Props to the people informing the public about flock cameras and the people going around filming flock employees. It is funny how they don't like it all. But there is a real disconnect how people don't put the pieces together with over policing and mass surveillance.

People wouldn't be staring down Flock Cameras in their neighborhoods if they didn't buy into the "More training and more money propaganda." When defund the police had real traction people made a choice to stand with Police. Now you get the fun aspect of being an assumed criminal in the US.

The more money you have, the less you have to use your own brain. I don’t think being rich becomes a mental illness—lazy ass analysis, imo. But money is akin to a mind-altering substance; I have no doubt about it.

All the coverage about this focuses on the TERROR of the VIOLENT TAKEOVER but none of the reports seem interested in WHY the inmates organized themselves in order to do this. You can try to paint them as crazy inmates — but it's telling that they didn't actually hurt anybody.

A big part of the issue is an absolute refusal to treat anti-Black racism as an actual thing, which has harmed actual people. This is how you see a burning cross and think there’s something “hilarious” about it.

If you believe someone can go 21 years in the United States, attend college until their senior year, and be ignorant of the meaning of a burning cross, the reaction should be one of horrified outrage at a society that can produce such a person in the land where Klan lynchings regularly occurred.

There’s this lady on TikTok that’s going to all the Asian businesses making sure Black ppl aren’t in there. If they are, she’s educating them on why there’s a boycott. One lady dropped everything and walked out. No questions asked

When I was doing research for my book on BLM, I interviewed a police officer who told me that in law enforcement they often know charges won’t stick but they file them because “you might be the wrap but you won’t beat the ride.” The point is torment, conviction would be a happy accident.

Here's my periodic reminder to ALWAYS pre-order a Black person's book when you see it being announced. How Black books sell during the preorder period affect how EVERY BLACK AUTHOR is treated and how much they are offered for a book advance. If one of us fails, they shut the door on all of us y'all.

The reaction from white people on the Cyrus/Chow case is incredibly telling of their racism. This case had NOTHING to do with them yet, they can't help but to celebrate the death of a black child, regardless of the circumstance. I don't see how y'all deal with any of them but I'm glad I don't.

Conservatives when results don’t go their way: “the election was stolen” (even though the data says otherwise) Liberals when results don’t go their way: “3rd party voters” (even though the data says otherwise). Like mfs are both equally intellectually dishonest & it’s annoying.

In the paradoxical standard set forward by the Supreme Court, the only way to tell if districts were drawn for racism is if the people drawing them say so. But if the districts are drawn so that Black voters in the South get almost no representatives, that's not racism.

In a state like Mississippi, which has no universal early-voting options and only limited absentee-voting options that most can’t take advantage of, knowing where to go on Election Day matters. Even small hurdles can add up and deter turnout. Mississippi’s 2024 turnout was just 57.5%.
