With the Trump regime, we're simply seeing the international application of the paper bag test.

🚩 When someone describes their event as a "safe space" 👀

One of my biggest pet peeves: Is when an African immigrant lyft driver plays the colonizer's worship music. I will rate you 3 stars AT THE MOST. 🤨

Turn the volume up. 😁 #TurnTheVolumeUp

To make sense of news nowadays, just remember: Cruelty is the point with these MAGAts. ESPECIALLY for anyone different than them.

I love that City of Gods explicitly states this: "Create, don’t appropriate. The following ‘costumes’ are strictly prohibited: Native American ceremonial headdresses, Blackface, and weapons. As a general guideline, do not wear somebody else’s ethnic or racial background as a costume!"

"You have four months to learn [Español]." Si papi. 😁

Sooo...lemme see if I understand this correctly... "States rights" as long as you agree with the state but... National Guard and Marines when you don't. Yeah, that's not a double standard... 🤨

Happy Pride!! 🥰

Pride PSA, especially for the cis gays: Just because a couple isn't a same-sex passing one to you doesn't mean they're both cis/het. So let's do our best not to perpetuate the erasure of our trans & gender-expensive, bi & pan, ace & aero, and more members of our community, this Pride & every month

Echo chamber - i believe you because your experience is the same as and reinforces my own Diverse groups of people - i believe you although your experience is not the same as and may even challenge my own There's a difference and we really need to stop letting people call the latter echo chambers

Artists exist without arts organizations. Arts organizations CAN NOT exist without artists. I don't think enough nonprofit arts orgs keep this in mind...

Not erasing history means including the simple fact that slavery in the United States happened. Yes, even if it makes you uncomfortable and makes you questions things like the nature of legality and patriotism.

Why does "meet people where they're at" usually mean: holding yourself back for those who've done little to no work, instead of encouraging them to catch up to those who've already done at least some of the work? Just wondering. 🤨

"I think of my late grandmother Lillian McCray quite often these days...She saw a lot, maybe too much. In one of our many long talks on her Yulee, Fla., porch she said of this country, “The only time you should be surprised is when you’re surprised.”" www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/o...

“most people in our sector have no idea what our handful of national organizations are doing to fight against this regime and advance our sector.”

So... let me get this straight... When the free market benefits other countries—even if it means some wealth flows out of the U.S.—that’s a problem... …but when a handful of billionaires extract massive wealth from everyday consumers, often in predatory ways, that’s totally fine? Did i get it? 🤨

About that trade war with Heard and McDonald islands...😅

Does he think the job market will just expand overnight to absorb all these federal layoffs? More people, fewer jobs—what could go wrong? 🤨

H/t Them Trans people to the front, today — and everyday! them.visitlink.me/UdSHj6 This is a pro-Trans space. And I won't claim to be safe but will work to be accountable. #TransDayOfVisibility #TDOV #TDOV2025

Exhausted by cis Black men making excuses for each other talking about "nuance"... You know who else talked about "nuance", when it comes to "privilege"? Slave owners.

It's frustrating being at a Black-led org with an ED who on one hand says that we're committed to DEI (or our "version", IDEA) but ALSO still regularly says that "telework is a privilege"...

Not a topic I was expecting to hear this afternoon, a rebroadcast from yesterday, but definitely recommended checking it out. www.npr.org/2025/03/21/1...

Want to built community spaces free from systemic 'isms? Maybe not 100 % safe spaces, but safer more accountable ones?

The fact that The Kennedy Center board has historically been NOTORIOUSLY bipartisan... ...this should tell you everything you need to know about the rights attempted and successful efforts to KEEP moving things their way.

Dear white people: If a group admin/moderator and/or community leader asks you to respond to something... ...the thing NOT to do is say "thanks but no thanks" and then call an attempt at accountability "toxic". 🤨

Millions are estimated to die because of USAID cuts... ...so don't let them call themselves pro-life EVER again.

How it feels sometimes... 😫

Artists expressing themselves is collectively and inherently political, even if what any individual artist creates and shares at any given moment isn't.

The anti-DEI crowd is always complaining about quotas, as if white supremacy and systemic racism hasn't been enforcing an unspoken, mostly (if not entirely) white quota since this country was founded.

The commodification of essential goods and resources needed for basic survival has surely got to be one of capitalism's greatest evils. Which is why I don’t get why some people regularly compare government institutions—from local to federal—to the private sector.

Just a reminder that it's never too late to learn. Many of us just want people to do better than yesterday, not to be perfect. I don't want people to fall down, but fall forward.

On this day, March 9: The original house party was released in the United States in 1990.

THIS part 🤨 The cognitive dissonance is WILD!!

Whenever some ku klux karen or kevin asks why we "always make everything about race," just say: "We don’t. We just notice when something is historically, mostly, or only white. Why don't you?"

This part...it was literally a different word... 🤨

A Happy Heavenly Birthday to Crispus Attucks. Born on this day in 1770 and of Wampanoag and African descent, Attucks is generally remembered as the first person killed in the Boston Massacre, and so is also the first casualty of the American Revolution. Rest in Power.

I ordered two books today!! Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler and I Won't Shut Up: Finding Your Voice When the World Tries to Silence You by @allyhenny.bsky.social.

Not enough youth organizations have addressed Adultism and how they've internalized that system of oppression EVERY young person is impacted by.

In today's episode of "Not the Onion"... ...you know what to do. 😉

Any other nonprofit peeps find it a bit ironic that the thing that has been asked for from funders more would've actually made all this anti-DEI stuff a non-issue? More General Operating Support. #KFSS #KeepFundingSimpleStupid

Not gonna lie... ...but it really seems like Musk believes he's Player One in a simulation made just for him. It just increasingly seems like the simplest explanation for his behavior. #PlayerOneSyndrome. Like #MainCharacterSyndrome, but worse. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

“These simple things we do to support one another, build community, and protect what’s good in the world, are just as important as the major actions”

What DEI means within the unique context of the United States and its territories:

Time to make a new definition of "merit" start trending: Mediocre Entitled Recipients of Institutional Traditions

Never. Like EVER.

Let's be clear: Claiming institutional and systemic racism no longer exists, so Black and brown folx must disproportionately do worse in life because they're Black and brown and should just "try harder"... IS RACIST!! 🤨

"It's ironic because trump firing a Black 4-star general as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff only to name a less qualified white man to the same job is the reason why DEI policies exist in the first place." - @covie_93

The only efficency most billionaires care about is how efficiently they can extract and hoard financial resources in a capitalist system. And other people are just another set of numbers to them, that will never matter to them as much as the ones on their ledger, if at all. #IWokeUpLikeThis

So...it seems like Trump spends more time with Musk than Vance... ...no shade to those who are into cuckholding, by i definitely didn't consent to seeing this EVERY DAY. Why are they throwing THEIR lifestyle in our faces? It's not natural. 😅
