🧵 I don’t post these videos for clicks, drama, or followers. I share them because we have to stay informed. Fascism doesn’t arrive with fanfare—it creeps in, disguised, normalized.
What happened in Mission Viejo should chill every one of us.

Please watch & share this video. This state sponsored violence is hard to watch, but if we turn away & stay silent, we're complicit.
If it can happen to them, it can happen to you.
It's up to each of us to SPEAK OUT!
If you support the immigrant community reply with #OnYourSide to show you care.

Thanks to the advocacy of Black Alabamians and organizations like @allontheline.bsky.social, Black voters in Alabama will continue voting in fair congressional districts that allow them to elect candidates of their choice. This is a win for Alabama, and proof that progress is possible.
Alabama intentionally discriminated against Black voters in Congressional redistricting, judges rule
The court-ordered map, used in the 2024 elections, resulted in Alabama electing two Black representatives to Congress for the first time in history.

I've started to realize that Anne Frank and her family wouldn't have been safe around a lot of people I know and loved and once respected.
That's not something you get over.
