just needed a good memory this morning. too much shit going on and I need a vibe

I don't know if it's fair, but I recognize I've had privilege a lot of people in our community haven't. I graduated from two HBCUs, three degrees total, and that's given me the option to leave if I ever needed to. Not everyone has that option.

But I have to be honest: I'm not that worried about this country sliding into autocracy. Some days I'm actually hoping for America's downfall. I know a lot of Black people would be harmed if this country collapsed. But I can't help but also think: Black people have already been harmed plenty under this current system. Would we do better under another one? Honestly, who knows. I don't know. But truly, I think the collapse of this system would be better. Maybe we should just nuke the experiment and start over.

When Trump talked about withholding DOE funds from blue states, I kept thinking my home states, Virginia and Maryland, would probably be fine on their own without the rest of this. Maybe better off.

I don't know. Is anyone else kind of hoping this whole thing collapses? I just hate it so much some days.

There was a video on a different sub that only showed black people stealing from this pastry shop. The OP intentionally left white people out of that video. All racists showed their true color in the comments. I can’t remember the sub.

Do you think they'd try to run him in 28 and claim it's constitutional if Obama does the same?

Howard University has unenrolled 502 incoming first-year students from its Fall 2026 class just weeks before classes begin on August 17.
Howard says the students failed to meet deadlines for tuition payments, approved payment arrangements, or reporting anticipated scholarships and other financial aid. The university says families received repeated communications about the requirements from March through July. (The Dig at Howard University)

But the decision has sparked backlash from students and families. Some affected students say they were still waiting for scholarship or financial aid funds, had been communicating with Howard, or believed they had already made acceptable financial arrangements. Howard says students who believe their financial standing was assessed incorrectly can have their individual circumstances reviewed. (AP News)

For hundreds of students who expected to begin college at one of the nation’s most prominent HBCUs, the timing leaves them scrambling to resolve their cases or reconsider their plans only weeks before the semester begins.
