Wesley Bell must have took that aipac money spent it right. Had the Black elders full of sheet cake and chicken.

Bell won, NBC News projects, with ad support from a pro-Israel super PAC, while Bush had backing from prominent progressives.

Google is wrong as fuck for having Thomas Sowell all up in my search for this Amos Wilson book.

I haven’t forgot the media asking why COVID didn’t run rampant throughout African countries like it did in the U.S.

Direct link to a video that illustrates the basic level of Covid screening that Nigeria reached very quickly, but that the US never reached.🤷🏿‍♂️ Q: "How did Nigeria do better than us on Covid?" A: "Nigeria used basic public health policy and tech developed by the USA. We didn't."

Here’s how travellers are screened for coronavirus at Nigeria’s airports

Hate is out here, strong—but we’re STRONGER. Our campaign is about uniting people, restoring trust, and making sure every voice is heard. Just 3 days left. Chip in now. Every dollar helps us reach more voters. secure.actblue.com/donate/shane...

Growing up in Black America you experience colorism and how it affects what’s considered attractive, but I didn’t understand how deep colorism gets. For other POC the whiter the better. Like pale, transparent, uncut white.

This makes me cringe because this is when sampling was on the way out due to it being too expensive. This era was full of those beep-bop-boop funny sounding beats.

We’re old enough that new music is sampling the early 2000s.

The thing with millennials is that so much of the marketing and propaganda around the demographic was you are this and that because you’re young. You are special and cool because you’re young. Nothing else.

Idk why a naturally occurring phenomenon such as aging is so hard for anyone to accept. We all gotta age if we’re lucky enough or maybe not depending on how you view life

Phat Bottom Betty@the-cigar-girl.blacksky.app · 4d ago

Millennials are struggling to grasp the fact that WE are “old” to the Gen Z’ers Y’all… it is okay. I promise. Age is a blessing! Y’all having meltdowns cause the kids saying we were born in the 1900’s…. they aren’t lying. Get a grip!

I might need to make some adjustments to my 401k in preparation for this market crash.

I also hate how crime in the 70s to 90s is talked about without addressing deindustrialization and how this country basically walked away from the older parts of the country that developed first.

I always chuckle to myself when I hear people talk about crime in the 80s and 90s and swear New Jack City was more of a documentary than fiction.

I am officially put of my meds and still $170 short. Please retweet.

The other part about respectability is that it justifies being superficial.

The politics of Black hair is wilily because effectively it distills down to the hyper surveillance of Black people and Black life AND... the innate cultural belief that any expression of Blackness is inherently wrong

Why do bonnets & durags trigger yall so bad? ESPECIALLY when its not in professional settings…. Like how many days are yall going to fight about this 😭

Now I’m thinking about how many Black politicians don’t care for Tlaib. Her and Stephanie Chang. Both have better politics than the average Black politician.

if anyone knows of any dc non-profits hiring for support/program manager positions, holla at your girl

Y'all, I am in a LOT of pain and it's been getting worse these past few weeks. I have NO idea what's going on with me, so I have GOT to see a specialist THIS FRIDAY. PLEASE help me meet my goal of $175 minimum so I won't have to reschedule.

Che | #ProtectJho ❤️@xchemoni.blacksky.app · 2w ago

I'm seeing a specialist on the 31st (next week) and would appreciate some help seeing to that bill, as well as fixing my phone screen. I think the appointment will be around $175, and fixing my phone will be around $50.

Watching Democrats lose a generation of Black voters in real time is interesting. That Steve Harvey/Tyler Perry demographic is shrinking.

the way this city gives corporations money is crazy. You would think it doesn’t look like it does.

Just your friendly neighborhood former housing worker tapping in to remind everyone to locate your local fair housing board to report these types of practices to. You don't have to receive any kind of subsidy to access their services.

Landlords about to start rent subscriptions. This is so nasty.

One thing I don’t hear mentioned is that the bar is ridiculously low for Black politicians to get elected and progressives expose that. Progressives and the dissolution of the VRA exposes how a lot of these Black Dems have been elected w/o standing for shit.

The experience of living and working in the US continually taught me the extent and cruelty of policies which purposely overemphasize personal effort and education over systemic changes and greater government regulation because the latter would hurt shareholders of private corporations.

I’ve worked with some of these respectable negros and I hate the place they put me in. You act professional, but suck at the job. Now I got to listen to white folks bitch about how bad you are and can’t defend you because I see the same thing.

I still don’t understand why Black folks of a certain generation are militantly against wearing hats inside a building.

I, too, am asking everyone to please share!

QuietRiot@quietriot10.bsky.social · 2w ago

As a person who needs a kidney, I couldn’t agree w/ you more. There are over 100,000 people in need of a kidney donation. Searching for a living donor is humbling. Asking strangers, BLACK strangers to donate a kidney w/our history with medicine, is a lot. NKR.ORG/GHJ283 so I’m asking please, share.

Hakeem Jeffries endorsing Shri Thanedar shouldn’t have made me chuckle the way I did.
