In response to Liz N Is Tired of the Nonsense.
Its a double edge sword for anyone being an anti racism/bigotry ally because A. you should be doing it for the positive results not a pat on the back. B. It will be unsung work. This is not the path for those who need gold stickers for bare minimum decency.

"No, Karen is not a racial slur.
No, it is not the same as the n-word.
No, you are not oppressed by being called Karen."

Daily reminder to INFINITY for every white spouter here. Never roll up on a person of color's spout, assume that it centers you & start to "teach." This person commented on a spout that was aimed at my sisters & brothers of color here last night. NOT👏🏾 EVERYTHING 👏🏾IS👏🏾 ABOUT👏🏾 YOU!!!👏🏾
C. Norton @NortonCowI agree with everything except to the reference to 'your truth'. You have a perspective, opinion, worldview, or belief, but truth is the same for everyone. The goal is to get everyone to see 'the' truth and not ignore it. Everyone having their own truth is what got us in our current state.10:37 AM - Jun 28, 2023

Not that it should be said, but Black people. DO care about crime. We want safe neighborhoods and our family members coming home safe.
What we DON'T want is racist overpolicing that treats ALL of us as criminals. We want "protect and serve" to mean equally.
That's one reason

Thinking bout how several states have laws banning taking newborn puppies from their mothers before 8 weeks b/c it is traumatic—yet only 16 states (15 Dem & 1 GOP) & 0 federal laws mandate paid leave for new moms
US law seems more humane to dogs & puppies than to moms & babies😳

While there’s overwhelming — and to date, uncontested — evidence documenting the connections between Team Trump and its Russian benefactors, much of the right is absolutely convinced that the scandal has been thoroughly discredited. It has not.

The GOP’s abortion bans are what RELIGIOUS FASCISM looks like. Since Roe was overturned one year ago, millions of women have lost reproductive freedom because the GOP has imposed their religion as law. This is religious FASCISM. My article: https://deanobeidallah.sub...

If the past few years have taught us anything, it's that:
1) Poverty is a policy choice.
2) Workers keep America going, not billionaires.
3) Corporate profits don't trickle down.
4) Health care is a human right.
The time to act on these issues is now.

Immigrants quickly learn that it is better to be anything but Black and double down when you are in the "conditionally white" category. Add in that only white English speaking Americans see White Spanish speaking Americans as anything but white and yeah. Here we are

In response to Salma Typhii.
White supremacy so depends on folks like us embracing Anti-Blackness. It's also a reason they are trying to recruit Latine, Asian and other youths online. Also adds a layer of plausible deniability.

Most Americans will not believe that Nazis heavily took from American Race Law in place at the time of their ascent, and that there were some things that, abhorrent as the Nazis were, even they would not adopt from the US. #LearnHistory
