You are future Ancestors. Act accordingly.

The metaphor of taking a wrecking ball to the White House feels a bit on the nose.

And this too: “This country needs and deserves to have the racial reckoning it clamors for. Can y’all do us a favor tho? Leave the Blacks out of it. This ain’t our fight. We’re already on the side of and justice for all." jackiesummers1.substack.com/p/when-the-r...

And this: "Freedom is not something you are given; it is something you claim. Equality is a prize torn from the blood-soaked hands of your oppressors." jackiesummers1.substack.com/p/how-to-bea...

Today feels like a good day to repost this: "When you’ve never had to bleed for freedom, you don’t know how to protect it. You expect laws to hold what only sacrifice ever could." jackiesummers1.substack.com/p/the-price-...

This feels appropriate for today. #NoKings

I keep hearing about how this country is 'more divided than ever' yet the division was never among Black people. We already know we're human and we stopped needing to prove that to anyone long ago. jackiesummers1.substack.com/p/when-the-r...

Writing is seppuku. A good editor is your kaishakunin.

If I’ve known you since my 40s technically you’re a childhood friend.

"Uncle Web worked in waste reclamation for NASA—he helped figure out how humans defecate and urinate in zero gravity, without soiling your instruments, or yourself. No one is making a movie about my great Uncle Web, it was literally a shitty job." jackiesummers1.substack.com/p/justice-fo...

Enslaved Africans didn't gain freedom by sending stern letters to their enslavers.

Don’t dare call it freedom if it came without a receipt. If your freedom didn’t come with grief, it came from someone else’s. And if it feels free to you, it's because someone else already paid. #IndependenceDay #July4th #Freedom jackiesummers1.substack.com/p/the-price-...

The “supreme” court Has Always Been Terrible: A Brief Retrospective 1857: Dred Scott v. Sanford Dred Scott held that African Americans, whether free men or slaves, could not be considered American citizens. Guess what: we are now, fuckers.

Oh look unjust laws that's a first in this country 🫠

Ever wonderwhat you would tell a younger version of yourself? Before now no younger version of me was smart enough to listen. I’m finally at the age where I’m seeking my own advice. I finally trust myself; the field has coalesced enough density to hold not just math but myths. #BarWorld100
