Police who do not take the complaints of women seriously need to be charged as accessories to murder. Tired of seeing stories where women "do what they're supposed to do," only for police to do nothing, resulting in injury or death for the woman.
Same people saying this will be the main ones complaining about "no black psychologists," "no black historians."
We can all agree that the cost of college is ridiculous and that everyone, regardless of education should have a living wage. But making fun of fields is played out
Atlanta police officer Anthony Anderson has been arrested for sexually assaulting a 16-year-old. Reports say he met the teen by responding to her car crash.
The assault happened after his shift later that day.
Divest from celebrity. People are actually mobilizing for Chappelle, but not for other causes that directly impact their conditions daily. It is sick. That is why there is no "cancel culture." Cut the crap already

I think what I am concerned with is how they are equating Beyonce to the people who lost their jobs speaking out against Palestine by saying "well, you supporting them?"
Really disturbing to see people ask why Takeoff is shooting dice when the broader issue is easy access to guns, ego, and people who don’t respect the weight of what it means to shoot which is reinforced by this culture because guns = masculinity
To be even more nuanced, Black American culture shifts by region. I’m a Midwestern Chicago nigga. What I look like speaking on New Orleans black culture?
Same for Black American culture. Y’all visitors too, so not too much on y’alls opinions either. You ain’t from round here, your people ain’t from here, you ain’t rooted here. That may make a lot of y’all mad and uncomfortable, but that’s something you gotta sit with.
Again, Jonathan Majors is not innocent. There is something seriously wrong with him. CAA dropped him for his behavior toward them. Stop thinking this is the case of the white media taking a black man down. You’re fueling that “great man” bullshit hype he believes.
For example, seeing Barack Obama quote King was annoying given how Obama did not work for the radical change he ran on. He bragged about killing people abroad, bragged about saving Wall St., and believed Gates was responsible for being brutalized. He has no right to quote MLK
At this point, the U.S. needs more than a vaccine as a mitigation factor for uncontrolled spread. Mandatory work from home and school at home is needed again, in addition to ensuring schools and offices have proper ventilation.
Loneliness is a part of the human experience that we need to stop fear mongering people with. There are people with friends and spouses who are occasionally and chronically lonely. So what is your brilliant proposal for them?
Rent for a 3-bed, 2-bath in Palo Alto, California can run up to $8,000/month.
14 residents living in one 3-bedroom house are paying $800 a month as they share amenities and sleep in pods
Let me remind everyone...the first CARES Act was the largest transfer of wealth in U.S. history. The only people that first bill helped was the rich. You can argue about the eviction moratorium, but it didn't cancel the rent payments of people who lost their jobs.
This article also said the following:
"It’s unclear from the paper whether marijuana directly causes heart attacks and strokes or whether people who are already at risk are more likely to use it."
So why report the association at all?
Using marijuana as little as once per month is associated with a higher likelihood of heart attack and stroke, according to a large study by researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital.
Twitter makes relationships sound like a game of who could get the most out of someone without giving anything. I think a lot of people on this app need to sit out of dating in general.

I just saw. Remus is usually last and niche. Harold’s IMO is hit/miss and it depends on which one. Sharks is the most consistent, but too much lemon pepper. His feedback on Soul Prime Chicago was real. I agree.
TW: Bill Cosby admitted to drugging women under oath in the depositions. The deal he struck with that prosecutor that got him free, not the fact he is innocent. I refuse to defend a rapist and a man who clowned black people for white profit. Fuck Bill Cosby. Eternally.
Wall St. Journal just reported that Biden wants to pass a law against "domestic terrorism," increasing funding to combat them and create an oversight committee. Our ability to protest the police is effectively dead because again...both parties like this shit.
I know what the law says; police can't be charged as accessories in this instance. But this is beyond irritating. We tell women to come forward and seek the authorities, but the authorities do not investigate and do not take their concerns seriously.
What does another black woman being on top of that institution collectively do? I’m being serious here. Shouldn’t we be divesting from these institutions given their history and how they don’t serve us/liberation?
The banning ski mask conversation definitely has me looking at black people in my age group like y'all are the opps and most of you need to go move to those white communities you think are so safe by default.
