"Sinners" opened to more positive reviews and a bigger weekend box office than 9 of the last 10 Oscar winners for Best Picture. Yet, mainstream media is questioning whether Ryan Coogler's magnum opus is actually a success.

1. According to a book that every child in every school
in America is required to use, the DICTIONARY defines “stolen” as:

- Property taken or appropriated

- Taken away by force, unjust means, or without permission

2. In 1860, the value of enslaved enslaved people (not their labor or what they contributed—just their actual value) was worth MORE than the combined value of all the railroads, all manufacturing and all money in all the banks in America.

That America was “Built on the backs of slaves on stolen land” is a fact; not an opinion.

Fuck a dog whistle. They’re literally SCREAMING the quiet part

Donald Trump wants to outlaw facts

Forced birth in a country with:

—No universal healthcare
—No universal childcare
—No paid family & medical leave
—One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations

That's why I read all 922 pages of #Project2025 as well as #Agenda47

A white friend helped Trump get into college. White bankers gave him billions in loans he didn't qualify for. He had the lowest % of primary votes for a GOP nominee in 50 years. Besides white voters, he lost every racial, ethnic & religious demographic in EVERY race he ever entered. He has NEVER won the popular vote in an election.

Just so we're clear:

We already had the first DEI president.

I'll take this one.

The idea that affirmative action or diversity, equity & inclusion policies equal lower standards is something that a lot of people believe.

Instead of citing what "I believe" like Elon did, let's use facts & a something I like to called "math"

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

Much of the opposition to DEI is based on the premise that a Black person with any measure of power or authority will automatically treat white people like white people with power have historically treated Black people.

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

I know I tweet about history a lot, but for Black History Month, let's talk about math (OK, there'll be a little bit of history involved)

Once upon a time, a dynasty ruled an empire.

For generations, the emperor’s leadership went unchallenged because everyone knew the emperor was the wisest strongest warrior in the empire.

How did they know?
