Y'all called it "black fatigue" tho??
Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

Absolutely not...
And now they're talking about releasing VIDEOS 😳⁉️

I love how leftists still don't know how literal voter suppression tactics work, then actively do it. And get surprised when they actually suppress the vote.
It's kind of like they do it on purpose.

Don't let seeking the perfect be the enemy of being the good.
This made me ugly cry 😭
I will never claim that he was perfect…every president in my lifetime has pissed me off for one reason or another.
But…dammit, I’m so tired of the constant feeling of uneasiness and uncertainty 😔

Unfortunately, the US will be "cool" for as long as capitalism and capistalistic ambition exists.
The slave economy birthed the greatest economic superpower in the world and simultaneously, the Black american slaves who were victim to it made the most dynamic culture through resisting + rebelling.

Anti-Blackness is one of the world’s biggest grievances, as a result of colonialism/transatlantic slave trade. Too many ppl are so naturally ready to erase the contributions/presence of Blackness without a second thought. The propaganda worked so well that people actually believe we’ve done nothing.

Yup. Dissolving bodies in acid. Standard stuff. #Epstein
Epstein bought 330 gallons of sulphuric acid within days of the FBI opening its probe into him, new docs show.
Receipts and internal emails indicate that six 55-gallon drums were delivered to Little St. James on June 12, 2018. He was obviously tipped off. And he was obviously destroying evidence.

Today, Leontyne Price, legendary opera soprano - cousin of Dionne Warwick, Cissy Houston, and Whitney Houston - turns 98 years old.
Also, Roberta Flack, the first significant Black woman artist after Aretha Franklin, with three #1 singles, turns 88.
Both of them still very much alive. Happy BHM

Today, February 7, 2026, is officially the 100th anniversary of Negro History Week and the 50th anniversary of Black History Month.
Carter G Woodson purposely started Negro History Week on February 7th so that it would end on February 14th, which is Frederick Douglass's birthday

I'mma be real this is exactly why I'm having a real hard time getting into the Bad Bunny Superbowl hype.
I still haven't watched it & I'm dragging my feet. Something in me just doesn't feel connected to it bc it's not meant for me.
Growing up in the DMV the antiblackness from minorities is real.

Its insane how much vitriol is held towards Black americans
Like its one sided anger from all ethnic groups towards us and its unnatural
Black america needs to stay out of ice business and the blue square business and the white/poc women demanding sisterhood
Lets everyone recieve what they give
