Yolo Akili Robinson @yoloakili.bsky.social · 29/09/2026When we feel we have no direct route to transfer our rage against hateful leaders, it is far too easy to turn that rage against the people around or close to you. But you have to remember who makes this possible. Organize against them. Not your ally or loved ones who want to help you. 030

Yolo Akili Robinson @yoloakili.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Therapists are burned out. Doctors are dying. Children and families are scared and lost. Mental health distress is rising. This is not the time to divest from care. 074
Yolo Akili Robinson @yoloakili.bsky.social · 28/09/2026We are witnessing the collapse of care systems across the country. As philanthropy pulls back, numerous non profits supporting the mental health & social services of Black & Latino communities are closing their doors. 020
Yolo Akili Robinson @yoloakili.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Be aggressive to these systems and policies—and softer on the people trying to organize and be accountable beside you. 054
Yolo Akili Robinson @yoloakili.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Reminder: You are trying to pay bills, organize communities and remember to drink water during a time of massive social and spiritual collapse and violence. Give yourself grace if you don’t get it all right. 021
Yolo Akili Robinson @yoloakili.bsky.social · 01/09/2026It’s really wild how much terror and trauma in this world we are taught to normalize 020
Yolo Akili Robinson @yoloakili.bsky.social · 01/09/2026They are counting on us to “just get used to it.” Don’t normalize this shit. 010
Yolo Akili Robinson @yoloakili.bsky.social · 01/09/2026The most pressing mental health interventions today are structural. To truly cultivate collective well being, we have to fight against these trauma producing systems and policies that allow ICE, economic exploitation, food contamination and unfit leadership to continue to plague our world. 010
Yolo Akili Robinson @yoloakili.bsky.social · 01/09/2026THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS VIOLENCE OR FOR THIS IMAGINARY ISSUE. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE. Pierre Damas Bell is one more victim of a murderous campaign targeting Haitians, Latinos & immigrants of all backgrounds—a campaign rooted in hatred, immaturity, ignorance and incompetence. 110
Yolo Akili Robinson @yoloakili.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Black people often don’t talk about Disability the same way white folks do and Black folks even when disabled, are not seen and held in our disabilities the way white folks are. Any discourse that dismisses that and wants us to center European frameworks is racist at its core. 011
Yolo Akili Robinson @yoloakili.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Black masculinity often has a double consciousness. The lineage of style, care, and protection is often contrasted with the lineage of entitlement, secrecy— and “I am a man” as an excuse for a lack of self control and integrity. 021
Yolo Akili Robinson @yoloakili.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Black folks, the ancestor work isn’t just with our Indigenous African Ancestors. It’s with the European ancestry too. The conflicting colonizer legacy lives in many of us. Their trauma too was passed on to us. The more we contend with that legacy, the deeper and wider our medicine can become. 040
Yolo Akili Robinson @yoloakili.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Healing work to be more grounded during conflict. Healing work to emotionally regulate with our allies. Healing work to assess when distress has distorted our perceptions. Not healing work to PACIFY, to normalize or acquiese- but Healing work to hold our movements together and grow the resistance. 031
Yolo Akili Robinson @yoloakili.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Equipping communities with more tools to hold intergenerational healing spaces for grief and distress and to de-escalate mental health crises without cops isn’t woo-woo. It’s fortifying our communities for the fight ahead. It’s preparing us for the fallout of our systems. It’s abolition planning. 011
Yolo Akili Robinson @yoloakili.bsky.social · 27/08/2026How do we become safer for one another while living in a world that is becoming increasingly unsafe for us? 011
Yolo Akili Robinson @yoloakili.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Each time it becomes more unimaginable. Unfathomable. Cyclical white supremacist violence born from people who have murdered their own souls and then come for everyone else. 031
Yolo Akili Robinson @yoloakili.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Music often reflects the times. And it’s so odd to be in this moment with all this racist violence and distress, and all we have is ass & booty poppin songs. Now I love to shake my ass; but you got wonder where are the artists using music to move us to action and resistance. 031
Yolo Akili Robinson @yoloakili.bsky.social · 07/08/2026I blame the people who built this system. Everyone of them. To build a monster u knew could mutate into this- you are just as culpable. 041
Yolo Akili Robinson @yoloakili.bsky.social · 07/08/2026The wounds of ICE & this fascist immigration system will last lifetimes. The grief of loss; families torn apart, little ones losing parents, tias, abuela’s. The anxiety of living under the threat of sudden kidnapping. ICE Camps giving babies drinking water filled with worms. There is no excuse. 021
Yolo Akili Robinson @yoloakili.bsky.social · 06/08/2026We cannot heal the colonial wounds of the African Diaspora without centering Ayiti and Haitians in the core of our political and spiritual work. Any Global Black liberation effort that does not fight with Haitians can never claim to fight against Anti-Blackness. 042
Yolo Akili Robinson @yoloakili.bsky.social · 28/07/2026To claim to care about Black liberation and be silent as Haitians across the world are targeted, violated and denigrated? Hypocrites. Every one of you. 01612
Yolo Akili Robinson @yoloakili.bsky.social · 25/07/2026You can agree with people in ideology but differ in terms of social behavior and how those ideologies are practiced. This is my nice way of saying u can think alike but that don’t mean ya’ll move the same. 061
Yolo Akili Robinson @yoloakili.bsky.social · 25/07/2026In an time when fascism is growing in unmitigated rates; it’s so curious how little the music of the popular moment reflects this. Don’t get me wrong ima shake my ass- but where are the artists who are inspiring us to fight back with their music? 120
Yolo Akili Robinson @yoloakili.bsky.social · 25/07/2026Colonizers keep punishing Haitians for being apart of a legacy that dared to make liberation real— and the Anti-Blackness across the diaspora colludes in silence to keep it going 031
Yolo Akili Robinson @yoloakili.bsky.social · 25/07/2026It is very curious to me- the Organizations and leaders who claim to care about Black Liberation but have been silent as Haitians are being targeted and violated across the world. 050

