Rest in power, Mama Major! 💜🙏🏽

It was a blessing to live in the same earthly timeline as you. A true freedom fighter, you never stopped reminding trans people—especially Black trans people—of our worth and our power.

Because of Major, our foundation is unshakeable and our liberation inevitable.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Just an @angryblacklady.blacksky.app appreciation post.
I more proud of her each day than the last.
I love her each day more than the last.

She’s my absolute favorite human to do life with.

Imani has one arm behind her head, and she’s smiling my favorite smile at the camera.

This this this.
Especially knowing right wingers consider it a “win” when they encourage Black boys down the pipeline.

Skeeter Rabbit👩🏾‍❤️‍💋‍👩🏾 @makkkiiio.bsky.social · 6d

White boys aren’t the only ones consuming right wing red pill media, it’s a lot of black boys falling into the pipeline too and more parents should give a fuck about it

One of my current safe snacks is oatmeal crème pies, and I ran out yesterday. Today was a heavier than usual depression day, and Imani came to the rescue with these.

Homemade oatmeal cream pies with homemade espresso cocoa buttercream in the middle.

They are SO good.

It’s disheartening that Black people want a space to be among likeminded Black folks and not have to face anti Black racism from the likes of you?
That’s what has your feelings hurt?
And your reasoning is that you’ve *checks notes* say you, as a white woman, have experienced racism.
Girl. 😒

LegacyIngenue @emkaydub.bsky.social · 7d

This is disheartening. I want all races in my community and unfortunately I think this is racist. I understand the black community wants to be supported, it’s coming off as a one way street. I’ve encountered racism lately all from mentally unstable black women. Blacksky will further segregate people

"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tired—actually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage."

I write about white ignorance and how exhausting it is to hear white ppl insist "this isn't who we are, when it's ALWAYS who we've been.

White People’s Performative Ignorance Is Exhausting—Opinion

Disbelief over authoritarianism in America isn’t a cutesy personality trait. It’s a confession: You haven’t been paying attention.

From the dildos that brought you 303 Creative v. Elenis which was also a fake case

Mark Joseph Stern @mjsdc.bsky.social · 8d

I'm sorry but how does this person have standing to challenge Colorado's ban on LGBTQ conversion therapy when she has explicitly disclaimed any desire to change a patient's sexual orientation or gender identity? How is this a real case? slate.com/news-and-pol...

The Supreme Court’s First Blockbuster Case This Term Looks Pretty Fake

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in Chiles v. Salazar, a case that seeks to undo a major triumph of the LGBTQ+ movement.

The Supreme Court wants to allow conversion therapy so that's why we have oral arguments in Chiles v. Salazar this morning.

The Supreme Court wanted to allow Christian people to refuse to serve queers, so that's why they issued an advisory opinion in 303 Creative v. Elenis.

Everything is rigged.
