The US interstate highway system was designed to destroy thriving Black neighborhoods in the name of “urban renewal.”

Black people know that once you lose rights, they are very hard to get back. See, Black people know about Reconstruction, post-Reconstruction and the approximately 100 years it took to get rights back that were supposedly ensured by the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments. Dark times are ahead.
1/? What "leftists" are going to learn through all of this "burn it all down" foolishness that they have engaged in for the last 9 years is once you lose rights, they are very hard to get back. We are going on 3 years without Roe. There is no quick fix to get it back.

There are 21 million Black people in the US.

Fewer than 6% of us earn over $100K a year.

The median net worth of Black households fluctuates between about $20K and $40K, depending on how much scamming happens that year (eg crypto, asset forfeiture).

Dana Carvey crushed Elon Musk on SNL a couple months ago with an impression mocking him perfectly. Elon loathes the skit, so be sure to steal, screen record & share.

At the end of the day, Snoop Dogg and the rest are capitalists. He's performing at Trump's inauguration for the bag. That's what you must know and understand. That motivates most folks in this country. The color green trumps all others.

That being said, we can keep the receipts.

As ever, the loss of something good and useful for Americans is framed as a loss for Democrats — in the mass media, everything becomes just a political football to be kicked back and forth instead of examined for its impact on everyday citizens regardless of political party.

As a resident of West LA it's important to take a moment on Christmas Eve to remember those we lost in the 1988 Nakatomi terrorist attack.

people who have never experienced open racism — or open bigotry of any sort — do not appreciate the way it can be psychologically destabilizing. and on the main, it actually isn’t healthy to be so resilient and thick-skinned that you don’t react to slurs and dehumanization

Black Twitter helped define the internet — so where will the exodus from X lead?
Some X users say they’re hoping to create a new “Black Twitter” on other social media platforms.

fascism is stopped when enough people say one of two things:
1) "nah, I'm not doing that"
2) "nah, you're not doing that"

a lot of people want to imagine how they'll say the second thing, but you should *really* start practicing the first one
