For the first time, mosquitoes have reached Iceland, a clear sign of a planet in rapid flux. As the Arctic warms four times faster than the rest of the world, even the cold's last refuge is no longer mosquito free.

It’s pretty damn validating to hear Barack Obama say the same things we’ve been shouting for months, and longer.

Targeting the jobs of Black women and their increasing unemployment rate supports the “DEI” argument that they didn’t deserve the job in the first place. That is just diabolical to me.

Rising Unemployment Among Black Women Is a Bad Economic Sign

Thinking about the so called "discourse" about #AmericanEagle & #SydneySweeney ad, I figured I'd drop some history about #Denim. Yet another thing CREATED by #Black folks, Made by Black Folks & denigrated until it hit "mainstream".

She ate this so bad, that it caused me to reflect on how I view myself w/o a haircut, because I’m quick to slap a durag/wave cap on when I don’t have a haircut.
Is it shame? Idk. Self hate? Idk.
But what I do know is that this shifted me😭

Sydney Sweeney as “Venus”reminds me of Francois Bernier’s fetishization of African women’s beauty, said to surpass Venus. But their beauty didn’t free them. They were bound by their objectification & dehumanized by white supremacy, just as she is bound now.

So many people are saying they would be fine with being profiled as an undocumented immigrant, being wrongfully detained, and having to prove their citizenship…meanwhile they crashed out for having to wear a mask.

Georgia bans organ donation of someone who died w/o their consent—but Georgia’s 6 week abortion ban is now forcing a brain dead woman to stay alive w/o her consent because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she went brain dead.
Even a corpse in Georgia has more rights over its body than do women & girls

Black people have been explaining this for over 80 years. This is why we have washed our hands after this election. If folks are shocked by that revelation, then it means that they never believed the issues black people still face today and thought folks were "wallowing in victim mentality".

There's strong evidence that women's participation in security efforts makes countries safer.
That's why leaders in over 100 countries have taken action to further it.
One of them—who signed the U.S. Women, Peace & Security Act into law in 2017—was Donald Trump.