Yolo Akili Robinson @yoloakili.bsky.social · 29/04/2026Sometimes we have to sit with the grief and sadness and let it flow thru us. Cry out the times we couldn’t help someone more. Cry out the death and pain we haven’t been able to stop even as we have had to watch it everyday. Grieve to make space for the rage. Grieve to make space for the resistance 021
Yolo Akili Robinson @yoloakili.bsky.social · 29/04/2026The air feels so heavy right now. Heavy with grief. Heavy with despair. Heavy with loss. So many people fighting against insurmountable obstacles. So many folks carrying emotional despair. Don’t let the social media performances delude you. For far too many, It’s a really difficult time. 033
Yolo Akili Robinson @yoloakili.bsky.social · 10/04/2026At this point, I ain’t got nothing healing and loving to offer fam. We just need to run up in the streets. Without a permit. Because this is unacceptable at this stage of human existence. We all fucking know better. 031

Yolo Akili Robinson @yoloakili.bsky.social · 08/04/2026A system truly rooted in rigor and accountability would never allow a dictator to rise. Only performative systems that sway ethically with the sunrise— sullied by the shadows of the unaccounted sins of their fathers can make this real. A grand disappointment to humanity. 051

Yolo Akili Robinson @yoloakili.bsky.social · 01/04/2026Epstein and the men around him Are just a continuation of a long standing history of European American men violating women and men’s bodies for power and control 041
Yolo Akili Robinson @yoloakili.bsky.social · 01/04/2026Make no mistake, reparations and restoration has not been done, because most do no believe inherently that they did anything wrong. They believe they “won” - and it’s just life. They have no ethic that holds them to what their forefathers have done. 031
Yolo Akili Robinson @yoloakili.bsky.social · 01/04/2026The spiritual institutions that taught Europeans to see themselves separate from nature, land and the cycles of spirit set the stage for the murderous rampage of colonization that continues today. 021
Yolo Akili Robinson @yoloakili.bsky.social · 01/04/2026To hang children and celebrate it. To set humans on fire. No group in the world is more troubled then many of the descendants of Europe who are so disconnected and in pain they will murder and bleed all over us rather than face the deep generational distress in themselves 152
Yolo Akili Robinson @yoloakili.bsky.social · 01/04/2026The early colonizers were never held accountable. The patterns they produced were never healed nor interrupted. Do u know what u have to be to hate the way they hated? To murder whole civilizations? Rape, kill children en masse? What do u have to become to do that? 121
Yolo Akili Robinson @yoloakili.bsky.social · 01/04/2026European Americans need to find their culture. Whiteness was made to erase ur identity. You have a heritage beyond consumption. Need to learn from the grandmothers & elders of Italy, Spain, Ireland, Britain- those who still hold vestiges of ur lineage that are connected to land and spirit. 161
Yolo Akili Robinson @yoloakili.bsky.social · 01/04/2026Until the descendants of Europe in the Americas heal the lineage of murder, racism, death and colonization in themselves and their communities- this cycle of denial and delusion will continue on for infinity. 051
