hi war is just the most vulnerable people fighting battles on behalf of the rich and powerful for an end that will not benefit anyone other than the rich and powerful

An incomplete list of British crimes across the world under the reign of Elizabeth II

In 1952 Churchill argued Kenyas fertile highlands should only be for white ppl and and approved the forcible removal of the local pop. Hundreds of thousands of Kenyans were forced into camps.

@HorrocksCaitlin I can only hope 🤞

These stories out of Highland Park about kids knowing exactly what to do when the shooting began, and guiding parents based on their active shooting drills, embody the burden of violence this next generation of kids endure because of the inaction of their elders

At least 5 people killed and 16 others taken to the hospital in shooting at the Fourth of July parade in Highland Park, Illinois. An event, it should be noted, that was full of police who didn’t stop the shooting and still haven’t caught the shooter. Cops don’t keep us safe.

A mass shooting at a 4th of July parade pretty much sums up where this country is at right now. Nothing to celebrate and tragedy after tragedy.

Folks across the political spectrum keep trying to make trans identity a scapegoat for the compounding catastrophes of structural whiteness. Incredible. 1/

Body cam footage confirms that Akron cops murdered Jayland Walker. He was running away when they hit him with 60 shots. In over 2 years since the murder of George Floyd there's been a massive panic over "defund the police," they were never defunded, and they just keep killing.

This is what a judicial coup looks like

Today marks the end of what is surely one of the worst terms in #SCOTUS history. Guns and prayer and abortion got most of the attention. But that's not all the Court did. Here are just some of the Court's bad decisions:

However, I don’t think he will. I am not shocked. But I am horrified.
This isn’t about the 17 year old boy who sat behind me.
It’s about systemic racism, a desire to control and police women and their bodies, and a way to use religion as a weapon.

When he said this to me, I looked back at him and said, “You voted for you, I voted for the LGBT community, disabled people, women of color, and BIPOC. You have no idea what this is going to become.”
I hope now he understands we were not overreacting. (3/?)

@jhnnymcpher I want Roslyn by Bon Iver & St Vincent as heard in the Twilight: New Moon Soundtrack as one

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

FYI this isn't stopping. There have been 18 mass shootings SINCE Uvalde.

You need to know this. Because it's not going to stop until we do something.

@jhnnymcpher He looks like Sean Hayes on this SNL skit

[Mikki Kendall @Karnythia]

I brought this up in Hood Feminism & I'm going to say it again white women as a voting bloc have a lot of power. And the majority of white women voters are using that power to uphold white supremacy because they believed it would protect them. All that's on offer is subjugation.
