ICE deported a 5-year-old US citizen to Honduras, where she had never been, after holding her & her mother in a hotel room 80 miles from home for several days and not allowing them access to a lawyer www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
I don’t care who it is. Mental health issues do not make someone a bigot and it’s not an excuse for dangerous, harmful, or abusive behavior
People have psychotic episodes every day without being a bigot, or engaging in sexually inappropriate and/or abusive behaviors
Whenever you're accused of being "Un-American," remember:
Jefferson Davis said abolitionists "lacked patriotism & moral principle"
The KKK said "America First" meant "love of country"
J. Edgar Hoover said MLK was "motivated by hate for America"
SHES SO CUTIE!! kiss her for me!!!

Acknowledging unchecked white supremacy would require a lot of self reflection and criticism which I don’t think a lot of people actually want to do😭
Europeans losing their shit about Trump. Everybody is starting to understand how bad this is. But we're still trying to blame random people instead of agreeing to face the real problem. Unchecked white supremacy.
hiiii👋🏾 I can never stay consistent on this app lmao. How are you???
I didn’t realize I was autistic until my also autistic friend pointed out that my hyper fixation is Black American history and I will not stop talking about it once I get started. I just thought everybody would be as obsessed with it as me lol
it’s the athletes and their white wives that got white people thinking that
I have been told that this undercover ICE agent tried to get observers to scan a QR code “for his website”. The QR code did not resolve to a link.
DO NOT SCAN UNKNOWN QR CODES FROM STRANGERS.
This is a massive security risk! Bad things can happen to you if you do it!
Stay frosty, friends.
I’m ngl I’m not really gonna take anyone who doesn’t want to acknowledge slavery and the Confederacy seriously. We really can’t even begin to untangle what’s happening in this country in a real, substantial way without unpacking that first
Are there any techies-turned journalists out there who would be willing to chat with me in dms about your career journey/trajectory?👀👀
Pastors working for ICE
Sex workers running mutual aid for immigrants
Which one looks more like Jesus???
My ultimate dream is to be a journalist and documentarian. I would so love to cover the Black American diaspora and our individual and shared cultures across the country. This is why I want to minor in Journalism once I pursue my degree.
I’m still trying to figure out how to fund this degree tho😭
I’m noticing more folks on Threads tbh!!
Finding your people is hard. Especially if you're not sure they even exist. But don't ignore that feeling that you're out of place in your current circles. When you feel accepted and valued for being exactly who you are, those are your people. Keep looking.
I must say I don’t think we talk enough about the effect that had on this country
Just realized today is January 6th
Where are black people in tech congregating? Is it still Twitter? Bc I can’t stand that app now.
Also would love to know of some irl/virtual community groups too

It's okay to note that he's the first Asian American mayor of NYC. 🥰

It's a good thing to believe in ideals and fight for them.
Yeah I hate that it happens to so many of us. Almost everyone in tech has experienced something like this at some point in their career😭💔
Unfortunately too many people are going through the same thing rn😭💔
