When your friend’s baby needs to understand class struggle early.
No such thing as the ‘middle class’—just a ruling class and a working class. And the sooner we teach that, the better. This is how we raise class conscious children. 👶🏾☭

I have argued some version of this; Specifically: Much of the “woke” panic is White people learning what minorities actually think and have thought for decades when in the past they simply didn’t consider we had an inner World at all.

So 7 months into her presidency Harris would have dismantled the department of education? Serious question.
Yall said she would be doing the exact same thing as the president now.

Remember folks: Target was never the only place where you could find pride month merch. There have always been and will always be small queer vendors who make some amazing and unique stuff. Find a local artist (or someone on the internet) who deserves your patronage more than a national chain!

Today would’ve been Roger Fortson’s 24th birthday. A day his family should be celebrating. Instead, they mourn Roger — a USAF Senior Airman, shot in his own home by a deputy who never should’ve been at his door. We honor you on this day, Roger. Say His Name. #JusticeForRogerFortson

Anti-Black racism brought us here. There is no path out of our current situation that does not go through addressing that anti-Black racism.
Black people can't do that work for you.
I see folks playing make-believe resistance, as if they can skip that part and still be effective.
They can't.

Hard to ignore the connections between the push for "cop cities" and ascendant fascism
Atlanta police have set up secret surveillance cameras outside of Stop Cop City activists' houses and gathering spots––and they refuse to answer any questions about the cameras

Cameras have appeared outside homes of Atlanta’s ‘Cop City’ activists. Why are they there?
Cameras are hidden in unmarked boxes on utility poles in a move residents and advocates call ‘creepy’ and ‘corrosive’

Only 2 white doctors accepted Black patients in my Midwestern hometown, population 100,000. When I was a kid. Only 2. How's that not supposed to have a lasting impact? Must have been at least 5000 of us.

The most frustrating part of all of this for me is what I have witnessed from both Democrats and Republicans and even non-voters.
Which is the mindset of “well don’t worry. That’s not gonna happen to me/you.”
That mindset, to me, is pure unadulterated evil.

Okay, so joy as resistance has been completely removed from its original context, and that’s why what you know of now doesn’t really work.

This assumption that everyone who didn't vote did so as a protest vote for Palestinians is kicking some people's ass I see. I keep saying this, but it bears repeating...not everyone is that altruistic. Some people didn't vote because they refused to vote for a woman.
