An ICE deportation flight (OAE3710) just departed Baltimore, MD for Accra, Ghana. It originated from Phoenix, AZ, and stopped in El Paso, TX before landing in Baltimore. ICE Flight Monitor is actively monitoring and will update here.

Because they keep getting infected with Covid and mainstream keeps downplaying the risks of post-Covid complications.

Humans are living 20 years longer than they were in 1950, according to new research with all 204 countries and territories studied reporting declines in their mortality rates since then.

FTR, I wasn't doubting the validity of your title and I was asking sincerely. (I often attend a bible study that makes these political connections but of course you don't have to elaborate).

I see "rev" in your name, do you want to elucidate it for the people?

I'd love to read this. You've been teaching today and many people who are not on here would benefit from such a piece.

People enjoy seeing Black people poor , they enjoy lecturing us about it, they love ignoring our observations by pointing to " commitments"

and they love feeling justified when we have appropriate human reactions they can villainize to justify the inequality

Black Unemployment Is Surging Again. This Time Is Different.

Federal layoffs and an end to diversity initiatives have weakened a historically strong labor market for Black workers.

You should be worried. The suspected thief was white and you are presenting some random Black man as a criminal.

Colleague dropped 'Enemy Feminisms' in our group chat weeks ago. I doubt I will read it in full, but this short interview contains so much, I could spend a good amount of time just digging through each point...

"This bifurcation at the moment of feminism’s origin—where one founder wants to keep world institutions, just infused with maternalism, and the other says we must abolish everything for women to be free—is never actually resolved [...]." - @reproutopia.bsky.social

Leaning In to State Violence - Sophie Lewis interviewed by Aya Gruber - Inquest

In ‘Enemy Feminisms,’ philosopher Sophie Lewis engages with the feminism of racists, colonizers, fascists, cops, and jailers to better understand what a truly liberatory politics needs to look like.

Sometimes I wish I’d STFU about shit. But I’d rather be honest than be a liar, no matter what.

Olympia was pretty good. I really liked the cinematography and editing. I mostly liked the acting and writing too. It made me so nostalgic for Chicago/the Chicago arts scene 🥹

I hope that at this stage, we will not continue to be in denial and try to force "normal"

Chantal James @chantalalive.blacksky.app · 1d

People need to stop the thinking that’s like “well when things get back to normal we’ll do this.” Remember how we said that about COVID years ago & we’re still in a pandemic? The United States is not coming back to glory & that shouldn’t be the goal. But WE can try to survive if we get together.

Also in the news report, the child is four years old.

For four years, people have been circulating surveillance images of a Black man carrying a baby in a car seat and joking about him being a criminal...

This c+p story has been floating around since 2021. Sometimes it will say it happened in Beaverton, but not always. I don't know when the photo was added but CNN reported that suspect was "described as a White male with long, dark brown braided hair. He wore a multi-colored face mask."

Reading other people’s arguments online has actually changed my mind about several things tho so please keep arguing.

Mista NoItAll @misstanoitall.blacksky.app · 1d

I observe people on here with obviously diametrically opposed perspectives argue & wonder wtf is the point? Nobody is changing the others' minds. Wasting time that could be used building with like minds to formulate a plan. I guess they just like arguing & attention (of any kind). 😩

I used to learn so much on Twitter, watching people debate/push back. Poetry Twitter used to be really good for that.
