It's hitting me how the slow arc of justice my elders fought and died to set in motion has been halted by the Calais decision. This morning, I was on a call with another (highly accomplished) middle-aged Black women and this is how we processed it together: We are realizing that we (including our younger elder millennial sisters) are likely to be the LAST generation of Black women who will achieve so much. This decision is not just a gutting of the VRA but the highest court's massive rejection of the idea that this country is, indeed, a land of opportunity for everyone. The court is now an overt and explicitly complicit engine of white nationalism. THAT is how much anti-Blackness has been simmering underneath this facade of 'American democracy.' So now, Black folks, we need to decide. Retreat, close ranks to protect our own, and/or fight for a renewed Reconstruction on top of the smoldering ruins of this gotdamn system? #BlackMastodon #BlackFedi #SCOTUS #CivilRights #BlackHistoryEveryDay

"And the fact that miscarriages are more common for Black women isn’t comforting, it’s terrifying. It’s emblematic of larger societal issues — including a lack of adequate medical research — that Black people are disproportionately faced with this devastating situation." https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/black-women-miscarriage-too-common #healthcare #ReproHealth #ReproJustice #pregnancy #miscarriages #BlackMastodon #WomensHealth

And YOUR sorry ass ain't an athlete either! You're just a loudmouth TV host and aspiring presidential candidate. Fuck off and shut up. #blackmastodon https://awfulannouncing.com/racing/stephen-a-smith-golfers-nascar-drivers-not-athletes.html

Turns out many people have been using “Unc” all wrong. “You’d never know the meaning of 'Unc' or its origins in black culture if you looked to mainstream media, and sometimes even independent media,” Gita Jackson writes for @Aftermath@flipboard.com. So, here’s what it means and how slang terms that originate from African American Vernacular English — “chopped,” “clocked it,” “the tea,” “no cap,” and “it’s giving” — sometimes get miscategorized. Plus, a pull quote that might stay with you for a while: “Non-black people want to take everything from us except the weight of our history.” https://flip.it/4ZmjNe #Culture #BlackCulture #InternetCulture #AfricanAmerican #BlackMastodon

Bashy's "How Black Men Lose Their Smile" from the 2024 album "Being Poor Is Expensive" is one of the realest things ever recorded. Phenomenal work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtvr1tBVUZE #BlackMastodon #BlackFedi #music

"The video prominently features the iconic Founders Library, the first site at an HBCU to be named a national treasure, which had yet to be constructed. In addition, most of the people depicted in the audience on The Yard are not Black, which belies the institution’s history as one of the country’s foremost colleges with a predominantly Black student body." https://thedig.howard.edu/all-stories/bts-how-howard-university-helped-elevate-korean-culture-and-how-black-culture-influenced-k-pop #aapi #aanhpi #BlackMastodon #HBCU #music #kpop #BTS #BTSARMY

#BREAKING #News: The #UnitedNations General Assembly has voted to recognize the enslavement of Africans during the transatlantic slave trade as "the gravest crime against humanity", a move advocates hope will pave the way for healing and justice. Note: #UN GA resolutions are not legally binding, though they carry the weight of global opinion. #BlackMastodon #BLM https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg06q36052o

Top Trump housing official issues new criminal referral for NY AG Letitia James. Yet another attack on Black women by Trump. Who only views them as maids and hookers. #blackmastodon https://abc7ny.com/post/top-trump-housing-official-issues-new-criminal-referral-york-ag-letitia-james/18774013/ via ABC7NY App
