Until this nation deals with child trafficking facilitated by foster care/adoption agencies, child trading forums, and trafficking through other govt agencies, it will never end. Epstein was 1 channel.

Gabrielle Union recently spoke about how 71,000 Black girls were missing in 2021. A crisis.

They didn’t stop being rapists just because Epstein “died” they’ve got new channels to get young girls I’m sure and it’s still happening and nobody is doing anything

This hoodoo heritage month, honor our ancestors by remembering how strategic, patient, brave, and intelligent they were/are. They survived 500 years of genocidal terror. Your intuiton is fine tuned to survival, if you know how to listen.

1/? On her instagram, this creator had the unmitigated gall to accuse a Black woman of being "scared" to come outside. We aren't being "scared". We are being smart. See my analysis of the movie "Sinners". Remember the Asian woman, Grace?Yeah, she got everyone killed.

You have never been outside and it shows.

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that all these data centers are going into communities that have been historically targeted for exploitation and have the least amount of civic power wielded by the people living there.

Why Are Plans for This Alabama Data Center So Hush-Hush?

Officials in Bessemer, Alabama, are mum on Project Marvel, a proposed data center the size of 18 Walmart Supercenters.

hey now!

People have forgotten how to read the text for the text, how to engage the text in a really boring, brass-tacks way. Let us come back to the page. Let us humble ourselves and see with naïve eyes the thing for the thing. And let’s leave our really gorgeous in-depth reading that we’ve been trained so elegantly to do by English departments and our various institutions, and let us encounter it with our own human eyeballs. What’s happening at a literal level? I think there’s still a lot to be gained and a lot to be learned from a literal interpretation. This is true also of painting.

Nazis has picnics outside of concentration camps. White Americans made lynching a fun family activity and handed out souvenirs. When depravity is whitewashed, it is repeated.

Can you imagine sitting and doing paperwork right next to several rooms full of innocent people you're knowingly, intently abusing. Smiling up at a coworker chatting. The banality of it just. Horrifying.

This hoodoo heritage month, I'm reflecting on all the ways my ancestors have protected and guided me, even when I didn't know I was being shielded. The spiritual equivalent of getting snatched up like a toddler, if you will 😂😂

When I saw that Nvidia "invested" $100B in OpenAI so that OpenAI could use that money to buy more chips from Nvidia, I knew that this AI bubble would make the 2008 subprime mortgage bubble look like child's play in comparison.

“When you get a suspicious book, “you look it up to see what else the [author] has written. And you see there's 30 things, and none of them have any reviews, and they were all written in the last two years,” DeMeester-Lane says.”

How Local Librarians Keep AI Slop Off the Shelves

AI is being used to create nonsensical, sometimes dangerously inaccurate books. Local librarians are tasked with keeping these volumes out of their collections.

Ask a white person to abandon all they gained through a white supremacist slave economy and return to their home continent, and the hypocrisy spills out. They want comfort, not freedom for all. This land is indigenous land, and a blood debt has not been settled.

This! White peoples only collective commitment is to whiteness itself (and thus, the systems, beliefs, and practices that uphold whiteness and white supremacy). They claim to be anti-"x" until you remind them that this is a settler state, and for true mass liberation, they must return to Europe.

Jay Perk @johnathanperk.bsky.social · 2d

White America is completely ill-equipped to combat Project 2025.

The primary problem is white people’s lack of collectively and culture.

As a 1/2-white Black lawyer and professional antiracist, the lack of collective thought and action is palpable.

There’s no plan, organization, nor strategy.

Weird thing where people say “no one could have predicted it” when really what they mean is their political commitments and orientation were such that they ignored everyone who was predicting it

Sorry but “no one could have“ and you having your head stuck up your ass are two different situations

I love Tubi lesbian movies. This woman is remodeling an old house, which her friends think is haunted. She hires and interior designer to help her fix the home, and they fall in love. The interior designer is likely a ghost. I'm so locked in.
