to prioritise men and placate them at all costs and little boys are taught that life should revolve around them as adults.

the fact the US used the full force of the federal government to eliminate the Black Panthers while the KKK is still running around tells you a lot about this country

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

The same people who say the Pope should stay out of politics want to force prayer and the Ten Commandments in public schools

the stats here are why the airlines have lobbied against this both in canada and america for ages

not enough! the public library is a precious resource that will disappear if people don’t use it!

The US economy is built on slavery.

Just a reminder: TSA isn’t being funded because Republicans want to privatize it. It’s all in Project 2025.

“Feminism pushed women into the workforce.”

Black women have ALWAYS worked. The luxury they want you to believe women like them were afforded came on the backs of Black women. Even after slavery BW were FORCED to work, even if they could afford to be home (soldiers wives, etc.)

Running from an active shooter only to be killed by an active shooter in uniform. I hate it here so much.
