@AngelaCarling#Worldtok is a wonderful thing if anything! Other human beings from all over the world sharing their life & their country & their perspective in a decent way. Life is beautiful & I truly love to see the differences of culture & life experience.
The vast influence of BlackRock, State-street, and Vanguard over the S&P 500 companies is a glaring testament to the concentration of power in the hands of a few. Their aggressive move into the housing market is equally alarming. RFK Jr's prediction that by 2030, they could own 60% of single-family homes in the U.S. is a wake-up call for all. The question remains: Who truly owns America?
Everyone knew about Harvey Weinstein. Everyone knew about R. Kelly, Bill Cosby, and Jeffrey Epstein. Everyone knew about the Catholic priests. Everyone knew about Donald Trump. I’m so tired of people protecting rich perverts, keeping their dark secrets for decades. So damn tired.
78% of people in the US are now living paycheck-to-paycheck, while the 400 richest people added another $500 billion to their $4.5 trillion net worth last year.
Capitalism is working as intended, and this will only get worse if we allow it to continue.
@Jeanne_Mann This makes sense given basic laws of human interactions. I reflect on what is my relationship to that person or that culture? I think I learned this insight because of Hip Hop existing in my life since childhood. I'm not tempted to use it because I understand our history.
@Jeanne_Mann The use of the word is based on context. Who is using the word? How is this being used & to what contextual purpose? I love hip-hop for example & I do not use the word out of respect & I believe I have a responsibility to extend this to any person.

It’s actually incredibly cruel to keep doing this when his living family have said the genocide Israel is committing presently does NOT align with his views. Stop weaponizing Black people.

In 1988, during the late hours of the night, a Hawaiian musician named Israel Kamakawiwo'ole reached out to a local studio, urgently requesting a recording session. Eagerly, he implored the engineer, expressing his desire to bring his idea to life. In a remarkable display of talent and spontaneity, Kamakawiwo'ole recorded a rendition of the beloved song "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" in a single take. This rendition would soon resonate deeply with listeners worldwide, touching the hearts of countless individuals.
The recording itself featured Kamakawiwo'ole's voice accompanied solely by his ukulele, creating a mesmerizing and unforgettable experience for anyone who encountered it. Despite the artist's untimely passing in 1997 at the age of 38, his music and his remarkable but brief life have continued to profoundly impact people from all corners of the globe.
I had an abortion when I was 26 and while I disclose this chapter of my life in my forthcoming memoir, I decided to publicly disclose it now because we need to understand all kinds of women get abortions and we don’t need to justify shit https://t.co/rOXJ9hIHb5
Those men were at the constitutional convention on stolen land writing about "freedom" while eating meals prepared by the human beings they owned. Some chewed and swallowed that food with teeth stolen from someone else's mouth. And we were taught in school to call them "fathers."
Many have rightfully pointed out that poor and working class women of color and trans people who can become pregnant will be the most impacted by the criminalization of abortion.
