I wish white people wanted to say “excuse me” as much as they wanna say “nigga”

This whooooole thing !!! 😲👏🏾

The most high-profile kidnapping case of our time is still unsolved and Kash Patel is slamming beers in the locker room with US men's Olympic hockey team.

Here's a suggestion-let's listen to Black & Brown folks with Tourette's. Let's talk about systematic racism & ableism and how they work together in service of white supremacy. Center Black & Brown people with Tourette's and Black & Brown disabled people & de-center whiteness.

‼️👇🏾

eight stages of white settler colonial denial if you're not white you may be guilty of repeating or reinforcing some of this. pay attention.

Intent does not measure impact If his wheelchair rolled over my foot, he would need to apologize If he hit me with his cane/mobility device, he would need to apologize & if in his 50s he knows that his Tourette’s may allow racial slurs on his mind to be vocalized, he should not have attended

We might not be able to stop racist shit from occurring, but we can absolutely make sure they don’t get to do it in peace.

thinking about that post from some white person that was like "so you mean if a white Make-A-Wish kid wanted to say the n-word you would tell him no?" white people take gold silver AND bronze at the mental gymnastics it takes to justify shit like this istg

If you oppose the construction of ICE prisons, it’s a good time to also oppose jail construction, even when framed as “improvements” or “updating existing facilities”

Black people with Tourette's don't get awards from royalty or biopics. They don't even get proper treatment.

People ain't this nice when folks got a toddler at the movies or on the train acting up, that's for sure

Anti-Blackness is truly global. The commitment to make sure that Black people never find peace anywhere is unmatched. But time and time again, it has failed and will continue to fail. We survive and thrive in the midst of a world that wants us gone.

This info was kinda missing from the conversation yesterday. "The comment, although not clearly audible, was featured in the BBC’s coverage of the ceremony, which was pre-recorded on a two-hour delay before broadcasting on BBC One." Pre-recorded, two-hour delay. They edited out a "Free Palestine".

And the other sad thing about this is: How Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo respond to being called the N-word on a global stage will likely impact their careers. If they make the white masses too uncomfortable in their response, it could have career-long consequences. Think about that.

tag the mutual who you don't know wtf they're saying half the time but you love em anyway

Gaza is under shelling at this moment. Right now, we are being hit by heavy bombardment!!

i like when the same posts show up around the same time every year. it's like the social media equivalent of putting up decorations

The push back to this idea is so… neoliberal, rise and grind, hyper-individualist. “You don’t need anyone, validation comes from within” thanks, thatcher To some, artistic expression is communication and conversation. A one sided conversation gets old fast. Eventually, you stop talking all together

every fighting game character who can't produce fireballs should be given a gun

they should invent a place to share creative work with people all around the world that can't be stolen by genAI

seriously considering blocking white people using the word unc. it's gotta stop somewhere. it could stop with me. fucks sake

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

👇🏾 also functionally i don't think anyone believes "make it for yourself" cuz you can do that and people will hate it if it's bad i think people say "make it for yourself" because it's the most likely way for your highest ability to shine through, but what's scary is people could still hate it

Lina Om Sham feels she is fading away.

some rainbows for your workweek

i'm so anti-tech i don't even use the Internet. hell i didn't even skeet this. you made this skeet up in your head. on my behalf. how dare you do that, knowing I don't even use electricity. the nerve

Cue it up....

OPINION: "The outrageous lies of Trump regime, from ICE shootings to a Commerce Secretary's Epstein falsehoods, must be punished ... America desperately needs truth and consequences." — Inquirer columnist Will Bunch

shit like this is why we NEVER should have fucking tolerated "you have to show your ID at an airport" security theatre after 9/11; I FUCKING REMEMBER SAYING AT THE TIME, and note that I was LITERALLY IN HIGH SCHOOL, that in 10-20 years you'd see grown-ass adults saying shit like this

today i realized Karoline Leavitt and Pam Bondi are different people. i've been seeing them at different times and my brain thought they were the same person

I do not want to “thrive in a fast-paced environment.” I want to thrive in a slow, chill environment. An environment with a pillow fort and tea and cookies and boobs and some nice music.

I got in SO MUCH trouble for this hugely viral tweet back in 2018 (from MAGA types mostly) but I stand by it (and in fact at the time the Auschwitz Museum defended me when people yelled at me that Auschwitz was a “death camp” not a concentration camp). My DENTIST congratulated me for this one

TBH I have had exactly this conversation exactly about “troops in the streets attacking Americans” and then quibbling over whether ICE (in more elaborate gear than we give our actual soldiers) counts as “troops.”

insisting on calling every mass day of protest or one-day boycott a "general strike" is not the move. it's good to see people rallying around the cause, it matters, but if you want to be part of a large-scale labor action that shuts down the gears of capital, start by unionizing your workplace!!!

4 Black journalists have been kidnapped by the federal government

"in theater"

I keep seeing posts going "when ICE comes to MY city, we'll be out in the streets even harder" and man, I get that sentiment but I need everyone to understand that the work in Minneapolis is partly confrontational but MORE IMPORTANTLY aaallll the stuff organized in the background to help neighbors

This shit made me cackle out loud 💀

and it always sounds like SHIT

Ok but Gen Z slang? You mean white teenagers sounding awkward mashing together AAVE phrases that have been around since long before they were born?

i do not need more videos of white people screaming in their cars about how "THIS IS NOT NORMAL". if they're only now waking up, all it indicates to me is they detect a threat to the wages of whiteness. the last ones to catch on aren't moral. they're selfish. understand that.

Black women should be heard, loved, and protected.

There really is too much body shaming amongst humans. I don’t know how to fix it and I’ve done my share but we collectively have to do better.

Yeah. I've always had to care bc I'm an immigrant in part and also as a latina trans woman but Deborah was brunching along just fine while people I knew got deported. She doesn't care about us at all, she's selfishly only saying something now because white people are now getting similar treatment.

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

I literally was in immigration court as a 5 year old but I'll have shitlibs fully become conservatives the moment I talk about democrats also being complicit in the torture and oppression of my people. They'll be so abusive, call me insults short of slurs, call me tankie. They can't fathom life.
