So maybe when I say that some of your faves are openly racist pieces of shit.
Where they romanticize the abuse and abandonment of Black people and get rewarded
And they use “Balkanization” to diminish the experiences of Black theory and expertise

This wasn’t even true in the 1800s civil war the north was also racist.

We all need external validation. Colonialism’s hyper focus on individualism is why ppl think otherwise. Humans are social animals we develop our internal/external view on how we experience each other. And that’s also why everyone is so lonely…b/c yall don’t think that validation matters…but it does
I wanna know some controversial takes y’all have 👀

White people will continue to "respectfully" their way into authoritarianism. And they are legitimately confused why we don't wanna do the same.
Today's experience confirms my fear that BlueSky is just another filter bubble where people pile onto anyone who disagrees with the orthodoxy. It's like an equal-but-opposite X.
We need a platform where people can disagree respectfully. Wrote about it a while back:

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.
Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Steve Bannon whipped up the CPAC crowd by talking about the possibility of Trump staying in office for a third term—and concluded his speech by giving a provocative gesture that resembled the controversial salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally last month.

The president himself has suggested the idea of staying in office many times since moving back into the White House.

I don’t understand the logic of people who want democrats to win, but put more effort in haranguing anyone with criticisms of the party so they improve to get more votes.
Cause the current strategy is to let people suffer enough under republicans enough that Dems look better by comparison

Gaza has already been leveled by Biden. The difference between Biden and Trump is that the former wanted to ethnically cleanse Palestinians by killing them, the latter wants to ethnically cleanse Palestinians via forced deportation. Both are evil. Palestinians want you, Americans, to object to both.
Trump talking about leveling Gaza and emptying it out has always been the plan obviously, but hearing him say it out loud is still shocking.

We have to make this as painful as possible at the committee level. Send everyone you know in Louisiana the StopRFKjr.com link, and ask them to call Bill Cassidy. Their coalition is fracturable.

Tyrants have access to our data. Here to help. If you haven’t already, contact all three credit bureaus to freeze your credit at all of them. It’s free.

A large crowd gathered in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday in response to the recent increase in ICE raids and deportations.
The protest initially began on Olvera Street, and grew to a few thousand people who marched to City Hall before walking onto the 101 Freeway.
