My favorite Eartha Kitt moment will always be that time she cursed out 1st lady Ladybird Johnson and made her cry.
She was blackballed and exiled from the country after that.
what's most striking is that everything she's saying, is happening again.
She would've been 99 today

The "ICE is using military tactics suited for a warzone, not for American streets" rhetoric kinda misses the point that warzones are not naturally occuring. The US military creates war zones from residential neighborhoods and the tactics are not more justifiable just because it's overseas

Ain’t nuthin luxurious about menstruating - especially if you live with PMDD and/or endometriosis

Bushra Mahnoor remembers the shame she felt when she had her period as a teen and did not have the supplies she needed. Today she leads a campaign to lower prices for pads in Pakistan.

You know what's spooky? 12% of the population losing food access.
If you're in a state where your rep is holding food access hostage, bother the hell out of them and boo them VERY loudly.

The first and last decent CEO of a social media app was Tom from MySpace. Buddy made himself everyone’s friend, stfu, and stayed out the way. Everyone since has been the worst.

Most of you are familiar with Newark mayor Ras Baraka....particularly after his arrest earlier this year trying to enter an ICE facility.
But do you know his father?
Lemme tell you about Leroi Jones 🧵

No accountability for the MOVE bombing in Philly was one of the stepping stones for what’s happening in DC, Chicago, LA, Memphis right now.

What’s bothering me is how fast folks will forget who somebody really was just because they called themselves a Christian. Charlie Kirk spent his life being racist, sexist, and downright harmful. But the minute people hear he “claimed Christ,” it’s like all that gets wiped away.

Sorry for bringing back a twitter meme.
Remember when X-Men killed off the one character who can't die, but a decade later Edi Gathegi is Mr Terrific in Superman and is one of the coolest characters in the movie

It saddens me to hear a black woman say she will not be watching Ryan Coogler’s movie Sinners because it’s not Christian, it’s demonic, it’s steeped in voodoo

I just said to a friend that if Musk were a Black man dragging a bunch of Black teenage hackers into all of these federal agencies, the laws would suddenly become crystal clear. No one would be saying "Well maybe he should have access to Ft. Knox and the IRS"
