Tariffs, Signal, the nominations, abandoning our allies, disappearing innocent people… none of this is incompetence, it’s on purpose. they are destroying this country on purpose. What is that purpose? Maybe we need to ask Russia. All of this only benefits them.

We (Black Americans) warned you about fascism. This isn’t new to us. Colonialism and racism is just an appendage of fascism. You just didn’t listen because you believed it wouldn’t happen to you since you’re not Black. it’s exactly this belief that got us here. It’s time to decolonize your mind.

So crazy. I fell asleep watching Sen. Cory Booker speaking at his 8th hour. I wake up to him speaking non-stop at his 15th hr. I checked my Apple News Top Stories feed and did not see one top story with his name on it. This is amazing. He’s still on fire.

Senator Cory Booker has been speaking for 8 hours right now and will keep going until he can no longer continue and I can barely find any media coverage of this. Pathetic. Thank you Sen. Booker! #corybooker

Black women have been activists for as long as Black women have existed. Try valuing, trusting, and hearing us sometime. We have met the required 10k hrs + bonus hrs no one wanted to make us experts on the evils of white greed. But I guess you didn’t think they’d come for you. Leopards, faces, etc.

Happy Women’s Day! 😉
Celebrate International Women's Day by interrupting men with your unsolicited opinions and taking credit for their work. If they get upset about it, be sure to tell them that they sound hysterical and should smile more.

I cut these guys out of my life back in Jan. Don’t shop at Target. Let them feel the weight of their decisions and become a lesson for other companies who cave to the orange it.

Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool
is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool.

As we head into tax season I have to really ponder the action of paying taxes that ultimately go into their pump and dump crypto scheme. This is not what our taxes are for and so we shouldn’t have to pay them. Right?
