The Sneaker Philanthropist

Do you remember in The Lion King when scar told the hyenas if they helped him become king he will make their lives better and then their lives didn’t get better and he blamed them for it. And upon realizing this, the hyenas ate him. Do with that story what you will.

There are 306 Black-owned bookstores in the U.S. (and 14 states do not have one). If you are looking for one to support, please go to their website: nab2.org/directory?utm_…

"Chuck Schumer Is a Terrible Democratic Leader With Terrible Judgement on Candidates" When it comes to Senate candidates, the Democratic leader rarely picks well – and both the party and the country suffer, writes Ryan Cooper for Zeteo. zeteo.com/p/chuck-schume…

Rubio: Imagine if Iran funded the well-being of its people, rather than its military Trump, two days later: We can’t fund daycare or Medicaid, we need more money for our military

@TheDemocrats Lmfao. Y’all are so damn lame and useless. Folks are not going to vote for eatablishment dems because it means absolutely nothing will get done.

happy intl. transgender day to the nonbinary that are not androgynous, the dolls that do not ‘pass’, boys that like to be fem, the people in between, the questioners of the cis-society, the gender benders, the people that treat gender like a playground.

You aren't participating in capitalism, you're being exploited by it, like the rest of us. Capitalism requires a permanent underclass to function, who do you think that underclass is

An all-white jury sent a Black Oregon firefighter to prison for self-defense, while the man he says attacked him walked away untouched. atlantablackstar.com/2025/05/31/bla…

Not even apartheid South Africa codified executions for only one ‘race group’. Israel is now the most racist state the world has ever known. Shame on every government, every company, every individual who offer it support.

No Kings protest exists in a different political universe from leftist organizing Leftists are focused on direct action & doing things that are responsive to reality Like figuring out how we’ll feed ourselves when the food supply chain collapses this autumn, or how to keep the govt from kidnapping us & our neighbors or how to stop the growth of the US imperialist death machine or how to end the multiple genocides happening or how to protect ourselves when the govt unleashes all its military force against its own citizenry as the infrastructure collapses This is not the same universe of thought as “who do we vote for months from now in an election we aren’t certain will happen, under a government that stopped following the constitution a long time ago”

james baldwin was so right when he said “the children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.”

Graham Platner to Chuck Schumer: “You need to stop having a problem with the illegal wars we have been starting simply because of the paperwork that wasn’t done properly. You should be against them because they are fundamentally immoral, unethical, and illegal. We should have absolutely no discussion about funding them. Wars that are killing people for the benefit of Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, those wars should not be waged, period”

The first edition of the newly reborn Easterner student newspaper is LIVE!

The writers and directors of You, Me & Tuscany are white. The studio executives are white. Pressuring and essentially guilting Black audiences to watch a film in an increasingly volatile economy is unfair and manipulative for us and Black filmmakers this keeps happening.

NEW: Imagine your water runs brown, smells like poop, your yard floods with sewage every time it rains — and the government still says your water “meets standards” That’s life in Cahokia Heights, a Black town where Congress just cut infrastructure funding capitalbnews.org/cahokia-height…

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. noted, “we have deluded ourselves into believing the myth that capitalism grew and prospered out of the Protestant ethic of hard work and sacrifice. The fact is capitalism was built on the exploitation and suffering of Black slaves and continues to thrive on the exploitation of the poor — both Black and abroad.”

When they talk about KKK they always make it seem like it was so long ago, in a galaxy far far away. This is from 1964... not very long ago at all
