“If your concern with the murder of Black people by police can be deterred or shifted because someone is taking a pair of jeans from a Target, then you’ve got to look at how much you cared about the murder of the Black people by the police to begin with."- @ava #OWNSpotlight
I've never met anyone who was worried about being CALLED a racist, who didn't harbor racist beliefs. What racist people DONT want, is to face CONSEQUENCES for their racism. Fun fact, don't start none, won't be none. Don't wanna be called a racist? Dont do racist shit.
I apologize for no audio on the screen record.
Protesters are screaming at looters in downtown sac, begging them not to break things and destroy property.
It’s important to see what a lot of media won’t show.
You can’t ask for peace if your not willing to give JUSTICE....people want JUSTICE. It’s that simple....Throw all of those cops in jail NOOOOOWWW. That’s taking action....Point blank!!!! This is what we want to see.....JUSTICE.
Ahmaud Arbery can’t get “justice.” He should be alive. We need a system of laws that honors black humanity, one that doesn’t inherently endanger our safety. Convict Arbery’s murderers—but also fix the America that killed him. My latest for @RollingStone. https://t.co/Iq0EC7BgGC
Two days ago: "We will not be touching your Social Security or Medicare in Fiscal Year 2021 Budget.” -Trump
Today: #TrumpBudget proposes $800 billion in cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
Pass it on.
The policing, criticism, and all other forms of bullshit ass commentary about our hair... KEEP FIGHTING!!! They truly believe if you stay quiet, they've won. Don't be quiet. Do not let this stand.
I think I remember someone named Colin Kaepernick taking a knee to protest the police killings of unarmed black people and being blackballed from the NFL because of it. I had to have been dreaming, right?
We haven’t talked enough about the fact that Mitch McConnell’s wife works for and reports directly to the defendant. Her income is derived directly from the defendant. Is a Senator going to make a motion that the Chief Justice will have to rule on? McConnell is conflicted out.
to recap:
Trump is a genius but you can't see his grades
Trump is healthy but you can't see his medical report
Trump is wealthy but you can't see his tax returns
the call was perfect but you can't question his advisors
Sulemani was an imminent threat but you can't see the intel
The Truth Fairy
Last month, I shared a post of how we don’t do Santa in our house. Today I want to reflect on another post I wrote in 2009 explaining how we do “The Truth Fairy.” Enjoy!

As Civil Rights leaders used Christianity as a means to push for equality, white evangelicals responded by changing the gospel to focusing on wealth and power. Trump is part of this tradition and the Cult of the Shining City sees him as an embodiment of their teachings.
