In other news, Ramadan is starting on Saturday. Be kind to your Muslims friends who are fasting. If you think we're ignoring you around 5 pm, just know we're in a Ramadan Hibernation Zone preparing for sunset when we can eat and drink.
A week from today!
If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.
And now is the time when we see what companies REALLY gots women’s backs,,, the world is watching 👀
YOU’VE GOT THIS!!!

Look at you go!!!!
More than 100 years after its initial review that blamed Black men, the Dept. of Justice just released its report on the 1921 Tulsa race massacre
The report says the attack “was so systematic and coordinated that it transcended mere mob violence”
I worry the horrific violence in NOLA (and conspiracy theory around it) might distract from the fact that white supremacist domestic terrorism is truly our greatest threat.
