my mama always taught me to believe who people say they are. Black women are going to tire of repeating ourselves—meanwhile, they don’t care about *any* of us.
Clock it.

Katie Britt is going to be parodied on #SNL and that’ll only make her audience love her more. She bugged *me* cause she was lying thru her teeth and sounded like Chelsea crying to Jimmy but I’m not her intended audience.
The “traditional wives” they want to organize are a direct response to DeSantis’ fails and the pro-abortion women’s wave.
The GOP messaging strategy has shifted and it’s scary. And I hope we’re paying attention. Don’t be fooled. #SOTU #SOTUResponse
a very old tweet. a very present reminder.
Christ,
Born in a lowly manger. A little Jewish boy. Born a refugee. To a mother of faith and a father of commitment. In a city called Bethlehem. That sits in what we now know as the West Bank of Palestine…
Please forgive us.
Please forgive us for not loving our neighbors across the globe as you commanded. For ignoring the crises in Sudan and Ethiopia, the cleansings in Congo and your beloved birthplace in the land known as Palestine.
Please forgive us for confusing and confounding faith with state violence, hate, antisemitism and Islamophobia. Forgive us for hurting, abusing, and maiming people and claiming it is in God’s name. Forgive us for spreading falsehoods and doctrines that don’t serve peace.
Forgive us, Lord. Forgive us for the sins of white supremacy and poverty, militarism and colonialism, abuse and oppression worldwide and right here at home.
And in your forgiveness, please correct us. Urgently. Fully. We desperately need a course correction on love—that can not be born of violence-and peace-that can not be born of oppression.
You gave us this day, to celebrate your birth, but we have not honored You. I know it’s a lot to ask on your birthday, but there is no Christmas in Bethlehem today.
It is being bombed.
I love you. Amen.

She called for protection.
But she needed protection from the police.

A dispatch to humanity. I pray we answer with loving and persistent action. Yes, even and especially now.

Hi everyone, it’s Bisan from Gaza, I am still alive Alhamdullah.. it’s been 107 days of genocide, 15 weeks, 2568 hours of killing us, taking over our homes and lands in Gaza Strip, and forcing us to choose between leaving or death.. and sometimes we can’t even choose.. the Israeli air strikes simply kill us without any warnings.
Now, we are without any connection, neither the internet nor the cellular, we can’t reach each other’s inside Gaza, we don’t know if our families and friends are alive or not, wounded or not.. still in their places or not! We take hours of walking and searching to reach someone, while moving became very risky! We can’t reach to you as well! The footage, information and news from Gaza are not reaching you as before because the Israeli army intentionally destroyers the signal towers and the servers, even using the E-SIM requires being in a high place which is very risky!. I borrowed this vest to upload this post!
I am not scared of death, but of being displaced, scared of losing my family or friends, scared of being wounded and can’t have my treatment because the health system is collapsed in Gaza, and to die in pain! I am not scared of the destruction.. I lost my work place.. my home and my family work place and source of income, I am terrified of being killed by an occupier, and to be forgotten, one oppressed Bisan of a whole occupied people.
The strongest governments and weapons manufacturers are supporting this genocide against my people, and you are our only hope! STRIKE globally and call for a ceasefire! Strike, protest, stop the economic movements and make pressure on your countries to stand against this and stop it, if ISRAhell don’t find the financial and weapons support, or governments to hide their crimes they will be forced to stop the genocide!
Go to the streets, protest and Globally strike for a week, (21-28) January! YALLA Brave and free people of the world, CEASEFIRE NOW!
good morning, Black girls. good morning Black queer fam. good morning @niecynash1, who brought a word on a stage and the benediction after.
Thank YOURSELF.
Because you are the only one who knew what it cost. 🫶🏾

TRIGGER WARNING. @washu, this can’t be what “Strength Through Truth” means.
I don’t have the words to express how shattered my heart is that a university that just celebrated my own activism, which began in its modern form as resistance to police violence, and celebrated my endurance through precisely this kind of violent response to protest, answered current students, faculty and community the same way these same police departments answered us in Ferguson and across STL.
I am shattered that the home of the Black Manifesto, where Brookings Hall sit-ins and campus encampments as recent as *5 years ago* against Racism, war, labor abuse and more were not only largely uninterrupted and allowed, but resulted in change across the university. This includes anti-ROTC and anti-Vietnam protestors, who occupied Brookings Hall in the 1968 after attempting to raid the rifle reserves on campus and more. They weren’t swept or raided from their encampment.
And after the disruptive and dangerous racism from white fraternity members in Bear’s Den just last month that did not receive this kind of response, this can not be the place I once dreamed of sending my own son.
Is this who you are? Because for many alumni, it stands in clear opposition to who we thought you to be.
Insurrectionists and tiki torch bearers disgustingly screaming “J*ws will not r*place us” being treated better than people who know that killing over 30,000 civilians is an abomination should haunt us all.
I’m not saying anything I haven’t said directly to you on multiple occasions and in email this morning. Grant amnesty for these non-violent protestors, protect first amendment protest and marginalized students, and cut partnerships with war profiteers. #WashU

well looky looky looooooky…it’s as if it was NEVER actually about “plagiarism” after all🧐🧐🤨🤨🫨🫨
#ClaudineGay #BillAckman #Plaigarism #IThoughtAHaterSaidSomething
so did you mean it or nah? Cause there’s *plenty* happening to apply your #MLKDay behavior to every other day of the week.
unless it was 🧢🧢🧢🧢🧐🧐🧐
to my miraculous two year old,
It is the single greatest privilege of my life to know you. To watch you. To celebrate you. To laugh with you. To soothe you. To watch you discover yourself. To watch you know yourself. To watch you know your voice. To watch you exercise your agency and see God’s light in your eyes.
I stand in absolute awe that you were sweet enough to choose me. That God loaned you to us. That you continue to show me what’s possible or beyond my wildest imagination.
We are celebrating you today, the same day we lay your grand-Godfather to rest. He prayed for you daily. Every FaceTime he gave you the same beaming smile he always gave me. It made you feel invincible, didn’t it? I know. That’s what it did for me. I’m pretty sure Uncle Reggie and Grandpa Ronald are upstairs singing you happy birthday—the Stevie version, because that’s the one we sing, my baby—and they’re singing it off key, tears streaming, smiles beaming, turning to Jesus and telling Him thank you.
“Time flies when you’re beating the odds.” From a four months NICU stay to a two year old, I have never been so honored to know a single soul as magnificent as you.
Happy birthday to my sweetest pea.
you’re the real mvp.
I love you forever and ever, to the heavens and back.
mommy ❤️
yung auntie didn’t mean to yell but yall HAVE TO see @originmovie.
Nobody is paying me to say this: it is absolutely one of the most important things I’ve ever seen and in THIS era, in THIS moment of history, it is required viewing, sharing, and exemplifying the message.
so get yo butt up and make it happen pls and thank you.

Black women: We deserve the first fruits. We planted the seeds, harvested the food, presented it beautifully—and we must no longer wait our turn just to get whatever crumbs are left.
a brief but beautiful conversation with the pathbreaking Rev. Kelly Brown Douglas of @episdivsch, on Dr. Claudine Gay, Dr. Antoinette Candia-Bailey, and the promises and perils of Black women leadership.
This was the worship I needed today.
Let the church say, amen. 🙏🏾
Thank you to all who joined—especially the beautiful Black women who encouraged ourselves and one another in the comments. 🙌🏾
