Taking people's livelihoods away seems to be a theme these days.
Keep calling
Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.
What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

What I’ve observed amongst some of the children of my friends is that if you are not intentional in preventing your child from buying into anti-Blackness they’ll succumb to it.
Exactly this
And, to some extent, we are all raised with anti-blackness that we have to unlearn.

There’s also being raised to be anti-black so that rejection is just the excuse needed to justify selling out.

That's a 9h flight from Paris today. How long was it back then????
I gotta learn what Brazzaville had to them but I also have to get on the road. This car won't drive itself.

Feeling a way that I didn't fully appreciate that when the Nazi's occupied France in WW2, the Free France capital was in Africa. Brazzaville, Republic of Congo.

Danish social workers are still pressuring Greenlandic women to get abortions, they did this before FKU was banned on Inuit, and they're continuing today. They're desperate to stop Inuit from existing in Danish society.

There are gods who came with us across the water in whose force we operate as the best of ourselves—and there were gods born on the boat—and there were gods born right here. The African American reconstruction of English, a principle as powerful as English itself, belongs to the final category.

Like do y’all get that? We had to make ourselves a people out of diverse linguistic, cultural and social traditions, surely with many tensions among and between them—so of necessity, what else could we have done but developed a unique facility with the communicative arts? How else would it happen?
