Everyone needs to see what’s happening outside the ICE detention center Delaney Hall once media leaves at night.

Assaulting non violent protestors. Imagine what they do to detainees.

Filing for unemployment is dumb. 5-6 week waiting period is insane

If people going to Cuba on their own dime and delivering aid is “performative” then i wish a lot of you would get more performative right now.

I hate y’all.

Man asks why don't people in Palestine get asked about what's happening in Black America.

I have muted 10 words in the past 5 minuets. Don’t want to see anything else about it.

Yeah, the BBC and BAFTA can eat a dick.

[Variety @Variety]

EXCLUSIVE: In his first interview since the BAFTAs, "I Swear" subject John Davidson explains the Tourette's tics that led to his N-word outburst and says "I felt a wave of shame."

"I was hoping people would understand. My mind was saying: These people have seen the film. They will know I can’t help this. They will know it’s not me. This is exactly why we are here. I was saying in my head, 'Please don’t judge me. Please understand this isn’t who I am.'"

We live in the dumbest country

[Anthony Brian Logan (ABL) 🇺🇸 @ANTHONYBLOGAN]

I have a question. Why do people with tourettes never say Beetlejuice three times or Candyman five times in the bathroom mirror in the dark? Exactly.

People are openly fantasizing about assaulting disabled people.

Good. Everything is good.

Can we start the atheist discourse again?

That word is in everybody’s vocabulary

[Aokiji クザン 🇵🇸 @DukeOfZamunda]

What does tourettes have to do with saying n-word? Where in the study of this disease did they discover that it will plant that word in your vocabulary? Lmao

[ᗩᘉᖶ🐜 ☭ @TreDoesntKnow]

This whole situation has showed that y’all are not as understanding as claim to be. The immediate jump to assuming the worst about someone is concerning. Especially in this case.

[ᗩᘉᖶ🐜 ☭ @TreDoesntKnow]

@barbarismcrit

[ᗩᘉᖶ🐜 ☭ @TreDoesntKnow]

We have lost the ability to try and understand people. We’ve gone straight to assuming the worst about everyone that there is no room for understanding.

Kanye was out here wearing black Klan hoodies during interviews. He did that shit willingly. You want to talk about his mental health and all that cool. His mental issues are not his fault. However it was his responsibility to make sure he got the care he needed he didn’t do that

[Sai Ishaya @Sai_Isshayya_]

The Kanye West comparison remains the best description to show this imbalance.

He is a black man with a severe documented mental health condition and when he made antisemitic statements, the world collectively decided that his illness did not grant him a pass to spread hate. World leaders made statements, he was ostracised from a lot of his business deals, he lost millions of dollars.

The "nuance" of his severe bipolar disorder was set aside in favour of the outrage from the Jewish community. Yet, when the roles are shifted and the perpetrator is a white man with a neurological condition, the "nuance" suddenly becomes the entire story.

If an institution's first reflex is to explain away a slur rather than address the harm it caused, they aren't being inclusive, they are choosing to prioritize the social comfort of the person who spoke over the fundamental dignity of the people who were targeted.

Look at how quickly people(mostly white) online rushed in to explain that he has Tourette's. Before anyone had even finished processing what happened, the conversation had already shifted to defending the speaker. It’s not that the condition isn't real or relevant. It's that the instinct to protect the speaker seemed to arrive faster than the instinct to acknowledge the harm.

Once it comes to black people, the emotional burden is by default, expected to flip. So that the people who heard the slur are now expected to demonstrate empathy before their own reaction is even treated as legitimate.

None of this requires denying the reality of Tourette's or pretending the outburst was intentional. A neurological condition can explain why something happened without erasing what it felt like to hear it. Both truths can sit together. A fair response has to acknowledge that even with a lack of intent, the reality of the harm is still there. Aggressively writing a 10 page thesis on Tourette's to shut down conversations doesn't do anyone any favours.

[ᗩᘉᖶ🐜 ☭ @TreDoesntKnow]

Tourettes is not like that. It’s neurological. He has no control over anything he says or does. He’s not going there saying he’s going to call someone the N-word. It’s the exact opposite. He’s going there saying “please don’t let me say the n-word” or anything else offensive.
