Gaslight just a few weeks ago. I may take a few days off social media because I can’t handle anymore betrayal and gaslighting.

Anyone tells me I need to praise him now or if I see any one who I thought I could trust praise him, I will feel hurt and betrayed being that I am a Black woman in America and all the things I listed in this long but needed post. I will not be gaslight just like marginalized communities were

Year that Haitian immigrants were eating cats and dogs, not renting to Black people years ago, leading an insurrection, lying about the Black men in the Central Park case years ago, leading the fight against reproductive rights, how he and MAGA treat the LGBT+ community, and the list goes on. If

Betrayed and heartbroken. Even though I want this war to end like most people do, this won’t change all the horrible, racist, and evil things Trump has done to America. With all the evil things Ice is doing, dismantling DEI, tariffs chaos, constantly stirring up hate and division, him saying last

I have something I’d like to say. I hope the Ceasefire Deal is true for Gaza’s sake. This war has been horrible. I’ll say this though, if anyone who I thought cared about me and anyone else in all marginalized groups starts praising Trump for this and saying his is great, I will be completely

Yes! I think so too! I think it’ll be double the amount of people there were last time, possibly triple!

Thank you! So is yours! I actually haven’t been super optimistic since last year when Kamala was running. I felt a little hopeful during No Kings back in June, but not this hopeful. I hope No Kings part 2 will be even bigger

I did too!

Thank you! I thought racism was as pretty close to being over back when Obama was elected too. I felt so hopeful and excited for the future for the first time. I’m trying to hold on to hope though that things will get better.

Hi Candace! Thank you! I’m not in Chicago, so I’m not sure, but I can try to research and find a local place. Sorry I’m not in Chicago, but I still feel rattled because I’m a Black woman, so I feel rattled that they’re coming for all minorities.

Hey everyone. I’m feeling pretty rattled today. I knew that Ice has been racially profiling people. I knew they would come after Black Americans as well. They came after Black Americans in Chicago this week. It was still so wrong even after they were released. I’m feeling rattled as a Black woman.
