There is no pathway out of this that does not run through whites collectively choosing to reject white supremacy. It will be uncomfortable, perhaps painful for some. The most effective medicine often is.
White supremacy will collapse. Will you survive it?

Police have always treated Black people with this level of violence.
We tried to tell you, but you wouldn’t listen. You insisted that there must be crime happening if police are present.
U.S. policing ✨causes✨ crime. Cops do not prevent or even demand justice when a crimes against a Black people.

Not wanting to participate in the cultural, environmental, and economic costs of compulsory car culture and suburban sprawl is being an Internet weirdo pass it on
I am extremely skeptical of this - in my experience real people, as opposed to internet weirdos, are generally much more concerned with size than location. Also the location tradeoffs are exaggerated. “You can’t get an affordable unit within 30 minutes of downtown” or whatever is almost always wrong

If Leader Jeffries faces a primary challenge from a progressive, every progressive in office should get on board.
His leadership helped led to a historic, unacceptable defeat in November ‘24 after taking millions from AIPAC.
It’s time for change.

Stitching girl power on the Klan costume just doesn't move me. My feminism says that if they want the power and the agency to get equal rights and pay for themselves? They deserve equal consequences for the terrible things they do or enable.

The bad: My new gig pays *monthly* at the end of each month and I'm starting at the beginning of the period, so I wont get paid until New Years.
There's 12% or $8407 left to close out this ENTIRE campaign. I REALLY need a hand to hold onto the gig.

If I can keep these gig contracts steady, the last 15% of this campaign (that I started in October 2022) will go to the bigger ticket items that I still need like neonate appropriate pulse oximeters, for ex., and my licensure exam fees.
This is what I came for.

Agree on principle, but I've also seen far too many white women use it to avoid confrontation after saying something racist and facing appropriate social consequences. So, your mileage may vary.
When a woman blocks you on social media, it‘s not about you. It’s not to punish you. It’s for her safety.
When you deliberately undermine safety features to try to force a woman who feels unsafe to continue to interact with you, & you make demands, that is harassment.

Other than naming a few post offices and voting with the NRA, hating immigrants was one of the key things he was known for before he decided he had to stop a woman from becoming president.
