It’s wild how words change depending on who’s affected.

When drugs hit Black communities, it was a “crack epidemic.”

When drugs hit white communities, it became a “health crisis.”

That’s what we call a dog whistle. The language changes when the skin color does.

I recently saw a post where someone’s 5th grade kid brought home worksheets about this guy. The worksheets painted him as some type of saint further whitewashing his racist legacy. I wondered why a certain segment was so adamant about lionizing a guy sane people know was a tool and vector of WS 1/

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.

I've been wondering why Dominion Voting Systems suddenly reached settlements with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and One America News.

Turns out, it's been purchased by a Republican-owned election tech firm that insisted on it, per Axios.

"Democrat programs" = anything he can't put directly into his pocket
Does this mean I get the taxes I paid for these programs back? (I'd rather have the programs than the taxes, TBC)

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

BIIITCH!!!! "Mentally unstable Black women"? What was mentally unstable was the majority of white women voting for Trump after he took away reproductive rights. We need our own spaces because you bitches are fucking dangerous. You have and continue to get us killed. Not today Satan.

LegacyIngenue @emkaydub.bsky.social · 3d

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

1/? On her instagram, this creator had the unmitigated gall to accuse a Black woman of being "scared" to come outside. We aren't being "scared". We are being smart. See my analysis of the movie "Sinners". Remember the Asian woman, Grace?Yeah, she got everyone killed.

When people say they don't understand white privilege. This is the ultimate example of white privilege. A 34-time convicted felon can become POTUS and then go after the Black Attorney General who prosecuted him for another case. No Black person, not even President Obama, has that privilege or power.

New York Attorney General Letitia James @newyorkstateag.bsky.social · 1d

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

The fact that so many US citizens have no idea Bad Bunny is also a US citizen (and don't believe he can be a US citizen) tells you that when they say "citizen," they really just mean white.

Unless we fight to rebuild the Black and Jewish alliance & fight against the antisemitism & racism in the DEM party. I worry what will happen going forward in the future. We must get all hands on deck to strategize to defeat the extreme Nazism and racism in both parties and take it back from them 1/
