If we want to understand the conditions that create agencies like ICE, and the people who staff them, we must understand the economic infrastructure that makes such work attractive.

Decentering your personal feelings and patriotic leanings is a necessity to address a systemic issue. This is like ghe myth that racism will die out with a generation. It's not true and pretending it is got us white Millenials with tiki torches shouting white supremacist slogans in Charlottesville

Nobody ever sees the way folks talk to Black women. They only see when we react. And so the people who come at us crazy get to slide on an assumption of civility and reason that we are denied. Even when it is seen, a certain level of hostility is acceptable when directed at us. We peep that.

I can't describe the feeling that went through my body while I watched This Scene the first time. I'll never get tired of seeing it. It will never not amaze me. It will go down as one of the most memorable, mind blowing scenes in cinematic history. The ancestors had a hand in the making of Sinners.

@thewayoftheid.bsky.social have you seen this? I'm not surprised, but this is still a horrible finding.
Today @rlivier.bsky.social @freepress.bsky.social releases new research showing that every major U.S. media and tech company (except one) has eliminated or backpedaled on commitments to diversity, equity and inclusion in the face of Trump administration threats. www.freepress.net/policy-libra...
COMPLICIT: Corporate Media's Capitulation to Trump's Attacks on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
This comprehensive report sheds new light on the ongoing capitulation of major media, tech and telecom companies to the dictates of a bigoted and corrupt administration.

The Jim Crow Economy Is the True Horror in 'Sinners'

Over the last decade, a community health center in Virginia filed more than 7,000 lawsuits for unpaid bills.
It sued one couple for $59 last January, an amount that ballooned more than 600% within months due to interest, court costs and lawyer fees.

My Friday ask is to help my family out, since my sib is part of those increased Black unemployment statistics, and it would be a major boost to help bridge them into the new year
My family is still fundraising to keep a roof over our heads. So many have already helped us so much. Saving us in November, then again this month. We're moving towards stability, but still need help. Thank you for those who have and those who will donate.
