Framed. Innocent. Lost 50 years. Still under house arrest. Giving thanks for the little things.

"No one ever thought this would happen" is dishonest and journalists not pointing that out are doing you all a disservice. Many people said word for word this would happen. You just didn't respect those people. And you need to be honest instead of the feigned surprise for sympathy.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

What is happening in LA is unimaginable. 💔 Moving forward let's please listen to Indigenous voices well versed in preventing catastrophic fire.

This is the way of Turtle Island. Mother Nature will do what she has to do every time. It's our responsibility to take care of her.

Giving thanks for the guidance and collective power of Legba, Yemaya, Oshun, Kawo, Olokun today after 14+ hours of ritual for an abused sister. Women heal. We are sovereign. May we all be safe in our body.

Now we rest, fortify and prepare for what comes next 🙏🏾🍉🌊🐝⚡

Kendrick saying “if this world were mine I’d take your enemies in front of God” is my idea of romance.

Heartbroken with gratitude. Feeling so lucky to have lived in the world the same time as you.

What is most important to me going into 2025 is simply what I continue to do

Center women

People still aren’t speaking about abortion as a mass incarceration issue. Nobody is talking about the looming threat of Title IX being eliminated. Who is working to give women money to divorce their abusers?

Black men who were abused by women, can claim capitalist, Marxist, hotep, proBlack or pan African can be abusers of Black women and often are, bc they can. They need to find power and control where they can bc they didn't have it when they were abused. 🫤 They were permanently stunted.

Commentary: Any discussion about indigenous rights must go hand-in-hand with a reckoning over the British Empire’s impact on First Nation communities.
Shadow of the British Empire hangs over New Zealand's treaty debate
The controversy over one of the nation’s founding documents touches a raw nerve. The agreement has two versions, one in English and the other in Maori.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.

They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.

The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.
Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.

Wish more people realised that for most art businesses, there's only one person doing all the work. Creating, shipping, admin, promotion, starting feuds with other artists, painting unflattering portraits of them into historical scenes, trying to poison them, it's all one person.
