200 years of enslavement. Civil War. 100 years of Jim Crow. Civil Rights. Black America fought the war for our fundamental God given right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and we won. Now, the supremacists want a rematch. They forgot who the fuck they are dealing with. #TOTALDEFIANCE

Unfortunately, I believe too large. A number of americans are willing to tolerate this. End, I do not believe americans are going to retreat from where we are or put down this orientation

"voters were wrong to believe Trump. It is day 270 of his presidency, and inflation continues to climb. Grocery prices are at record highs. Workers’ wallets are getting hammered, and we are only at the dawn of the Trump economy."

Yup
The Trump Economy Is Here, and It’s So Much Worse Than Biden’s
Jobs are stagnating, prices are skyrocketing, and many states are already in recession. But the president and his investor-class cronies don’t care.

There was a time when lynch culture prevailed in America
20,000 people watched a Black man hang in Owensboro 90 years ago. A new book looks at why
A new book from a Kentucky native details the last public hanging in the United States, which took place in Owensboro 1936, and examines it through the lens of lynch culture in America.

Trump’s regime is hunting Brown people in the streets and they will kill them and most of the majority culture doesn't and isn’t going to care enough to do anyrhing about it.

I want the leadership of the 15 or so largest, most influential Black organizations to have a summit and start figuring out a collective strategy. They have a lot of collective resources, they are not working together and there is no unifying strategy. That is something that needs to change

I agree on GP, because the only reason to buck your whole party is clout chasing with the MAGA supremacists. Nobody should be cooperating with these fascists. He can't give an argument that makes any sense. Get rid of him

The GOP has imposed MASSIVE tax increases on every American without even hint of issue. Majority doesnt care about higher taxes as long as they think tax dollars are being used to keep Black and brown people in check and contained politically, economically, and socially, here and abroad.

Target pissed off a huge segment of their customer base (Black consumers), and they don't give a fuck. Supremacy thinking is like being high on meth, except its not a physical addiction, its a choice that people will make, even though it flies in the face of their own wellbeing

Even Black consumers who were boycotting and gone back are buying less. So as long as they don't wanna deal with the shit, we keeping that same energy. Don't nobody gotta shop at Target. They have habituated us to shop elsewhere. Good job, you fucking morons. #BoycottTarget #Let-It-Fall-to-Zero

Their commercial solution to the very negative economic consequences of their intentional decision to embrace supremacy is another supremacist decision, to eschew their non white customers altogether and lean into growing a bigger base of white consumers. But the shit ain't working.

Their lack of recognition of issue is that odd sort of supremacist logic blindness. They won't SAY its the issue, but its obvious. But they are trying to shift their stores from urban markets to more rural areas, building in warehouse infrastructure, in clear effort to sell to more white people.

Target effectively made decision to strongly encourage a large segment of its consumer base (Black folk) to break their habit of shopping at their store. The shit worked like fucking gangbusters. Black consumers broke their Target shopping habit. Target seems incapable of even recognizing this fact

Target stock is down 36% since their Jan. 24th fuck you to Black America, a $23B loss of corporate value. Their loud declaration that equity, diversity and inclusion of Black people was something they didn't give a shit about simply allowed Black consumers to discover alternatives to shopping there

Today, September 25th, Target is $87 a share. That's a 36.5% drop. Target shareholders have lost roughly $23 billion in market value

Target is doing nothing to repair its relationship with Black consumers.

I'm keeping that same energy. So should we all.

Let it fall to zero. #KeepBoycottingTarget

Target stock 1/24/25 was $137 a share. Then Target made common cause with Trump administration, proudly declared they were renouncing diversity, equity and inclusion, & effectively told Black consumers to fuck off.

Aliens: Earth has one super annoying thing. They effed up the creature design. The xenomorphs look like guys in a suit. On top of that they are shooting them from bad angles that don't obscure that. the creature looks like a guy in a suit, not a creature. It is catastrophically annoying #Aliens
