WHEN WE FREE THE WORLD is a powerful documentary film about manhood in the U.S., thru the lens of 70 Black male voices across 5 generations, from teens to 90-somethings. It explores manhood, fatherhood, history, education, violence in all forms, healing, hip-hop, mental health, and hope. #BlackSky

“The trivialization of women exists as an ongoing, malevolent belittling: whatever is consistently and without opposition declared to be irrelevant – like so much that women experience– loses its language; perhaps it may echo for a while within a person, but it creates no response.”

~ D. Soelle
Middle school through college meant negotiating a minefield of male teachers regularly “making passes” - more than I could count on two hands

When sexual harassment was simply called “going to work”

how stupid is it the “glass ceiling” probably just turned out to be “donors want dudes they can blackmail, not competent people who are good at their jobs”

When the median homebuyer is nearing retirement, you don’t have a housing market. You have a crisis.
The median age of all U.S. homebuyers is now 59 years old.

Just 15 years ago, it was 39 years old.

Trump and team are “waging a coordinated disinformation campaign to seize illegitimate control by eroding progress and rewriting history.”

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

Great idea.
Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.

Under-the-weather TikTokers are slicing raw potatoes and placing them in their — and their children’s — socks before bed. The theory is that the potato draws out toxins.

However, experts warn against relying on folk remedies over medical care.
