I rly try not to intervene in these kinds of convos (see also: salsa) but we need to stop trying to Do Nationalism with black diasporic syncretic music created under conditions of heavy colonialism and migration. Each place mentioned here played a crucial and different role.

“I don’t want to pay for other people’s healthcare!”
This is something I often see people say in opposition to single-payer healthcare.
Thing is, if you have health insurance, you’re paying for other people’s healthcare AND the insurance company is taking some for themselves.

US politics is so wild.

Yes, AND also Israel's actions have led to more anti-semitism. Its existence as an apartheid ethnostate--in addition to decimating Palestinian life--actually makes jews less safe. Israel fails at its main political goal.

Unlike my mamí, I retired myself from Latinx Heritage Month panels bc if one more person asked me “when did I discover that I was Black,” I was going to flip a table 😅

Heartbroken doesn’t cut it. The subway should be safe and free. The NYPD committed a mass shooting over $2.90, now Gregory Depelche is brain dead. We need to lift people out of poverty, not criminalize it. The NYPD put every person on the train in danger. NYC needs care, not cops
