Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

administration should just put up a “no niggers” sign and save themselves the trouble of writing out each country
A State Dept. cable says the Trump administration might add up to 36 countries — most in Africa — to a list of 21 countries on which it imposed a full or partial travel ban this month. Citizens can't get visas to the US. Our @nytimes.com story: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/u...

The way progressive White folks keep ignoring that most Black folks lived under authoritarianism HERE from the early 1500s to the 1970s in parts of this country & instead reach to Germany to describe our current situation is deep—

Do y’all not know the Nazis modeled their system on Jim Crow HERE?

Cuts to US science will take a generation to repair — leaders must speak up now
There’s no mystery to innovation and economic growth; the US must nurture its scientists or find out the hard way.

🖋️ The noise ends, I listen, the channel begins. My Residency at ChaShaMa was transformational. For nearly 20 years, the campus has been steeped in creative energy of residents past and present. The quiet, so deep it extracts the mind noise that is the enemy of the artist, was a great allowing.

the things you experience because of other people’s choices have nothing to do with you .

How you move afterward is what is on you . How you choose to deal . How you choose to navigate . The way you treat others is on you .

when you war with yourself you cannot ever have peace .
