New York City was literally founded by the Dutch, built by Irish and Italian laborers, powered by Jewish, Puerto Rican, and Dominican communities, and runs on immigrant hustle. The Statue of Liberty was donated by France to honor immigrants. It’s literally the city’s logo.

Erasing Black Americans is INSANE. Doubling down in the comments is crazy. We built entire neighborhoods, Seneca village being one of them that was forcefully taken and where Central Park now stands. Lost your fucking mind.

Ok y’all getting out of pocket with this blatant erasure of Black American New Yorkers. Not even including the BA’s that came to the city during the Great Migration, but there have been BA’s, free & enslaved, in NY for generations. & the Statue of Liberty commentates THEM.

But if we held all white people responsible for slavery
How the hell does the city that experienced the biggest Islamic terrorist attack in history vote for a Muslim mayor?

People don’t like TPAB for any litany of reasons, which is fine, but when they start talking about it being “fake revolutionary” as a detraction, I tune them out. That album is about survivor’s guilt and the story is essentially told in 3 parts with HMADC as the climax.

The notoriously violent Memphis Police Department has been emboldened by the Trump administration to terrorize Black people throughout Memphis under the guise of "decreasing crime." Here is my story of MPD harassment, assault, and trumped up charges. https://t.co/oygiFdEt5V

STATEMENT: (1 of 2) We strongly condemn @CondeNast's consolidation plans for Teen Vogue, a move that is clearly designed to blunt the award-winning magazine’s insightful journalism at a time when it is needed the most. ...

This is why our belief in “meritocracy” sustains the system we purport to oppose.
If you're constantly left wondering why the worst possible people own/control all the wealth/power in the US, it's the same reason why the worst possible people are typically promoted in our workplaces: capitalism incentivizes/rewards the most despicable, anti-human attributes.

Black Studies would like a word
In a new quantum experiment, scientists saw something that challenges everything we think we know about time. Instead of flowing forward like a river, time seemed to loop and fold back on itself. Particles behaved as if their future could affect their past, blurring the line

Federal agents from ICE and HSI—some in military fatigues and masks—descended on Chinatown today in an aggressive and reckless raid on immigrant street vendors. Once again, the Trump administration chooses authoritarian theatrics that create fear, not safety. It must stop.
More than two dozen federal law enforcement officials descended on Canal Street in Chinatown on Tuesday afternoon, detaining at least four people as part of an apparent raid that later escalated into street clashes with bystanders. https://t.co/4yEXPNspF2
