Trump Talks about grabbing women by their private parts against their will, and that's considered "locker room talk".

Maxine Waters asks people to protest and that's considered "threats of violence" and "inciting violence".

Don't you dare say WHITE MALE PRIVILEGE doesn't exist.

Years from now, people will ask us where we were in this moment. We don’t want the answer to be how we felt. We want the answer to be what we did.

Despite official initiatives, public & collective memory keep concealing central role of slavery: "Never once did the guide mention slaves, slavery or African Americans or the role they played in the economic engine of Charleston" #slaveryarchive https://t.co/FAXYnbG6z0

Today we honor Luiz Gama who was born on June 21, 1830. He was the son of an African freedwoman and a Portuguese man, who illegally sold him into slavery when he was 10 years old. Journalist, lawyer and poet, he became one of Brazil's greatest abolitionists #slaveryarchive #OTD

Juneteenth - Remember the struggles of our ancestors that have paved the way for us. We as a community need to unify and build financial independence. Our black dollar holds significant weight that we need to support black businesses.

Happy birthday Antonio Maceo (1848-1896), born on June 14. Son of an Afro-Venezuelan & an Afro-Cuban woman, he fought the Ten Years War and became a general. He refused to surrender without winning Cuban independence & the abolition of slavery. #slaveryarchive #twitterhistorians

Note to news media: there is no North Korea "deal." If you use the word "deal" you're spreading Trump propaganda.

A deal has terms, requirements, dates, numbers, specific consequences for violations of the deal.

The last time Trump made a deal was his deal with Stormy Daniels.

@analuciaraujo_ I got my copy. Thank you for all of your valuable research!

@Africarevolt Wow!

[Greg Carr @AfricanaCarr]

The #Trump presidency is a teaching and learning bonanza. By refusing to admit and act on what is obvious to any sane person, government and media is showing us relationships between wealth, politics and xenophobia in the modern world system. And that the US is not an exception.
