MAGA racists losing sleep over the life of a Black woman while she continues to excel and shatter glass ceilings. Another MAGA racist with the word Christian in their bio. The irony!
Michelle Obama is a man. If not, community note this post with proof.
A reminder that we are all one terminal illness, one ghastly accident, or one traumatic experience away from losing control of the many privileges we enjoy. So, stay humble and empathetic 🙏🏿
The last time someone tried to embarrass me with this racist question, I said - I’m surprised you’re not aware that the colonizers were all over Africa, where they took away our languages and gave us English. Hence, my very good command of English language.
“Such good English, where did you learn to speak so beautifully?” Trump asks the president of Liberia, whose official language is English
Colonialism has not ended. He disrespectfully cuts off the President of Mauritania, telling him to hurry up. Why do these leaders from the continent of Africa continue to subject themselves to this.
President Trump asked 5 African leaders for their minerals as soon as they sat down in the White House. They have oil, gold, iron ore, manganese, etcetera that the US needs. Senegalese President Bassirou Diomaye Faye even dangled a golfing investment in his country
There’s no doubt we need serious reform in Canada — from primary care to pharmacare and more. But let’s be clear: our system is still eons more fair than what’s unfolding in the U.S., where nearly 17 million people could lose health coverage. Grateful to speak with @SenSanders…

Social media can make us feel like we’re so divided. Be careful. My neighbours & I have grown to become family. We share food, we help each other with lawn mowing, snow plowing, you name it. Our kids have grown to love each other. One humanity is possible ❤️
My son started walking at 9 months old. Helppppp! 😂
Access to clean water should be a direct legal right enshrined in Canadian law. Who else agrees? ✋🏿
Several dozen First Nations in Ontario called for the resignation of the province’s environment minister Wednesday after he asked the federal government to not reintroduce a bill that would enshrine clean drinking water rights in law. globalnews.ca/news/11282109/…
Black women are the most educated group in America by degree —associate’s, bachelor’s, and graduate degrees. They earn more degrees per capita than any other group, including white men and white women. More than 60% of all degrees earned by Black students go to Black women. And…
“The standard technique of privatization: defund, make sure things don't work, people get angry, you hand it over to private capital.” — Noam Chomsky
Are you kidding me right now? 🤬

In these pivotal, painful times for so many, it is important that we refuse to adjust to injustice. #CreativeMaladjustment #MLK
In Nigeria 🇳🇬 26-year-old innovator Emeka Nelson despite having no formal engineering education has built a water-powered generator with a 1,000-watt capacity that can run for six hours on just one litre of clean water.
Let’s normalize checking on friends and loved ones who seem to have it all together - those who always appear strong irrespective of life’s challenges.
