Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."
Hope to have this out tomorrow evening. Save what you can while the internet is still free.
Sorry yall, it's taking me longer than I thought.
This dump is:
- 40+ Civil Rights reading & video materials (+free access where possible)
- Black orgs to purchase from or rally with + DEI committed companies
In the meantime: download the swede's survival guide rib.msb.se/filer/pdf/30...
did yall know that other countries are protesting for us rn
That was predatory as fuck. I'm glad you made it into your car and outta there. Sending you love, sis.
I agree with your sentiment. The feasibility of just me aggregating that kind of local info & effectively disseminating it to the necessary consumer base is low. This resource dump is going to build off another fleet I made. It will have video + reading materials + organizations to rally around.
"It's not company Boycotts. It's company Buy-cotts." - to quote a good sister.
What an amazing example of positive action. Lets stop focusing *so much* on who we won't do xyz with. We need more lists of ALLIES to support and do business with.
If I have time tomorrow, I'll do a resource dump/thread
πππ u got us there
In my experience, the sarcasm is well earned and y'all have the best, straight to the point advice
π. I appreciate you finding common ground with my thoughts.
Feeling a lot of pressure to perform, so I'm just gonna leave to my Mandarin app until my notifications calm down ππ.
I'm not a revolutionary, I'm just a black woman in America who believes in community building and resource sharing.
Absolutely. Jesus and his unconditional love for his neighbors and righteous anger at mistreatment is what contextualized justice for the Rev Dr. It's important to his story. Plus, he earned all of his honorifics, and they are rarely properly attributed.
Thank you for sharing the same love I do π.
@thatgirlsshe.bsky.social thank you for mentioning REV Dr. MLK. Too many times that gets censored out. Serving Jesus was his life.
This Is For

He ignored what was at that time the greatest public health crisis since the Spanish Flu because "God was judging the Gays" in his own words and effectively facilitated the crack epidemic. Gary Webb wrote a whole as newspaper series on this so I'm not explaining it
Thanks to Reaganomics, The average annual income increased by 75% though the decade, but the MEDIAN income only grew by 10%, and inflation for the first time grew at a faster rate than that income. meaning Reagan accelerated income disparity ending the period of shared wealth increase following WWII
He also starting taxing SS benefits, increased the payroll tax rate, and made self employers pay full payroll tax.
As a result he, DOUBLED the national deficit as a result of the tax cuts and out Cold Warring the Soviets
Absolutely agree on the issues of deletion and manipulation. Apologies if I came off combative, btw. My only push was just for people to start getting exposure to the material in any way they can/want to. But I def agree that true learning should be in tandem with reading. π«ΆπΎ
Thatβs how got all those rappers to support him. He got them out of jail.
community means showing up. having an understanding that when itβs time to move as one and be the support each other needs, youβre prepared and willing to do so.
I remember in HS being floored that poor whites in the North were against the war b/c they were afraid that freed slaves would take their jobs.
Nothing has changed. Ppl still worry about themselves first regardless of other's realities.
They weren't against racism. That's the real issue. The union wasn't moralistic, they were fighting against secessation. So many felt empathetic or that the union was being "too hard" on the south.
Also evidenced by the slave owners getting reparations instead of the slaves.

brother go to work today and do the exact gesture he did and see what hr says yeah?
The Black Power Mixtape is an amazing watch to catch up!
Whats wrong with videos/audio? These leaders sat for hundreds of interviews &,orated speeches for our benefit. Why toss that away?
Genuinely - videos r great contextual introductions to political thought. Their legacies r more expansive than any book. I believe people will read once they learn.
