Sometimes we have to sit with the grief and sadness and let it flow thru us. Cry out the times we couldn’t help someone more. Cry out the death and pain we haven’t been able to stop even as we have had to watch it everyday. Grieve to make space for the rage. Grieve to make space for the resistance

The air feels so heavy right now. Heavy with grief. Heavy with despair. Heavy with loss. So many people fighting against insurmountable obstacles. So many folks carrying emotional despair. Don’t let the social media performances delude you. For far too many, It’s a really difficult time.

At this point, I ain’t got nothing healing and loving to offer fam. We just need to run up in the streets. Without a permit. Because this is unacceptable at this stage of human existence. We all fucking know better.

We're all being held hostage by this administration.

everything we are seeing now is the consequence of having a political environment in which indifference to the deaths and suffering of other people - even by the state whose supposed responsibility is to safeguard their welfare - is a superpower rather than a political liability

Still thinking about all the folks back in 2023 who didn't want to talk about Project 2025 in hopes it would just blow over.

If you think this is exhausting, imagine being Iranian.

A system truly rooted in rigor and accountability would never allow a dictator to rise. Only performative systems that sway ethically with the sunrise— sullied by the shadows of the unaccounted sins of their fathers can make this real. A grand disappointment to humanity.

He echoes the literal words of the conquistadors and colonizers. Destroy a whole civilization?! No one with this state of mind should ever be given the power to lead

I am so tired of this man, still not being held accountable and removed from power.

Only accountability can break a curse.

Epstein and the men around him Are just a continuation of a long standing history of European American men violating women and men’s bodies for power and control

Make no mistake, reparations and restoration has not been done, because most do no believe inherently that they did anything wrong. They believe they “won” - and it’s just life. They have no ethic that holds them to what their forefathers have done.

The spiritual institutions that taught Europeans to see themselves separate from nature, land and the cycles of spirit set the stage for the murderous rampage of colonization that continues today.

To hang children and celebrate it. To set humans on fire. No group in the world is more troubled then many of the descendants of Europe who are so disconnected and in pain they will murder and bleed all over us rather than face the deep generational distress in themselves

The early colonizers were never held accountable. The patterns they produced were never healed nor interrupted. Do u know what u have to be to hate the way they hated? To murder whole civilizations? Rape, kill children en masse? What do u have to become to do that?

European Americans need to find their culture. Whiteness was made to erase ur identity. You have a heritage beyond consumption. Need to learn from the grandmothers & elders of Italy, Spain, Ireland, Britain- those who still hold vestiges of ur lineage that are connected to land and spirit.

Until the descendants of Europe in the Americas heal the lineage of murder, racism, death and colonization in themselves and their communities- this cycle of denial and delusion will continue on for infinity.

I know there's a lot going on But what the US is doing to Cuba is unconscionable

The lawsuit concerned allegations that Meta covered up its platforms’ impact on children's mental health and its knowledge of child exploitation online.

I'm sorry, I'm just so mad. "The Iran fiasco." They bombed five hundred fucking schools and three hundred medical centers.

My latest. "The only place I know how to begin is here: We are at war, and I want it to stop."

Dear Liberals, we are not gonna “gala” white supremacy away. My lord.

And still in a world where these white supremacists are decimating our lives, people are incarcerating people who express they don’t want to be here and have ideations. Can u believe?!??

The world has to be safe for people to express suicidality & I know you're not gonna like it, but the answer's not for people to fear getting locked up if they express their pain, or to have to keep it hidden because no one can tolerate it. Let people express the depths of their sadness freely.

the amount of good ms. rachel puts out into the world is immeasurable. she is so much closer to something divine than many men who claim to be holy.

@olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social See this? Self-care, collective care, solidarity, political organizing, and cardio all at once. bsky.app/profile/iwil...

“Black women are far more likely…to be diagnosed with conduct disorder or oppositional defiant disorder instead of ADHD…An ADHD diagnosis opens doors to accommodations, medication, and targeted support. But a conduct disorder label limits access to services and reinforces stigmatizing perceptions.”

Waking up pissed is a good sign. It means you are present and paying attention. We not “regulating” ourselves into compliance. We need to stay mad until these men are no longer in power destroying the world

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico jury finds Meta's platforms are harmful to children's mental health and imposes $375 million penalty.

Its no coincidence that just as healing justice movements gain more viability-we are met with the rise of anti-healing forces- hatred, division, greed, pedophilia, white supremacy. Everything we do is making them obsolete & they are battling to hold the world hostage to their fear based imagination

Ain’t no healing and mental health in 2026 that don’t involve resisting these white supremacists

They are holding children in concentration camps. Terrorizing the world. Cutting rights and access to Trans folks, women, disenfranchising voting- and vying to fund an army to suppress the uprising they know is on its way. These men are the closest thing to demons on earth.

It’s as easy as shutting your effin mouth! And did I mention… it’s free?!

Men have the best PR. Literally they are destroying the planet. Most likely to kill, murder, rape and pillage. Literally lowers your life expectancy in relationships and people are still like “so when you gonna get a man?” sis NEVER. I’m tryna LIVE😂🫠😩

We have a lot of work to do; in learning to hold Black women and femme folks violence- whether psychological, spiritual or physical—and name it without the misogyny or transphobia. There are too many instances of women harming folks and using gender as a mechanism to avoid accountability.

People who don’t apologize don’t evolve emotionally

Non binary life is wild. I’ll be in Black queer women’s spaces and feel so at home & then something will shift to remind me- of my difference—I’ll be in mens spaces and be like what the hell are yall on? and then something will remind me this is apart of me too. But neither is home. #BorderlandLife

Resist Regulation as compliance. Make the rhythm of your own body. Let no state or wellness entity determine the beat or key of your being.

Living at the borderlands of gender will always be a journey. There are so many parts of me that feel more connected to the experiences and culture of Black queer women. And there are parts of me that can hold my male socialization and appearance; but I don’t feel like either. borderland life.

There are people who do horrible things and simultaneously do wonderful things. We are at an impasse on earth with understanding this.

Intimacy in American is dying because people’s expectations are increasingly unrealistic & over idealized. A partners role is not to worship you, to be ur peace (be ur own), or to whimsy ur every need. A partner moves with u beside u, through mutually and reciprocity.

They want you to forget that so many of our ancestors escaped. They want you to forget the strongholds and maroon communities we made in Mexico, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico. They want u to forget the maroon communities in Brasil. But many of us got free. And still are.

The rhythm of your body that brings you joy is your regulation.

Regulation is personal- it is our own unique equilibrium. It is not about acquiescing to an ableist standard; but about finding our own personal rhythm that rests & eases our nervous system. Mine will not be urs. Yours will not be mine.

May all the survivors of movements past, and the survivors of movements present- be liberated from the silences that protect people who abuse, violate and assault our communities. May our world make it safe for all of us to speak.

Living in this body has taught me a lot about how a perceived gender can make people imperceptive to the wholeness of who you are. Grateful for the grandmothers and the Black queer women in my life who always reminder me that they see me.

Life has taught me lately- how easy it us for us to keep secrets to keep movement moving while people who are abusive and harmful lead. A reminder: no movement led by someone who is not willing to address or be accountable to their behavior is ever going to get us the liberation we desire.
