When rap3, racism & misogyny isn't a deal breaker it says a lot about your character.

I hate that our sisters have to describe their trauma for people to understand that abuse comes in so many forms & it builds in intensity like a storm. Believe Black Women.

The message to victims is clear in the Diddy verdict: no amount of proof is enough.

A video showing him dragging her and beating her as she tried to escape. Tapes of him assaulting her. None of it was enough

And yet, I am so proud of Cassie. She dealt a death blow he will never fully recover from

Now do you see what's wrong with the criminal "justice" system? Why survivors ever rarely come forward? Let this be your reason. But some of y'all will still find ways to justify the harms your fave committed.

Go spend your energy on supporting survivors rather than making a mockery out of us.

BREAKING: A federal court ruled there's no legitimate basis for Mahmoud Khalil's continued detention, and that it's unconstitutional for the Trump administration to use vague foreign policy grounds to deport people.

This is a win for free speech. We won't stop fighting until Mahmoud is released.

So grateful for community and this event for Indo-Fijians. Felt so reconnected to my roots and to be able to honour my ancestors in a space like this where intergenerational trauma continues to exist bc of displacement & colonial violence post-slavery through the Indentured Labour System.

Top Israeli officials have stated numerous times their intent to commit genocide in Gaza, but the US and other world powers have failed to hold Israel accountable.

The US must stop arming Israel with Americans’ tax dollars and put sanctions on Israel immediately.
Israel now admits its genocidal aims in Gaza. Will the world keep looking away?
Since Trump's return, Israel has dropped all pretenses of self-defense. But even as it evades accountability, it has cemented its legacy as a global pariah.

people in canada - pay attention to what's unfolding here, and not just w/Trump. Poilievre is promising to criminalize protest, deportations for pro-Palestine activism, withhold $ from universities, deny existence of trans people, implement three strikes laws & huge privatization. fight fascism here
