here’s your daily reminder that Sister Rosetta Tharpe, a black bisexual woman, invented rock & roll
Health crisis, economic crisis and now a political crisis.
you need to sit back and analyze just how privileged you are if you get to say "i dont want to talk about or look at what's happening right now. i dont want this negativity." poc, especially black people, cant just decide that like others can. they can't just close their eyes and ignore posts and be comfortable and sheltered. theyre forced into this situation. theyre the ones experiencing the murders, the abuse, the racism, that youre so damn privileged to be able to just click away from. silence is violence in it's own way. use your voice to uplift the downtrodden instead of pretending it's not happening just outside of your picket fences.
seattle police fired tens of canisters of tear gas indiscriminately into a crowd, they flanked us, they fired fucking flash bangs directly into the crowd, if you are downtown right now please get out they are not fucking around and they are going for everyone, they maced a fucking ten year old little girl

HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE!
hey white mutuals posting about unrelated topics- i see you. hold this bitch accountable for his actions.
do you guys realize that…the videos and articles about the “good cops” who are “protesting” are propaganda designed to make you think “not all cops are bad”? do you realize that when the chief of police of flint said “let’s not make this a protest, let’s make it a parade,” he was successfully de-escalating the situation and dissolving the protest?
the police force has been corrupt since long before you and i were born. people don’t become cops to protect and serve, they become cops to feel strong and to use their strength against others. you are falling for propaganda if you believe that white men kneeling a la colin kaepernick mean the cops you see firing rubber bullets and batoning people are the exception to the rule.
all cops are bastards. full stop.
