adults tend to think children are not capable of complex thoughts or feelings and are incredibly cruel to them as a result. a little baffling as we all have been kids, and i'd wager most of us became familiar with suffering at an early age.

A package hasn't "shipped" if you've only "created the label"

They already are and quietly continue to, as the misdirection works. These stats are from 2022 but the Black Alliance for Just Immigration (BAJI) is an active organization. Dropping the link if anyone is interested in learning more about this! baji.org/who-we-are/

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Last month, the Tule River Indian Tribe purchased 17,000 acres of their ancestral lands where they are reintroducing tule elk. The purchase was partly funded by California’s Tribal Nature-Based Solutions Grant, which funds tribal land return projects. www.latimes.com/california/s....

In 1855 Elizabeth Jennings Graham brought a suit that initiated the desegregation of NYC transit. Raised by politically active parents (her was mother formerly enslaved, her entrepreneur father was awarded a patent in 1821) Ms. Graham was a teacher, organist, & kindergarten founder.

A note to say @blackamazon.bsky.social and her colleagues warned about this sort of thing many years ago.

we were chatting the other day and we decided that barry gordy and quincy jones are the pillars of music of the 20th century. without them, modern music would not exist today.

it’s so much easier to understand everything else when you accept this as the premise

& the BLACK people who call other black people names for not trusting this system or cheerleading their candidates get on social media and fake celebrate him every year.

I'm on it. It's Palestinian owned. I don't know why it's not getting any traction, but if we can make it happen, that would great share.upscrolled.com/en/post/e3b3...

We have lost every single internet platform that informed the world about what's really happening in Palestine. Every single one.

I’m so tired of people and this generative AI shit.

Viola Ford Fletcher, the oldest survivor of The Tulsa Race Massacre passed away. Let’s honor her memory by remembering her story

YouTuber “Schlep" built a huge following tracking down alleged child predators on Roblox before being kicked off. The platform is facing multiple lawsuits over child safety. www.wired.com/story/he-hun...

Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with: -No casus belli -No authorization from Congress -No allies or international support -No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela -No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

Why I don't trash people who refuse to leave X

It's kind of a damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don't situation. Yeah, Twitter is a Nazi bar, but Bluesky administration are actively complicit in genocide. No matter which platform we choose, we're implicitly offering support and popularity to some truly reprehensible scum.

And Black people

Campbell's getting exposed in peak canned goods season serves them right. I hope their Q4 is TRASH. No soups from them!

Campbell's Foods owns Rao’s, Prego, Angelos, Swanson, Lance, Snyders, Peppridge Farms, Archway, etc. Wow.

Alaska vowed to resolve the murders of Indigenous people. But when one nonprofit asked state law enforcement officials for a fundamental piece of data — a list of Indigenous murders they’d investigated — the state said no. With @adn.com

jfc. It was determined by a US judge that she could not be deported to Sierra Leone due to danger she would face in the country she fled. So they deported her to Ghana, a country she had never been to, and Ghana deported her to Sierra Leone. This country is fucking sick. Deeply deeply fucking sick

How I be feeling 😭

Hey guys so it’s the holiday season and I’m an unemployed single mother. At this rate I won’t be able to buy any girl any Christmas gifts. You have no idea how much that hurts me as her mom. I apply for jobs daily and get rejected daily. I’m just asking for help with employment. Please.

#HelpSky #MutualAid Francine's campaign had been stagnant for 2 weeks & a kind person helped get it moving. These two orphaned sisters rely on donations for their survival amidst the conflict in DRC that took their mum from them. If you come across this please read/ share /donate! goget.fund/3GZSsfn

Since 03/2023, I: *Moved countries x1 *Moved states x4 *Experienced variously legally actionable discriminatory work environments in 3 different hospitals * Had 9 different preceptors across 4 clinical sites *Kept a 3.92 GPA through poverty, housing instabilty and disability I am fucking FRIED.

"Abraham Lincoln and 600,000 white men died to end slavery!" False.... We freed ourselves

Asking for a boost as I’m preparing for a series of medical appointments and tests that will likely move my surgery date up. I see my surgeon next Monday.

Read a book! Read a book! Read a MF’n book! (Gotta be of a certain age to catch that reference LOL.) And if your budget is tight, for the love of all that is holy, get a library card!! You can literally read e-books on your phone! Audiobooks exist! READ SOMETHING!!

But when I say we are collectively being attacked by a death cult, people act like I’m tripping. EVERYTHING THEY DO directly or indirectly brings about death and illness. Once you accept that decimation & environmental collapse are their goals, things make more sense.

Jamil Al Amin, formerly known as H. Rap Brown has passed. Jamil was a political prisoner, an Imam & leader in the Islamic community, chairman of SNCC, Minster of Justice in the Black Panther Party. A revolutionary & a target of COINTELPRO and U.S. police agencies. Rest in Power

MLK, a whole reverend, has a day and a street in almost every city named after him here and yet everyone knows they don’t mean that kind of Christian.

Please share & give to help Hammam afford surgery for his injured mother. Healthcare is scarce & expensive under Israel's continuing genocide, which has left Palestinians homeless & starving in winter. Support has fallen a lot since the 'ceasefire':

Jimmy Cliff, Jamaican reggae singer, actor and cultural icon, dies aged 81

this is why so many voices and activists have said all along how important it is for people to understand terminology so we will not fall for it when it's used to manipulate and propagandize. since when do settler colonies EVER keep their ends of agreements with those they colonize?

White people think feeling responsible for racism in this country is the same as experiencing it and that's yall problem.

Just saw an update from Nour, he is still fighting for his childrens survival in Gaza. More on their story here, please, help them if you can!! chuffed.org/project/1354...

WTF 🤬 ICE in DC is setting up racially driven checkpoints and roadblocks. This is one on Canal Road. A large number of vehicles can be seen waiting to be towed after these agents disappeared their owners.

A day without bad news, please 😞 You remember Spiderdepot & her steadfast support of Ahmed. Sadly all her accounts have been banned, including the account for saving Ahmed's posts & helping his family She was working to help buy winter clothes for Ahmed's family. Share 🙏 Donate shorturl.at/c6z2y

Israel spreading this propaganda and slandering journalists that they know are in Gaza, as they are actively putting targets on their backs. This new feature doesn’t account for e-sims, vpn, or Allie’s or family abroad, sharing accounts .

Elon is letting people falsely accuse the journalists still remaining in Gaza of not being actually there, because his new glitchy location feature says they are in Poland. It’s a real mess that tech doesn’t account for VPN and if someone is sharing their account access w Allie’s abroad

Burn it all down

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
