Daniel Smith, Believed to Be the Last Child of Enslaved People, Dies at 90 eji.org/news/daniel-smith-be…

Reconstruction lasted 12 years. It did not merely “end.” Black legislators were murdered and barbaric immigrants were unleashed on over 538 thriving Black American cities, towns, and communities. Jim Crow was quickly implemented in its place and lasted for 88 years.

Glaude & ADOS were on the same page once upon a time. He was right. We were right. Establishment Democrats made him apologize profusely for ever suggesting that we use the ballot box to hold Democrats accountable. Such a shame the time we lost waiting for slow people to catch up.

saying she is rejecting the notion that we all need to be lifted out of poverty bc she has *several* middle class friends is such crazzzzyyyy work! like ...we really don't throw enough tomatoes at Angela Rye foreal. 🍅🍅🍅

“Who knew?” Girl shut up. It’s *been* set up that way so that the executive branch doesn’t need to go to Congress & ask for money every time there’s a new lawsuit to settle. Obama or Biden could’ve taken a small step & set a precedent for reparations by using that fund to pay the Tulsa Race Massacre survivors. They didn’t even need to necessarily go all the way. And Obama could’ve done it in his second term. Without Congress. Zero political consequences for him. But every time we tried to advocate for redress, y’all told us we didn’t understand how government works. But we do. Y’all don’t. And y’all lack both courage & political imagination.

They’re taking the white family’s pool y’all… 🥱

The Justice Department suing Yale over a few dozen Black medical school students while China has half a million students at American universities is insane.

They’re training the Latino kids, I see. There is no Black & Brown coalition. Also why did this reporter capitalize Latino but not Black? #ADOS

"When did we decide we were just going to vote blue and hope for the best. We did not get here that way." Preach. Black Americans as a group have remained stagnant for decades. Yet many of us seem to feel that Democrats don't owe us more than a call to vote for Democrats.

In 2019, a reporter told me the real test of a movement is whether it’s still standing five years later. She said most movements fade. Leaders disappear, get absorbed into the system, lose focus, or simply burn out. I think about all the names that have come and gone since then. All the voices that once dominated Black politics and/or lineage advocacy that you barely hear from anymore. From where I stand now—watching the collapse of credibility across much of the Black political class—I’d say we’re doing pretty good.

But they keep telling us immigration doesn’t impact us @AttorneyCrump At a point, we need to have an honest conversation about immigration & its impact on ADOS communities. “These are our sisters & brothers!” is just a slogan. It doesn’t interrogate the issue or address our concerns. And if Democrats want to register more ADOS voters & see higher turnout, they better start by addressing our legitimate concerns.

Just a reminder that when Sen McConnell denied Pres. Obama a SCOTUS pick, the response by Democrats wasn’t to court pack or take radical action. It was “welp”. The Democratic Party can only be destroyed or overhauled. It can’t continue as it currently exists. The writing’s been on the wall for awhile.

I always say our enemies know us better than we know ourselves. #ADOS don’t want to see anymore slave movies, right? We prefer drug dealer movies I guess. But the architect of Project 2025 meticulously studied slavery & our history. He knew the power of learning our history even if we don’t.

We got an EXCLUSIVE 📺!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 #ADOS

I propose we first get serious about organizing around our political agenda rather than a political party. Then apply pressure. Also I’m grown and I vote. I’ve been involved in politics my entire life. I’ve worked for the DNC. I don’t need any lectures.

It's always we need to do this and we need to do that. It's never telling them mofos to give Black people a reason to vote for them.

To allow ADOS. Not “diversity”.

Do I have to drag you again, @nypost. Leave my family alone with your lies and click bait articles. You and your fake sources. A “family source”.. blah blah blah. Stacy Brown, you have no credibility, never have. That’s why I’ve called you a weasel in the past. And just so you know, Stacy Brown was having dinner with the prosecution team during my uncle’s trial. Stop trusting the tabloids.

Affirmative action was designed for American Descendants of Slavery, not all Black & Brown people & women. If we narrowed it back to that, there wouldn’t be an issue.
