This would not happen in a democracy, which is why, if we are serious about our commitment to it, we must accept we do not currently live in democracies and that moving towards such a system would require radical change rather than faith in the status quo

this is an area where I’ve been doing a lot of work over the last several years to root out entrenched ableism in my language and I’ve found “willfully ignorant” feels more accurate. it’s a deliberate choice about refusing to take in new information, read, learn, use logic, question beliefs

lol in conclusion: letting whiteness define the Black experience is like letting a fish define what it means to be a kangaroo, you have no idea what you're talking about.
Which means expecting white measures to define Black success is a fool's errand... at best. #blacksky

This is arguably a blueprint for how Black people should engage with the current moment if you ask me. We should allow our survival to inspire community, art, and intellectual thought that expands what opportunity is for us even amidst the chaos. #blacksky
Just finished this right after having read @hofrench.bsky.social's Second Emancipation, and it convinced me that the African & African diaspora anti-colonial thinkers of the 1940-1975 period constituted one of the great intellectual movements in the history of humankind.

It's funny that one of the things people learn as very small children is "you get better at doing the thing by doing the thing."
Everyone learns this as a small kid, it is very obviously completely true.
And using genAI manages to instantly make people forget it, and start arguing about it.

Two white friends tail me home if it's outside the hours when people are out and about. I'm damn near third generation Minnesotan. It's not just "you're a citizen you'll be fine." I'm a black woman alone. Who knows what they will do.
I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.
