Never forget that white people entrenched in whiteness will take everything but responsibility. Also, the way they talk about voting is starting to sound alot like prayer. That shit is really giving "You just didn't pray hard enough" energy. And that says much more about them than they realize.

No public service (education, health care, public transit, postal service etc.) should be run like a business. Business only serves investors. Public services serve the people. All of them.

People are comparing this photo to the 60s when most of you were actually alive in the 2020s when young Black people have essentially had to confront white cops in this same way.

The logic is that a rising tide lifts all ships. And regardless of all social advances, once again, won through Black liberation movements, we have remained in at the bottom rung of the social ladder. Black women, the backbone of our movements, the most educated demo in USA, remain in a double bind.

There are many stereotypes abt Black ppl. Most of them negative. But the ultimate truth about our legacy is simple. The legacy of the African American is that we won rights for every demographic. Every domino that fell, it began with Black liberation struggles. Freedom of movement? We gave you that.

I do think that every non-Black who questioned Black folks’ job qualifications. Claimed racism was no longer a problem. Was skeptical of AA. Said All Lives Matter. Victim blamed us. Believed they lost a job to DEI. You paved the way for generationally weakening your most reliable voting block.

The level of petty here is absolute art 😂

You’ll find the names and stories of the victims as best as we at L.A. TACO could research them. We hope this list offers a moment to remember these individuals. The full list: lataco.com/ice-death-tr... By Memo Torres, Aisha Wallace-Palomares, Izzy Ramirez, and Odessa Hairapetian

Everyday I am forced to contend with the fact that the real reason that we will never get out of this mess is because the ultimate dream of the liberal is a world of convenience in which the systems of oppression work so stealthily & effectively that they can ignore it while feeling like good people

The legislation would make Hawaiʻi one of the first states to sidestep the Citizens United U.S. Supreme Court case that allows unlimited corporate spending in local elections.

Deeply demonic. This is political retaliation.

Or... OR we could decriminalize sex work.

Indigenous women are 10 times more likely to be murdered or missing then any other demographic in the country. APTN’s Tina House takes us to a gathering held on Red Dress Day in Vancouver of family members of those that are still missing or were murdered.

Kyle Rittenhouse already has a deep necrotized crater where his soul should be, so the effects of this bite shouldn't be anything new to him. For everyone else who lives in the Brown Recluse's native range--generally the Sun Belt--please make sure to be very careful when unfolding clothes.

Like the vast majority of spiders (certain Australian psychopaths excepted) the Brown Recluse does not seek confrontation and will only bite if threatened or trapped. To use words Kyle Rittenhouse will understand, Brown Recluses have a Castle Doctrine and abide by strict Stand Your Ground laws.

Never forget that the Supreme Court helped in establishing whiteness into law by deciding who was white by constantly doing cases on who wasn't white. They made being white and whiteness, effectively, a legalized property space defined by being "morally sound."🫩🫩

600k a year, over 4 or 5 years, that’s getting up into the mass murder big leagues. Trying to unseat the big H.

this is not the first time this labeler has failed me but insulting the good name of this poor cat (on her *birthday* no less) is truly the final straw

Y’all pity our teenager, who just told their parents—a librarian & a professor of information science & English—that they couldn’t find 8 sources for a class writing assignment because “there’s basically nothing written about my topic”

Covid makes it very clear that our general level of airflow and air filtration is simply not sufficient to stop airborne viruses. But masking with respirators is *excellent* at it. And yet. There seems to be no change in protocol when an outbreak of a respiratory illness occurs.

Part of the reason (along with doing considerable direct harm) that disability activists and long covid patients have tried so bloody hard to get the rest of y’all to stop pretending the pandemic doesn’t exist is that it involves refusing to learn anything from it.

"Evacuating the two others suffering respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms, one of them the ship’s doctor, is now top priority..." The. Ship's. Doctor. 🙎‍♀️. The. Ship's. Doctor. 🙎‍♀️. If only there was protective equipment and some field of science and a principle guiding its use 🤷‍♀️

It’s not surprising that some white, so-called center-left commentators express their most conservative views when issues of race get implicated. They keep telling on themselves & keep making the point they seem so eager to escape: we aren’t the only ones influenced by the identities we possess.

This is a field that has its origins in experimentation on enslaved Black women and attempts to reduce populations of people of color. It feels dehumanizing, humiliating, and like torture because that’s how it was designed. And in many cases, it hasn’t been updated.

So, welcome to a thread of stuff that happens at the OB/GYN office that they don’t necessarily provide any pain management for, beyond maybe take a Tylenol or ibuprofen before you come.

Hey so if you’re a man with an XX partner or child that you care about, I need you to read this thread because shit is not going to change unless cis men start not being okay with this stuff.
