This book, "The Source of Self Regard" has been a hit for me and I'm still halfway through.

This is the first page, written in 2019.

I got this one book from the Party of Socialism and Liberation out here in Tampa called The Trinity of Fundamentalism by Wisam Rafeedie. I've been meaning to start it but am curious if anyone else here has read it?

Dear Friends and Family, I'm reaching out regarding a very serious important matte. My sister, Jessica Shabazz, has been missing since the beginning of December 2023, and our family wouldn't reach out to our community and the public for assistance unless it was absolutely necessary. Her last known whereabouts were in the D.C., Maryland or Virginia area. Over the past year she has been dealing with some mental health issues. Most recently she lost her job, has been living in shelters, and had some run-ins with the police. We love her dearly, and desperately want to find her and bring her home. If you have seen Jessica, please share details on our contact form at https://bit.ly/locatejessicashabazz Please keep our family in your prayers as we continue our search. Sincerely, Diallo less

From Belly of the Beast regarding The War on Obesity following The War on Drugs.

Confident that the sitting American president has similar bits as a professional segregationist (when it was cool) and a proud co-author of the anti-Black, pro-private-property "Crime" bill of 1994.

These people don't care, haven't cared and can't care: we're not in their orbits.

@tokensane @bookstodon I guess. It's definitely one of those circumstances where history collaborates with even spectulation.

I have a friend who's looking for roles. They've done it a lot for work but are looking to make a career change. They have their cover portfolio page over at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-5AH-ua7AbUCDOr-otL8NXrT3t5NAEtZQfZuooFBYOI/edit?usp=sharing and are actively looking for contract roles!

Parent Company's Latest Argument Against Free Tax Filing: It Will Harm Taxpayers

Articles published around the country repeat Intuit’s assertion — sometimes almost word for word — that the upcoming pilot program would hurt Black Americans.

A researcher whose work is cited by says the company is misstating her findings.

It does. I worked on some https://getyourrefund.org for Code for America. This is optimized for low income families but you'll be linked to free filing services.

And with recent changes to the IRS, this will open up for more people. https://github.com/codeforamerica/vita-min

hooks challenges the idea of being a respectable Negro here by mentioning that a Black person's self esteem should be on alert when you're being afforded "special privileges" that steps outside of your Blackness.

From "Rock Your Soul", this reminds me of the current situation with @Are0h and ; it doesn't do what they want and they'll rage.

I have no idea if this book is any good. I just know that it's older than my mom AND dad (50s). @bookstodon
