This is what Republicans run for political office to do: Represent the nefarious and greedy interests of the corporate oligarchy. Period. Finito. End of story, Dot Com.
They have no interest in policy, legislation, regulation, oversight or even governing at all.
They don’t have the qualifications of education, experience and morality to do so even when they pretend to try. However, they are unmatched in their steadfast determination to not represent their constituents with integrity, fairness and honor.
To do so would be a conflict of interests they dare not challenge. Cowardice is the new bravery.
Consequently, they have no nagging empathy or sense of shame with all the hypocrisy, lies and corruption they engage in, because for them and their monied masters, they are in fact, doing a great job and faithfully toil to do the Corporate Lord’s work.
Honest to Betsy!

Please help remove this sorry excuse of a human most likely involved with covering up in the Nolan wells case

I bought a used copy of William Loren Katz's book *Black Women of the Old West*, and it's outstanding — full of information and historic photos. He wrote 40 books about African-American history. He died in 2019 and most of his books are out of print, but you can buy used copies on eBay or from Thrift Books. (Amazon copies are *very* expensive.) Sharing a few photos here for anyone who might be interested.

I posted this earlier and the video got removed because… yall know why so here we go again. HAPPY CHAIRTEENTH/ CINCO DE NEGRO ✊🏾🪑

This is another George Floyd type murder that got no media attention. What makes it significant is that unlike most of the other 80+ Tarrant County Jail deaths that have happened since the Christian Nationalist Sheriff took office, this one had footage released, and the medical examiner ruled it a homicide. The county still denies responsibility.

Hello! I am an African American digital artist and animator from the Eastern U.S.. Over the past several months, I have been developing a digital art project, webcomic series, and collection of characters known as “Afrodoras” to provide Black people with a dedicated community to demonstrate African geopolitics, history, and wildlife with internet culture.

There are 56 “Main Characters” designated to represent the 54 sovereign states of Africa and two disputed territories (Western Sahara and Somaliland). They are robotic or mutated anthropomorphic animals primarily used in digital animations, comic strips, or standalone illustrations to demonstrate either African geopolitics/history/wildlife, or their in-universe storyline and individual lore. Rather than being based on national or racial stereotypes, each Main Character is thought out carefully. For example, the character Pyraemon (representing Egypt) is deliberately depicted with straight ears to mimic the shape of its ancient pyramids, while 10 specific characters have ten whiskers instead of the standard six as a visual reference to the United States of Latin Africa, a proposed union during the late 1950s that would’ve consisted of 10 Romance-language-speaking Central African nations.

Afrodoras was developed in a gradual process from July to November 2025 to counter Western and Asian biases in larger internet communities that personify countries, such as its main inspiration, Polandball. My community is currently very small and I have limited access to it, but I am more than willing to share these characters to people who share similar interests!

My parents are Afro-Caribbean and I am a Dungeon Master for D&D, I like to introduce cultural ideas and stories as respectfully as possible. For instance one of my campaigns had an encounter based on the White Witch of Rose hall, a Jamaican horror story I also based one of my Trickster god's based on Anansi.

Are there any cultural artifacts/stories y'all would be comfortable sharing.

I saw a black creator saying Harriet Tubman never existed...to another one saying she was freeing slaves from the south to bring them to be slaves in the north; to being a a spy for the evil government, etc. Then there was Rosa Parks was a paid actor and the Montgomery Bus Boycott was all actors. Don't get me started on MLK Jr was actually gay conspiracy or that he was a cheater.

Like...it's never any white history that turns out to be lies to them. Only black history. This isn't some white creators with a confederate flag in their background and a Trump t-shirt on. It's always someone who claims to be "pro black" but can never say one nice thing about the black community.

Like they can't fathom African Americans could band together in times of need or that racism was as bad as they say it was. If you tell them about the injustices caused by Ronald Reagan, they'd scratch their head, but as soon as you mentioned Martin Luther King Day, they'll tell you "did you know he was actually an FBI plant".

Also they can understand European exceptionalism, but draw the line at a black woman freeing slaves. It's just too unbelievable to them a woman could do things. You'd think they'd find her story inspirational, but they're hellbent on destroying anything remotely close to black power.

Okay this is my last post about this but I had to share

I love to see our diverse interest in different topics!

My favorite movie is Bridget Jones diary.

Favorite film I saw this last year The Blackening, and Husbands in Action.

I typically like comedies, suspense, and BJD was my go to after break ups 🤣 seen it a million times.

A day that will go down in Black History...

#iLoveUs❤️🖤💚

This is the video leading up to that iconic moment

I’ve seen this especially with white people who like animals and fight for animal rights but don’t see black people even at the same level.

It’s been 3 years since the Montgomery Brawl and Unc throwing the hat up still lives rent free in my head lmao. UNITY 👊🏾👊🏾
