Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

Donate and share
Ramadan is approaching…and my heart trembles with fear that it will come with no food or warmth for my two little girls.

Our home is gone, and donations have almost stopped.

Please don’t let us enter the month of mercy in this helplessness…be mercy for us. 🤲🏻

And one of the first survivors to step forward to try to stop Epstein? A trans woman, who was promptly mocked and villified by the New York Post, New York Magazine, the courts and law enforcement.

I’ve seen a lot of people talk about her fan fest event where she assures the little boy that he can be a princess, whatever that means to him, if he really wants to but not as much about her career end event where she tells a little girl who idolizes her this:

This just suggests to me people are still more engaged with the rhetoric than they are curious about the experiences of their neighbors who are in hiding, which bothers me

Man, I saw a take that was like, “ICE is doing an ethnic cleansing” (correct), followed by “we’re not terrified,” and like… did you not notice way fewer non-white people out and about or

Arresting a journalist for covering a story is fascism. And it’s not a coincidence the administration has targeted a Black man, Don Lemon.

Don Lemon is not the only reporter who was arrested by federal agents overnight — local independent journalist Georgia Fort just went live on FB to say federal agents were also at her door to take her into custody over her protest coverage in Minneapolis.

I said this on Tumblr but I will say it here, just because someone can or does draw POC and does not prevent them from being racist. It's not automatically make them safe.

Israel bombed Palestine but did it stop there or did it stop in Lebanon or did it stop in Syria or did it stop in Yemen or did it stop in Iran or did it stop in Qatar? That is your future.
This is beyond Maduro and I will never concede to the motivations of American jingoism now that all of Latin America is on the table to be bombed.

The consequences are only for the “disposable” Black, Brown, and assorted non-conforming minorities who have to both navigate and survive their malicious whims.
So much of American history is just impulsive and extremely stupid elites, who don't believe in consequences because they have never personally experienced them, doing highly consequential stuff because they're bored or believe it might make them richer. I guess a lot of our culture, too.
