She Profiled a Black Business Owner at AutoZone?!

QueenNefe👑🫶🏽 @queennefe.bsky.social · Aug 1

I was supposed to get a promotion this month.
Instead, I got laid off — thanks to Trump’s new tariffs wrecking the company I worked with.

The Department of Homeland Security just posted “American Progress” like it was a feel-good painting. Except it shows Indigenous people fleeing white expansion like they’re being hunted—because they were. This ain’t art. It’s an open declaration.

Issue 4: No, the Village Wasn’t Always Safe

Issue 3: Where Are the Men?

Let’s talk. Not drag. Not bash. But talk. Because if the village is going to survive, we need men to show up. Not just in theory. In action. In love. In accountability.
