Storm, Blue Marvel, Miles Morales Spider-Man, Blade, Luke Cage, Monica Rambeau, and more at a cookout. I needed to see these Black superheroes hanging out, and Sam brought Steve Rogers, lol. Sam Wilson: Captain America Issue 1 is my favorite comic of the week. @gregpak.net @evnarc.bsky.social

South Korea showed today what happens when people with a backbone stand up to a tyrant and do something about it. Strength, unity, and outright defiance of autocracy. Powerful to watch!!!

Religion does NOT belong in our schools! Agreed? ✋
An illustration showing a metaphorical “large high wall” separating “Church” and “State.” On the side labeled “Church,” buildings resembling places of worship are captioned “Religion goes here.” On the side labeled “State,” there are government buildings and a public school labeled “Science goes here.” The top of the image displays the text “BUILD THIS WALL.”

I think about this often. “In 2008, Drake appeared in blackface in a photo shoot for the Canadian fashion label Too Black Guys. The photos, taken by David Leyes, were for a line released that year called Jim Crow Couture.” www.businessinsider.com/drake-blackf...

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever. #books #reading #booksky #poetry
A poem by Langston Hughes titled "Tired". It reads as the following: 

"I am so tired of waiting, 
Aren't you, 
For the world to become good 
And beautiful and kind? 
Let us take a knife 
And cut the world in two -- 
And see what worms are eating 
At the rind."

Strikingly, the only group that responded en mass and IMMEDIATELY to the neo-Nazi march this weekend in Columbus was a group of black men. Everyone else? Oh, they put out statements. Black men linked arms and marched the NEXT day. And this is why I say “Godspeed” to everyone who ain’t us.
