After 2.5 years of fighting, testing, poking, prodding, praying, and trusting God, I'm blessed to announce that final approval for surgery has been given. On Nov. 26th, 2024, @princessdevy03 will be graciously giving me her kidney so I have a new lease on life! #KidneyTransplant
No state authorizes the death penalty for theft. Yet, police routinely kill Black people they suspect of stealing something. No trial. No jury. No due process. Just state sanctioned violence
Big Tech will absolutely destroy our drinkable water supply to advance their AI products and increase their profits.
Just like the health insurance industry lets people die to increase their profits.
Just like Big Oil destroys the planet to increase their profits.
Just like military contractors donate millions to politicians to start wars to increase their profits.
Just like polluters poison our air to increase their profits.
Just like food manufacturers add poisons to our food to increase their profits.
Billionaire and trillionaire greed is killing us.
If you had told me 10 years ago that a billionaire would accuse humans of drinking too much water in 2026 because data centres need it to power the AI tech that is now threatening our entire way of life, I would have told you to write a better Bond villain, because wtf?
Yesterday the Hardrock casino in Fort Lauderdale Florida draped itself in the Juneteenth flag. For those who aren’t aware the hardrock is owned by Seminole Indians.
On Juneteenth, we honor the generations of Black New Yorkers whose struggle and determination brought us closer to justice.
At Foley Square, Lorenzo Pace's sculpture stands as a powerful tribute to that legacy. Our documentary explores Dr. Pace's life, his work, and his decades-long commitment to the ongoing fight for liberation.
This Juneteenth, let us not forget that pursuit of freedom is not buried in the past. It is the responsibility of our future.
On June 19, 1865, African American communities in Galveston, Texas, finally learned of their freedom from slavery — two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation took effect.
For 161 years, Juneteenth has been a day of remembrance for the freedom that was delayed. It is also a celebration of the joy and resilience that flourished despite that delay.
The contributions of African Americans, whose struggle for freedom shaped our nation, are immeasurable. Yet too many Black families continue to bear the brunt of an affordability crisis that has pushed them out of the neighborhoods and communities they've built.
True freedom has a tangible impact on daily life: the ability to afford housing, earn a living wage, put food on the table, support a family, and create a future for generations to come.
As we celebrate today, we must recommit ourselves to ensuring this freedom is fully realized.
Happy Juneteenth, New York City.
White Privilege is being a former Escort that can barely speak English properly and people honor you at the White House meanwhile a successful accomplished Black Women gets disrespected 10 years removed from office.
