Me to Son: why do you watch so much Wild N Out? This show is dumb.
Son to me: I watch shows that keep me in a good mood & don’t stress me out. You come home & watch the news, it makes you mad & then you have an attitude for the day.
Me: currently watching Wild N Out.

I truly think of Regina King often. I pray she’s healing and has supporting, loving, people lifting her up. I know she’s disappeared from the public. But I pray she knows that there are women holding her in deep and affirming love.
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but sitting in traffic listening to this White Woman Call….and it might be more transformative than the black woman call. Why? Because watching white women hand themselves their own ass is something I NEVER THOUGHT I’d see….
#AnswerTheCall2024
Truth: and this is going to hurt.
There are some of you who think that if Biden’s administration didn’t address your issue yet- that nothing has been done for black people.
The problem is you refuse to acknowledge black people that are not just like YOU.

Learning tonight of her untimely passing stopped me in my tracks.
My deepest condolences to her family and all who experienced her gift. She was a beacon for justice.
@MidwinCharles
Felicity Huffman is begging not to spend a mere 30 days in jail because motherhood is so hard.
Poor mothers around the country are jailed for using an address in a better neighborhood to give their children an opportunity at a better education. Spare me.
This cheating scandal is truly incredulous. The more I read on it, the more infuriated I become. Y’all really out here faking grades, whole entire sports your kids don’t even play, test scores, disabilities- just how much privilege do y’all need exactly? The whole entire world?

The sensationalism is tearing our country apart? Not the racism or the police brutality & violence against women by authorities of the law
The foresight & wherewithal that Maxine Waters held over the last 4 years deserves its own wing in the halls of justice.
She stood- sometimes alone- calling for Trump’s impeachment and his removal.
We owe her a tremendous debt of gratitude.
She’s a hero.
#Impeach
America's tolerance for white men throwing temper tantrums about their losses is foundational. (Confederate flag anyone.....)
Expect this for at least another 400 years. (Skips off back into black fairy land)
The women’s basketball coverage this morning is infuriating. Center the ACTUAL WINNERS PLEASE. Black women always have to fight for the WIN AND THE RECOGNITION.

I think the anger of some over Harry and Megan’s announcement to be free standing adults is revealing.
It bothers people to see a black woman with an identity decide to leave a toxic environment regardless of how stately & it also bothers people to see her husband support her.
To be a Negro in this country and to be relatively conscious is to be in a state of rage almost, almost all of the time — and in one's work.
James Baldwin
It made sense then. It makes sense today.
I'm a woman whose been sexually assaulted so I feel I can say this publicly. How is it that no one has escaped their inappropriate sexual behavior towards women this past year but Trump? The hypocrisy by many who voted this assailant into office is infuriating.
#mattlauer
Black voters are going to surprise the hell out of these pundits. All this speaking for us that’s being done is ridiculous. And FYI, a poll is not going to tell ACCURATELY what way we are going. I talk to black folks all day every day and we are STILL thinking it over.
I ain’t mad.
Chris waited, made millions of dollars and history on NETFLIX’s first LIVE to address this controversy.
He did it his way. 🔥 And I respect that. And if anyone noticed, he was crying. That was therapy for him.
And so the beef will never die. Ever.

I’m praying for Ruth Bader Ginsburg like you CANNOT imagine. Lord fill her spirit with echinacea, vitamins A,B,C & D, supplement her with glucosamine, ginger and aloe and cranberry root. All together now! Send healing, restorative and sustaining light.. 💫

The frequent belittling by Meghan McCain about anything she doesn’t agree w/ is despicable.

Her entitled behavior is disrespectful & (not to inject race into this) but I know for certain NO BLACK woman could bring THAT nasty attitude to work & remain employed.
@TheView
Last nite, there was an attempted assault on me. An encounter that will require I take immediate legal action. The worst of it is that I was with my daughter.
The conduct of the white man who assailed me will not be ignored. We are in a fever pitch of vitriol and I’m tired.
I could go on. But my point?
This administration is 6 days old. I’m certain we will get our fair share of disappointment but the last 6 days have been glorious to watch a functioning government resume footing and address the needs of the nation.
Does anyone besides me hear Anthony Scaramucci on Morning Joe calling Trump insane and saying his entire staff is afraid of him and explain the severity of his lies and, wait and that he absolutely must go in November?
It really is the apocalypse.
#MorningJoe
Nobody’s coming for us family. We are Tom Hanks on a deserted island with no Wilson. We must save ourselves next November at the polls.....

But it should damn sure try.
When I was young, I never wore red. I was told by a church mother, that it was a color for harlots. I didn’t know what a harlot was but I knew I didn’t want to be one. Today I showed up on my 44th birthday to get my mail in red sequins and a matte red lip. 1/

Today is my 43rd Birthday. I promised myself that for my birthday I would start writing again. I didn't write a single blog in 2019. I am back....I hope.....

#blackjournalismmatters
I think I’m stuck on the fact that the IRS gave Trump a $15 million dollar tax return, which he mocked- but if I make $12 extra dollars a year they chase me around for $10. There’s a fundamental fracture with the makeup of this country’s systems.
#CohenCongressionalTestimony
This is the personification of white male privilege. He is unhinged- screaming about his soup kitchen visits while his musings of his own vile words are in front of him. He will shout louder until the questions stop. And other white men will still vote yes!
#KavanaughHearings
How many of you ACTUALLY paid attention to the executive orders issued before you pontificated about how you knew this administration wasn’t going to do shit?
What black folks are you referring to?
You’re not talking about black folks in college.
Carnival Executives Knew They Had a Virus Problem, But Kept the Party Going
This is the most egregious corporate greed and willful malice I’ve seen since this outbreak began.

sis- we ride ONWARD.
Trust this isn’t the last stop. We thank you for showing up as yourself and unapologetically confronting the issues that harm, plague and disrupt our communities.
The encounter reinforced two things I already knew. My husband will risk everything to protect his family and law enforcement does not respond for black women in the ways they respond for other women.
Beloveds, protect yourself & families. In whatever ways you must.
And,

I see myself, I see my children and I see people who’s lives look nothing like my own represented in the executive orders over the last 6 days...
I see black men in the representation of these signed orders and policies and I believe there is more to come.
You’re not talking about black folks who live in communities that have poor quality of air due to the former administrations rampant abuses of our climate and rollback of basic climate rights right? Not those black folks?
This pandemic hits our family differently today. I now fully understand it’s implications & it’s truly surreal.
We lost a loved one yesterday. I’ll address it more specifically soon but as my family grapples w/ the weight of this loss, in addition to fear- I now feel rage.
The continued rebuke by many of Harry & Meghans decision to step away from royal duties by the public & by members of their family proves two things.
1. People suck. Don’t let them tell you what you should prioritize.
2. Many of these people have never TRULY been loved.
Folks, I’ve polled black people & as I suspected- they will not be taking the vaccine for

When asked for their reasoning, they mentioned Henrietta Lacks, The Tuskegee experiment, Monday, Tuesday in the US.

ad campaign. Confused much? Tell us why you’re really mad. The faux outrage is depleting.

Not those black people either right?
The media is investing heavily into Trump 2024. It’s ridiculous.
Let’s get him out of the White House first please before you invest the resources to continue to cover him for the next four years.
It’s sickening. More reason you need diverse and inclusive news teams.

I’ve been watching white people storm public squares & courthouses for a full week- screaming & and kicking the air threatening police w/ guns, flags & swastikas & MAGA hats. Foam frothing from their mouths like vamps and I have YET to see anyone respond with “Blue Lives Matter”.
