If you want to understand how whiteness works, you should enroll in a course on Wypipology...

Or you can just watch the Jan. 6 hearings.

After competing in Russia, one of America’s top professional athletes was getting on a flight to come home.

That’s when the Russian government kidnapped her. She’s been in a Russian jail for weeks. Her name is Brittney Griner and this is still a fucking outrage.

My sons grew up not being allowed to jog in the evening/at night. So many of y’all just can’t wrap your heads around the levels of vigilance and fear Black folks navigate.

Fuck this headline

I feel this more and more as we get closer to the start of the school year.

[Jason Reynolds News @JasonReynolds83]

People are conflating Critical Race Theory with History. Y’all really protesting the teaching of HISTORY in schools. And just because that history makes some uncomfortable, that doesn’t make it any less true.

The white supremacist insurrection on January 6th was not a sign that this country needs more unity, it was a sign that our country has yet to dismantle white supremacy. Don’t get it twisted.

And you thought "Taking A Knee" was too much!?!

@petersagal My brother lost his 13 month battle with GBM on May 13th. He was able to hear us tell him how much we love him before he passed & I spend every single day telling friends & fam how much I love them now.

Text messages obtained by FBI investigators show that officers accused of beating an undercover cop who had embedded with protesters that night counted on anonymity as they gleefully discussed plans to clobber protesters. https://t.co/2T9lU5dQXD

Tanya McDowell serving 12 years for sending her child to school in a better district and Felicity Huffman getting 14 days for scamming a university is proof the justice system works for the people it's designed to work for.

So necessary!

BIG NEWS!!! Shouts to @DrIbram “Jason Reynolds and Ibram X. Kendi are teaming up to help young people navigate racism” https://t.co/oI90mHt0Fh

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

"Woke" went from being a term used to raise awareness around police brutality & the rate at which police are killing unarmed Black ppl to being a term of derision used by the white establishment to mock the notion of social consciousness.

Coincidence? No, just regular racism.
