WhatUpWally? @whatupwally.bsky.social · 22/01/2026This is a tough read. Not just because it makes you face the racial horrors of amerikkka's past but because it also resembles the amerikkkan present so closely. In conclusion... Fuck Orange!! #FDT #thisIsAmerikkka 000
WhatUpWally? @whatupwally.bsky.social · 22/01/2026Supporting Orange and being a xian should be antithetical. However, if you study the history of white American evangelicalism, you will recognize that Christ has always been mobilized to oppress people considered "non-white." Amerikkka was established as a white supremacist Christian nation. #FDT 000

WhatUpWally? @whatupwally.bsky.social · 08/10/2025The German anti-fascist philosophers, activists, and artists believed art played a major role in supporting the revolution and resistance. They debated aesthetic theory and wrote great texts about art and revolution. What role do you think art plays in the anti-fascist movement today? 110

Did your activism become a way of life, or was it just a performance for the gram?? #Racism #AntiRacism 000
