Hegemony protects itself.
Be it white supremacy, capitalism, patriarchy. One system supports the others. They are all sides of the same coin, and if this doesn’t connect the dots for you, you might never think critically about this.

@gluesenkampperez.house.gov how you, as a mother and child of an immigrant, could vote to fund ICE is unimaginable.
do you think this vote keeps your children safe from ICE or Noem's goons? i certainly don't. you may live to regret your choices. i guess we will wait and see.

pulling this reflection on white silence/fear over here, too:

Well the Dodgers union busting worked again.

I don’t know if I can continue working for this team.

And I love this team. But they have treated us abysmally.

And that he’ll keep all his committee assignments, fundraising and data sharing perks?

Racial. Concentration camps. Leading to deaths.

This is where we are.

Yesterday people asked why Nexstar and Sinclair caved. The answer is simple: those who tracked which companies were advertising with them made a huge impact. Thanks to those calls, companies began pulling their ad budgets over the Kimmel blackout.

Shout out to everyone only now learning that "Albert Einstein was reclusive at the end of his career, shunning public engagements."

Really meant,

"For the last *20 years* of his career, Einstein opposed US racism by only speaking publicly at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

If anyone thinks they are “saving the purity of the American race” by eradicating the Fourth Amendment, they are fools. They’re not saving America; they’re shredding it until there’s nothing of the American promise left worth protecting.
