Hi! 👋🏽 Can we all please practice:
1. Linking to credible sources when reporting on breaking news?
2. Request sources from people who post breaking news?
3. Not re-share any reports unless verified by a credible source? #venezuela

#MayorMamdani’s speech a few moments ago was simply incredible and moving. Congratulations, NYC!
I hope those of us in #LosAngeles can learn to accept nothing less than this level of audacity and vision. Currently, our leaders in this second largest US city, practice robust mediocrity.

I say this as someone living on the west coast: Can we all collectively agree that when the ball drops in NYC, it’s officially the new year for the entire country and we can call it a night? Waiting three extra hours is such a slog. 🥱 #NYE

I decided this year, in my continuous endeavor to decolonize and dechristianize (is that a word?) my brain, to wish everyone a happy *Gregorian* New Year. If we have to add Chinese, Lunar, and Persian to other new years, we should do the same for the white Christian calendar. #NYE #Gregoriancalendar

Having to watch a bootlegged copy of a video from another country because my country censored it is making me feel as if I'm living in 1980s Eastern Germany.

Remember all those babies massacred to death in Uvalde, TX? TX voters didn’t care then and likely won’t care now. They will keep voting for the monsters who keep letting tragedies like this happen in the name of political expediency. It is willful ignorance and collective rotting of the soul.

Unfortunately, dark parody is all anyone has left. These 23 children will be acceptable losses in a regime that responds to mass murders in schools by removing the taxes on *checks notes* silencers.
Avoid talk of climate change by defunding the agencies designed to detect and respond to it. Ts&Ps.

Hi @qasimrashid.com - just saw your interview w/ @jesscraven101.bsky.social . I appreciate the sentiment that protests didn’t impact most of LA, but DTLA is not an “isolated community.” Real residents live here and are impacted by both ICE actions and events (peaceful + not peaceful) that followed.

Don’t forget the Christianity.
There are many evils. Jim Crow is the everpresent evil. The KKK are its brownshirts.
Remmick is opportunistically evil. He says that the juke dancers were always going to be killed, he just beats the KKK to it.
If we accept the metaphor that Remmick is the generational trauma

I’m tired of “think” tank nerds from elite families & circles pretending they know anything about living with the fear and suffering of warfare. Pls stop giving them airtime, listen to people on the ground, and remember who the actual perpetrators of hate and division are. #wagingpeace #southasia
