Give yourself grace as you settle into 2025. So many systems are threatening your existence and beating you down, but you don’t have add to that pressure.
You’re more than a resolution, role, or career. You’re a human that doesn’t flip on and off like a switch. Honor that.

A White nurse recently got caught breaking the bones of Black infants simply because they were Black. Don't ever ask Black people, "why does everything have to be about race." Ask White people that question.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Currently, only 1 out of the 7 affected families have been identified as being black. The rest of the families wish to stay anonymous.
There is currently no evidence from the court/law enforcement that supports this was race based, or "because they were black" as claimed.

writing about this so won’t get too deep into it here but i find the increasing prevalence of this argument fascinating. replace black w/ jewish here & you quite literally have the foundational justification for zionism. i don’t think people understand what we’re witnessing

I don't understand what else you guys want Black Americans to do atp. Their identity is tied to the land their ancestors arrived on in the 1600s. They've been there a long time and shaped the culture. Do you want them to be some stateless, cultureless people stuck in the past?

This whole thing has helped me understanding better why folks don't understand consent, what it means to opt into an agreement and that some folks don't mind giving their autonomy over to others and I mean that so gently

People are gonna have to come to accept that being Black American means our roots & culture stem from our ancestors literal blood, sweat, & tears on this land. It’s not patriotism, it’s veneration.
But that comes with complicated, contradicting nuances y’all refuse to discuss.👇🏾

I won’t have enough tea to sip nor popcorn to eat over the next 4 years! I’ve done countless interviews explaining that we need immigrants and that they contribute to our economy! Businesses blow us up about needing workers.
And what do ya know?! MAGA got played & is mad at who?! The same 2 guys that they were just yelling was looking out for them last week as the government was on the verge of a shutdown!
Please post the best threads of the drama between Vivek, Elon, & Mad MAGA 👇🏾.

The arrest of a frustrated middle class mom is a real shot across the bow from the ruling class.

Cancelling $4T in taxes for 815 billionaires but not $1.7T in student debt for 40M Americans is the modern version of let them eat cake.

Wow. I think Biden’s commuting the sentence of this disgraced Pa judge is a big mistake. I covered this in my Pa media days. He was one of 2 judges receiving $$ to sentence kids to lengthy sentences in a for-profit juvenile prison.
He ruined a lot of kids’ lives. Good summary here from the local paper on how horrific this was.

Confused CNN: “Why are tons of people offering to pay Luigi’s legal costs”
Mangione’s Attorney: “Idk.. but Supreme Court says billionaires can give tons of money to candidates and that’s free speech. maybe these people are exercising their free speech”

Biden can’t even commute sentences without supporting mass incarceration.

"These aren't real revolutionaries, they're just bored rich kids."
I've got some bad news about who likes to start revolutions
