@africanacarr.bsky.social @mrlamontking.bsky.social made my matchable gift on Hurston Wright this morning. “We are the ones we’re waiting for.” We got us. I am committed to preserving Black literature forever.

@karenhunter.bsky.social listening. Yes, the proselytizing is very “off-putting”; it’s all about building a Beloved Community. Thank you, Karen! I love your show. Always learning. Doing. Resisting.

The only “garbage” they’re referencing is themselves—now THAT is immutable.

An issue I don’t believe has been addressed regarding the deep cuts to SNAP, is how many grocery stores in low income areas will go out of business. Mom and pop, family owned markets. For many, almost all of their customers are on food assistance. The Krogers will just close their doors and move on.

@africanacarr.bsky.social may you confirm whether the address is being read by the late great Ossie Davis? Such powerful delivery! Listening.

There have always been politicians who are working for someone other than their constituents. But the GOP today is an entire party dedicated toward enriching itself by serving dark money donors and shadow puppet masters. We’re at a boiling point of quockerwodgers.

Meme featuring a woman in an old-fashioned painting holding a sign with a definition:

"Quockerwodger"
(1860)
A quockerwodger was a type of wooden puppet. In politics, a quockerwodger was a politician acting on the instructions of an influential third party. rather than properly representing their constituents

Like so many elections around the country, today is about organized money vs. organized people.

I believe people will win.

I am hyped for New York City! Lived there. Raised there. #TheyNotLikeUs you see us. NYC deserves something different and better. You are that! Keep your ear to the ground. Do not become like the opps.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

@africanacarr.bsky.social @mrlamontking.bsky.social not “flying too close to the sun, your wings are melting” 🤣🤣 I’m criiine!! Stephen A. Smith wants so desperately to be relevant. Absolutely would never vote for him. Give. Me. A. Break.

Avril Somerville @somerempress.bsky.social · Jun 4

@africanacarr.bsky.social @mrlamontking.bsky.social WTF?! Stephen A. Smith for political office. Hell. NO. Caller who said we need to vote for a person with the mouthpiece (versus credentials) because these are “unconventional political times” needs to tape their mouth shut. Like, really tho?
