I can’t help but think of Malcolm X’s thoughts on Christianity here, and how he’d argue it was manipulated to prime Black people for subjugation, and condition us to embrace the “turn the other cheek” teaching in the face of violence

This is what I have to say about the Lil Naz X situation. This has been said before but it bears repeating. Y’all LOVE Black people and especially queer Black people as long they’re entertaining you. The moment we’re struggling or need help, y’all are nowhere to be seen.

I’m so sick of these journalists and Democratic politicians saying we’re living in unprecedented times, while at the same time appropriating the Black & Brown (basically non-white, non-cis male)experience that is America. Using it as political fodder for wealth and power.😭

There is no such thing as the “magical Negro”. The actions of one lone Black man did not turn the tide of the Civil Rights movement. It was the community. It was the people.

Just a reminder for the easily duped, wide-eyed liberals out there: @gavinnewsom.bsky.social didn’t “take on” Trump for the sake of the Latino community. He’s fishin for future votes in the 2028 election. Remember, ICE wouldn’t be here if he hadn’t invited them in. 😌

They didn’t care. This was some trickle down economics type shit for them. “I vote for the fascist, therefore I avoid the fascism”. They had no qualms selling out their neighbors, if it meant protecting themselves.

Taking responsibility means admitting WHY they did it in the first place. It would call for a moment of self reflection, and that’s too much of a scary thing.

Of all the violently eugenic things RFK has said, claiming that autistic people will never write a poem is one of the most ridiculous! Poetry!? You mean one of the preferred modes of expression for people misunderstood by society? Baby, you can’t spell poeticism without tism!

No wonder I had an anxiety disorder - I spent the last 10 years seeing this coming and feeling like I couldn’t do enough to stop it. I say “had” because I’m 100% anxiety free now. Maybe it’s the perverse relief of the horrible thing finally happening - seeing the enemy’s face clearly.

@earther65.bsky.social Women, not men, get to decide when sexism occurs. LGTBQ folks, not straight folks, get to decide when homophobia occurs. Black folks, not white folks, get to decide when racism occurs. Allies know this. Bigots do not.

Let’s not forget that when Black folks protest, when Queer people protest, when womxn and Indigenous peoples protest, we also get those that show up specifically to derail and act out. We get the performative “liberals” there for the camera and we get the surburbanite white kids looking to loot.

A close-up shot shows a weathered gray metal pole covered in stickers. The most prominent sticker is rectangular with a white background and a border that mimics the transgender pride flag (alternating light blue, pink, and white stripes). The text on this sticker reads "ONLY" in blue, "LOSERS" in pink with small yellow starbursts on either side, "HATE TRANS" in pink, and "PEOPLE" in blue. Above this sticker, remnants of another, larger sticker featuring the transgender pride flag are visible, torn and partially missing. The pole shows signs of age and wear, with scratches and discoloration. The background is blurred, suggesting an outdoor urban environment with indistinct figures and buildings in soft focus.

The Pitt is the first show in YEARS that we’re all watching together week to week, waiting on the next episode, talking about it all the time… This collective love of a show is what inspired all of us TV writers to become TV writers. I want TV to go back to this. More shows like this, please!

I have a million disagreements with Kamala and the DNC, but as a Black person who has had to sit in the room with some of the most borish and incompetent white people that you could think of while not being respected/taken seriously, I know exactly why all Kamala could do is laugh at this bullshit.
