Tap in with my brotha @ericms.bsky.social on how we can make up for fumbling Prop 6 and liberating those on the front line of climate catastrophe ✊🏿✊🏿
California depends on incarcerated firefighters to battle wildfires—risking their lives for pennies. Yet, when released, they’re barred from the same jobs. If the state values their service, it should prove it: Pardon them. Hire them. End slavery.

It’s not lost on me, that two white men who inherited, stole, and finessed their enormous wealth and power are now leading a crusade against “Diversity” based “merit.”
They didn’t “earn” any of that shit. It was literally handed to them with “small loans of a million dollars”

Hey yall.
Just a reminder, that all “laws” are not moral codes.
Resist them, in big and small ways.
Our elders did, and we will too.

Stop telling us change is slow.
Change in support of white supremacy can happen with the stroke of a pen
Change to fortify xenophobia is rapid
Change to entrench transphobia deeper in law is rapid
The long arc of justice isn’t slow. It is intentionally delayed by the cowardly.
Fight Back yall

Just want to send a reminder to everyone today celebrating Dr. King today, that he was considered an enemy to America and the state because he mobilized millions of people to fight racial apartheid.
To celebrate him effectively, don’t just “go do service.”
Fight. Back.
