This is what Shafiqah (may she RIP) and Raβil were warning us about over a decade ago. This is what started to show up more in 2016 and 2020 as general elections drew nearer. This is what got exposed on Twitter a couple months ago.

A 13-year-old boy is credited with saving the lives of his mother and two younger siblings with an hourslong swim after the family was swept out to sea off the coast of Australia.
Millions of documents are showing multiple well-known public figures associating themselves with him. Trying to minimize the impact of those associations is feeding into maintaining the oligarchy, not dismantling it
Four artistic affirmation cards featuring Black women arranged on the ledge of a keyboard fashioned after a typewriter. Affirmations read, from left to right: 1) There is something in this world that only I can do. That is why I am here. 2) I am here to share my gifts with the world. My voice is important. 3) I release everything in my life that blocks my growth. 4) I belong in any space I walk into. I know my worth.
Scanned through my Queen Loany deck for some much needed encouragement/affirmation today.

On this day in 1948, an all-white jury sentenced a Black woman and two of her teenage sons to death for killing an armed white man in self-defense.
Journalism doesnβt make TL βs easy β¦but social media did
And all of the shock is this cutesy way of admitting that they watched these people be awful at almost uniformly
- Black people
- uncontrollable women
And go βwell yeah they are annoyingβ and then be βshockedβ they get worse
Can we just think about what history could have been if we stopped these creeps at their entry level racism and misogyny?
And we stopped excusing the people around them

I think about this all the time and people always jump on me when I bring up that the ops can see who youβre not getting along with when you fight on social media and actually that matters

Shelter, provision, and justice for the vulnerableβimmigrants, children, the disenfranchised, the incarcerated, targets of gendered violence. That call for action has never changed.
The founders of this nation were deists and atheists, but they borrowed heavily from religious frameworks, bastardized them, and marketed them as natural law. The church permitted it so long as those wealthy coffers remained open.
Eyes to see and ears to hear identify the true moral imperativeβ¦
The verse says that everyone will not have the same level of provision. Itβs articulated in a framework that repeatedly emphasizes aiding people who are disadvantaged.
Is that the same as saying there should be a permanent, oppressed, exploitable underclass? To the oligarch or capitalist, maybe.

Canβt believe today is already February. Tis the season to be Black and active.
This Black History Month (and beyond) : I ask that you please:
- stop posting AI videos from Instagram and TokTik. Yβall know itβs fake. No, you do not need attention that badly.
- stop using AI images
- stop using ChatGPT. Delete it.
And then the cyclical disenfranchisement, and pointing to the outcomes of that disenfranchisement as justification for continuing it.
Finally overhauled most of my Meta accounts. As normal when I try to make it a clean sweep, one deletion always has complications. Itβs my bookstagram account, and I think I will keep it.
