The power of economics. We should at least consume in places that in turn help our own seeds grow. https://t.co/6E55Mi9vQe

Consuming is a weakness. It is the producer of what is consumed who has the power. Capital makes this world turn.

My wife and I got into it last night about the grocery bill.

I pulled up an old Target order from February 2020.

28 items. $64.50.

Added every single one back to the cart just to see.

$158.30.
Same 28 items. Same store. Same cart.
$93.80 more.

In five years.
We didn’t buy more.
Didn’t upgrade anything.
Didn’t add a single extra item.

Just needed the same things we always needed.

They told us inflation was transitory. They told us it was under control. They told us the economy was strong.

Our cart didn’t get any of those memos.
145% increase in five years.

Not one member of Congress has looked at a grocery receipt in decades.

And it shows.

@Seraphinaf5 100 people came with him, so that’s 101. 40 left so down to 61. 10 came back in so that’s 71.

71.

When Arthur Ashe, Jackie Robinson, Bill Russell, Johnny Sample and Harry Edwards pull back the curtain on what fans never see unequal contracts, token progress, corporate power, and the pressure placed on Black athletes to stay silent.

@Clock_Hypocrisy @DailyLoud I’ve stood on principle many of times on social rights and would prefer to not risk death or severely bodily harm on myself so I can continue standing on principle in the future as well as continue the fight.

But that’s just me 🤷🏾‍♂️

A 7-year-old girl wrote to President Obama after losing her mother to cancer, and he wrote back.

17 years later, her letter lives on at the Obama Presidential Center. She became a registered nurse and thanked him for reminding her to dream big.

A New Orleans man known as Mr. Seven is going viral for teaching neighborhood kids hands-on automotive skills and valuable life lessons…all out of his own pocket for years! 🙌

Through his NOLA Service Circle program, he’s creating a safe space where young people learn practical skills like vehicle maintenance, basic repairs, jump-starting cars, teamwork, and discipline. Mr. Seven has poured in countless hours, energy, and personal resources because he believes in investing in our youth and building a stronger community.

I wouldn’t be where I am today without the love and support that @MichelleObama has poured into me over the years. Her story �� from her South Side roots to the White House and beyond — is a central part of the Obama Presidential Center.

Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.

The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.
