What happened to "we jumped that nigga cause he catcalled a teenage girl", "we saw him following a woman and we rolled up on him", "i saw a dude bucking up at a woman at a function & i yelled back at his ass"

These men dont have social consequences. Legal or social, thats why they keep at it

We need to start harming more men. I am not joking. The fear of women is too low and we have a huge capacity.

I also need you "not all men" "protect Black women" mfers to start BEATING MEN THAT POSE A THREAT TO US!

Violence is an answer. Liberation comes thru shifting furniture

An hour and 11-minute long mix of nothing but D'Angelo live tracks from various shows during the Brown Sugar and Voodoo eras. It's so well done. Also downloadable.

John Roberts has been trying to kill the Voting Rights Act since he served in the Reagan administration in the 80s. He gutted Sections 4 & 5 in 2013. This term, he'll gut section 2.

it will be his crowning achievement. bsky.app/profile/rewi...

1/ John Roberts killed the Voting Rights Act in 2013 because he thought racism was over. Adorable.

Now, we’re knee-deep in voter suppression, racial gerrymandering, and resegregation, @angryblacklady.bsky.social writes.

Hell of a legacy, Johnny. rewirenewsgroup.com/2025/03/10/a...

I know y’all mean well, but think about the signaling when you talk about Black folks and then say “instead they get … ordinary people.”

instead they get grandmas, and priests, and inflatable frogs, and ordinary decent people rising up and saying "this is vile, this is unamerican, these are secret police"

in many ways, the inverse image of the civil rights movement: they are trying to generate a particular kind of reaction in order to advance their own agenda through imagery

The Civil Rights Movement is worth studying not just because they were right, but because they won.

they have been trying to do meme authoritarianism, and that means generating the right kinds of content--the forces of Order vs the forces of Chaos, riots and violence and burning shit and ""antifa supersoldiers""

the kind of imagery to justify the kind of powers they aspire to

one of the reasons they're so mad at "no kings" is that they thought they were going to get a different kind of protest. they *want* the black bloc to be out there fighting with the cops. those are the images they've been trying to generate from "go." instead--

MAGA Rage at “No Kings” Boils Over—and It Quickly Backfires on Trump

As Trump allies smear the coming protests, a good writer on MAGA skewers the absurdity of these attacks on large swaths of Americans—and explains why our best recourse will be to turn out in force.

D'Angelo is the reason why I know half of the internet people I do. Folks flooded to the #okayplayer boards after THAT video and rest was history.
May he rest.

He deserved to grow old. He deserved the space to be more creative and share more art w/ the world. He deserved to be adorned in praise while he was still able to receive it in the physical. Luckily, music and spirit is eternal.

RIP Michael Eugene Archer aka D'ANGELO. 🕊️

I'm grateful I saw him perform.

I'm grateful I was at the right age to experience his genius and engage his music.

There had to be so much more in store.... I just... sigh.

In the next week or so, the government employees that have been furloughed, will come upon bill paying time, and may not be back to work yet.

Call up anyone that is owed, and set up a plan. They know what’s happening & they have protocol. Don’t just let debt shred you because the country is a mess
