Imagine in 2025, after all the times Black women warned literally everyone about everything that’s happening right now, announcing that Black women commentators are just very paranoid
When we have been right???????? This whole time????? About pretty much everything????????????!

We shouldn't need a Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, but here we are. Still underpaid. Still undervalued.
66 cents on the dollar means we lose thousands every year, for doing the same job.
Over a lifetime? That’s hundreds of thousands gone.
Pay Black women. Period.

"In these harrowing days of calculated overwhelm, our job is to resist consent manufacturing and calls to craven acquiescence. To think critically about language, hold media coverage accountable. To protest." - Kaveh is such a beautiful writer.

Black organizers warned about this over a decade ago. We warned of a slow march toward a fascist dictatorship. In the past five months, we've experienced overt attacks on queer and trans people, abductions of migrants and US citizens by masked agents, and now an attack on Iran.
No words for this.

Watch out for people organizing performative permit protest parades & not mutual aid, organizing, divestment, & direct action. They wanna show up one Saturday, wave a sign, then go back to silently being consumers & producers for the system.
Unbelievably, they still don't get where we are rn.

First Native hospital, built by nation’s first Native doctor, to again care for Nebraskans
The ask was simple. Will you donate $132 to honor your fellow physician, Dr. Susan La Flesche Picotte?

The targeted attack on Minnesota state lawmakers, Sen. John Hoffman and Rep. Melissa Hortman, is absolutely horrific.
Violence like this has no place in a democracy.
I’m praying for their healing, their families, and every public servant who has to wonder if doing their job makes them a target.

RFK Jr now going after ALL vaccines.
He argues that the Covid vaccine (which he’s restricted) was the only one that had proper safety testing.
He says they “dysregulate the immune system”.
Get your boosters. He’s setting the stage for “natural immunity” where only “the strong survive”

Hospitals shutting down care in preemptive compliance with the Trump administration is cowardice.
All this will do is move care to individual providers where trans youth will not have access to large interdisciplinary teams.
It won’t stop care, but it will hurt patients.

The countries largest gender clinic with 3000 patients is complying in advance and shutting down. They treat up to age 25 so trans adults will lose access as well.

I’m not even the biggest fan of Bluesky as a platform, but it’s interesting how a propaganda campaign against it is ramping up.
This leads me to believe that people are organizing and connecting on here in a way capitalists can’t control.
That’s why they paid 44 billion to destroy Twitter
