Remember when the press created the phrase “three dimensional chess” when it was motherfucking in your face crime.🙄

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

We know what Trump promised to Big Oil. We don’t know all that he promised to Putin.

As a mom on Mother’s Day, I wish for a better world for all children. We adults have to do the work to make it better.

@generika That song still makes me cry every time I hear it.

There is more than" journalistic malpractice" going on here. There’s a deliberate sabotaging of the truth and democracy.

@UrNotTheBossOfUs I hear that. Joe is full of early morning propaganda that makes me want to scream.

Not voting is a vote for dystopia.

@mike I have two words: Citizens United.

@mike Before you give up, you actually have to try. I can’t have this conversation anymore. I know how we got here because I was here to watch it. I only care about the steps we’re going to take. Nothing else.

@mike Let’s use our energy to figure out what we can do besides voting. Voting is a key leg of the stool, but we need to do more. We need collective action.

StillIRise1963,
@StillIRise1963@mastodon.world avatar

@mike We need different politicians. We need to own the Senate and House and we need to make new rules.

@Snowshadow I’ve been frustrated by this for so long. We can deconstruct once the terror has been averted, not before.

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.

@NovaCora 99.9% of us are still here and it’s always been this way. Never been different, not even for a second. We learned to do this from our parents. Before that, it wasn’t an issue because of segregation.

KKK demonstrations are protected by the police. Yet, police are called if students and Jewish groups speak out about genocide in Palestine and they are proclaimed antisemites. AT WHAT POINT does all this fuckery BIND US ALL TOGETHER IN THE FIGHT?

@notroot You’re an idiot. I didn’t say that you fucking illiterate. Jesus. RIF.

What makes going out to eat in the U.S. much less fun is the fact that your time is limited. The table has to turn over to someone else after the allotted time and I hate it. I don’t appreciate people telling me I have to go.
