DEI has become a political smokescreen. Funding cuts hit Black institutions. Targeting programs serving Black communities. One example gets amplified into a full justification. Esosa Osa calls it a mis- and disinformation strategy. And it’s working.

Disinformation doesn’t just “spread.” It’s designed, pushing language and images that make false stories feel personal. So here’s the move: SLOW DOWN. When something triggers a strong reaction, pause. Because your attention is valuable.

Misinformation is a weapon, but our power is real. They’ve tried to silence and disarm us for generations, telling us our vote doesn’t matter. But history proves otherwise. Freedom isn’t given—it’s fought for, again and again. It’s our turn to reclaim what’s ours.

Gregory Jackson is a gun violence survivor and advocate who helped shape and pass the historic, bipartisan Safer Communities Act while working directly with the White House. The result? A 31% reduction in homicides, proof that policy backed by lived experience can save lives.

This from @sineadbovell is worth paying attention to. As AI gets pulled closer to state power, surveillance, and national security, the real question is not just what the tech can do. It is who it serves, who it protects, and who it puts at risk. #AI

The Blackout Report has surfaced more than 15,700 coordinated hits on Black progress including deleted data, banned books, gutted research, and policy choices designed to choke opportunity at the root. We've documented every move, every pattern, every attempt to dim our future.

WHAT’S GOOD, FAM?! Black voters showed out this election and history was made! 💪🏾✨ This is what progress looks like. Black leadership is rising — one ballot, one victory, one new chapter at a time.

Platforms profit from our culture, our image, and our voices but rarely protect us. Ownership of our likeness and digital footprint isn’t optional. Staying informed and staying diligent is a must. It’s how we stay safe, empowered, and in control.

591 books by Black authors were banned from Pentagon-run schools under this administration. As Godfrey breaks down, Black history in schools has always been limited, sanitized, or erased. The truth has always lived outside the system. Read Black authors. Support Black educators.

@jadakiss said it: Money. Power. Respect. The Special Edition Blackout Report finds Black-owned businesses receive just 1.2% of federal contract payments, while $9.3B in annual Black wealth creation could be at risk. Read the report: blackoutreport.org #BlackoutReport

I didn’t vote for the social media ban; the real issue has always been tech companies allowing harmful behaviour to run rampant on their platforms. But with the ban in place, the Govt mustn’t forget to ensure social media platforms also clean up their act. #auspol #politas
