lol I got distracted:

WICKED is a metaphor for how some white women will literally treat Black women like shit until our lived experience is convenient to exploit.

IN THIS DISSERTATION, I WILL- #blacksky #wicked

In my first press conference, standing alongside @pressley.house.gov @ayannapressley.bsky.social, I shared that "Black women are at the center of the Venn diagram that is our society." And that there is a cost to ignoring what happens to us.

Thank you ABC news for featuring my voice. #blacksky

A point of clarity: Women are experiencing job declines in professional and business services, federal workforce, and manufacturing.

Without disaggregated data, we don't really know if Black women are bearing the brunt of that, but one can guess.

I hate to come back to this, but I have yet to find any other economic analysis corroborate that 300,000 more Black women have left the labor force in the last month.

Right now the numbers we got go through September. We don't have October or November numbers yet.
Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

This isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. And it's not a recovery, it's a redistribution of opportunity.

The UK is about 3-5 years behind the U.S. if it doesn't get its act together.
NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."

BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

New piece:

Trump’s Fury at BBC Gets Unnerving Results with Pro-MAGA Edit Stunner
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

🗣️ Black women. Black Families. Black FUTURES.

PROUD to have joined @pressley.house.gov @ayannapressley.bsky.social and tens of Black women today in Boston to discuss Black women's rising unemployment and what we can do about it.

Thank you @aaronsojourner.org for helping me prep! #blacksky

TLDR: Taylor Swift's silence in the facing of this administration's use of her music is LOUD (and predictable if you've been paying attention).
Taylor Swift is a Coward
