It's obvious that Chris Van Hollen should be Majority Leader. Been saying this for some time.

Congratulations to Governor @govwesmoore.bsky.social from my home state of Maryland on winning a second term yesterday! He made Black history as the first Black governor of Maryland and the third Black person elected governor in the United States. #Election2026 #throwback

I’m gonna say what I’ve only been saying in group chat here: I really hope the dems don’t fumble this shit. Let’s do the work!

Here's a photo of Blanche Bruce, the last Black person to represent Mississippi in the U.S. Senate. He was born into slavery in 1841. Scott Colom is currently up 43 votes over incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith.

All 3 of them are gone. It’s like taking out the trash.

Go Canada 🇨🇦 💥👏🫂💙

Georgia, Alabama and Washington all elected trans and nonbinary legislators!

Jaelynn Scott wins her district in Washington State! She is the first out trans black woman to serve in a state leigslature! She wins with 87% of the vote!

I live in a blue state. Today, when I went to vote, people gave me funny looks for wearing a mask. 😷 That's one of the reasons why, regardless of how sick I feel or how severe my disability becomes, I force myself to vote. My life depends on it.

Sleeping and healing.

If all of your needs were met without working somehow, what would you spend your time doing?

Hoping the kids in my neighborhood enjoy these treats I left on my front porch. 🙂

disabled people who have never and will never work, deserve enough money to; go on vacation, buy a new phone, splurge on an outfit, go to a concert.

A bald baddie. #CancerSurvivor ♥️

The millennial urge to repeat your phone number twice on voicemails because your were raised to leave messages on answering machines…

After 6 months of chemotherapy, I finally got to ring the bell. I beat cancer for a second time! Though my body feels like it's been through hell & back, I’m excited to be on the road to recovery! Thank you to everyone who supported me during this journey. ♥️ #cancersurvivor #cancer #chemotherapg

Yes & the attack on Black studies has been going on for a long time & has had articles published on it in many publications, they do not want people learning African American history or thought. This is not new at all & you need to be tapped in with Black community if it is to you.

We are in the “you can’t learn that anymore” stage of fascism, for anyone still keeping track.

New rationale for revoking the 19th just dropped! Men are all over social media suggesting women shouldn’t have the right to vote bc Lindsay Clancy exists. By that logic, men should have lost the right to vote the day after they got it.

Maria Bartiromo is one of the worst propagandists in mainstream news. Wishing her all bad luck in her future career.

NEW: Fox News parts ways with longtime anchor Maria Bartiromo.

NEW: wrote about why it’s so problematic that many of the new women’s basketball documentaries are erasing Black women’s names, greatness, labor, & contributions from the history of the sport.

this trend is a real problem

Folks in Haiti talk about this. Unfortunately, it was when the US Army decided to bomb parts of Haiti during the 1917 invasion.

You know how tripped out someone had to be seeing a plane for the first time and not knowing what it was?

I never thought I'd reach a point in my life where I’d have an IV pole in my bedroom. #cancersucks

Puerto Rico is not getting enough attention! They’re suffering right now… #Pinks #USDemocracy

Police murdered a Black man in the street in Madison WI today. Shot point blank in the head while on the ground, tased, and surrounded by four cops. It looks like an execution. Multiple videos circulating online. Things are about to get very bad here.

A nurse at my cancer center who has known me for over 15 years just asked my mother and me if I have a father! Mind you, my father has taken me to treatment and visited me in the hospital here several times. Racism in healthcare remains undefeated!

Obama won, yet again. 🏆 He threw a concert, people actually showed up, and had a damn good time.
