If you lose the Senate solely because Black and Latino American citizens obtain the proper representation they deserve, you didn't deserve to have it in the first place.

White dude with 2 guns, a pistol and an AK-47 with a drum mag, shoots at a store clerk and cops, is taken alive, and gets articles published about how this "isn't like him". This is what white privilege looks like. Yet saying "BLM" makes you a rioter.
Defense attorney for Pennsylvania man who shot at a store clerk in a mask incident, then opened fire on police says he was "just not handling the pandemic well."

Cops bent star points on badges each time they killed someone in one SF Bay Area city, the mayor, a former police sergeant, confirms.
Only person disciplined? The police captain who blew the whistle.

THREAD: Which Constitutional thing do you take most for granted? Probably the Post Office. Literally created in the Constitution, the Post Office is a critical part of our American fabric. But now it's in danger. 1/

Fascism isn’t just feds throwing people in vans. It’s pandemic data no longer being sent to the CDC. It’s billionaires getting bailout money while ordinary people go broke. It’s labeling people violent anarchists for graffiti. It’s real, and it’s here.

So puzzled that schools can't regulate if students wear a mask but can measure shirt hems, adjudicate whether a top is sleeveless, and judge what is acceptable hair color.

Betsy DeVos looked into a camera with her dead coelacanth eyes & said the children must go back to school because probably only 14,072 kids will die.
Did you hear her say it’s ok if your baby dies?
Or are you pretending you’re special & she meant 14,000 other people’s babies?

Also Malcolm X told us the white man will try to satisfy us with symbolic victories rather than economic equity and real justice but whatever I guess

They were just waiting for the protests to stop trending.
They'll do this in Minnesota, too if we get rocked to sleep.

When you replace
"Owned slaves" with
"Was an active and willing participant in a vast conspiracy to kidnap children from their families in order to force them into industrial and sexual servitude"
It becomes harder to write slave owning off as just a blot on one's record.

Father's Day is a good day to remind people that all phone calls and video calls for incarcerated people should be free in every prison and jail across the country. Not just during a pandemic, not just during holidays, not as a special privilege. But for everyone, all year round.

Okay I want to talk about the TikTok/K-pop stan let’s-troll-Trump operation and specifically about the data gathering aspect of it.

people joke about hockey's whiteness but the Coloured Hockey League predates the NHL and introduced the fast & furious gamestyle we see today (including invention of the slap shot)
that made them more popular than the white leagues until racism forced them to disband in the '30s
This #Juneteenth, we celebrate the Coloured Hockey League. Founded in Nova Scotia in 1895, the league was formed by the sons and grandsons of escaped slaves, whose innovations helped create hockey as we know it today.

When you ask scholars of democratic decline to name the number one red-alarm warning sign, this is almost always what they describe.

My dad is 66. 1 year older than Ruby. This isnt ancient history. There are a lot ppl who were on the wrong side of the line that are still alive today. They raised kids too. They're easy to spot. They're the ones yelling all lives matter.
