Thereโs a point in your 30s when you realize hosting BBQs & dinner parties is the new club scene & high key better without the randoms, overpriced drinks, & terrible DJs still playing Dreams & Nightmares.
People who spent 2024 telling us "both sides are the same" and spent the last year telling us "Kamala would be doing the same thing if she were in office" are suddenly asking for our support because the fascist right wing government is coming after them.
Black people started Memorial Day.
It was originally called Decoration Day and it included a parade, but the most remarkable detail to me is that the newly freed dug up bodies of Union soldiers from mass graves, identified them and gave proper burials.

This is what local accountability looks like:
In Festus, Missouri, a town of about 14,000 people, the city council quietly approved a $6 billion Ai data center to be built on 360 acres just north of Highway 67.
Residents say they were never properly heard. Meetings were held in private. Documents were released too late. A week after the approval, the town held a regular election. Voter turnout jumped 129 percent.
Every single council member who had voted yes lost in a landslide. A 70-year-old first-time candidate beat an 8-year incumbent by 40 percentage points.
Now a recall petition is circulating to remove the mayor as well. The lawsuit against the city is already filed.
Has your local government ever been held accountable like this? ๐ฅ
Mind you, when it was convenient yall was saying lame ass shit like โI am not my elders and ancestors.โ Like they were ever weak. Just for them to show up and do more than us in their seasoned years while we tweet.
