Rep. Terri Sewell confronted Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about comments he previously made about Black children with ADHD getting “re-parented” through “wellness farms.” RFK vehemently denied ever saying so — but we’ve got the receipts 👀

Africa really has no choice but to decolonize itself.

Elon Musk and his team really suppressed this post. That's the free speech he promised you all.

Justin Fairfax murdered his wife Cerina in their home, then killed himself and left their kids to pick up the pieces. As Black men, we need to be clear in moments like this: nothing is worth killing a Black woman. Nothing. Pain is real. Divorce is real. Depression is real. Rage is real. But none of it justifies violence against a woman. Too many Black women carry the weight of loving men who haven’t healed. Too many children are left to pick up trauma they didn’t create. A man who cannot control his anger is dangerous. And too often, the people closest to him pay the highest price. We don’t want excuses when others kill us. We shouldn’t make excuses when Black men kill Black women either. Accountability must be consistent. Protection must be intentional. Healing must be a priority. I grieve for Cerina, her children, and everyone who loved her. And I want Black men to hear this plainly: If you harm a woman, that is not manhood. Get help before you become harm.

Earth, Wind & Fire That's The Way Of The World - 1975

African inventor makes biodegradable plastic using an invasive plant. In the process, he reduces malaria and provides green jobs for the community.

Trump is about to lock 157 million Americans out of their own bank accounts. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed an executive order forcing every US bank to collect proof of citizenship is "in process." And he just doubled down: "If Treasury and the banking regulators say it's their job, it's their job." This sounds irrelevant but here's what this really means: Per the Congressional Research Service, only 48% of Americans hold a US passport. That leaves over 170 million Americans without one. REAL IDs don't count. Driver's licenses don't count. Social Security cards don't count. Per Wall Street Journal reporting, banks will need a passport or birth certificate. The Brennan Center found 21.3 million voting-age US citizens don't have documents proving their citizenship easily available. These are Americans who are about to lose access to their own bank accounts. And here's the thing: The order applies to new AND existing customers. Banks could be forced to close accounts of people who can't produce documents. Your 78-year-old grandmother born at home in 1948. Your naturalized dad who lost his papers 30 years ago. Your cousin mid-passport renewal. The official story is that this stops illegal immigrants from accessing banking. But the actual reality: Illegal immigrants can't open US bank accounts anyway. Know Your Customer rules already require SSNs or ITINs. The existing system ALREADY blocks what this order claims to block. So who does this actually target? The half of Americans without a passport. Rural Americans. Elderly Americans born before centralized record-keeping. Black Americans in Southern states where birth records were historically unreliable. Low-income Americans who can't afford $225 for an expedited passport. The American Action Forum, a center-right think tank, estimates this adds 33 to 73 million paperwork hours and $2.6 to $5.6 billion in compliance costs. Guess who pays those costs? You do. Through fees. Through closed accounts. Through denied loans. Bessent's defense quote: "I have a place in the UK, they want to know who lives in every apartment." Bessent's net worth: $600 million. He has a "place in the UK." He will not be affected by this. So this isn't really about immigration. For the first time in American history, access to the banking system would be conditioned on proving citizenship to the federal government. That creates a permanent database linking every American's finances to their citizenship status. Once that database exists, it gets used by ICE, voting enforcement, tax enforcement, Social Security, and future administrations for purposes nobody has announced yet. Every future government gets the keys to decide who has a bank account based on paperwork. And Wall Street's reaction tells you everything: Bank execs privately called it "unworkable" and "a complete nightmare." One researcher called it "a way to weaponize the banking system to achieve political ends." They're not pushing back because they love immigrants. They just KNOW the compliance costs are catastrophic and half their customers will walk. Tom Cotton also introduced a companion bill in March making it a federal crime for any unauthorized person to "open or maintain a US bank account." Maintain. Meaning existing accounts. These things are literally being drafted right now. I'm surprised that all of this went under the radar.

The Economic Apartheid in South Africa 🇿🇦 never ended, even after independence.

When Afrikaners (Boers) had total control during apartheid, skin color mattered and equity was nonexistent. Now that the native black majority is in positions to take power, colonizers say skin color shouldn't matter and equity is a priority. This paradigm is universal wherever there are black and white populations. #SouthAfrica

Africa standing in solidarity with Julius Malema. Sent him to prison for five years for position of a gun.. and what’s so fascinated the same westerners who champion the second amendment rights there’s no celebrating him going to prison. Wake up Africa, the Europeans are not your friends. They’re not your allies.. they just care about you natural resource.

BREAKING: Louisiana has advanced one of the cruelest anti-homeless bills in the country. It would force homeless people to choose between jail and involuntary treatment, make them pay for it, and if they can't pay, force them to perform unpaid labor. housingnothandcuffs.org/2026/04/16/sta…

They know Africa is in the center of the world and in the center of every trade in the world. The West and East understand that the world is all about competition. If there is a steady growth in Africa’s economy and development, the rate of poverty will shift towards them. So they do everything to oppress the growth in Africa using both the IMF and world bank with some so call investors. These aren’t just my words; they have discussed it in several meetings.

Louisiana ranks near the bottom in damn near everything that matters — economy, crime, education, healthcare, infrastructure — but instead of fixing that, they’re focused on taking power from a majority Black community in New Orleans. This bill to remove the Clerk of Criminal Court isn’t about reform. It’s about control. You can’t say you believe in local control and then override local voters when you don’t like who they elected. I said it plain: this is reconstructionist, and it’s racist. You use the government as a job farm building jails in your to employ your constituents and then talk efficiency and eliminate jobs in Black communities. You’re failing your voters and some of them are starting to see the light. Every vote you make reflects your moral character. History will remember. So will the voters. Share if you care 🦾

In 1900, Yaa Asantewaa led a rebellion against British colonial forces in the Ashanti Empire after leaders hesitated to act. Her courage became one of the most powerful symbols of resistance in African history.

The United States of America's (USA) Kissinger policy on Africa's stated with the purpose of reducing the population and making sure the Africans do not develop or use their natural resources for themselves.

LEE: Your agency told programs to remove 200 words from their funding applications including the word "Black." Do you have an idea how we can solve the black maternal health crisis if we cannot say "Black"?  RFK JR: DEI divided and polarized people. LEE: We’re talking about healthcare. RFK JR: We’re talking about DEI. Do you think the federal government should be paying for DEI?  LEE: I think the federal government has a vested interest in ensuring citizens survive childbirth.  RFK JR: We are meeting that obligation.  LEE: We are not
