Just real quick gotta say that if a man can come into his greatest power at eighty, we must apply that same standard to women okay carry on with the celebrations
Those responsible must be found, investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I condemn anyone who uses violence to attempt to silence the voices of others.
Race is the single greatest defining factor in how people voted last election & this one. And it’s about white reaction to the prospect of America no longer being a majority-white nation. Ppl don’t want to confront how white ppl control the electoral landscape & what that means.
The #AntiBlack community showing up for Black Lives in Portland by posturing white candidates is everything Portlandia and nothing less than we expected #ThisIsWhitelandia protecting the plantation 💁🏾♀️
Not only were enslaved ppl in America not immigrants, that narrative repeatedly separates blackness from concepts of indigeneity. As descendants of the enslaved, we are reduced to being inventions of the American colonial system with no origins beyond our role in race hierarchy.

"I don't care about the TRO!"

This is what a police state looks like. I'd better never hear that "this is what a democracy looks like" chant again, we don't live in one
One more attempt! Any POC that has been arrested in Portland and marked as white please reach out to me! Completely anonymous, don't have any questions, just looking to see how many people this has happened to.
(Portland protestors please retweet if you're able, I need numbers!)
A reminder. Feds are still in Portland. DHS is still attempting undercover arrests. Ted Wheeler is still gassing his citizens. Our governor is still working with Trump administration. No real changes have been made.
