And anyone who actually understands history knows that this refusal to sit with an ugly truth is not only bald cowardice but the exact reason we are where we are today.

They need participation trophies and ally cookies or everyone is being mean and next time they'll vote for further oppression (again)

If Black people saying I told you so after centuries of telling you so is what makes you lose motivation to help *squints* keep people from being killed and put in concentration camps? Please get out the way. You are not a serious person and will be a hindrance. I'm so serious.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I’ve seen it cut both ways but they’re the same generation who watched millennials go nuts over vinyl, then did the same themselves with VHS

it seems that they’re able to appreciate the unique qualities of older media rather than labeling it antiquated

White folks: we NEED to take to the streets for these Black journalists. The regime can't spin the optics on brutalizing white protesters, and they're trying to stir up Black resistance because they know it's carte blanche with their base.

Do not let them.

4 Black journalists have been kidnapped by the federal government

Show up and show out, and shout their names. And I know y'all got room on the signs, add Keith Porter.

Because you know what you're saying is ridiculous on its face. If an elected official can't read and fully understand what they're voting on (or use their ample platform to explain their reasoning) OR speak to any but six of their colleagues, then what exactly are they doing?

He deserves justice, too.

ICE ALERT-

They are signing up to be Uber & LYFT drivers. Check your driver's stats. If they are a new driver, cancel the ride before they get to you.

And then having the gall to chastise people who have been living this reality for generations. I've seen Keith Porter's name mentioned ONCE in all the screeds and protest signs and messages. Just one time.

HARLEM ALERT

Hey everyone, thank you SO much for donating and sharing so far. It means a lot to me, especially considering this week’s events on here.

I am asking that you please share (and donate if you can) one more time. Bc of yall I’ve made it halfway through. 💙

Fellow white people..if you get a guttural reaction to this and it upsets you..

TOO DAMN BAD.

SIT WITH THAT SHIT.

talk about 'studied the playbook', they looked at the inception of cops in this country and just copy/pasted it

How would you feel if you had spent your life dealing with the reality that your life or the life of your loved ones could be ended at the whim of a state-sponsored thug, and now that it's happening to the very people who ignored your plight, you're being judged for not reacting 'correctly'?

Because why did you not care until it was people that looked like you being affected?

I’ll wait.

yeah, the hosting is crashing. luckily AbeBooks can be used to buy a book from Dreamhaven

This is what "real" cops have looked like to Black and non-white people in this country the whole time.

These are the real cops, they're just not targeting solely minorities anymore.

Looking at this one all I could think was "regal" and it took a second to figure out that for me it was the cheekbones. Your contour work is insane.

You know that thing where you see someone and subconsciously fix your posture like "yes, your majesty."

That part

I’d be more enthusiastic if people were as committed to making sure we didn’t fall back into a status quo of less spectacular state violence aimed at marginalized communities if people didn’t seem so outwardly resentful towards marginalized communities raising the experience of such.

I think it makes sense for power banks to be the Anker of your power outage mitigation strategy

today on bluesky: white people confused that black people actually do not like being around them despite centuries of evidence to explain why

Right, because fascism famously goes away when you ignore it. Which is why it never reared its ugly head in America and why Germany, where they respond to it with public shame, is such a cesspool.

Uh, I meant INS*

My brain is irrevocably computer-poisoned.

Unrelated: that combat is so CRUNCHY! I'm in.

FUCK YEAH HE DESERVES IT

Delroy Lindo had better win. Personally I'd love a Sinners sweep (especially where it's up against OBAA), but I will crasheth out if he doesn't win.
