Nina Simone used her music as a powerful voice for truth, dignity, and justice. Through her artistry, she expressed the pain, pride, and determination of a generation demanding change.
During Women’s History Month, we honor her courage, her brilliance, and the enduring power of her voice.

I’m crying at white people being upset because they’re just now realizing that we have to code switch in order to basically survive in certain situations. She’s aight, we get it
@SimuLiu I gave it a solid 9. Comedic action right next to high octane moments. It was a good combination, and the energy between the two leads just pulled you into the adventure.
Elated to see our brothers stepping up and speaking out - combating the bs being thrown at POTUS Biden and MVP Harris!
"Our presidential candidate is President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. Our vice-presidential candidate is Kamala Harris." Sign on.
Denver: “Is it more coordinated than people think, when ur talking about…all the groups associated w/ Christian Nationalism?”
Me: “ABSOLUTELY. There’s an umbrella organization for all of these Christian Right nonprofits …It’s called the Council for National Policy (CNP)…” 1/
The way MAGA Republicans have no policy proposals… other than working against ANYTHING that would move this country forward 🥴

It is actually insane that the person most responsible for arming and funding Israel’s destruction of Gaza, who vetoed ceasefires, undermined the Palestinian death toll, lied about seeing beheaded babies and denies genocide would say this.
BREAKING: Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott hits back hard after racist Republicans absurdly blame him for the ship collision that collapsed the Francis Scott Key Bridge, calling him "DEI mayor" because he's Black.
This is the PERFECT response...
"I know, and we know, and you know very well that Black men, and young Black men in particular, have been the bogeyman for those who are racist and think that only straight, wealthy White men should have a say in anything," said Mayor Scott during an appearance on MSNBC.
It's worth noting that it wasn't just rank and file Republicans who launched racist smears at Scott. Utah State Representative Phil Lyman as well as congressional candidate Anthony Sabatini joined in.
DEI, which stands for "Diversity, equity, and inclusion," has quickly become an obsession in right-wing circles, as they attempt to blame every problem on diversity. They use the term in place of a racial slur to articulate their bigotry without fully committing to it.
"We’ve been the bogeyman for them since the first day they brought us to this country, and what they mean by DEI in my opinion is duly elected incumbent," Mayor Scott said.
"We know what they want to say, but they don’t have the courage to say the N-word, and the fact that I don’t believe in their untruthful and wrong ideology,” he went on.
"And I am very proud of my heritage and who I am and where I come from scares them, because me being at my position means that their way of thinking, their way of life of being comfortable while everyone else suffers is going to be at risk, and they should be afraid because that’s my purpose in life," he added.
He stated that "everybody is working together" on the rebuild efforts.
"We’re ignoring all the conspiracy theorists, everyone who’s playing bridge engineer at home who’s never even taken a class on engineering and understanding that what this is about is showing the world once and again that Baltimore can’t be broken, our spirit is strong, and we will rebuild together and honor those who we lost," he said.
Well said!

Any coup that isn't punished is a training exercise. @TheRickWilson on @MSNBC says more on why everyone involved in the Jan 6 insurrection deserves to face the full consequence of the law.
