Please Black people, stop trying to save institutions that discard us. Stop supporting media that refuses to humanize us. Stop defending corporations that rely on our exploitation. Stop trying to save a country that, if unable to enslave or use us, is happy to k*ll us. Stop!

For forever, teachers in the U.S. taught school children that George Washington had a mouth full of wooden dentures. In fact they were a mix of wine-stained hippopotamus ivory, human teeth—from Africans enslaved on his Mount Vernon Plantation—brass screws, and gold wire.

“Around 30,000 African-Americans served in the war (on both sides), but research has revealed that, largely due to shocking racially discriminatory practices, their death rate was roughly four times greater than that of white troops.”

One thing poverty stole from a lot of people is the ability to make mistakes.

Every decision has to work.

“Take Five” by Dave Brubeck Quartet was recorded 67 years ago today.

Two years later it became a surprise hit and the biggest-selling jazz single ever.

Kamala Harris could’ve condemned Israel for committing genocide and promised to end it if she won, but she didn’t do these things because she would’ve had to address her own complicity in facilitating it. It’s too late now; the damage has already been done.

@hollyotterbein @CaliMummie @AlexThomp The same people she didn’t want on stage at the DNC she is reaching out to privately. Who cares?

Just what kind of people are running the United States?

Darializa Avila Chevalier responds to Hakeem Jeffries downplaying the NYC elections as being in "higher income" districts with an "outsized focus on issues connected to the Middle East."

And she & Claire Valdez both say they are *not* committing to supporting Jeffries as leader:

It took years of organizing for the NYC rent guidelines board to freeze the rent for 2 years.

Now they've made this historic, first-time decision.

Zohran's number one campaign promise has been fulfilled, and two million renters are breathing easier.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani said the city is implementing several new "first-of-their-kind" measures in order to beat the heat.

Thousands of LinkNYC kiosks across the five boroughs will display routes to the nearest cooling center, which Mamdani says shouldn't be more than a 10-minute walk.

There will also be "cool vans" stationed around the city to provide hydration and electrolytes, meals (including vegetarian, kosher and halal options), plus transport to the nearest cooling center.

“Looking at children’s teeth, in every circumstance, they all had blackened teeth at the roots that were decaying. It was not because of poor dental care. It was because of the lack of essential nutrients that children should have, like calcium.”

We deserve better than the Democratic Party, western “democracy” and Capitalism. The only system that works can’t be the system that made you a slave and your people paupers.

This is no “great” or “admirable” person that owned slaves.

The black community has a responsibility to itself to be more politically educated than liberalism allows.
