Its okay to call out non white actors, directors, artists, etc for their fucked upness. I hate to break it to y’all but upholding and putting people of color on these weird pedestals is ALSO a form of dehumanization.

Just because someone creates media that you fuck with does not make them a god or even a decent human being.

The amount of people tagging this as taika LMAOOO

BIDEN IS NOT KING! IF YOU NEED TO BLAME SOMEONE LOOK AT FUCKING MITCH MCCONNELL

So, here’s the thing. We’ve heard Democrat presidential candidates promise to codify Roe before. Obama did, and he came into office with a supermajority, a Democrat-written bill to codify Roe, and a filibuster-proof supermajority. After he was elected, codifying Roe was no longer “my priority” for the President. The bill went nowhere, Obama lost his majority, and here we are.

You might remember that Biden was that guy’s VP. As a conservative, Catholic “ticket balancer.”

He had zero intention of doing anything.

Anyway pointing out how overturning roe will disproportionately affect people of color especially black people does not hurt the cause of feminism or class consciousness or whatever. It is fine & normal & necessary actually to point out how abortion access is often determined by your zip code or your income or your health insurance & how these issues intersect with systemic racism. Use your brains please

Bringing this one back again bc reproductive rights are & have always been tied to race & black people will continue to face the brunt of this. Also terfs please kill yourselves seriously this post is not for you

I literally do not care what the Bible says about any political issue. I am not Christian. Christian scripture should have zero effect on my life or my personal freedoms.

don’t sign up for protests, don’t talk about going to protests on social media, don’t text people about going to protests, leave your phone at home. wear a mask. leave no personally identifiable information.

and watch out for undercover cops

(don’t take your phone period, unless it’s a burner)

for teargas i would add, based on advice i saw in 2020:

1. if you aren't being rushed by cops, WALK DON'T RUN. yell that mantra to the people around you if you have breath. someone will fall, get trampled, and trip others.

2. make a corridor so people who were closer to canisters can leave faster than people who only got lightly gassed.

3. call out medics and tear gas flushes so people who can't see can find them. if you're going to help guide someone, tell them what you're doing before you touch them

4. wash, then keep any contaminated gear in a sealed container away from your other belongings. when you're no longer getting gassed regularly, THROW IT AWAY. it will not get clean over time, i've heard of people getting stinging eyes and sore throats literally years later.
