“The revolution is about to be televised. You picked the right time. But the wrong guy.” KENNY. The ancestors are pleased.
what’s understood doesn’t need to be explained. 🤷🏾♀️ honestly all of them should find themselves anywhere else that day….a King Commemoration… a Day of Service…a hot dog eating contest…changing tractor belts at Four Seasons Total Landscaping… I don’t believe in treating fascism like it’s normal or acceptable. But I digress. Carry on, Auntie Shelly. Carry on.

i am struck both by the ceasefire agreement finally coming on what would have been Dr. King’s birthday—and by how prescient a reminder his words are. thank you @berniceaking for lending them to us today. the mourning is not over. it is just beginning. the fight for lasting peace and freedom for the oppressed and occupied is not over. it is just beginning. and yet, may this critical milestone be a lasting one. i’m short on words today. all I know: may there be no more stolen souls. no more stolen souls.
Watching you create life has been one of my life’s greatest privileges. I adore you. And I thank God for you. #fujix100v #x100v #beyonce

🗣️WE STILL HAVE TIME IF WE ACT NOW! RFK Jr. only passed committee by ONE vote. Time to pick up that phone again and tell the Senate we don’t want a Health and Human Services Secretary whose views are racist, repressive, and repugnant! The health of ALL our families is on the line! Call frequently, share widely, and show them what DEMOCRACY looks like ✊🏾. #BlockRFKJr

you, @joyannreid, are a seed. and we will be here as you bloom wherever you decide to plant. your voice is too important everyday—and especially these days. We love you. —- When I joined the network as an analyst back in 2020, Joy insisted that her show was my first appearance. She is the kind of leader who insists on making space for the people coming up next to and behind her—to learn, to thrive, to flourish. But even more than seeing people thrive, she is always and forever interested in the TRUTH thriving. She exemplifies the immortal words of sister Ida B. Wells, shining l the light of truth upon wrongs in order to correct them. That can’t ever be cancelled. Her truth is unapologetic and unvarnished—and now more than ever, we must protect voices like hers. To start, make sure you WATCH @thereidout tomorrow, Monday, Feb 24. Show up and show out. From there, follow, amplify, and support her platforms and the platforms of Black women who operate in the tradition of Joy’s brilliance and transparency. #WEGOTJOY #WENEEDJOY #WEHAVEJOY

more resources & ways to donate and support. thank you @genevievejroth 🫶🏾 Repost from @genevievejroth • Friends, this is a lot.

We’ve pulled together resources for those who need them and ways to help if you’re looking to pitch in. Take a look, donate if you can, and share this so others can find what they need. The helpers are already stepping in. Let’s keep it going—share what you can, talk about climate action, and check in on your neighbors. We’re always better together.

Meet The Machetes—a group of friends who keep a never-ending group chat alive, plan vacations that actually happen, and also happen to be some of the most influential people around in media and activism. On the season finale of UNDISTRACTED, @mspackyetti invited her inner circle over, and hit record. Featuring @carichampion, Sunny Hostin, @mslatoshabrown, @joyannreid, and @jemelehill, the Machetes talk nicknames, rehash legendary, tequila-fueled vacations, and spill some family secrets. Most importantly, they figure out how to keep each other supported in sisterhood, staying present, focused, authentically human, and ready to resist. The Machetes got their name for a reason. And if you don’t believe it… come outside! Listen to the season finale of UNDISTRACTED wherever you get your podcasts.
