A black man named James Bond served 60 days in jail for stating his legal name to a police officer. It was obstruction for stating his legal name in “a joking fashion.” And blackness. Always blackness.

Awful. Awful way to die. The anxiety they must have had getting on to it in the first place. The noises the vessel inevitably made before it tore apart. The families not knowing what happened, and may never truly know.

Those poor migrants. They only wanted a better life.

TW: Lynching

The lynching of Jordan Neely is what happens when you blame every violent thing that happens in this country on mental illness because while it excuses violent behavior from white people, it criminalizes mental illness in Black people.

The man who choked him

A girl in my class from 8th grade to graduation was named Helen but told everybody to call her Misty.

Every time a teacher took attendance and said 'Helen,' she would reply with, 'It's Misty.'

They just called her that. We all did. Thought nothing of it.

It's not difficult.

I have reinstalled Twitter to respond to this story and make sure my voice is fully heard. I am Casey.

My real name is Alex but my mom decided it would be best to hide it for anonymity. But this is my story, not hers. This is not the free press’s story.

When I was a teen, my stance on gay marriage was “I don’t care” and then I heard a conservative say “I don’t care either, it’s why I don’t think they should” and I’d go “…no that means you DO care, NOT caring means you’ll just let them” and he couldn’t wrap his head around this.

a few months ago i wrote about how der sturmer, a pro-nazi paper in 1930s and 40s germany, laid the groundwork for the holocaust by linking every crime to jewish people.

anyhow, here is the front page of rupert murdoch's ny post today.

we’ve experienced school shootings nonstop for decades and democrats and republicans couldn’t come together to assure the safety of children in the US, but they have somehow come together unanimously over tiktok. ok.

Today is not a good day. I can't stop crying. I hurt so fucking bad. I try so damn hard to not fall apart but every day it gets harder. I push my feelings down and put on a mask. I'm not just the pissed off dad. I'm the broken dad. The dad that is in excruciating pain because

lose weight? and this ass along with it?? no thank you

This girl said on Tiktok, AND I QUOTE,

“Whiteness gives us access to everything BUT oppression. That’s the one thing we can’t colonize.”

Y’all I screamed. Folks get it.

holy fucking shit, if Germany can teach its children about the Holocaust, America can teach its children about racism

lmao
