When people ask me, as a Black woman, how I keep going...how WE keep fighting...this is how. We know that the generations that came before us fought HARD to survive. We can do no less. #QOTD

my cat likes to watch Mob Wives. It’s an older TV show. Most of them are smokers and can have husky voices. She learned to change her softer meow voice to a deep loud meow to mimic them.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.
