THIS is why a distinction must be made between “discovery” & “origination”. SA has one of the BEST medical research ecosystems in the world, so they discovered it 1st. But the way neocolonial language is set up, y’all rather assign blame to African countries than to give praise.

@JenniferRoseNYC I'm so mad I missed this 😂

We're still collecting signatures from non-member allies for our petition.

Will you tell the studios to provide film and tv crews with basic human necessities like reasonable rest, meal breaks, sustainable benefits, and livable wages? #IASolidarity https://t.co/jL9hm184dv

Okay but Jennifer-Rose has been an actual BLESSING to my hair! 😍

When they say our hair is “distracting”, what they mean is they don’t want people looking at us. They prefer us invisible. When they say we’re “loud”, they don’t want people listening to us. If God didn’t want us seen, he wouldn’t have made our hair and voices so big.

So one clever scholar ran the 1776 Report through the popular plagiarism-detection software Turnitin. And, well, thread:

Everyone’s laughing at the 1776 Report until you realize they were teaching kids this version of history the whole time…

For MLK Day, here a passage from his book “Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?”

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

As we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., you'll see a lot of out-of-context quotes from people who have fought against what King stood for.

I think one of the most important parts of MLK's legacy is that it contextualizes how this country reacts to Black protest:
