I want to be crystal clear: anyone who supports Trump or the Trump regime is a white supremacist. This includes all white people who are silent because you "don't want to upset people," or "aren't sure about the issue." I'm white, and I refuse to uphold this white supremacist culture. #Resist

Guess who just got both the updated COVID vaccine and flu shots today? Your dear Leader Trump. Maybe you should get them too.

It's hilarious that the same people who claim that their families never owned slaves and their family came here as immigrants get upset when someone posts the truth about America's racist & violent past.

Why do they agree to erase history they had nothing to do with? 🤔

This. Also, the writings of Paul make him appear to be a horrible person: supremacist, patriarchal, misogynistic and classist at the very least. Not sure why his writings were included in the New Testament except to uphold all of these oppressive biases.

WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK 🤡. He really does think penises are the beating heart of the entire world

What's really strange is that so many people think health insurance costs are only going to go up for "directly affected" people. Once 20 million or so people are forced out of insurance so aren't sharing premium costs, the costs for everybody will skyrocket. 🤬

Kay Coughlin @kaycoughlin.bsky.social · 3d

Damn straight. The folks who are the worst cynics are the ones who stand to lose nothing [white males & the naive or brainwashed people who think the white male-first systems will protect them]

Kay Coughlin @kaycoughlin.bsky.social · 3d

Two kinds of people let liars get away with lying repeatedly, and for very different systemic reasons: (1) cowards who have power but choose comfort instead, and (2) the oppressed who have no individual power so must rise up in community if they want things to change. #Resist

Kay Coughlin @kaycoughlin.bsky.social · 3d

Ok, I phrased that poorly. Still, the point is valid. Who has standing and is willing and has resources to sue?

Kay Coughlin @kaycoughlin.bsky.social · 3d

Lastly, if you don't give a damn for white people who have never prorested, I'm not here to tell you you're wrong. Yet we white-bodied have resources including the privilege of safety. It's going to take ALL of us to meet community needs open.substack.com/pub/kaycough...

Remember: (1) the only way to become a seasoned protestor is by doing it; (2) white-bodied people like me are still in no real danger so we can & should show up & learn & get active open.substack.com/pub/kaycough...

Organizing is a muscle and the only way to build the muscle is by doing it. If you find yourself venting about how inept white-bodied protest beginners are, I beg you to reconsider. We need EVERY body protesting right now. open.substack.com/pub/kaycough...
