βPunishment is not something that happens to bad people. It happens to those who cannot stop it from happening. It is laundered pain, not a balancing of scales.β

Acknowledging racismβs structural primacy in modernity is not an assertion of moral chauvinism. It is an empirical & historical claim about how political power, state structures, & social systems were constructed in REALITY. Nobody cares how you FEEL. Itβs a structural analysis.

The leading convos about trans personhood should move away from dating cis people tbh

#FreeCongoπ¨π©
Children, women and men in Congo risk death mining cobalt for our phones and electric cars. Many have already died. This genocide is ignored while Big Tech companies profit from exploitation and consumerism. We can no longer look away. Write βFree Congo" SPEAK UP!

I never understood the stereotypes of black people stealing because isn't it historically known that white people colonize and steal everything

Toda a minha solidariedade Γ famΓlia, Γ s amigas e aos amigos de Paolla Paullyne Freitas de AraΓΊjo, mulher trans de 34 anos e ativista LGBTQIA+, brutalmente assassinada a tiros no Centro de Santa Luzia do Norte, na RegiΓ£o Metropolitana de MaceiΓ³.
Paolla foi candidata a vereadora em 2024. Exigimos uma investigação rigorosa e a responsabilização de todos os envolvidos nesse crime.
A vida de uma pessoa trans merece respeito, proteção e dignidade. Nenhuma forma de violΓͺncia pode ser naturalizada, e nΓ£o podemos permitir que sua memΓ³ria seja esquecida.
Γ por justiΓ§a, cidadania e pelo direito Γ nossa existΓͺncia! π³οΈββ§οΈ

Remember Kohen Wiley. Remember all Black children who never got a chance to grow up.

I still remember getting told β Niggers belong in trees, not the white houseβ back in 2008 by one of my classmates and the principal refused
to do anything about it.

the idea that black children have to suffer through racist nonsense during the most formative years of our life in order for white kids to learn a lesson is truly so evil. y'all want to sacrifice our safety and sanity for the sake of white ignorance

White people are such pathetic boot lickers they are more likely to mobilize like this to murder a black child than any corrupt politician or billionaire
Fifteen thousand people gathered in a Texas town square to watch a 17-year-old be burnβ¬d alive.
A professional photographer set up in advance, because the pictures were going to sell.
Schoolchildren were let out to attend. The mayor watched from a window.
Jesse Washington. Waco, 1916. He was a farmhand with limited schooling, convicted in a trial that took roughly an hour.
Before the sentence could mean anything, the crowd took him from the courtroom itself.
We will not describe what was done in that square. It is in the NAACP's investigation, gathered by an undercover investigator named Elisabeth Freeman, who arrived in Waco days later and got the whole thing on the record.
The photographs were printed as POSTCARDS and mailed.

Facts. The last major βspectacle lynchingβ happened near my hometown less than a century ago.
They made postcards and preserved some of his body parts as souvenirs, same as they did in other lynchings of Black men.
Of course they donβt want this taught in schools.

black people are taught "thats just the way it is" and white people are taught "you can do this and get away with it"

βI watched an officer come from the inside of Walmart, not knowing whatβs going on, and run out with guns drawn. Five officers with guns drawn at a car with two women and a baby.β

When yall make racism a quintessential part of a white teenβs coming of age, you also make it quintessential to black teenβs coming of age. βOmg she was only 15 when she said niggerβ, yeah and black kids will only be 15 when theyβre called that.

White supremacists are enemies to class solidarity
They organized to demand fair pay for their own cotton. In response, a mob, U.S. troops, three days of hunting Black sharecroppers through the fieldsβand the deaths of 100 to 200+ Black men, women, and children.
This is the The Elaine Massacre of 1919.
Their crime was organizing a union so cotton planters would finally pay them a fair price for their own crops.
When white landowners found out, they didn't send lawyers. They sent a mob of hundreds, backed by U.S. troops.
Twelve Black survivors were then sentenced to death for "inciting" the violence done to them.
They organized for fair pay. The response was armed violence, a massacre, and then death sentences for the people who survived it.
The Elaine Massacre is one of the histories we documented in our book.
They tried to punish the victims and bury the story. We put the story back on the record savvypurchase.samcart.com/prβ¦
