Stephen Miller Unveils Bizarre New Attack on Birthright Citizenship Stephen Miller has found a new excuse to ignore the Constitution.

Claiming birthright citizenship—a legal doctrine created to address the status of people born to those of African descent—is a “welfare scam” is:

Dog whistle politics.
Framing effect.
Associative bias.
Availability heuristics.
Symbolic racism.

Gordon Parks is a treasure. And this is one of my favorite photos of his.

But I resurrected it because Dictator GOP has determined that segregated facilities are no longer illegal in federal contracts. As a civil and human rights attorney, I have thoughts.

Umm because their entire workforce is…nevermind.

Happy Black History Month yall

citizen??? He ain’t even that. This whole thing is treasonous and it’s wild that we even still believe in democracy

N.Y. Attorney General Warns Hospitals Against Canceling Transgender Care (Gift Article) A White House executive order last week threatened to pull federal funding from hospitals that provide gender-affirming care. But not providing the care could violate state law, Letitia James said in ...

The New York attorney general, Letitia James, has warned New York hospitals that complying with the White House’s executive order to end gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth could well violate state law.

…and this is why in between elections, we need to start creating a new party.

Because the Dems’ response to what’s going on is lackluster and unserious

Take yall children to those black history events that will be held at some local libraries. It starts at home

Literally why we’ll never have a post-racial society

With all my heart

Truthfully, why Hakeem? And honestly, the Dems really ain’t doing this Jesus thing right frfr (if that’s even the God he talking about). It’s all a mess…

With Trump now cutting off HIV treatment and preventative care globally, I hope dawhytes are seeing the trend:

First we go after the folks you’re indifferent and silent about…and then you’ll be left alone.

That may be what some of yall fantasize in your head as ideal, but if you ain’t in the 1%..

The Air Force has just been ordered to no longer educating recruits about the Tuskegee Airman.

I expect racists to be racist. But I also expect those who are not racist to not be silent.

I fear that MLK is right; that the silence of so-called friends is the real enemy.

The Dems are way too quiet about these raids.

It was a town’s only Black-owned bookstore. It is now a refuge for those displaced by the California fires Nikki High’s Octavia’s Bookshelf in Pasadena was spared by the fire, but touched by change, it became a hub of relief

I love us, for real.

Still believe this in my soul. And am forever changed by that brief but real moment of hope

See…I am not trusting of much but I still have so many questions. I can’t…

The Peacemakers are on Strike The church told me "blessed are the peacemakers," but I don't know if I can be peaceful this time.

“We’ve all seen "peacemakers" shake hands with oppressors while preaching patience to the oppressed. We mistake the quiet of submission for the quiet of healing, the stillness of fear for the stillness of resolution.”

Martin Luther King, Jr. marching during the movement.

"If peace means keeping my mouth shut in the midst of injustice and evil, I don't want it." MLK, Jr, 1956. The Rev. Dr. King died fighting for justice and equality for the working poor. As you remember his birth don’t misremember his life.

Ok I just turned into service, and Pastor Walrond is talking about the algorithms, impact of social media and other current affairs.

If your church ain’t current…it just ain’t current.

Here are other rights to keep in mind. If you need more info or these in different translations head to bit.ly/know-any.

And please, to my Black immigrant community: don’t sleep on this at all!

Thank you @ykreborn.bsky.social for the slides and info

I hate to break it to folks: but there are deeper issues than a broken clock, Snoop or Nelly.

If you have loved ones who are immigrants (remember, we live in a country with 🤡 who claim they can tell what an immigrant looks like): mass raids under the upcoming administration begin this week. 1/2

Any Black person who performs at Trump’s inauguration dishonors:

• The Black families he refused to rent to,

• The Black kids he targeted in the Central Park case,

• The Black president he lied about,

• The Black election workers he targeted, and

• The Black Haitian immigrants he lied about.

Me as a baby and my mother circa 1980ish in a grocery story.

My mother did the foreword to my first book “The Equity Mindset”.

I asked her “what does equity mean to you?”

She didn’t stop. And wouldn’t stop until she was finished.

Sometimes the expert we seek is much closer than we think.

Capture the voices, philosophies, genius of our mothers.
