it's almost as if nonBlack people should also be responsible for their actions... instead of us being responsible for our reactions...

I actually do think that a nonBlack person who can't help themselves from screaming the N word qt Black people should probably be kept away from us And I'm okay if that means they gotta stay out of the public at times, we've had our free movements restricted for literal centuries, y'all will live.

My cynicism says it’s also because they’re aware of climate change and its effects on food stability. So they’re trying to “program” themselves to live without it. And yeah, they’re also joyless assholes.

These kids had to be walked to prison by school officials bcz there is no family to take them. They have committed no crime and didn’t get a trial. They are in prison and are in 3rd and 5th grade.

I know everyone is applauding Ilhan Omar for continuing to speak after being attacked but I sincerely wished she would have gone to get checked out instead.

I have been writing researching and writing about threats to Ilhan Omar for like 8 years and so I don't mean to go all Bluesky Discourse™ on a viral moment I just see in her my friends who I worry about and I'm still shaken. That was too close. My article (well my research) from 2019

He easily found hundreds of death threats against Rep. Ilhan Omar. He wants Twitter to stop them.
Cybersecurity expert Chad Loder said he’s been frustrated by the platform’s seeming inability to crack down on accounts that espouse racist, homophobic and violent rhetoric.

To clarify, I fully support Ilhan Omar being ready to rock that dude's shit (it's a good lesson in what happens when someone oversteps) I just just know how my BW friends are TIRED and I don't want us always celebrating them as fierce when bad shit happens, give them money and support REGARDLESS

I don't want to celebrate how Ilhan Omar was ready to throw down. Tired of valorizing Black women as fighters, that dude should have been stopped and stomped out before he got close to her.

People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.

So once ice vehicles have been discovered and are being followed, they often become incapable of doing their sinister work. This is why people risk their lives to tail federal agents, all over the twin cities and the suburbs.

Essentially, what stops abductions is when crowds outnumber the masked kidnappers. When people aggressively follow ICE with whistles and horns, crowds are ready to show up. If they show up fast enough, ICE leaves and a family is not broken. (People here understand the stakes).

Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.

In Pakistan, the CIA went around door-to-door pretending to be giving polio vaccines, while secretly hunting for Osama bin Laden. The result was that real health care workers were ignored or even killed, and hundreds of people got polio, which had otherwise been nearly eradicated worldwide.

Reports said the trial was halted. HHS says it will proceed. The revised protocol remains unethical. Scrutiny must continue until participants are no longer placed in harm’s way. I read the revised protocol and wrote a follow-up. bktitanji.substack.com/p/lipstick-o...

I know everyone is asking about the husbands but what’s more interesting to me is she wants to know how they’re going to “continue normal life.” Because that is all white people ever care about.

This has been how it works from the start. What people are newly unhappy with is that the scale of violence is too loud in their personal lives, now. Their restaurant experience, upset, people getting snatched from schools, etc. However, this fire has been burning and we've been told to ignore it

Fundamentally we're at this place with eye cee eee specifically because most white people are only against the current scope of harm, not that it exists. There's been more than 20 years to say "A organization that abducts ppl, seperates families, can hold ppl indefinitely w/o trial is bad"
