Equality would have been easier. 🤷🏽♀️
How I know Black people know white people better than we know ourselves:
Black people said we would set our privileges on fire rather than extend them to everyone.
Now we have evidence. In 2024, white folks voted away our privilege of not being shot by the government.
Equity woulda been easier.

Two and half minutes. That’s all the time the CBS Evening News thought today’s events in Minneapolis were worth. Not even time to tell viewers what Alex Pretti did for a living.
The winter storm got 8 minutes.
NBC Nightly News spent 8 minutes, nearly half the show, on Pretti’s killing

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see.
Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him.
It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.

I find it wild that people are saying shit like "Why didn't we vote for Kamala." Then turn around and say "Jasmine Crockett is so _____ I'll never vote for her." Like do you not see the trend?!

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Real can’t see the forest for the trees energy with people yelling at/about dems in this moment. Hold them accountable, of course, but we are not where we are because of democrats. These are republican policies enacted by a republican administration. We are here because people voted for republicans.

I remain absolutely furious that all this shit in Minneapolis started because a barely-literate homeschooled mormon made a video trying to run up in daycare centers trying to find people of Somalian descent doing fraud despite the ringleader (a white woman) being in jail since March. Demonic.

The Second Amendment folks are gradually realizing that government thugs shooting Americans who are legally carrying firearms might not be in their best interest after all. 🤔
