Hello new and potential followers. I'm Ebony. I teach Spanish in GA. Come for my thoughts and occasional activity related go teaching Spanish, stay for the hot takes, fit checks, makeup recs, reflecting on the Good ess of God/Jesus & 90s pop/boyband musings
When I want inspiration, I listen to gospel music, read my Bible or watch a Ted Talk. When I want to make my voice heard and make sure things happen in my community that I cannot do as an individual, I vote. Y'all gotta stop wanting Hollywood warm and fuzzies from politicians.
I just don’t see how anyone can look at how things are going in this country right now and be okay with letting it continue because the other side didn’t “inspire them” enough.

🚨 #GVerse Wow! Sen. Ruben Gallego becomes one of the first U.S. Senators to call for #FuckICE to be DISMANTLED.

“I think ICE needs to be totally torn down. People want immigration enforcement that goes after criminals…not the goon squad from Stephen Miller…”AMEN!

I feel like this pretty much sums up the rot at the core of American civic life as a whole.

“Hold the fuck up, cowboy. I signed up for the great power, not the great responsibility when I signed up for the church/media/government/think tank complex/etc.”
can u imagine being not only a baptized christian but an ordained priest and then, when NPR asks you about the Bishop of New Hampshire's comments last week, what you find to say is "I didn't sign up to be a martyr"??

Republicans won because they were ultra right-wing Nazi enough?

Bollocks.

Republicans won because Democratic voters could not be arsed to vote for a woman. Twice.
If Dems aimed for the left instead of trying to hit the center right they might not have lost the last election so spectacularly.

One thing is for certain: If we're able to have another presidential election, we can at least cancel the debates.

No need. You seriously cannot debate this level of lunacy. You either want the United States back or you don't. It's that fucking simple.

"Multicultural" churches that tell you "your whole identity is in Christ" or some other form of yt washing, RED FLAGS.
One of the tell-tale signs of religious cults (bc I’ve OBSESSIVELY studied them) is isolation. And the way the isolation is done is simply by saying “hey we are the only good thing here THEY are evil. Very evil. And you have to come to us to be pure and not evil.” And that’s the basis of the msgs.

MAYBE I am just not privy to it but I have NOT personally seen or witnessed a mass denouncement of members of the historically white organizations. And this isn’t shade towards them, it’s moreso acknowledging a trend that’s attacking organizations that has overwhelmingly served minority communities.

Bc trust me, I know people who decided they no longer wanted to be in their org and they had their reasons and that’s fine. Ya know what they did? They simply and quietly let it go lol. The PUBLIC denouncements scream deeper issue — one rooted in attention-seeking, insecurity, and cultism.

That should’ve said **creating false narratives.

…join the org then IMMEDIATELY denounce so they can have infiltration/access to information they otherwise wouldn’t be privy too. There’s some prettyyyy consistent evidence of all this and it’s ultimately rooted in anti-blackness, idolatry, & the type of separation &moral superiority we see in cults

ICE are nasty ass child kidnappers, like after school special style
Thanks. We have folks in our community giving vulnerable students rides to school, and a teacher shared that they were putting small stuffed animals on their dashboards to help kids identify safe cars. ICE picked up on it and started doing the same. Horrifying.

And before someone says it, the standard US christian church is a white institution. Argue wit my great granny.
