“To live with the pretense that #racism is a doctrine of a very few is to disarm us in fighting it frontally as #scientifically unsound, #morally repugnant and #socially destructive. The prescription for the cure rests with the accurate diagnosis of the disease.” #mlk

“…the impulse seems to be to silence, rather than engage, rebut, learn from or seek to understand views that don’t fit our own. I believe such an approach is profoundly misguided, and contrary to what has made this country great.”

Just set up a recurring donation 2 #Spoutible . Because the freedom from misinformation and harassment comes at a cost for those invested in ensuring it. It feels good to engage in building community & exchange ideas once more and I want to make sure we continue to have this space. Thank u @cbouzy !

There are times when you must speak, not because you’re going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

The Inheritance chapter in #The1619Project has been one of the hardest to read so far. The generational trauma and ripple effects of what white people did to #Black families continues to this day. #America owes Black people a debt that may be impossible to repay.

I constantly have this conversation with my 17 year old daughter. I hate the burden she has to carry. I hate that she has to be twice as good to get half as much. I hate that she can’t just be a “teenager” learning from her “experiences”. I hate that she-we-don’t get to just mess up sometimes.

Black people have been telling you this. Communications like these from law enforcement reinforce and exacerbate the existing, systemic racism that makes the lives of Black people extremely difficult in this country (This doesn’t even reflect the compounded effect of racism/bias on who is targeted f

h/t to @agustin_ICIJ12:45 PM - Mar 13, 2023![They found that police Facebook pages consistently overreport crimes by Black suspects relative to local arrests rates: Between 2010 and 2019, Black suspects were described in 32 percent of posts but represented just 20 percent of arrestees. It mirrors statistics that show white Americans overestimate the percentage of crimes committed by Black Americans by as much 20 to 30 percent compared to the actual figures (numbers that, themselves, already reflect a bias in who gets arrested versus who actually commits crimes).]()

I am a feminist, and what that means to me is much the same as the meaning of the fact that I am Black; it means that I must undertake to love myself and to respect myself as though my very life depends upon self-love and self-respect.

IMPORTANT: Walgreens has apparently decided to cave to anti-abortion Republicans and will NOT be distributing abortion pills in some states where it is still legal to do so.
I will NOT be shopping at Walgreens until they fix that shit. PERIOD. #BoycottWalgreens
