"we can disagree & still be friends" - sure babe, about pineapple on pizza. not about oppression.

‘Grandma’s Hands’ by Bill Withers is about his maternal grandmother who was born enslaved. Bill Withers died in 2020.

The Holocaust: “Never forget” 911: “Never forget” Slavery: “why you keep bringing up old stuff?”

On Feb. 3, 1870, the 15th Amendment was ratified—promising Black Americans the right to vote. It took nearly 100 years—and the Voting Rights Act of 65—for that promise to be enforced. History shows us this clearly: voter suppression doesn’t end on its own. It has to be stopped.

“Racism will go away if we would just stop talking about it,” has to be one of the dumbest schools of thought ever created.

Happy 2nd day of black history month. Pecan ice cream IS BLACK HISTORY African Americans were segregated and we couldn't eat " pure white vanilla ice-cream " (wild huh over ice cream white people were petty back then 😬) Crazy how a ice cream was a protest as well.

I hate when I’m feeling nonverbal and people are feeling verbal like please shut the fuck up

HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH! MAYBE JUST MAYBE PEOPLE WILL LISTEN TO US WHEN WE TELL THEM HOW TO ORGANIZE EFFECTIVELY, THAT HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF, THAT IT IS A CAPITAL B IN BLACK, AND THAT LIBERATION IS EXPENSIVE. BLACK PEOPLE, I LOVE YOU 👏🏾🤎✊🏾

It’s always about how you don’t show up on demand.

When you are the only one like you in a room, and you speak up, the cost is higher — and the protection is thinner. That is a reality a lot of people never have to confront.

Imagine if ICE went this hard to find all of these missing and exploited children

3. 'Cultural fit' is a loyalty test, not a personality quiz. It means: 'Are you willing to put this company before your own life?' When they ask if you're a cultural fit, they're asking if you're willing to be a good soldier. Not a good person.

2. Your boundaries are a threat to their system. When you say 'no,' you're not just protecting your time. You're showing everyone else that 'no' is an option. And nothing terrifies a toxic culture more than a person who knows their rights.

Here are 3 truths about corporate 'culture' they don't put in the handbook: 1. 'Good work ethic' is just a measure of your exploitability. It's not about quality. It's about your willingness to be the most available, the most compliant, the most willing to sacrifice yourself.

Sound off : Coloradans will vote in November on a conservative-backed ballot initiative to require local and state law enforcement to work with ICE. Initiative #95 qualified for the ballot today.

UNPOPULAR TRUTH: If you have to keep proving your value, you’re already in the wrong room.

Some people don’t get their confidence from compliments.

Manipulators don’t hate you because you did something wrong. They hate you because you can’t be controlled.

The moment you stop over-explaining, people either adjust or disappear. Either way, it works.

If you can’t fail publicly, you can’t lead.

HOT TAKE: Apologising for your reaction while they never address their behaviour is not accountability. It’s conditioning.
