“.. The layoffs — occurring just three days before President Donald Trump’s rally on Saturday at a nearby high school — were large enough to basically erase an entire year of job growth in the greater Dayton, Ohio, area.” @apnews.com apnews.com/article/trum...

There is simply no reason why ANYONE who isn’t a white supremacist to invoke the term “woke.” To do so now validates its racist misappropriation and keeps its misuse in circulation.

This is why ahistorical conversations about gentrification are jarring Because gentrification is the capitalistic response to red lining

Four Black women. Nine degrees. Not one steady paycheck.
The president promised to save “Black jobs,” but his policies have resulted in fresh pain for the Black middle class as the employment gap widens.

I am not going to repost the vile and racist image that Trump posted last night of President & First Lady Obama because it is beyond disgusting. Trump is a vile racist as is every Republican that continues to support him. I don’t want to hear mumbling from Mike Johnson or stoic silence from Thune.

This is why we had Jim Crow instead of truth and reconciliation after slavery ended. People are so quick to absolve anyone who pays lip service to changing their mind about human rights violations instead of letting them live with the social consequences of their words

MLK Jr. said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people." Remember this.

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

“From the 1950s to the 1970s, federal contractors building the system deliberately mapped routes that rammed through and dismantled Black neighborhoods — payback, some say, for gains made during the Civil Rights Movement.”

This is what @RepTimBurchett @MarshaBlackburn & Trump refuse to even discuss, as even Marge points out. It’s not that we can’t afford Medicare for All, it’s that we can’t afford not to do it. How much longer are y’all gonna let this go on?

This afternoon in TIME MAGAZINE, @mariannecooper.bsky.social and I discuss why 300,000 Black women leaving the workforce is bad for the economy, bad for society, and bad for you. In the piece, we argue that Black women are the canaries in the coalmine and why ignoring #TheDoubleTax harms us all.
