If we want to understand the conditions that create agencies like ICE, and the people who staff them, we must understand the economic infrastructure that makes such work attractive.

Decentering your personal feelings and patriotic leanings is a necessity to address a systemic issue. This is like ghe myth that racism will die out with a generation. It's not true and pretending it is got us white Millenials with tiki torches shouting white supremacist slogans in Charlottesville

Nobody ever sees the way folks talk to Black women. They only see when we react. And so the people who come at us crazy get to slide on an assumption of civility and reason that we are denied. Even when it is seen, a certain level of hostility is acceptable when directed at us. We peep that.

I can't describe the feeling that went through my body while I watched This Scene the first time. I'll never get tired of seeing it. It will never not amaze me. It will go down as one of the most memorable, mind blowing scenes in cinematic history. The ancestors had a hand in the making of Sinners.

Anyway what’s amazing is that it’s a vampire movie but the real monster is the inescapable labyrinth of the Jim Crow economy. www.theatlantic.com/culture/arch...
The Jim Crow Economy Is the True Horror in 'Sinners'
The film illustrates the near-impossibility of upward mobility during the segregation era.

Over the last decade, a community health center in Virginia filed more than 7,000 lawsuits for unpaid bills.

It sued one couple for $59 last January, an amount that ballooned more than 600% within months due to interest, court costs and lawyer fees.

My Friday ask is to help my family out, since my sib is part of those increased Black unemployment statistics, and it would be a major boost to help bridge them into the new year
My family is still fundraising to keep a roof over our heads. So many have already helped us so much. Saving us in November, then again this month. We're moving towards stability, but still need help. Thank you for those who have and those who will donate.

I really think everyone, all users, should subscribe to blacksky's moderation. @moderation.blacksky.app I've said it before. Nonblack users laugh it up with & boost accounts we can see are flagged for antiblackness all the time. Keeping watch for antiblackness should be part of an ally's journey.
