"I don't see color" is tired as fuck.
"I see your color/race/gender/sexuality, and accept and love you for the beautiful and uniquely wonderful being you are" is where we need to get to.

Frank the Bunny @ZomBunnyFrankI think there is a certain kind of *attempted* altruistic sentiment behind "I don't see your color, I see you as another human, like me". But the effect in practicality is an erasure of culture, of experience, of the unique beauty of those who DON'T look like us. It's cultural gentrification.09:03 PM - Sep 03, 2023

Horrifying
The officers went to the home because a white neighbor had complained that Black people were staying with a white woman who owned the house.
The officers also repeatedly electrocuted the victims with stun guns to see whether the sheriff’s dept or police dept weapons were more powerful.

As climate change disasters ravage our nation, House GOP slashes funding to address it. Our nation--and the world--are faced with record heat waves, record forest fires, drought and death--all caused by climate change. And what did the House GOP do on Wednesday? They voted to cut the very programs d

It's been a weird year for hyper-local, hyper-disruptive US tornado strikes. A twister in June injured 8 and shut down operations at the world's biggest coal mine (North Antelope Rochelle in WY).

You just exited a 17-year toxic relationship with Twitter, and your friends convinced you to start dating again. One of your friends introduced you to Mastodon, and you went out on one date. Mastodon was too techie, and you spent the entire evening not understanding WTF Mastodon was talking about.

So true…. Our greedy clickbait driven media is not reporting on the true leadership and incredible advancements Biden/Harris and their whole team is making. We need four more years of PROGRESS not just staving off the death knell of US democracy.

As someone who advocates for equal rights for women, if an adult woman makes a choice I wouldn't about how she lives her life, I accept that. I won't take her agency. I also want these women to accept that others make different choices. They don't like that idea.

Gross. The 2nd worst thing in politics (1st is conservative extremists/white supremacists) is the "Obama (or ____ Dem POTUS/congress) didn't succeed in EVERYTHING I wanted/didn't beat back ALL GOP sabotage so, ergo, I'll fuck the nation by not voting or voting for a shill 4 the conservatives" crowd

I’m unmoved by the performative patriotism that goes on every July 4th. Until we have body autonomy in reproductive choices, full history in education, & protection from rampant racism & mass shootings; we are not the land of the free. #IndependenceDay #America #FightForDemocracy

Frankly, if you’ve been on this platform for a day, and have seen the kind of person that @cbouzy is, and how he looks out for this community. You’ve seen his transparency with everyone.
If you’re still unsure about #Spoutible & @cbouzy , & questioning if the trolls were true. Maybe this isn’t 4 u.

WHO's chief scientist says “the impact of Long Covid is going to be huge. When you’ve had 7 billion people infected, you only have to increase the risk of diabetes, dementia, cardiovascular disease by a tiny percentage, and you’ve got a huge long-term problem."
But sure, blame remote work.

After President Biden announces 40 billion dollar investment in bringing broadband internet to everyone across the country, many GOP Senators (Tuberville, Cornyn, etc) who voted NO, are taking credit for bringing this service to their constituents. List below of Yays and Nays.

End affirmative action to strengthen diversity. Allow a web designer to discriminate against LGBTQ people. Refuse Biden’s plan to provide forgiveness for student loans that would most help economically disadvantaged. Get the drift—the backward shove?

We should not need #AffirmativeAction . But we do. Because racism, particularly anti-Black racism, persists in our systems, policies, and institutions.
Until we change that, decision-makers must be made to make equitable decisions.
The #SupremeCourt ruling prevents that mandate.

Instead of just interviewing tourists at the Washington Monument about their views on the pandemic, I really wish reporters would make the effort to interview immunocompromised, disabled, & higher risk people who can't even get medical care due to the lack of COVID protections.
