What are your thoughts?
Is making something go away quietly while not addressing the root issue of oppression, good enough? Does that show "support"?
Is public silence really still the MO for dealing with injustices?
Is that enough regarding accountability, amends, progress towards justice?

Just because something is hard to hear from a more marginalized perspective doesn't mean it shouldn't be heard.
All the more reason, it MUST be heard.

If you haven’t fully left Twitter yet, please show your opposition to the platforming of hate speech and disinformation by staying off Twitter on Tuesdays. Let’s use #TwitFreeTuesdays as an opportunity to build up alternatives.
Please spread the word as you feel appropriate. Thank you.

According to the racist trolls on Twitter, I’m racist against white people, which is comical since I’m probably “whiter” than they are. According to my DNA, I’m British, Irish, Danish, and Ukrainian. They haven’t invented a shade white enough to properly describe me.

Everyone wherever you are this weekend & any other time.....keep your head on a swivel. For yourself & those around you. White Supremacists will strike and kill anyone for their agenda. Especially minorities. We have to stay vigilant.

Echoing this. Accomplices who stand against anti-Semitism pls be vigilant today. Neo-Nazis should not be welcome anywhere.
Standing with the Jewish community today. May you stay safe and strong. Solidarity.

Ty$ Ross @cooltxchickShabbat Shalom dear friends. I stand in solidarity with the Jewish community today, and every day. As reports of neo-Nazis planned ‘Day of Hate,’ garners nationwide attention, stay safe, stay strong, and know that you are not alone. ✡️10:36 AM - Feb 25, 2023![GIF-Image]()

It's pretty confirmatory that when I mentioned racism, classism AND ableism, that those so triggered so as to find my work email only focus on my audacity to name "RACISM".
I fully deal w ableism as MD who works w a cane etc, but let's examine WHY most vile comments are always about word, RACISM.

I guarantee that it's more than 5 or 6 GOP elected reps who have #LOngCOVID . It's so appalling and tragic how the lies, minimizing and downplaying are costing so many lives/livelihoods/quality of life years.

So I've left the other sight after True North decided to write about me and my stance on masking and released awful people to me. None of the reported tweets violated their rules, apparently, if you want to know what Elon condones.

In response to JonCooper.
As a Black Person, I completly disagree. If you are OK with racism and racist, you are racist. If you are ok sharing a table quietly with racist, even if they are family, you may need to check yourself

Gentle reminder that the ableist remarks you make about people you hate are seen by the disabled people who you love.

So I posted something on the other site that I also posted here. It got dragged on the other site by a bunch of trolls, racist harassers, and even spurred RW news outlets to try to bait me.
So glad I don't have to deal with that here. Thank you.

Safety within a group is not so just because of one labels it as safe. Safety is earned, shown, proven, confirmed by what is said/unsaid, what is done/not done. Ongoing.

Marginalized and oppressed people shouldn't have to open up their wounds for you to see their humanity. It's both exhausting and retraumatizing.

We are failing each other in society. Or is it that society, as it's constructed and exists (and the institutions within) is failing us all? 💔

“Protecting the vulnerable” doesn’t mean only wearing a mask when you visit higher risk people a couple times a year. It means actively fighting for their right to participate in society every day. Leaders are not “protecting the vulnerable,” they are discriminating against them.

“pet to threat” phenomenon, wherein women of color enter the workforce & are taken under the wing of a cheerleading mentor—usually a white man—only to have that support curdle into hostility once they prove their competency & look to advance.
