Disillusioned with the Democratic Party, Kwame Ture started all Black political organizations. We’re back to Black power. It’s fitting that we’re seeing the anniversary of the Black Panther party.

The U.S. is opposed to Black progress. Fearing that Black people would prove white superiority a lie. Each time attacking Black middle & working class and our institutions. This administration has been hard at work like the post reconstruction administrations. And the rest of the county is silent

8 states have now banned the sale of lab grown meat. What about the others? What disclosures are required? What ingredients are safe? What ongoing testing is required?

Holy shit FOUR members of the ethics committee in Denmark that gave the green light to allow the widely-condemned RFK Jr-funded trial to proceed in Guinea-Bissau have now resigned in protest This quote is 🔥 Great reporting by @melodyschreiber.com www.theguardian.com/society/2026...
Stig Børsen Hansen, a founding member who was one of two reviewers who presented the study to the Danish committee, resigned from the group in protest on Friday, citing major ethical issues with the study.

“You are now enrolling newborns in a lottery to test a hypothesis,” Hansen said. The children who are randomly selected not to receive the birth dose of the vaccine, those who “lost the lottery”, face in their earliest days the risk of contracting hepatitis B, which can cause irreversible lifelong damage. “They contract hepatitis B in the context of being part of a research project,” Hansen said, which made their infection happen, in effect, “by design”.

Three other members of the committee have also resigned in protest.

I’ve seen Black people across social media platforms talking about picnics at lynchings and so many white people are in our mentions insisting that the last public execution was 1936 and that lynchings were “mob murder” not state sanctioned. So confidently loud and incredibly wrong.

The GOP has been able to convince Republican voters that the war in Iran was necessary because Democrats haven’t and won’t make a case against it and continued support of Israel’s war actions. I can’t believe this is the party I’m supposed to support.

With this monopolized media empire comes not just size but unprecedented power. The power to throw workers under the bus. The power to price-gouge because consumers have few alternatives. The power to decide which stories get told, but more importantly, which stories DON'T get told.

If you don’t prosecute corruption and root it out, it only continues. Think of the countries around the world where the society is failed by corrupt officials, and the one thing they have in common is a lax accountability and anti corruption measures. People seem to be amoral and need deterrents
