lol fun fact: I played a munchkin in my second grade play's rendition of Wizard of Oz because I lost the bid for Glinda:

Guess who's happy about that now knowing the tea? #wicked

Them monkeys should have taken the white lady to wherever Crazy Rich Asians mama went. Because how does aiding and abetting a murder get you the title "Glinda the good"?

GOOD WHERE? LMAO YOU'RE A CRIMINAL! The rebrand is CRAZY. #WICKED #blacksky

lol nah because the white lady running the place and holding folks accountable like she didn't grift her way to the top pissed me OFFFFFFFF.

YOU LITERALLY DON'T DESERVE THIS. SHE FAILED UP. #wicked

A point of clarity: Women are experiencing job declines in professional and business services, federal workforce, and manufacturing.

Without disaggregated data, we don't really know if Black women are bearing the brunt of that, but one can guess.

🗣️ Black women. Black Families. Black FUTURES.

PROUD to have joined @pressley.house.gov @ayannapressley.bsky.social and tens of Black women today in Boston to discuss Black women's rising unemployment and what we can do about it.

Thank you @aaronsojourner.org for helping me prep! #blacksky

Digging into the data of what's taking place with Black women unemployment and this graph is pretty damning.

You can see the EXACT month Black women's unemployment begins to splinter and that what hit us FIRST is now coming for all other women. This is #TheDoubleTax.