And this is after the police were more funded at the expense of other critical city services. And this is after the National Guard was just there. Clear proof that more police don’t stop shit but other departments from being funded
Black gentrification and fire emojis should not be in the same sentence. If this move displaces the current residents, then he's no better than a white developer. We have to stop thinking just because a black person does it, it is good for black people
There are people with mental health disorders who aren't complete assholes. Blaming Kanye's horrible opinions on his mental health disorder is an insult to every person who has a mental health disorder and doesn't have horrible opinions like this.
The convo about the black woman who was assaulted by Chad Wheeler was awful. Too much sharing the pics of her injuries. Too much "well why aren't black women outraged about this" points. Too little respect for the victim. Not enough convo on racism/submission fueling the attack.
Our tax dollars also pay for wrongful death lawsuits by the police, their contract, their pensions, etc. You complaining about a fucking cop car and not how much we lose settling brutality lawsuits? Son fuck you.
Each cop car that’s set on fire costs at least 100k. Guess what pays for those?
Our tax dollars.
Guess what’s going to be raised to pay for more?
Our taxes.
You guys are really showing them! 👍🏽
Retail theft and shrinkage are not real problems that would force a location to close.
"Shoplifting" is not why there's no Trader Joe's in your area. Walgreens didn't get "pushed out". They already lock up razors and shampoo! Diapers too!
THEY ARE LYING. LYING TO YOU.
I believe we need to view misogyny more seriously as a literal gateway to violence and susceptibility to being radicalized into fascism. While I agree that the focus on traditionalism, capitalism, and blind nationalism are important, misogyny needs to be right there also.
Tyler Perry used his celebrity to avoid labor law in Atlanta and discourage unionization. So why is it difficult to believe he did what he did to Mo’Nique?
Now “deadbeat parent” has an aesthetic when there are deadbeat parents across economic lines? The mental gymnastics some are doing to say to women “take accountability” is wild as fuck.
I can’t even begin with how disturbing this is. This is all because they feel that they are entitled to sex at the cheapest price. And they’re “scared” of women gaining higher standards if that’s the deal? Wild
People ask me about black folk buying up properties to prevent gentrification...let me give you an example. Chicago started a program where people could buy $1 lots. I wanted to purchase, but found out that only current landowners could participate.
The symbolism in him doing this...King Louis XVI was the last king of France before the French Revolution where he and Marie Antoinette were casualties via the guillotine.
This is a bar.
Lol @ people being Baldwin stans but ignoring how he spoke out against the same incrementalism they're shoving down our throats right now. Some people don't read about the people they call heroes.
I'm not shocked Jon stared down the zombie dragon. Shit if I'm Jon, I'm gambling with my life too. Jon was supposed to have been dead. That nigga playing with house money.
So let me get this straight: police brutality, neo-Nazis who were called "fine people," a President who is most certainly corrupt, ICE's existence and various other actual issues didn't shake public trust and heighten racial tensions; but Jussie Smollet did?
Y'all smoking dick.
Tell me more about how the Dems are preserving Democracy and saving us from fascism when...at the local level, they are enacting it.
Masks bans have been shown to be ineffective in reducing crime
In addition, this is the only news site that has covered this story. While Click2Houston by most fact checking sites is considered “center,” that doesn’t mean biases do not exist.
The woman who wrote this article also has potential biases in that she defended Darius Jackson and follows HoodHealer, who most of us know is deeply problematic. My feelings on Roda in general are unclear.
The past two days have shown me that too many of you are okay with black people (particularly black boys and men) being surveilled intensely because you're anti-black. It has also shown me that none of you have learned from 94, the 2010s, or read. Embarrassing.
An elderly Palestinian woman, who had gone viral for saying that she was “older than Israel” in a video circulating online, was killed by an Israeli sniper.
I don't have much on this Jay-Z shit except for the fact that it shouldn't take you until your late 40s to figure out you have the capacity to harm people.
Will this modern civics course also include the role of lobbyists and relationships politicians have with wealthy donors? Because if not…what is the point?
We need to bring back civics classes. Every so often I’m reminded that people do not know the difference between the three branches of government and the powers of their local government. It’s alarming and leads to ridiculous conversations quite often.
Sad how black male legacy is being viewed as more important than accountability. If these men cared about their legacies, they wouldn't have been shit humans.
While I think vaccination is important as a long term solution to stop the spread of COVID, I also think that government at all levels has done a poor job at stopping the spread of COVID and handling these surges.
I will never forget how people on this app and on Facebook told me I was being misogynistic by pointing out that Lori Lightfoot was a corporate shill who used her identity to avoid accountability
