I'm a published author whose true passion is literary composition, who saw the need for me to utilize my passion & talent to fight injustice/anti-black racism.
🖋️📙On this platform, I combine journalism, social commentary, and literary enthusiasm because I, wholeheartedly, believe they're intertwined. "The pen is mightier than the sword" for a reason, and this space strives to use these elements to defeat injustice.

YT Media outlets like @washingtonpost & @nytimes label certain pieces, mainly the ones dealing with anti-black racism, "Opinion" pieces, even when they're based on historically & factually accurate info. This subtly suggests readers shouldn't take what's being read seriously.
For once, TNYT actually had a decent piece w/ some historically accurate info. about how YT supremacists whitewashed the fact the "Civil" War was exclusively about slavery.
A shame it's behind a paywall. They do so to appear fair but to cover their asses. "Opinion" piece my ass.
Today's MoT
Headlines are saying that "most Black Texans" support James Talarico. But is that true, or is that white media spin?
And what is Talarico offering that's getting "most black Texans" to support him? Because so far I haven't seen anything.

The crazy part is, even a lot of you diehard MAGA-wingers affect who were demanding the Epstein files have already, predictably, forgotten your outrage. You're too busy worrying about how Hormuz is gonna affect your bottom line.
Welcome to Weapons of Mass Distraction #101.
👍🏾FBA's feelings don't really get hurt when WS use the n-word like that anymore, not unless they're some off-code negro with little emotional discipline. The reason why? We now recognize that word for what it is--a threat. We're now just skipping str8 to neutralizing the threat.
In #2026, ain't dam thang changed.
"The lesson this teaches and which every Afro-American should ponder well, is that a Winchester rifle should have a place of honor in every black home, and it should be used for that protection which the law refuses to give." ~Ida B. Wells~
Let the record show: On May 4, 1884, a train conductor tried to remove Ida B. Wells from a train even though she had a first-class ticket.
Ida B. Well bit the dog shit out of this white supremacist's hand, to the point it took 3 men to remove her.
Be more like Ida.💯👏🏾🖤🔥🫡✊🏾
There's a strong case to be made that Ida B. Wells was the mother of investigative journalism, but there's 0 doubt she's the queen of all #journalism. On her hallowed #birthday, today's edition of Poethnic Justice Podcast examines her majestic credentials.

Andrew "Big Bussy" Gillum is back in trouble with the law. This time for drug possession in Alabama. Of course I wouldn't want to give the redneck "authorities" down there ANY credence, but I have to wonder how Big Bussy and drugs keep showing up in the same place...allegedly!
The entire planet is going through a heatwave, currently, and The People still aren't asking which culprits are benefiting from the world being flame-broiled into ash.
I can give one clue; it's definitely not black folks benefiting.
There's no black version of @bp_America. #JS
Birthright Citizenship isn't used the way it is because the "USA loves immigrants." That's a lie. It's used the way it is to create buffer classes that can be weaponized to undermine Foundational Black Americans sociopolitically over generations. That's why it was upheld today.
The 14th Amendment was implemented because of a Black grassroots movement (led by ppl like Fredrick Douglas, William Nesbit, Henry Highland Garnet,etc). Now today when Foundational Black Americans try to get specific reparative justice, it’s the Descendants of Anchor Babies who are the first to oppose it
