When my sister sold her home, she had her white realtor come to show the appraiser around. She LEFT HER OWN HOME during the process. Right now, my college friend is removing all signs of Blackness from her home before she puts it on the market. All art, photos, statues are being packed. All books are being turned spine in. THIS IS WHAT RACISM DOES.

When your gay friends are stripped of their marriages, tell them you didn’t vote because you wanted to make a statement about Gaza.

SOMEONE is going to be elected president of the U.S. in November. It can either be the guy you yell at who changes his approach, or the guy you yell at who puts you in a camp. Up to you.

Notice how quickly the fascists moved from not requiring masks under the guise of freedom to OUTLAWING masks for everyone in NC.

I wish shooting a Black child was as egregious as shooting a puppy in the United States.

"Kirk argued in the 1950s that if the American middle class — then under half of Americans — ever grew too large and well paid, then such access to “wealth” would produce a social disaster. His followers warned that under such circumstances minorities would forget their “place” in society, women would demand equality with men, and young people would no longer respect their elders.”

I REFUSE to accept that nothing can be done about the obvious corruption on the Supreme Court. I DO NOT ACCEPT THIS and it MUST CHANGE.

I’m alive because I could have an abortion. I’m a mother because I could have IVF.

"CBS News, in partnership with The Trace and Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting, reviewed records from hundreds of law enforcement agencies across the United States and found that many had routinely resold or traded in their used duty weapons -- a practice that has sent thousands of guns into the hands of criminals.”

Our lives mean NOTHING to these people. THIS IS A SICK GAME.

American cops won’t save your kids at school when they’re being gunned down, but if they speak freely, they will come with riot gear and snipers to shut them the fuck up.

We don’t all need to buy the exact same things that we use occasionally. We should have organized borrowing.

The elite have kept the world from progressing to hold on to their wealth. They’ve kept us all apart with their propaganda and gaslighting and stemmed the type of cooperative creativity that could have solved many of our problems a long time ago.

When all the unhoused people in the United States are moved into camps, go visit them and explain through the fence that you didn’t vote because of Gaza.

"If re-elected, Trump vows to support the right wing’s war on so-called 'anti-white' racism. The movement targeting DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) initiatives is already gaining momentum and could skyrocket under a second Trump admin."

“ 'I think there is a definite anti-white feeling in this country, and that can’t be allowed either,' Trump told TIME when asked about his supporters who believe anti-white racism is a bigger problem than anti-Black racism."

"We should not in good conscience support or consume the art someone created if they are a piece of crap in reality. One of the reasons some of these horrible celebrities feel empowered to continue their deviant behavior is because they know they will continue to have supporters no matter what, and those supporters will continue to put money in their pockets.”
