I could spout this everyday, that's how important & necessary this type of empathy, critical self-analysis & proactive allyship is against racism, antisemitism, misogyny... against the hate-mongering of MAGA/GOP.

Guy on a motorcycle sitting at a red light, blasting In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins. He didn’t, in any way, acknowledge the drum fill. I have reported him. Lifetime ban forthcoming.

This is as bad as not playing the air guitar for the solo in Hotel California. Inexcusable!

GirlFuturist @GirlFuturistDog owners know that chocolate contains a substance that can kill dogs. It’s highly toxic to them. I understand that a common garden mulch, called cocoa shell bark, can kill #dogs as well. Plus it smells very enticing to them. FYI. https://www.snopes.com/fac...12:34 AM - May 29, 2023

Joe Biden & Kamala Harris are so incredibly underrated. What they have accomplished! Dragging everyone uphill behind them! History will call Biden one of THE consequential presidents.

In response to Connell McGrath.
I, for one, am not better than pointing out to fellow white men that they are saying racist shit
It’s how we change things.
“This is racist garbage and you should know better” isn’t hostile.

A big problem w/ white supremacy is its (perceived) approval rating.
WS is a living, breathing thing.
If you a took poll the numbers would tell a different story but not enough people denounce it publicly.
Silence and dismissal gives WS a false sense of security to be as egregious as possible

On May 1, 1865, About 10k, primarily Black participants, attended. The ceremony featured about two dozen Union officers, Black veterans, White missionaries, Black ministers giving eulogies, and around 3k Black schoolchildren who sang "John Brown's Body." #memorialday #CivilWar #storyBMP
02:21 PM - May 29, 2023

The participants sang songs like "We'll Rally Around the Flag" and "The Star-Spangled Banner." Here's Paul Robeson's version of "John Brown's Body." #JohnBrown #CivilWar #PaulRobeson #spiritual #memorialday #storyBMP #wokesongs

Pulitzer Prize-winning historian David Blight's quoted The NY Tribune report on the event at the time, describing it as: "A procession of friends and mourners as South Carolina and the United States never saw before." #memorialday #CivilWar #BlackHistory #storyBMP

Why don't most Americans know this history? Because this was not the Memorial Day history many Whites wanted to commemorate. But the "woke" among us will ensure that, like "John Brown," its soul will march on.

There is no doubt in my mind that we must start working on taxing the churches in this nation, especially since they pose a threat not only to democracy here, but in other nations as well. It is time to enact the Johnson Act. It is there, we should use it.

Chester Himes (1909-84) wrote short stories, screenplays, & novels with social & moral truth. He is best-known for his Harlem Detective series (9 books) about Grave Digger Jones & Coffin Ed Johnson. (I’ve read and enjoyed them all.) His friends included Langston Hughes, Richard Wright, & Malcolm X.

“James Baldwin, another proud and temperamental genius, said that if he hadn’t left the United States he would have killed someone. The same could be said of Chester Himes, the intellectual and gangster who left the United States for Europe in the 1950s. He achieved fame abroad with his Harlem detec..
