In the South, it is even more pronounced, with Black people dying at a rate in some states that is more than three times higher than for white people."

we almost successfully talked about racism for about 3 minutes and that was enough for the right to get to make DEI the new boogeyman and move white nationalists back into power
“moderate” white people were convinced that asking for police to not murder Black people indiscriminately was too radical

One of the more frustrating things about the way many think about racism is that unless someone uses slurs, mainstream outlets and some academics give the benefit of the doubt.
You can resegregate schools, lie and claim that it’s about “markets” or “choice,” and get invites in polite society.

"what radicalized you?" is it radical to think we should all share this Earth and its bounties? radical to believe rampant greed is an unnatural state for humankind? radical that when I see someone down, I should kneel to lift them, instead of stepping on them to raise myself?

The political movements that will deliver us from Trump aren't going to be the ones that take down Palestinian flags. Occupiers don't have right to "defend" themselves from the people they occupy. The occupied have a right to defend themselves from their occupiers. Bernie ain't it anymore.

International solidarity will help Americans because we're far from the only people living under fascism. People around the world have a lot to teach us about life under this kind of rule, if we abandon exceptionalism & our indoctrination that says they're in those situations because they're lesser.

But it really points to antiblackness as an original American sin. Every single thing DOGE is doing to collapse the government, it all leads back to the hatred for Black people that is so American it gave Trump his appeal. Now all America will suffer because of how bad it hates Black people.

Do white people really think Black people work in servitude for them to make social change happen? Why do they beg Black people instead of doing something? Black people are obviously about our business of surviving. If white people really saw us as a collective they’d join, not expect mules.

Two things:
1. There are NO good billionaires. None.
2. The idea that you can use the system to destroy it is foolhardy and wrong. You will never achieve a global revolution through electoral politics. The whole point of it is to PREVENT revolution by tricking people into believing they have a say

Some billionaires are good people, but the oligarchs should be quaking in their loafers right now.
People all over the world have had enough of being deceived, exploited, manipulated, being pitted against each other, maligned, and now called fraudsters.
Our global revolution is coalescing.

Like I've said a million times, Obama can't fix this because he's an institutionalist and white America has decided that we don't need institutions as long as it harms Black and Brown bodies, I don't think any elected official will be able to put this genie back in the bottle alone.
The hilarity of today's foolishness? Black people aren't saying "Stop calling the Obamas" because they're Black. They're saying it because it isn't a fucking solution. If you wanted a better America you would have listened when we told you enabling a police state was a terrible idea.

The colonizer’s power is never just about control over the land. It is the control over memory, over culture, and over identity itself. To break free from its shackles is not to take back what was stolen from us, but to create something new, from the very marrow of what was denied to us.
