David Fizdale on LeBron’s work ethic during his Miami Heat days: “I’d get to the office at 6 am. A guy rides in on a 10 speed with black tights and helmet with glasses. I’m like ‘who is this guy in our garage?’ He takes off the helmet, it’s Bron. He rolled into work on a bike and got his conditioning in. He rode miles into work, full sweat at 6 am. I’d meet him on the court and do a full other hour. Then we practice. Then he lifts. Then does all this stuff to prepare his body. By the time he leaves, his kids are getting out of school.” (via @TheHerd, h/t @HeatCulture13)

Hantavirus in the US without a proper CDC

there’s a reason our ancestors risked their lives and were murdered bc of reading + the elite are doing everything to make sure our kids are illiterate. our ancestors understood that liberation/organizing and literacy/education were synonymous.

Samuel Alito quoting FAKE DATA in his ruling that gutted the Voting Rights Act should be GROUNDS FOR DISMISSING THE DECISION AND FOR HIS IMMEDIATE REMOVAL.

RIP #JordanNeely you would’ve loved the #MichaelMovie  💔🕊️ #BlackLivesMatter

simple thoughtfulness like this can never happen where i’m from

That's colonialism for you

The nation that arranged the poisoning of Toussaint Louverture of St Domingue ( Haïti) for demanding the end of slavery and the liberation of his people in 1803; that assassinated Ruben Um Nyobe, the Cameroonian independence leader hunted down and killed in 1958 by French forces before independence was even formally granted, that had Felix Moumie of Cameroon, poisoned in Geneva by his intelligence in 1960, that orchestrated the assassination of Sylvanus Olympio of Togo by soldiers of his colonial army in 1963, that armed and protected the man who murdered Thomas Sankara in 1987 and sheltered him for decades, that supported the destabilisation that led to the overthrow and death of Modibo Keita of Mali, that printed millions of fake currency to destroy the Guinean Franc after 8 failed assassination attempts at Sekou Toure because he stood his grounds and demanded independence, that stood behind the forces that removed and destroyed Patrice Lumumba, coordinating with Belgium and the CIA to ensure Congo’s most visionary independence leader did not survive his own government, that massacred at least 100,000 Malagasy people, 250,000 Cameroonians, 1.2 million Algerians between 1955 and 1962 simply because they demanded their independence. The president of that nation, less than half a century after committing such atrocities stood before a room full of African heads of state in 2026 and declared itself the true Pan-Africanist. And not one of them stood up.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Not one said: you cannot use that word: not here, not with that history on this continent. Not a single one had the dignity to say what any person with an elementary knowledge of what Pan-Africanism means and what France has done to those who practiced it would have said immediately and without hesitation. It is the equivalent of a Nazi leader standing before a Jewish assembly and announcing that Germany is the true defender of the Jewish people. There are words that carry such historical mass that no political convenience, no diplomatic ambition, no funding arrangement justifies allowing them to be stolen and worn by those who spent generations trying to destroy what those words represent; Pan-Africanism is one of those words. And it was surrendered in that room without a fight, by men who were supposed to be there representing us. France is not even a formidable power anymore. It cannot impose its will on its own European neighbourhood. Its economy is strained, its global influence is null, its African military presence has been expelled. It intimidates no one who has chosen not to be intimidated. And yet these boneless, prideless, senseless humans we call Africa leaders sat and applauded this humiliation ritual. What breaks me is knowing that every generation, without fail, produces its quota of leaders who will trade the dignity of their people for a photograph with a western head of state, for a seat at a table that was never set for them. They dress it up as pragmatism and call it diplomacy. But it is the oldest and most contemptible transaction in the postcolonial playbook: the surrender of collective dignity for personal visibility. And these are days, I will not pretend otherwise, where I genuinely wonder if we will ever be free.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Not because the struggle is not real or the people are not capable, but because freedom requires leaders at the decisive moment, and every decisive moment seems to find us represented by spineless, glory-hunting, photograph-chasing men who would sell the graves of their own predecessors for a handshake with those that tried to erase their people. Every generation inherits the fight for freedom but also produces the cowards who auction it.

Apple just sold you out to Israel mass boycotts are needed.

What Clyburn is saying here is actually very important. The court found a way to rule that a 75% white district (higher than SC’s total non Hispanic white pop.) is legal if you call it a political gerrymander, but a 40 or 45% Black district is an illegal racial gerrymander.

How do you read things like this and not want them GONE

MY MOTHER WAS MY FAVORITE MAGICIAN… SHE MADE SHIT APPEAR OUTTA NOTHING 🤞🏽

Went through the Euphoria hashtag and saw Sydney Sweeney’s big gigantic tits pressing up the window the size of Godzilla.. what is this show even about

Pete Davidson made a Charlie Kirk joke toward Tony Hinchcliffe and calls Ye a ‘gay Nazi’ during Kevin Hart’s roast. “Tony reminds me of Charlie Kirk, and that’s he’s definitely been on camera letting a guy unload in his throat. Oh you don’t know me? yeah ‘Kill Tony.’ Please someone fucking ‘Kill Tony.’ Tony nothing you say tonight will hurt my feelings. I was in a beef with Kanye so I’ve taken shots from better gay Nazis” (via: @Netflix)

@FearedBuck The people in the replies are doing the meme again ❄️ ❄️ ❄️

BRAVO to Ashley Allison for holding her ground and clapping back on Scott Jennings, who repeatedly tried to derail the conversation about stripping voting rights from Black voters in Memphis. This is how it's done.

I am DYING of laughter. How can Michael Jackson be so famous that every celebrity has the exact same response to his call???? 😂😂😭😭

@HotSpotHotSpot He wasn’t lying…. 👀
