The fact that Kim Kardasian feels comfortable enough to show her new cashmere-lined private jet on TV shows we're not doing enough to scare the rich lol
Wanda Sykes says she is “still traumatized” by the Oscars slap:
"I can't talk about it. I get emotional. I couldn't believe he was still sitting there… Shouldn't you be sitting there with a lawyer or LAPD, motherfucker? I hope he gets his shit together. Until then, fuck him."
Hollywood is really showing they *could* fire rapists and abusers with the quickness—if they cared.
remember how and when they're able to quickly mobilize.
Melissa Barrera has been dropped from “Scream VII” after making several tweets critical of Israel
“Gaza is currently being treated like a concentration camp,” she wrote in one post
a multimillionaire creating entertainment by putting people poorer than him through extreme challenges (that he'd never do himself) to potentially win a fraction of his wealth is twisted.
“The Royal Navy is ending its century-old tradition of having Chinese servants on warships amid fears that they could be forced to spy for Beijing. Hundreds of Chinese laundrymen have worked on Britain’s warships since the 1930”
if you wonder why Black people identify with the fight for Palestinian liberation: the white media's refusal to see our children as children resonates.
Many folks bring up rape as a reason to not defund cops.
Here's a screenshot of LA police threatening to not investigate rape if there's 5% cut on their nearly $1.8 billion budget.
I'm going to slowly drop some research on police and rape from my archives below.
it's a shitty thing business owners do to rile up resentment against their workers instead of just...covering their health insurance like other expenses. it's so evil.
Are good intentions good enough?

jaboukie got his account deleted in minutes for a legit joke, but an account i reported with the n-word in its header and tweets is still up 46 hours later.
So frontier is punishing employees after two of them were sexually assaulted? Everywhere I look, victims are punished. We really are expected to just sit there and take it
This what i mean when i say heteropatriarchy normalizes men hating their romantic partners and kids. Yeah it's a "joke" but that's how these attitudes are taken less seriously
Arizona Department of Corrections Director David Shinn just told the state legislature we can't shut down private prisons because too many communities rely on the cheap labor they provide and they would "collapse" without it
I don't fucking care if rich people get their debt forgiven as long as my broke Black ass gets relief. the ivy league grad is already privileged. Dont use THEM to deny ME relief
The Ivy League grad working as an investment banker making six figures out of college would get potentially a far greater benefit by way of debt relief than a teacher making a fraction of that. TARGETED student loan relief based upon need and selflessness of one's profession

1. Tell us what you're sorry about exactly
2. Keep your feelings out of it. We don't care you're embarrassed/could change things/etc.
3. What did you believe? How did you change those beliefs?
4. Adults can still be racist. We need more info than you just getting older
I think it's incredible to watch a Black woman refuse to destroy herself for a white institution.
People praise "Black excellence" but we rarely spreak about the invisible psychological cost of participating on terms hostile to your well-being.
BREAKING: Georgetown and 15 other top schools are being sued for alleged antitrust violations, according to The Wall Street Journal. The suit claims the schools engaged in price fixing and colluded to limit student financial aid. More to come.

shows people will go out of their way to support transphobes. Transphobia is white supremacy. Transphobia has been a tool to eradicate indigenous cultures around the world.
Fuck your white supremacist ideology.
There's something depraved about seeing people in need and only saying "make sure you vote Democrat next year!"
People are broke, scared, sick, and dying NOW.
"I don't understand why y'all don't see it's abusive"
I understand why:
- there's no widespread education on healthy relationships!
- many were raised by abusive and controlling people so it's hard to identify
- reputable resources on healthy relationships are hard to find!
Christians want you to support Israel because they believe genociding Palestinians will bring the End Times, where Jewish people are forced to convert to Christianity—or die.
hope that helps!
🇮🇱 Why Christians SHOULD support Israel
“If you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish.” Esther 4:14
Share with your Christian friends.
And the thing is I know it's a race thing because white people learn Schwarzenegger and Buttigieg but as soon as they see a black face they suddenly can't be bothered.
😡😡😡😡😡😡
This is why *I* said something online. Some folks said we should have kept quiet, but sometimes all someone needs is people to be publicly angry on their behalf. Sometimes they needed people on the outside to show that their feelings were RIGHT and are VALID.
Good for her.
Namibia's Christine Mboma and Beatrice Masilingi have been withdrawn from the 400m race at the Olympics by World Athletics.
They are said to not be eligible for female classification.
The same rules are affecting Caster Semenya, Francine Niyonsaba and Margaret Wambui.
Today I learned Maslow’s hierarchy of needs was borrowed and misrepresented Siksika (Blackfeet Nation) teachings. And he didn’t give them proper credit.
People who steal shampoo from a store should be arrested and jailed - not shot - just like people who defraud banks, inspire insurrections, and steal top secret documents.
NEW: A Kentucky woman visiting her boyfriend in Texas shot her Uber driver to death because she mistakenly believed he was trying to “kidnap her and take her to Mexico.”
Daniel J. Piedra Garcia was a a 52-year-old husband and father in El Paso.

5. "I only stand and have only stood for long and inclusivity" is gaslighting because your racist past behaviors show that isn't true.
6. Offer something concrete for repair and build trust that you're not still antiBlack as hell.
and this is how people rewrite history. Reagan’s election was a pivotal moment in white evangelicals and Republicans combining forces to be the party of white supremacy.
I asked President Reagan’s son, Ron Reagan, if his dad would recognize the Republican Party right now.
His answer: “He would be horrified by the Republican Party right now, the spinelessness in the face of the pathological entity in the White House right now would shock him.”
Every company releasing a Black Lives Matter statement should include data on the number of Black people on staff and management, the company's racial wage gap, and what they're doing to fix it.
