I see people saying it's March 1st. My calendar says February 29th.

Here is my #BlackHistoryMonth thread. #BlackSky

#BlackHistoryMonth 🧵

If you saw this thread on Twitter, this will have the same figures with a few new additions.

This is to highlight Black figures across the globe that are lesser known than MLK, Garvey & Mandela, but still important, because #BlackHistoryIsWorldHistory 🌍

UMG responds to the dismissal:

In a statement to Billboard, a spokesman for UMG said: “From the outset, this suit was an affront to all artists and their creative expression and never should have seen the light of day. We’re pleased with the court’s dismissal and look forward to continuing our work successfully promoting Drake’s music and investing in his career.”

An honest-to-god judge actually wrote "'Not Like Us' by Kendrick Lamar dealt the metaphorical killing blow" in a formal legal opinion.

No one has ever lost a beef this badly, and no one ever will.

And, actually?

It's worse because Drake didn't simply "lose" the case.

The case was dismissed.
He never had a chance. 😂

Don't give Drake this much dignity — he never had the balls to sue Kendrick.

He sued UMG 😂

There was a guy who was very obsessed with this back when blogs were big, it’s an odd and seemingly antisemitic thing but yet it persists somehow.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

Turn off your lights! 1.2 BILLION birds are migrating over the East Coast, Tennessee Valley, Ohio Valley, Appalachians and Deep South each night! This is the most I've ever seen.

There are so many birds that we can see them on weather radar – that's why we're seeing so much "clutter"!

Reverend David Black, the senior pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying at the armed agents above him before being shot in the head with a pepper ball at least twice and falling to his knees.

Black said he could hear ICE laughing. trib.al/y6RQqAa

Though Israel and its allies have derided Palestinian resistance groups for holding hostages in Gaza, Israel itself is holding thousands of Palestinian hostages, both dead and alive, in its own prisons.

At least 250 Palestinian bodies have not been returned to their families.

Jonathan Rinderknecht, a white man, was charged with starting the Palisades Fire. But on X, the company's news summary tab shows a photo of a black man.

When A’ja Wilson makes her next basket, she will move into 4th all time in playoff points.

Other all time playoff placement:
5th in rebounds
2nd in blocks
3rd in FGM
4th in FTM

She’s done this in 53 total playoff games at the age of 29. We are really watching a legend.

A Los Angeles jury has ordered Johnson & Johnson to pay $966 million to the family of Mae Moore, who died in 2021 from mesothelioma, a rare cancer linked to asbestos-contaminated talc exposure. This unprecedented agreement marks a significant moment in the intersections of public health and corporate accountability. For Black women, who were selected by J&J as “the right place” to sell more talc baby powder to, specifically targeting “under-developed geographical areas,” this is perhaps an opportunity for financial reciprocity along the path to racial health equity.
The Breakdown You Need To Know:
J&J, a household name with products in millions of homes, began selling its iconic Baby Powder in 1894. However, concerns about the safety of talc, the primary ingredient, surfaced as early as the 1950s. The first lawsuit linking J&J’s talc products to ovarian cancer was filed in 2009, marking the beginning of a lengthy legal battle.
The jury in Moore’s case concluded that asbestos-contaminated talc in J&J’s iconic Baby Powder caused her disease. The landmark verdict includes $16 million in compensatory damages and an unprecedented $950 million in punitive damages aimed at punishing the pharmaceutical giant.

HUGE: A federal judge in Chicago just ruled Kristi Noem's warrantless arrests of people unlikely to flee are ILLEGAL. 💪Worse for her, he ordered ICE to report EVERY Chicago arrest for the last 4 months – compiling a record for criminal charges. 🔥
