We are all out here skruggling. I'm in a position I worked my whole to avoid being in, but I listened to the wrong people and had porous boundaries.

Trusted the wrong people and here we are.

We just gotta keep pushing through and get to the other side!

White people, whatever energy you were about to use explaining yourself to me can be used trying to figure out how to get your fellow white people to stop doing all of this.

I don’t really care about anything else.

Do the Democrats have a plan for fixing everything if they ever get back into office, or should I just expect this to be the new normal?

Israel is purposely killing journalists trying to record the genocide they are committing.

Rather than elect someone we could pressure to try and make them stop... y'all elected someone who wishes they could do the same thing.

These are literally the consequences of protest voting/non-voting and not installing someone who COULD be reasoned with.

This is the reason why I worked to get trained in firearms and work to train my community. WP threw everything away. Gotta protect ourselves now...

Imagine being born in slavery and living up until 5 months before the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Anna Julia Cooper is one of my favorite people in history. She was born on August 10, 1858, and lived to the age of 105.

I can't sum her up in a single post, but she was born 167yrs ago today

I'm reposting people who are on the Blacksky server:
1. Because, hell yeah πŸš€πŸš€πŸš€
2. So it's very clear that they can see your posts and you can see their posts even though your accounts are hosted by different companies with different terms, etc.

Call them amazing. They're YOUR people, right? Don't you enjoy their company, sense of humor, style, the way they make you laugh, the way they make you feel safe, calm, warm. Ain't they fine? Handsome? Gorgeous? TELL. THEM.

And if it's your partner? Tell them DAILY.
