We are sleepwalking into unprecedented catastrophe. At 70%, we WILL experience famines. Meanwhile, U.S. billionaires are buying up our farmland.

NOBODY IS TELLING YOU HOW FUCKED THE FARMERS ARE IN AMERICA RIGHT NOW. The Agriculture Secretary just confirmed it publicly. 1 in 4 American farmers has NO fertilizer secured for spring planting. No fertilizer. No crops. No food. Farm bankruptcies are up 46% in 2025. 160,000 farms closed since 2017. Less than half of all farmers will even turn a profit this year. They're not struggling. They're being wiped out. And the media is busy covering everything else. The real story behind this hasn't been told yet.. follow me because i'm about to tell it 🚨

In 2016, 5,712 Native women and girls were reported missing in a single year. Only 116 of those cases were entered into federal databases. Behind every number that was never counted is a name that deserves to be spoken.

WE ARE UNDER-REACTING‼️ If you needed any more proof that the Voting Rights Act is still necessary, just look at what’s happening right now: red states rushing to wipe out Black representation the second SCOTUS gutted it. What went down this week is going to have devastating consequences. Here’s the uncomfortable truth: a lot of white Americans are not having the conversations they need to be having with each other. In Black communities, these conversations are constant. They are not optional. They are passed down. They’re how we survive. If you want to help, start by listening to Black voices on this issue and amplifying them. And especially if you’re white, use your voice too. Join us. Call it what it is: racism. 🧵

Georgia lemme holla at you real quick. I early voted in the primary this week. But over a MILLION Black people in Ga. don’t vote at all. Look at how close the last two governors races were and look how many Black people could’ve helped in those elections. Being Black not voting and not registering to vote is NOT an option. We’re giving elections away in Ga. Not anymore.

Calvin Duncan, a man imprisoned for 30 years before he was exonerated, won an election in New Orleans promising to fix a judicial system that failed him Now, Louisiana Gov.

Meet the Black Women Responsible for Launching Artemis II dlvr.it/TRzBcx

This is a rare photo of 1800s people smiling. Back then it was customary for white people not to smile because they might only get one taken in their life. But they were Native Americans—a Ponca man named Monsheeda and his wife Mehunga and we can see they really loved each other!

#OTD 2021, Daunte Wright, a young father and cherished member of his community, was tragically killed by police at a traffic stop. Today, we remember his life, honor his legacy, and stand with his family in the ongoing fight for justice.

Courtney “CW” & Nicole Mallery say they have endured harassment and racism — and have even discovered their animals dead on their property — since moving to Colorado and opening their farm During Easter weekend, shots were fired at their ranch, they say capitalbnews.org/black-colorado…

What the Artemis II astronauts did over the last 10 days was a testament to their bravery. And the fact that they traveled farther from Earth than anyone ever has, re-entered our atmosphere at more than 24,000 mph, and splashed down safely was a testament to human ingenuity. Thanks to everyone at @NASA for making this mission possible, and for taking us along for the ride.
