There’s a long tradition of people underestimating us. It’s never worked out for them.

Every generation learns that waiting changes nothing.

Stillness can be strategy. Pause when agitated or confused.

Good morning, Black people! We made it to Friday by any means necessary. I’m proud of us. Keep it bare minimum today. Bless.

Peace vs silence: One is chosen. The other is imposed. #blackstandardcollective

Per Gov. Ron DeSantis, the immigration detention center in the Florida swamps known as "Alligator Alcatraz" is closing after nearly a year.

“Normal” is just whatever the powerful haven’t bothered to question yet. It is just what they are allowing us to have. For now. #blackstandardcollective

Donald Trump thinks protesting his birthday party extravaganza means we hate America… No, we just hate you. So, suck it up you big SNOWFLAKE! 😎✨

Japan's population decline....will they resort to immigration?

Seemed like a huge story. Who runs that country now?

Everything about the current American administration is Crooked and Weird…..

Celebrating Starmer's move on speech and media? Loving that Bluesky is untouched? Feeling triumphant? When the state begins with control of expression the state ends with murder of citizens. #History #Data #Science #Facts #Evidence

A major city announced it’s converting unused office towers into housing. Turns out the “return to office” debate ends pretty quickly when the buildings stop making money.

Stores are quietly refusing cash and calling it a “digital transition.” 🤔 When physical currency disappears your ability to buy food, fuel, or basic necessities can be switched off with a single keystroke. Cash is a safeguard against oligarch control.

Car Dealerships If you suffer the misery of buying a car, for fun, ask about the "title, tags, transfer fee." They literally answer, "We are allowed to charge that by law." It is flat out, "we just want some more money so pay it." #Greed #Awfulness

Some months ago, I saw a quote: “I want to tell you the gentlest thing.” I wonder what it meant—“You are seen”? “You can rest”? For me, gentleness feels like morning light on hills, the scent of linden trees, a quiet kindness that asks nothing. I would like to be told the gentlest thing.

Acum câteva luni am văzut un citat: „Vreau să-ți spun cel mai blând lucru.” De atunci mă întreb ce a vrut să spună omul care l-a scris. Ce lucru poate fi atât de blând încât trebuie rostit aproape ca o rugăciune?

Child poverty is a moral failure and completely shameful and unforgivable. Poorest nations on Earth care for the youngest. US leading the way in bending over backwards for the wealth and it makes me sick, it really does.

"Tradition" can be a hard, hard word for some of us.

With what frequency is “tradition” invoked to defend practices that were never admirable? Shall we conduct periodic reviews of our traditions?

Black women still with worst mental health challenges and bad outcomes. But we knew this. But they still act surprised. But it could be fixed. But they don't want to. #BlackStandardCollective #ReproJustice #HealthEquity

1800's internet? Broadband map dropped and half our neighborhoods have internet that craaaawwwwls. Just shout questions out the window? Kids can’t do homework on buffering. Adults can’t apply for jobs on buffering. Incompetence is not an accident. #Connectivity #BlackStandardCollective

I sneaked a looksee in recent days. Honestly I am not able to determine who supports..."this guy." Thinking we could make the old impeachment stick this time, get the Senate to convict and take out the trash.

Go look on X, the right hates her. MAGA imploding.

Pedo administration’s attempt to halt immigration to “sanctuary cities” is less policy and more performance — a symbolic fight dressed up as national security. THERE IS NO VIAGRA FOR THIS IMPOTENCE.

The big ones: sense of ease, feeling that like can be okay, some logic.

It took me a mere few minutes to compile a list, though I could have continued ad infinitum: •Lower inflation, •lower energy and grocery prices, •no invasion of Venezuela and Iran, •16 military lives would have been saved, •most likely no corruption, (cont.) www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/05/here...
