I'll say it again, as this is ramping up: if you gave access to the archives of goverment data and information, it is your moral responsibility to make sure that untouched versions get preserved, now. There are people worh archival expertise who can help you, if you don't have it yourself. Start now

Rest in power Mike Brown, Darren Seals, Edward Crawford, Deandre Joshua and Danye Jones. They took so much from Ferguson because Ferguson lighted a path to freedom. You will never be forgotten 💔✊️

It's so crazy we live in a world where female athletes are striking for better wages and dodging sex toys being thrown at them, while trans athletes are being accused of evil scheming so they can play women's sports, which pays well and is highly dignified. It's almost like someone's full of shit

Black women are getting pummeled in every direction. Hence what I said a while ago that some of the social media discourse was completely being led by ops. No serious person could think that 'sit it out' could ever be a viable strategy. 1000% ahistorical and 1 million percent lethal.

Happy Montgomery Riverfront Brawl Day, y'all

Postcard from Toni Cade Bambara stating, "Do not leave the arena to the fools."

In 1995, Nikky Finney received "the most important postcard of my life."

It was from Toni Cade Bambara and said, "Do not leave the arena to the fools." Word.

FYI: in the U.S. it used to be very illegal for black women to wear their hair out, and they were mandated to wear bonnets and hair wraps as their Afros and braids were seen as too alluring and as a public nuisance.

Ok let’s review the Tignon Laws, shall we? 🧵

If there were ever proof that MLB treats Jackie Robinson as nothing more than a marketing tool, its that they have ignored the legacy of Larry Doby who did the same as Jackie but for the AL. Both men deserve better, but especially Doby.

The *cities* conversation is a proxy for racism. I think people should stop pretending they don't know this. YEARS ago, I said that "woke" conversations were a REACTIONARY TRAP and to look with suspicion especially on the white people who used the term. I was 1000% vindicated in this.

The end result of this is that a bunch of cis women athletes are going to find out they're intersex.

I miss having shared cultutal moments that aren't traumatic.

Just repost to help us in Gaza to face these difficult circumstances, sometimes I really wonder if reposting takes time from you or effort from some people just make my voice reach everyone please

NYC Mass Shooting Was Nearly Impossible to Prevent, Experts Say

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

Pete Buttigieg Says Trans Athletes in Women’s Sports Raise “Serious Fairness Issues” The former transportation secretary joins a list of Democrats who are conceding to the right on the issue.

Whichever strategists or consultants have decided that “fairness” should be the Democratic talking point on trans athletes should be punched in the fucking face. Stop ceding trans rights under the guise of fairness. It’s unfair for trans athletes to be discriminated against. How about that point.

But again, at the end of the day, the 'debate' over trans girls playing sports is NOT ABOUT SPORTS AND NEVER WAS. It was about bigots finding a wedge issue that they could use to convince wide audiences to accept SOME degree of trans segregation and then push them to accept EVER MORE AND MORE.

Abandoning trans people will not save anyone.

If at this point you still support this shit, you can eat a dick made of bricks

I think it's important to note the audience for this isn't really cisgender LGB people (who polling tells us overwhelmingly favor trans rights) but is meant to serve as a permission structure for a broader audience to abandon trans rights while still claiming they're "liberal"

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Trans folks ain't done shit to you

Buffy is so old there were only 103 named elements, we’re at 118 now.

(Yes I pause every show that has a periodic table to see if its period accurate)

Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller, Kirsti Noem, Joseph Mazzara, Emil Bove, Drew Sargent, and everyone else involved in planning, executing, and obstructing justice around the CECOT imprisonments are responsible for Andry's torture and rape.

Each bears a share of the blame. Don't ever let them forget it.

UBI and Defunding police are two things that have never failed during pilot projects or trial implementation, but are also two things that conservatives will 100% say make society collapse.

I'm so sorry for your loss. 💔
