Brown Sugar is one of the very first albums that made me fall in love with R&B as a kid. I still play Lady like it just came out. This one hurts.

RIP D'Angelo 💔

Y'all ain't getting free until Black people are getting free. Sorry, tough cookies! It's because you hate seeing us free so bad you're in such a pickle.

Please share! Palestinians are having to watch support disappear—evidently conditioned on how visibly bombed they are. This is unacceptable. Our duty continues.

We’re matching 175 for the SIX families & a camp reliant on us for food & shelter.

I would vote without question for anyone with the fucking stones to do this while refusing to 1) throw trans people under the bus and 2) fund Israel's genocide

This is why I think the next Democratic president needs to use the EXACT tools that SCOTUS has handed Trump. Don't leave room for any distinctions.

Impound funds for deportation. Give ICE the USAID treatment. Refuse to collect government-backed debt. Purge MAGA loyalists from the executive branch.

Please share 💛 Step up with every boldness: Our daily goals split seven ways—six families & a displacement camp, most JUST devastatingly displaced from north Gaza. They’ve been in dire need for two years. But you can help.

Every person involved in that Kyren Lacey scandal needs to be prosecuted. When you black in America ppl will believe anything negative that is said about you even if there is no proof.

It's such a fucked up thing to do. I'm so sorry.

Years ago, I interviewed at a huge company - they took me through a full tour, told me about all the perks, while taking PICTURES of me in some of the photo friendly areas. I thought I had it.

They also took their sweet time just to tell me no.

After the interception of Oxygono boat moments ago, there still remains 29 vessels of the Global Sumud Flotilla. We stand with them as they continue their journey to break the siege on Gaza.
