re: the usefulness of protesting, labor unions are among the most consequential organizational bodies you can participate in. thats why theyre being targeted so aggressively. this is a reminder for me as well lol

I think there were a lot of first time protesters out there today because there’s millions of people that know this is all gravely wrong and they don’t know what else to do. It would be nice if opposition leadership could show half the passion.

it can be simultaneously true that protesting alone is not enough, and that getting millions of people into the streets is still a good thing to do.

I really love cosplay. It's just unfortunate that the cosplay community still has a HUGE ableism and anti blackness issue. People in the community often say cosplay is for everyone. But if you speak about the issues, people will try to harass & discredit you.

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people.

We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.

The vast majority of hiphop artists are anti Trump. Yea, MAGA rappers exist, but they have zero cultural currency in hiphop communities. The only fans MAGA rappers have are racists who don't know anything about hiphop. youtu.be/OZV38Rx4has?...

If you're asking why more rappers aren't speaking out in Trumps second term, it's because so many of us warned y'all about Trump the first time, and were ignored. Despite what legacy media would have you believe, more than any other genre, hiphop has always been on the frontlines of the resistance.

Y’all gotta go read books. There’s no way around it.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is not a “skeptic” of vaccines. He has said there are no safe or effective vaccines. He is a foe of vaccines.

Latest book haul. In my house, we don’t call it CRT. We call it history, and we learn about the things that define us as people.
