Hey so I’m hyped that Trump’s gone and all but let’s just remember that things don’t magically get better from here on out - we have to keep working for them.
Keep supporting blm.
Keep protecting trans kids.
Keep welcoming immigrants.
Keep defending marriage equality.
Keep believing women.
Keep working to make our society more fair, just, and accepting of all.
I’m just gonna leave this here.
On one hand, these photos of Trump supporters breaching the Speaker of the House’s office and stealing the podium might be funny.
On another, they represent an absolutely terrifying reality that fascists can literally walk into the US Capitol Building, fully derail a joint session of Congress, and march around smiling like it’s a joke because it was all too easy.
Meanwhile, Black Lives Matter activists were met with armed police/military, chemical weapons, bullets, etc. for protesting in the streets. Some protestors were injured and killed. But today, cops take pictures with the Trump coup.
Take a look at this white privilege and never again tell me it doesn’t exist. Utterly embarrassing.
Let’s talk about John Boyega and when Disney Lucasfilm did to him
There was a promise Disney Lucasfilm made when they cast John Boyega as Finn, the male lead & co-protagonist of the sequel trilogy. They broke that promise & this is a conversation we need to have. John Boyega & Finn deserved better
For the longest time I wondered if people still cared about what happened to John Boyega. I wondered if the racism of Disney Lucasfilm had just gone unnoticed, but to my surprise, lots of people still do care.
So I wanted to go over what actually happened to John Boyega and his experience with Disney Lucasfilm.
Especially after this most recent tweet of theirs:
Where was this energy for John Boyega? Kelly Marie Tran? Naomi Ackie?
I support this sentiment but considering where this is coming from, the people who did nothing for Naomi Ackie, Kelly Marie Tran, Thandie Newton and participated in the racism against John Boyega by sidelining him, and mistreating every black character, this feels performative
So with that being said, I made this video where I recounted everything that Disney Lucasfilm did to John Boyega.
I want people to know this story. I want people to know what John Boyega went through. I want people to know what John Boyega meant when he said his experience in Star Wars was based off his race:
Reblog it so everyone knows.
Y’all want to see something wild?
Protesting is a FELONY in Tennessee now…Facism at it’s finest (x)
