They released this on a Friday for a reason. Trump’s new National Security Strategy walks away from alliances, embraces domination, and reframes “security” as protection from diversity. Trump has made white nationalist power official U.S. policy. open.substack.com/pub/drstacey...
The Dells pledged $6.25 billion to “invest” in America’s kids. Sounds huge, but do the math. $250 won’t won’t stabilize a family. But it will generate applause and tax breaks for billionaires while the machinery that keeps kids poor stays fully intact. open.substack.com/pub/drstacey...
This raccoon broke into a liquor store, got drunk & passed out in the bathroom. This tracks with a recent report from scientists who’ve found evidence that raccoons are becoming domestic. I also learned this raccoon’s government name & a little about his struggles. open.substack.com/pub/drstacey...
When the president of the United States calls a Black congresswoman “garbage,” that’s state-level dehumanization. And history tells us exactly where that language leads.

What is Trump’s MRI actually supposed to settle? The power brokers don’t care if he’s healthy or has good cognition. They care that he’s useful.

Today’s Sunday morning sermon. Get saved. Get delivered. Get sweet potato salvation!

Thank you, love.
Thanks so much, love.
Media outlets are treating a predator’s deformed anatomy like a juicy tabloid mystery. Meanwhile, his victims are being retraumatized watching the world turn the instrument of their terror into a punchline.

Lissen, as a mouthy Black woman journalist, I would have lost my job and ended up in Taliban jail if the POTUS called me “piggy.”

If Jesus said harming a child is worse than drowning with a millstone tied to your neck, what do you think he’d say about slandering children by comparing them to people who are intentionally destroying the country?

So glad it made you chuckle.
Nice to meet you, love.
If folks really knew the actual history of this country, they’d know America has been protecting powerful white men who sexually exploit children since before it had a name.

They've *turned their own insecurity ...
So, we’ve got broke incels out here celebrating women’s hunger and desperation and posting memes about getting them some “$40 coochie.” They’ve their own insecurity into viral entertainment degrading women.

Sunday sermon: Jesus fed the hungry, practiced redistribution of wealth, universal healthcare, economic justice, inclusion, disaster relief, servant leadership, criminal justice reform, childcare & education for all. He was a Socialist before it had a name.

Girl, please. Nobody’s packing up to live in a cousin-humping meth lab cul-de-sac where the biggest attraction is a Confederate statue and a Waffle House brawl. Y'all can keep your "great red states" with illiterate MAGATs dying from mouth chlamydia and racism while fighting possums for porch space.
Three bodies. Three symbols of a dying empire. White patriarchy built an entire mythology around strength, control, and domination, but now its high priests are literally falling apart in public.

The media, from left to right, keeps panicking or pontificating about what a Democratic Socialist is and acting like Zohran Mamdani’s platform is an impending apocalypse rather than a mandate for basic human decency.

So many parents ask me how to stop hitting their children. First, you have to understand what’s really happening in your body. Hitting doesn’t “work” because it teaches a child anything. It “works” because it temporarily calms YOU.

New York just elected a Brown Muslim Socialist as mayor, and the right wing is absolutely losing its collective mind. 😂

Today is only the beginning.
Our time has come, New York. Our time is now.
Trump called African nations “shithole countries” and now he suddenly wants to “save” African Christians. He doesn’t give a damn about Christians in Africa, or Black Christians anywhere in the world.

A sitting congressman told SNAP recipients to “stop smoking crack.” So today’s Sunday sermon is a rebuke of his cruelty.

My student, Dru Strand, just wrote this powerful piece for NewsOne about what it feels like to be a college student who’s afraid she’ll lose her SNAP benefits. While politicians in D.C. play games with people’s livelihoods, she’s wondering how she’ll eat.
“Did Jamaicans evacuate?”
Evacuate to where? Into the ocean? This question reveals so much about privilege, geography, and the arrogance of assuming everyone has somewhere safe to run in a climate crisis.

Trump says he can “save 7,000 people a week” and that might help him get into heaven. He told reporters he “doesn’t think he’s heaven-bound” and joked there’s “some kind of report card up there someplace.” He’s thinking about eternity as a deal to be brokered. open.substack.com/pub/drstacey...
