Southern trees bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees

Pastoral scene of the gallant south
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
Scent of magnolias...

Im watching on NBC. Solid show, all performances have been excellent. Outfits on point-loving Reba's look. 🌲
Who's watching the Rockefeller Center tree lighting? I've never seen the tree lit. Saw it behind scaffolding, though. :(

When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

Breaking: The US lost 32,000 jobs in November, far worse than expected.

Small businesses were the hardest hit.

Y’all gone call me a cereal killer if I tell y’all that there have been times when I drive and don’t listen to anything at all?

Wow. Just, wow.

Even for a blatant racist, this is especially blatantly racist.
credit to NYT for not sanewashing the appalling bigotry we saw today in the WH

"Even for Mr. Trump — who has a long history of insulting Black people, particularly those from African countries — his outburst was shocking in its unapologetic bigotry."

Cursed Daughters by Oyinkan Braithwaite is probably the best book I read this year, but I did read other great ones. It's been a great time to escape in a book. #booksky #blackbooksky

Cursed Daughters by Oyinkan Braithwaite. I read some really good books this year. I'll share others later.
What's the best book you read this year?
December 3, 2025 at 12:33 AM
This is awful. Really awful. Will mainstream media cover it at all?

Affordability is a fake word, apparently 🤦🏽‍♀️
Trump: "There's this fake narrative that the Democrats talk about -- 'affordability.' They just say the word. It doesn't mean anything to anybody. They just say it. 'Affordability.' I inherited the worst inflation in history ... the word 'affordability' is a con job by the Democrats"

I'm glad that reporters circled back and followed up with the inquiry about that MRI.

🤢 burnt-orange, triple-chinned,slop-eating, dead ferret- wearing POS
📌This week alone, Trump, who is rotting from the inside out right in front of our eyes, has called female reporters, “Piggy, stupid, horrible and ugly.”
This burnt-orange, triple-chinned, slop-eating, mess of a man, who tapes a dead ferret to his head each morning, is mocking other people’s looks.
