Can’t seem to face up to the facts
Tense and nervous and can’t relax
Can’t sleep, ’cause the bed’s on fire
Don’t touch oil, just add more live wires

Psycho killers, qu’est-ce que c’est?
Fa, fa, fa, faaa, fa, fa, fa, fa, far wetter (in places)
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away… #climateCrisis

"[T]he worst thing that happened to Black history during #BlackHistoryMonth was not Ron DeSantis banning critical concepts and approaches—it was the College Board revising its new #AfricanAmericanStudies curriculum to meet all of his demands. But now scholars in #BlackHistory, #BlackStudies and related fields are fighting back. #KimberléCrenshaw will explain. She founded the #AfricanAmericanPolicyForum."
