My child just sent me a text about a book by a white guy named Sam Forster who said the following:

"Last summer, I disguised myself as a Black man and traveled throughout the United States to document how racism persists in American society.

Writing Seven Shoulders was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done as a journalist.”

Ummm, WHAT???

@mzedp I’m not enraged.

When SCOTUS fucks us over during the month of June, you’ll see just how DANGEROUS it is to NOT VOTE.

@StillIRise1963 Bad news-SCOTUS is trash. Good news- my dad's voting in November, the 1st time in 40 years.

I need to see this white guy’s Black “disguise” IMMEDIATELY.

@mloxton The Black “disguise” to see the racism that appears to be otherwise invisible? Idk.

@StillIRise1963 It should be forced to be the cover of the book and in all coverage of it as a minimum.

Who’s going to tell the Pope that apologizing for the “vulgar term” means little now that we know how he really feels about gay people.

@StillIRise1963 I think it’s funny that people have bought into the narrative that this pope is reforming the church. He’s not and never has been. He’s just into optics.

When her colleagues and friends take away our rights and destroy democracy, Sonia Sotomayor is going to go in her office and cry. What are you going to do?🤔

@StillIRise1963 If I were a liberal justice I'd resign instead of continuing to legitimize that institution with my presence, but hey what do I know

@inquiline I hear you, but that might do even more harm.

After speaking with CVS🙄 , I’m on hold with my insurance company trying to get a prescription filled one week early since I’m leaving for a month. They want me to pick it up the day I’m off to the airport. NOPE. wtf.

@StillIRise1963

The hurdle for well-read people, because you ask yourself how can it be, what is?

To be or not to be, that is the question: whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer. To endure the slings and arrows of furious fate, or to reach for the receiver against a sea of telephone questions. And to end them through resistance.

(in respectful reference to William Shakespeare's Hamlet)

“Not conservative enough” has always meant not racist enough.

Oggie,
@Oggie@woof.group avatar

@StillIRise1963 It's funny because there was this coded term that used to be used all the time, 'fiscally conservative' which sort of meant 'well I just don't want to get taxed much but I don't want to be associated with the racists' and then it became more and more clear that the racism was so incredibly baked into the fiscal stuff it could not be cleanly removed.

Even that got 'no true scottsmanned' though. Most of the right can't even see 'conservative' on a clear day, anymore, either.

Steve Schwarzman, the Blackstone CEO is a FASCIST. No surprise there.

@ferrix It does. That’s why you end up just not doing it.

I’m no fan of libertarians, but I do appreciate the way they treated that fucking criminal at the rally.

@wendinoakland He doesn’t know what to do when he’s fucked with. Bullies never do, which is why EVERYONE should do it to him. People should boo him outside the courthouse, everywhere he goes. It will through him off.

It’s clear journalism’s present day mission is both to NOT find out anything important and if they do find out, NOT TO TELL YOU.

@StillIRise1963 similar to those fools leaving the Trump admin and sitting on all kinds of tea only to spill it in their damn book. Greed above all else.

Catch and kill is the antitheses of freedom of the press. Our founding fathers would be rolling over in their graves to see how the oligarchy has manipulated the news media.

We hung outside listening to music tonight. We don’t do it enough. So therapeutic.

@StillIRise1963 So many modes, I think, of tension and release. And so much history to reach back upon. So much brilliance, and kindness, and commitment, and risk.

Way the fuck bigger and stronger and kinder than me. :)

@GeePawHill It’s humanity being both vulnerable and bold simultaneously.
