Never let them forget this. No matter what happens in the next few years, no matter how many dems we vote into office, no matter how much better things seem to get, never let them forget how they simply let Trump supporters white terrorists storm the capitol. Never let them forget how they killed and gassed and arrested black people peacefully fighting for their basic right to live but held their hands up when the alt right attempted a coup just a few months later. Never.
Can you imagine the violence that would have been perpetrated on BLM protesters if they had breached the Capitol? This is absurd.
What “this leak is the gravest, most unforgivable sin”?
Forcing pregnancy upon someone isn’t?
To the whistleblower who knew the consequences and still did it, thank you. That is bravery. To do right amongst it all. The laws were meant to be broken when the autonomy of someone’s body is not respected.

In case it has to be made clear, the people invading the Capitol are terrorists. Plain and simple. Media needs to stop calling them protesters. They’re not. They. Are. TERRORISTS.
At the RNC, there was just a pipe bomb found. It was detonated. I’m so fucking sick of this. Acting like this isn’t that bad. IT IS THAT BAD.
This is on Trump. This is on Cruz. This is on Hawley.
I think what a lot of white people genuinely do not understand is that all kinds of racism is bad. There isn't a ladder marked with "acceptable" and "unacceptable" racism.
- The person purposefully joking about your native name even after you've explained its spelling and pronunciation to them and begged them to use it correctly? Racist
- The person who is "okay with" racial minorities existing but doesn't want to see that portrayed on tv / doesn't feel like representation is necessary? Racist
-And I know. I know how hard it is when you are in a privileged position and you're being asked to care about things you don't know much about. But after someone has pointed it out to you, you better try to change.
- "but these mindsets don't hurt anyone" news flash, they do. Just because someone isn't throwing tear gas at protesters doesn't mean their bigotry isn't harmful!
- Put yourself in our shoes for a moment. How would you feel if someone told you they don't want to see anyone like you in the media they consume? That your identity is too complicated for them and they want to water it down to make it easier?
- Again, this is not targeted towards anybody or a callout post. I'm just asking you to take a very hard look at these little things because they GROW. No one comes out the womb being a white supremacist. These things start small and keep adding up.
- This is just a word vomit because I was Angry and you are absolutely not required to rb this or anything! Have a nice day.
