A noteworthy moment when quite a few amazing, Black Women’s Studies scholars are excited about a trailer for a historical film. H/t @jmjafrx #Harriet

Seriously? HE AINT GOT NO DAMN POLICY PAGE. This is so deeply disrespectful to Elizabeth “I Got A Plan” Warren. And we already know her being a “policy wonk” makes her less appealing to many. White male privilege working overtime.

Calling anyone in this race a “policy wonk” who’s name is not Elizabeth Warren is...I don’t have the words for it (and Mayor Pete does not have the range)

It’s really okay to say “that’s not my area and here are suggestions of folks who do work in that area.” Trust, it’s better this way.

Everyday I hear about yet ANOTHER Black woman being disqualified from the Olympics. It’s a perfect storm of anti-Blackness, misogynoir, cisnormativity, and white supremacy.

In completely predictable white liberal feminist BS, both of these artists (whose music i adore) took a moment about violence against Blk women and girls and made it about THEM. They ALL LIVES MATTERED a brief moment in which Black girls and women were centered. UGH!

This is a reminder of women sticking together— and not letting a man take ownership of a great song/ moment... And if anything the message of this song remains that although you may have had my body, you will never have my heart, my voice my life or my mind.

My dad would always asks for hats, t-shirts, or sweatshirts from schools that invited me to speak. He repped extra hard for any school that ever hired me. He always told folks how lucky those schools were to have his baby girl working there. #MissingYou #DaddysGirl

4.5 million people have died as a result of COVID- in less than two years. That’s approximately 6900 people- loved ones dying every day for nearly two years. 652 days since the 1st case, 4.5 million lives. Grief doesn’t begin to describe what I feel.

As a former ballerina, I can’t tell you how thrilled I am. Also, it took 200 years for folx point shoemakers to include Black and Brown dancers in their figuration of what a ballerina looks like. We been here, painting&spraying our ways into fullness.

Channeling the words of @prisonculture , “Hope is a discipline.” In moments where it feels too relentless and so deeply unjust and unfair, I remember these words.

Seeing young BW prioritizing their health and well being makes my heart smile. It’s dope that she thought of her teammates too, BUT I’m most impressed with Simone’s self-awareness and willingness to move from that and not the expectations of others. Salute to G.O.A.T.!

Simone Biles pulled out of the women’s gymnastics team final earlier. "I just felt like it would be a little bit better to take a backseat, work on my mindfulness and I knew that the girls would do an absolutely great job and I didn't want to risk the team a medal," she said

Can’t help but circle back to Dr. King’s clear-eyed and full-throated words on white moderates. He pinpointed a preference for the “absence of tension” over “presence of justice.”

To ignore the deeply racist and misogynistic history of hypersexualization of Asian women in this “explication” from law enforcement of what emboldened this killer is also a willful erasure.

Just a reminder: Pride originated as an anti-policing movement and is anchored in the tremendous work & bravery of LGBTQ folx of color. At the intersection of homophobia, transphobia, white supremacy, misogyny, ableism, and capitalism, WE RAGE! Happy Pride Month. ✊🏿 #Pride

Another take: a few too many establishment Dems didn’t run good campaigns. There are receipts. Lackluster digital presence is but one of many. Also, the rush to assign blame to more progressive voters WHO LITERALLY GOT BIDEN/HARRIS elected is truly shiftless BS. 🙄
