[Thread] The most racist Ukraine coverage on TV News.

1. The BBC - “It’s very emotional for me because I see European people with blue eyes and blonde hair being killed” - Ukraine’s Deputy Chief Prosecutor, David Sakvarelidze

In the train stations here in Kyiv, children first, women second, white men third, then the remaining is occupied by Africans. This means that we have waited for many hours for trains here & couldn’t enter because of this.

Majority of Africans are still waiting to get to Lviv.

Worst of all, right wing nationalists in Congress wasted no time aligning themselves with a hateful dictator currently threatening the life of one of few Jewish ✡️ heads of state outside of Israel, President @ZelenskyyUa.

This is not something anyone can ignore.

As @terrelljstarr reminded me, Putin dehumanizes ethnic Ukrainians, talks about them as “white trash” disposable to his supremacist whims.

Putin 🇷🇺
Trump 🇺🇸
Bolsinaro 🇧🇷
Duterte 🇵🇭

All bigoted, misogynistic abusers who punch down on their own people to enrich themselves💰🛢💣

@jemelehill It's simple...hire black people. He's acting like there aren't any qualified black people to hire....that is false and a damaging narrative.

Maybe you don’t know.

Why is “Jim Crow 2.0” an apt description for the new voting laws?

A thread

In all my Florida years 🤬

[The Associated Press @AP]

A Florida bill that would prohibit public schools and private businesses from making white people feel “discomfort” when they teach students or train employees about discrimination in the nation’s past received its first approval Tuesday.

Many conservative parents today would rather give their kids COVID than a book written by a Black author that talks about racism.

Tell me who's the snowflake?

[Nathalie Baptiste 🇭🇹 @nhbaptiste]

this tweet is designed to get conservatives moralizing about crime so it conveniently leaves out that 301 of those officers died of COVID.

[Jessie Singer @JessieSingerNYC]

Between 1999-2019 in the U.S., Black people were killed in “accidental” residential fires at more than twice the rate of white people. Their deaths are not accidents but the direct result of infrastructural negligence.

On top of that, there was no communication/notice prior to the change in schedule for Metro bus this morning...my son waited for 15 minutes for the 60 bus, that was never coming because Saturday schedule means no bus for that route.

[Ellyon Bell @ellyonbell]

@MurielBowser @MayorBowser @wmata This is what happens when you limit metrobus to Saturday schedule during a weekend....this will address the Omicron spike by INCREASING transmission for those of us who still need to use Metrobus

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

In the coming days, students, teachers, nurses and workers will be striking to demand safer working conditions.

Do not gaslight them. Do not blame them. Do not cross the picket line.

This is the time to show our support and solidarity.

No one is safe until everyone is safe.
