Don't engage. Just block. They want to push their rage bait on here. Don't give them the satisfaction.

MYTH: ICE agents lack proper training. FACT: Most have been racists their entire lives.

The idea of white people watching the news and praying the perp is not one of them is SENDING ME 😂

As batshit as this is, this is also how racists "wait for more information" in the aftermath of police shootings. They really aren't waiting for more information, they're waiting to hear that all the things they believe about the "Other" is true. Cox is just more blatant about it..

the computer is good, continue being on the computer all the time.

Turning Point USA made a literal watch list of professors, primarily women, queer folks and people of color, and made us targets of political violence. I’ve received hate mail and harassment and death threats off and on for nearly a decade in part due to that man’s organization so 🤷🏽‍♀️

When I was young, people adultified me to assign me all tesponsibiiity.

Now that I am old, people talk to me like I’m a child, granting me no autonomy.

I do believe the colonial brain will make whatever true that it needs to be true, I swear.

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

For what it's worth, this is precisely the reason the Klan wore hoods when they terrorized communities and disappeared unfavored minorities.

Historically, it wasn't called doxxing it was just recognizing a fascist community member.

The retconning of George Floyd, part three: the great flattening The revisionist campaign to exonerate Derek Chauvin is about one thing: preserving police impunity

There’s a lot of nonsense about George Floyd out there this weekend. If you’re looking for a place to send people who need a correction, here’s my (very long) series addressing all the false claims about his death.

Nottoway Plantation burning RIP bozo !

you’re laughing. the largest antebellum plantation house burned down & there are brides who will not get to spiritually absorb the poisoned spectral energy of the land for their big day, & you’re laughing.

Jesus.

This is wild.

Where by “wild” I mean “the sort of humiliating display of racist arrogance that will harm the US’s world-wide reputation in ways that will be impossible to fully repair in my lifetime.”

Hey there! Just circling back

Unbelievable pictures from May Day protest in NYC today!

Trump take toy.

The canard of "anti-white discrimination" & "special preference" has been a bog standard argument of white supremacists and anti-civil rights reactionaries going back over 100 years (see Andrew Johnson's rationale for vetoing the CRA of 1866).

Can’t say there’s disparate impact if you prevent analyses of data from happening or being considered at all. Without data & analysis, you can’t hold people accountable for perpetuating inequalities.

Herbert J. Gans, 97, Dies; Upended Myths on Urban and Suburban Life A leading sociologist, he explored American society up close — living in a Levittown at one point — to gain insight into issues of race, class, the media and even the Yankees.

Saddened by the passing of legendary sociologist Herb Gans. Ethnographer extraordinaire and so generous with his time. Quick to pose penetrating questions about my drafts. Thinking through the answers made my work better. He will be deeply missed.

I just want to thank @k-till.bsky.social for being able to zoom into my Minorities in the CJ System class to talk about his article on coercive benevolence and carceral liberalism. I think students took away a lot!

We on the left supposedly look down on Trump voters, but nobody has more disdain for Trump voters than Trump. He hates them and supports policies that will make their lives more difficult.

“Wokeness,” as it’s known, introduced the asymmetrical capitalization of the letter b in Black but not the w in white. It forced Romance languages like Spanish to submit to gender-neutral constructions such as Latinx. It called for the display of pronouns in email signatures and social-media bios. It replaced a slew of traditional words and phrases: People were told to stop saying master bedroom, breastfeeding, manpower, and brown-bag lunch, and to start saying primary bedroom, chestfeeding, workforce, and sack lunch. At the extreme, it designated certain words—such as crazy—beyond redemption.

If I were an editor at a prestigious national publication I would simply ask writers to define what they mean by words like "forced"

THREAD: The Trump administration's DOJ has removed a study from the NIJ website that found that immigrants, and particularly undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens.

The study is at odds with the Trump regime's propaganda about immigrants & crime. (1)

Start putting it together:
1) 👴🏻"DEI has gone too far!"
2) 👴🏻"We should have more people working in factories and mines!"
3) 👴🏻"Not me though!🤣"

They ain't slick.
