This whole damn 🧵 is a WORD.
PREACH!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Jamie with the 🔥
I have not observed a single journalist over the past 10 years who has handled pushback & criticism well. Meanwhile, they're hemorrhaging consumers & the fascists are taking over their platforms.
Black women have every right to be furious. The irresponsible choices of white voters has for many of us, taken our livelihood with consequences for our homes, the education of our children, our ability to care for parents. It’s unconscionable. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Today’s Chucks. After I tripped crossing a stream and got one foot soaked. 😗
And now I have a new destination to try.
This is why I love Jay Jay.
I will keep saying it.. ~white people are waking up to the terrifying reality of how relentlessly cruel white people are ~we have no idea how to survive in a world where the color of our skin will no longer save us ~we're blaming the party we voted out of power for not saving us
The right wanted him to hurt the people they hate. The left wanted to feel morally superior. Neither will accept responsibility for the destruction they consciously chose.
Funny thing? Plenty of people did predict it. Most of them Black men & women. VP Harris, among them. Most white people ignored the warnings, and we chose this white supremacist hellscape cuz we either like it this way, or don't care about how it affects non-white people enough to vote against it...
I've been rocking my Uncle Joe shirts over the last two weeks.
😊
Once Bee gets firm on her feet, I’m getting her a pair lol.
Right??? They’re too cute!
🚨 A very long thread 🚨 I need you all to actually come to terms with what happened last year. No, Harris did not run a bad campaign. You're just stupid. He ran on dictator shit, she ran on “He’s going to kill us all but I’m won't and here are the policies that will benefit you if you elect me”.
I just got a pair of high top platforms in the same color—I’ll post them when I finally wear them. 😊
I’ve been keeping myself busy by planning for Bee’s first birthday. It’s been good for my spirit.
I LOVE them!!!!!
THOSE ARE SO FREAKING CUTE!!!!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍
We can’t let them steal our joy.
I’m gonna have SO many pairs of these…😭😭😭
😘
There’s something very profound about this particular selfie. I think perhaps it should be painted. And made a meme round the whole goddamned country.
I’ve been drinking from it a lot lately.
Sup, sis!
Hey girl, hey!
I’m so sorry.
Today’s Chucks. They’re brand new, but I’ve already scuffed them up thanks to our damn stroller break. #Momlife 🐣
Fire RFK Jr. now.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
With Washington DC under occupation.. Where are: Pro Palestine folk who protested VP Harris for 107 days? FBA? ADOS? DSA? Nowhere to be seen because they’re all ops designed to harm democrats and help republicans..
Hi Shelby!!!
A Word from THEE Jamie Harrison. Y’all shoulda never let this brother go.
It be like that sometimes.
My therapist and I talked last year about the white MAGA folk in her practice, grappling with hurt and confusion over being cut off by their families, and getting them to connect the dots, hear their families, and face facts. it’s us white folk who have to draw lines for our kind.
Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW
May God Almighty strike down anyone who so much as breathes "thoughts and prayers" today. They were schoolkids at CHURCH. They WERE praying.
Days like this make me want to vomit.
Back in February, I asked why an unelected oligarch and his band of minions felt entitled to your Social Security number. Six months later, it's clear it has ended in disaster. The Trump admin must answer for this violation of public trust that has put all Americans' private information at risk.
I sat down with @laurenunderwood.bsky.social this week to talk maternal health and how policy hits home. Her work and perspective are worth your time, folks. https://youtu.be/smKC04aNlYA #PullUpASeat #AtOurTable
For Black male voters. You’re targeted and that will continue. Know the signs. Then block & move on.
America has a problem.

We found hundreds of examples of federal agencies & institutions purging their websites of anything Black, including: -Profiles of Black military heroes (Army) -Documents on the Tulsa Race Massacre (National Archives) -Resources for educators for teaching slavery (NMAAHC)
😁
We’re gonna frame some photos of Naomi Osaka for Bee—our Haitian tennis queen always comes SO fresh. 🇭🇹
They’re “Dainty Mary Jane” Chucks! www.converse.com/shop/p/chuck...
Thank you! And the sidewalk art is actually just stickers!
Not for my bank account! 🤣
😁
I’m also extremely flat footed and Chucks have always been my go-to sneaker. I actually started wearing their Mary Janes back in the spring when my feet went back down to their pre-pregnancy size. Barring special occasions, Chucks are the only shoes I’ve worn all summer. 😭😂
YES! Aren’t they amazing???
I thought so!
😊
I LOVE them!
I’m going to end up getting them in every color by the end of the year. 😭
So, Converse has a line called “Dainty Mary Janes,” and they’re perfect and I love them and I have three pairs and I will be buying more for myself AND Baby Bee.
It would be nice if the people who ignored our warnings actually owned up to their folly, apologized, and committed themselves to resuscitating the republic. They won’t, of course, but it’d be nice.
Thanks! It was my first time wearing them! 😊
Today’s Chucks
Tbh, I’d given up hope that it’d ever see the light of day.
It’s been quite the roller coaster, but we’re finally here. 🥹 variety.com/2025/film/ne...
I HAVE to see this.
Happy Birthday, Chris!!!!!!!!!!!
That. Sounds. DELICIOUS.
We hit up Timmy’s in Buffalo over the weekend, and those apple cider Timbits are DANGEROUS.
I’m a pumpkin spice bish through and through…but as fall approaches, apple cider is calling my name…
She’s always been right.
Let Gavin cook.., and recognize he can say what he wants and take an approach that women like Kamala & Hillary could not..
I don't recall Minority Leader Pelosi yelling the word Fascist on TV during the Muslim Ban, family separation, etc. Not even as Speaker when Kushner stole and hoarded PPE from states during COVID. Now, shit is impacting white folks, you are demanding the angry Black man. Be consistent.
I’m VERY happy with my choice.
And of course Chucks were the only choice for Bee to practice her first steps (she’s SO close to walking unassisted! 😭).
And a name I have NEVER typed!!!!
Oh, I freaking LOVE them. This is my current favorite pair.
🤣🤣🤣
And they’re always COMPLETELY off!!!
I didn’t even realize it until a few minutes later!! Like WTAF??? 😭
I’ve been in Chucks ALL summer. Low tops, Mary Janes…Converse had a sale at the start of the season and I treated myself. 😌
I might be going…😊
It’s so annoying!!!
*Just got
STUPID spell check. *Just* got a new pair of Chucks. 😩😩😩
I know, I’ve been scarce lately, but I’m still around. 😘
Kurt got another new pair of Chucks. For reasons. 💛💜
He smiled SO wide! I really surprised him! 😁
Big bro was SHOCKED when we unveiled his cake. I win.
Not to brag, but I am *literally* thee best sister. 💅🏾
I promised Texas would be sued. And I don't bluff. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Pick me up even if I fall. Let love heal us all…
Um, this is GORGEOUS.
Here, fixed it.
So damn wholesome. 😊
Spotted in the wild! 😂😂
I had fully planned for 80% of Bee’s wardrobe to be Cat and Jack. The clothes are cute, but we’ve been shopping other brands at Macy’s. 💁🏾♀️
We need to start being way more loud and assertive about basic facts in this country. NO, Trump didn't win in 2020. YES, Jill Stein is a grifting fraud who actively helped Trump win in 2016. NO, Vaccines don't cause autism & YES they are safe and effective. NO, Kamala Harris wasn't a bad candidate
We did go on a Costco run while visiting with friends last weekend, though.
