  1. #TaliaTeneyuque 's crime?

    She used her food assistance to buy baking supplies, and sold baked goods online to help support her family.

    That's right, folx, apparently now the #usjusticesystem puts single mothers in jail for..gasp..holding bake sales if they're on assistance.

    She faces up to 10 years in jail. For selling baking. Yet, a felon is allowed to be president.

  2. "For instance, after self-proclaimed white supremacist Dylann Roof killed nine Black churchgoers in a Charleston church, police officers were caught allowing him to purchase Burger King. It's as if they were congratulating him for a job well done."

  4. 20 years after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, a slate of new documentaries take a look at how things are today. @IndieWire reviews the films, including Spike Lee's "God Takes Care of Fools and Babies,” which is part of a three-part Netflix series, Traci A. Curry and Ryan Coogler's "Race Against Time," and Peacock's "Hope in High Water." "'Race Against Time' really starts cooking when it tackles the racial bias evident in the disaster response and the way it was covered," writes Ben Travers. "One neighbor talks about how a nursing home full of stranded residents was ignored until they replaced the Black people on the roof, crying for help, with white people."

  9. Three municipalities in Florida have voted against renaming streets after Charlie Kirk, @LGBTQNation reports. This was after residents showed up at public meetings to object, citing Kirk's racist remarks, lack of ties to their communities, and that those who disagreed with his views should not have to live on a street that bears his name. "I want you to know that as you try and deify Charlie Kirk, you are also deifying White supremacy,” Jennifer Griffin, a resident of Clearwater, told its city council members after reading out some of his racist remarks.

  10. Both expelled members of ‘Tennessee Three’ win back their state House seats - to paraphrase Napoleon, if you’re going to march on Vienna, you’d better take Vienna. Or, if you’re going to attack two popular politicians, you’d better take them out. So in some delicious irony, the racist #Republicans in the #Tennessee legislature that ‘expelled’ these two duly elected legislators have ended up making them much more popular and powerful. How perfect is that? #racism #RacismInAmerica #politics #TennesseeLegislature #Fail apnews.com/article/1ae19a1bd5f

  11. 5/31/1921 was one of this country's most horrifying episodes of racist mob violence. Hundreds of Black residents were killed in the #TulsaRaceMassacre. Survivors lost their livelihoods as a white mob set fire to 35 blocks of the #Greenwood District (aka #BlackWallStreet). 1,256 homes were destroyed. In recent years, historians & descendants of survivors have worked hard to revive memories of this all but forgotten chapter.

  12. These Republican efforts to stop children from learning about black history, and the history and consequences of race dynamics in America are an attempt at historical revisionism, and the protection of fragile, white egos. It's really not a surprise that most of these efforts are happening in states that make up the former Confederacy, and by mostly conservative white men who would undoubtedly identify with the Confederacy if it was 1861.

  13. Last night I watched "Who We Are: A Chronicle of Racism in America." Some history I've learned from other sources, much I didn't know, and so powerful--a reminder of just how much official history leaves out. Proud to work at a public agency where this is in our learning center and we'll be discussing it in a management meeting today. Should be required viewing everywhere. thewhoweareproject.org/ #racism #RacismInAmerica #history #WhiteSupremacy
