Had to whoop my kids’ ass in pop a shot at the Hawks game tonight.

I sincerely know less than nothing about this nba gambling ring dealio. I do know that in a moment when powerful mostly white men are stealing from everybody at scale and with breathtaking gall, it’s odd that these are the faces I’m seeing.

The US froze aid to Colombia
Much of which is used to fight drug cartels
Because the president of Colombia said the US killed Colombian fishermen
In what is supposed to be a US military campaign to stop drug cartels

Greatest defensive player I’ve ever seen, pains me though it may to say this about a spartan

Jfc man the papers are so hone

Whew man.

The end of federal enforcement of special ed laws. Some states - including MN - will likely be ok. But a lot of disabled kids in a lot of states are going to lose the education that federal law and decades of jurisprudence say they are owed.

This is the whole thing I swear to god

A post by @ebonyteach.bsky.social made me realize a lot of people don’t know this: Places that were more racially segregated experienced *more* Black lynchings. Segregation in and of itself did not insulate Black people from anti-Black violence, it enabled it.

We are in hell.

It’s wild when the Economist is pulling their card. Shows you how far gone we really are.

Yeah man. Also, this isn’t real life. What did I do this crazy week? Talk to like real actual friends and family. On the phone. At the bar. People that I trust with my thought and emotions. I suggest this for you too.

Social media is cool for some shit, but talk to real life in person loved ones.

These were the same ones three years ago literally crying in meetings about racial injustice and bragging to everyone about how much work they put in “to be a good ally.”

Now they are yelling at these same black folks in defense of fascists literally arguing to the mass murder of homeless people.

“If you have a Ferrari, you gotta drive the Ferrari!”

Though it’s traumatic for me to bring this up, I was targeted by a group allied with Turning Point USA in 2018, with the help of Tucker Carlson on Fox. My home address circulated online and I got death threats. 1/

Man I think it’s time to go dawg.

I am sad. Why do we still live in this country? Family I guess. But things are bad and getting worse. It is hard to imagine this doesn’t end in a lot more violence. And I am near the top of the list of enemies of the state.

No, no, no. It's not about the white guy who shot the white guy. It's about the white guy who got shot. Any time a white guy who hates Black people gets shot, it's the fault of Black people. That's even/especially true if the white guy who shot the white guy also hates Black people.

Man this.

Especially people normally alienated from politics man. There are black folk from the south side of Chicago that don’t like racism and are deeply suspicious of white folk but are so anti vaccine and xenophobic that that will lay it all on the line for the klansman that wants them dead.

Tillis finally acting with decency and speaking out now that he’s not running for office is telling. Our political parties are captured.

I think this is much bigger than Trump alone. There are powerful institutions throwing their weight behind fascism that they feel like they gotta do this.

My fat ass just made a southside of Chicago food mural in my office.

JFC man

With cellphone cameras and tip lines, D.C. residents find small ways to fight ICE How neighbors and school communities are organizing against the immigration crackdown.

Residents are finding all sorts of ways to fight ICE: They're recording and reporting. They're wheatpasting and sharing know-your-rights materials. And they're stepping up to care for each other, from delivering groceries to walking kids to school. 51st.news/dc-residents...

They know good and hell well that if you give a bunch of Mexican kids a path to citizenship and an opportunity to work hard an advance that they are gonna turn on the tv and see a bunch of Mexican folks with big ass watches and nice ass cars. That’s too much lol. So back to the dark ages we go.

I just don’t think any of this rhetoric about our supposed criminality or laziness or whatever is at all good faith. It’s the opposite. They don’t believe that shit deep down. It’s a lie that pacifies their rage about their own position inferior to the rich. It keeps them bought into the system.

This obviously isn’t like innate to white folks as some natural shit. You get any group of people convinced that they have a naturally superior place in the social hierarchy, below the folks who actually run it but above some group they can shit on with confidence, and they’ll often kill for it.

I don’t think this is just a thing the outwardly fascist people do. I swear I’ve seen bleeding heart liberals every bit as troubled by black intelligence and self determination. MFs love your charity case ass, as somebody they can mold and mentor and shit. But fuck around and outdo their ass? Lol

No one was talking about “go back to Africa!” during slavery lol. It was clear that you were a slave. That shit kicked off when…they thought anyway…your ass might actually have a way of making something of yourself. Running for office or owning land or some shit. Fuck that, you gotta go.

It’s the hierarchy man. Don’t fuck with the hierarchy. I think alotta white folks drink this “I am part of the master race” kool aid to cope with the fact that the ruling class shits all over them too. It’s that psychic wage of whiteness shit Dubois talks about.
