it’s not ineptitude. it’s complicity.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

This is why I don't trust the people who are stirred to abolish ICE and only ICE

I wish people valued liberty over convenience.

i’m trying very hard to not be an asshole but the (somewhat) irony of doing the “say their name” thing for renee & alex so they won’t be forgotten while forgetting keith is something… no one was ever going to forget their names. but some have already forgotten his.

…and keith porter jr.

i haven’t been on much today but learning that someone else has been murdered by those cowardly bullies is disheartening. i don’t have the stomach to look more into it now. they are killing people with impunity. they don’t need to “provoke” a reaction in order to justify harming people.

fight for your rights or lose them. they’re not leaving much room for other options.

Mans look like the flag of Uruguay

The world was a much better place when you people didn’t know what “woke” meant

Oh he put my elders to shame 😂

So it's hilarious that 8 hours later people are still "Well now isn't the time." as though the last 250 years hasn't been full of that argument. If it is never the right time then it is always the right time.

only if that term is in hell. in that case, i’ll vote.

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

shoot them.

they are controlled opposition. where are the mamdanis?

Overheard in the Office: "How long have you been a hater? Was it your whole life?"

if you think that “abusive policing/racism” didn’t lead us to where we are now, you need to stop arguing with Mikki & pick up a book. bc WITHOUT the former, we wouldn’t have the latter now!

Y’all’s grandfathers flew around the world to fight Nazis as hard as they fought Black people moving into their neighborhoods. Miss me with the theatrics.

The reality is that we are only doomed to repeat history when we refuse to learn from it.

the people reacting so strongly to Mikki merely reminding everyone that what’s occurring right now is very much so painfully American is…astounding.

This is it exactly. The responses have shown me how many people would rather cling to a myth than actually do anything about the generational problem.

be the person who is horrified at ICE and who also mutes Will Stancil for calling out a smart woman for making an actually relevant point he just doesn't care about

i will never let the people who allowed for this to happen rest—even long long after it’s over.

and if you play with us about it, i swear you could have michael jackson double-dutching between whitney houston and prince and i still would never watch or support the oscars again.

yeah…that’s enough bluesky for today. gonna go read psalm 109 until i sweat.

here his bitch ass go.

“arrested children”. we cannot be fucking serious.

and when you do, we got something for your asses.

i want them [redacted]. publicly. there’s nothing i loathe more than weak ass bullies posturing as strong men.

elon looks like an ashy elbow in the face.

so i’m roaming around YT and i come across a video of a commentator (Black man, i’ll give name shortly) who is discussing a recent phenomenon of red pill men declaring that men are more attractive than women and i…

the reaction to the druski skit has been interesting to say the least. bc i feel like it’s one of those situations where if it doesn’t apply let it fly. so is the pushback really just those pastors feeling convicted???

Friendly reminder: if you have ADHD and you have periods, it’s not you! and youre not crazy! you’re just in your luteal phase! go easy on yourself, go to the doctor, and get medication if you can!

Update: i was able to lock in! i went to a cafe to work but all the workspaces were occupied so i went to the library and i was able to get a lot of my stuff done. i WFH so its really hard for me to get started at first but that helped. ☺️

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there. I need you to listen to these people. STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

i just wanted to remind everyone that elon musk is a little wimpy beta-zeta bitch and he is living proof that having all the money of the world isn’t enough to de-bitchify you or make people like you. also, he’s shaped like a nike shoe box. have a good day.

That was also my reaction whewww

TN House Rep Brian Terry, an anesthesiologist and Republican, just asked if there are any illegal immigrants on TennCare. The answer from the TennCare rep was no. He says the fraud taking place in the TennCare system is coming from the providers.

Imagine that

mmmm no.

I think there's a better answer.

Mamdani: I am in support of abolishing ICE… I'm tired of waking up every day and seeing a new image of someone being dragged out of a car, dragged out of their home, dragged out of their life.

Stop trying to make dysfunction okay... find the resolve to flip the tables Find the courage to hope through work... the security of the people.

fighting the ADHD urge to ignore work today bc i’m beginning to feel overwhelmed w my workload even though realistically i know it’s not that much and i can knock most of it out today.
