.@SEPTA_SOCIAL@SEPTAPHILLY@SEPTA@SEPTANews why are there two buses blocking either end of my street on Poplar between 3rd & 4th? No one who lives here can get out but the roads are too narrow for the buses.
I’m not interested in white people telling me why they believe it’s not racist to disparage Black women and question their intelligence, call Black pilots unqualified, lie on Black people with false crime statistics, say that Black people were less criminal before they were given human rights, call the Civil Rights Act a “mistake,” say MLK was “not a good person,” deny the existence of systemic racism, call George Floyd a “scumbag,” delegitimize Black pain, and call justice advocates “existential threats to white Christian America.”
This is disgusting: In a shocking moment, the distraught wife of an undocumented immigrant is shoved hard into a wall by an ICE agent, and then slammed to the ground. This inhumane treatment cannot be tolerated.
🚨Make sure everyone sees this.
Black people in America are not "making everything about race." We live in a nation that is erasing evidence of our history, celebrating a man who demeaned and maligned us, polluting our neighborhoods with toxins, ending lifesaving services to our communities, and suppressing our votes.
The United States of America has been consistently culpable in "making everything about race."
It's beyond time to end anti-Black racism.
Join in doing that.
🚨BREAKING: Trump melts down over Rep. Jasmine Crockett - mocking her name, calling her “a very low IQ person,” and then suggests Somalia should “take back Illhan Omar.”
This is straight racism and misogyny. MAGA attacks women of color because they FEAR their power. Period.
Trump is reportedly preparing an executive order to ban transgender Americans from serving in the military.
This would medically discharge 15,000 soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines.
This is un-American and will make us less safe. But hey, a bunch of civilians on X love it.
@FarFarrAway As the Comms. Director for the *real* Philly Fire Dept. - this movie was hilarious 😂 I don't think they intended it to be a comedy, but it was - whizout a doubt - hysterical. #gobirds
Chin up, team. Take some time. Take care of yourself. Take care of your loved ones. Take care of your community.
There are a million ways to make a difference—get back in the fight when you’re ready.
And know that, whenever you are ready, I’ll be ready to get back in with you.
You still have your family.
You still have your friends.
You still have your work.
You still have your passions.
You still have your diversions.
You still have the capacity to feel joy, and the means of doing so.
You still have your mind, which is and will always be yours alone.
And you still have the ability, no matter how difficult it may seem, to choose to carry on with your life, and spend the one and only existence you will get for all eternity in as loving, fulfilling, and authentic a way as you possibly can.
It took several days to count every ballot in 2020, and it’s very likely we won’t know the outcome tonight either. So please keep a few things in mind as you make your voice heard today:
– Thousands of election workers around the country are working hard today. Respect them. Thank them.
– Don’t share things before checking your sources.
– Let the process run its course. It takes time to count every ballot.
