More women DIE giving birth in America than in any other developed country. And no one wants to talk about why. America spends $111 BILLION a year to deliver babies, yet thousands of mothers leave hospitals with trauma they can’t explain. Lying on your back? It makes labor longer, more painful, and more dangerous. How about Pitocin? The truth is frightening. Here’s what no one is telling you about childbirth—and what every expectant parent needs to know. 🧵 THREAD

Lobbying is a mechanism for capitalism to defend itself against democracy.

Right, want to boost employment for American citizens, get rid of all employment related taxes at the federal level.

I think we should have business-friendly taxes. Lower employee taxes.

Ironic watching legacy admissions folk who got where they are because of their daddy talk shit about DEI

This Foundational Black American Sista is speaking facts! We shouldn’t have to pay for records of our enslaved family members—it’s a form of ancestral enslavement

This argument is so unnecessary. Please realize that race and nationality have nothing to do with this debate. It’s a class debate…they’re using race as a smokescreen.

I do not support privatizing the United States Postal Service. The USPS provides a good public benefit & it keeps American Citizens employed. There is no benefit to the American People to let some millionaire or billionaire take control of it and skyrocket the prices.

Idiots like this have said the same thing since the 1950’s. Don’t argue with them. It’s a trap.

For five years, I have been covering what is unquestionably the biggest criminal justice scandal in American history. Today it ended when the most corrupt cop in history took his life. But it's not over. A thread.

VC is not a great asset class if your goal is only IRR and not economic development because 1) most VCs suck 2) it’s too easy to beat VC returns in the public markets right now with immediate liquidity. All these mediocre VCs are ruining it for everyone.

Caught up with 3 high net worth individual investors last week who typically invest directly into startups and also into VC funds. All come from founder backgrounds. All mentioned that they are now only focused on classic Private Equity opportunities. Wow - what is happening?

The answer is mismanagement and lack of effective leadership at the national level. Members competent enough to pull these initiatives off tend to not want to deal with the political bullshit involved in getting things done through these overly bureaucratic, legacy orgs

To my Black Greek Divine 9 organizations I have a couple of questions: Why doesn’t any Divine 9 organization own a hospital? Why doesn’t any Divine 9 organization own any charter schools? Why doesn’t any Divine 9 organization own any major media news outlet? Why are there only 2 credit unions when there are 9 different organizations? The Divine 9 are considered the most educated and connected people in the black community but yall do not have majority ownership in a single industry. That’s a problem.
