Don’t come to Maui. Cancel your planned vacations. Survivors need the hotel rooms. Give our community time to grieve and heal.

Between 2011 and 2022 alone, Black land-grant universities lost nearly $200 million in resources because states declined to provide them with matching funds while fully funding predominantly white universities, a new report notes. chroni.cl/3KeYze8

AAPI fam….the Supreme Court decision on Affirmative Action is a bad one. Our community is harmed by it. Don’t let anyone fool you.

"While Ms. Smith has laid the groundwork for her new venture, she has yet to carry out her plans." HOW THEN DOES THE COURT ISSUE AN OPINION GIVEN THAT NOTHING HAS ACTUALLY HAPPENED?????!!!!!!

Supreme Court's Fourteenth Amendment:
- DOES NOT allow for race-conscious measures to remedy widespread structural discrimination;
- DOES allow bigots to refuse service to minority groups so long as the bigotry is sincere

Affirmative action gutted.
Black, Ethnic, LGBTQ+ & Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies attacked.
The fall of Roe.
Banning books.
Banning ideologies coined by Black Feminists.
And y’all want Black academics to go on as business as usual?
Nah.

Before you begin your thinkpiece, the Supreme Court DID NOT strike down Affirmative Action
Admission preferences for legacies, donors, employee families and special recommendations are still allowed
The Court struck down Affirmative Action For everyone except WHITE PEOPLE

David Stamps remembers his father’s tough love like it was yesterday, but over the years, his dad has come to embrace emotions and intimacy with his son. “It seems small but feels much larger,” Stamps writes in The Emancipator. Read his piece here: bostonglobe.com/2023/06/15/o…

We ALL need a hug! Black men are in crisis. We need a new game plan for emotional intimacy – one that reimagines how we can support each other and our mental health by @davidstampsii bostonglobe.com/2023/06/15/o… via @The_Emancipator

“They celebrated my hard-earned accomplishments with multiple hugs and kisses, despite living in a society that said a Black boy from St. Louis was not enough. Maybe I can model healthy behaviors for them…”

You know who’s name hasn’t been mentioned for having classified documents… President @BarackObama.
You know why?
Racism trains successful Black people at a very young age to walk the line. That “you can’t do what they do”. That you have to be twice as good to get half as much.

Average rent in the US is currently about $1,700. For you to be "financially stable" aka not at heightened risk of homelessness, it's advised you make 3x your rent. That's $61,200/yr. That's the minimum we should ALL be making to be STABLE. So, no, 75k is not outrageous wealth.

Kroger is currently facing four class action lawsuits over mass wage theft.
If the company's mega-merger with Albertsons goes through, over 700,000 workers across 5,000 stores nationwide could be subjected to this sort of behavior.

As you read this, remember this Academy member admits he never watched the film. He should be expelled. His bigotry and sexism is what we’re fighting against. Ultimately art isn’t a competition, but racism is an anathema
