I just heard the vultures are already descending to Columbus. To the grassroots orgs on the ground, SHUT THAT SHIT DOWN! STOP MAKING THESE PPL RICH! #caddyCrew #TalcumX

The danger of the Chauvin guilty verdict is that one successful prosecution will overshadow thousands and thousands of non-prosecutions, past present and future. The problem is police *power*, not individual cops.

MN Attorney Gen said it himself: this verdict "is NOT justice."

As Derek Chauvin was being found guilty at 4:00 PM today; police in Columbus, Ohio took another life. Makiah Bryant, a 15 year old Black girl was murdered today at 4:30 PM. This system needs to be abolished. #SayHerName

America is exhausting...there is a thin line between victories and continuities when it comes to The police.

[Cooperation Jackson @CooperationJXN]

In order to sustain the social order, the ruling class will sacrifice a few of their operatives from time to time. Don't be fooled by a guilty verdict today. #GeneralStrike

[Nick Estes @nickwestes]

The Chauvin trial didn’t stop cops from killing people. A verdict won’t either. Only the people organized and pushing for abolition can do that.

In 2010, MF Doom was denied re-entry into the United States during the Obama administration, as a result, spent the last 10 years of his life in exile.

A reminder that today's holiday is instituted by the same powers that murdered Rev. Dr. King and we refuse to whitewash his legacy. #RadicalKing #ReclaimMLK

@eco_creative2 @KeeangaYamahtta https://t.co/PQWoPZKQDB Has been doing just that. Get involved and let's make it happen.

[Mike Bento @MixedTactics]

@royaltheartist @Thebignewdeal @nhannahjones I agree with that. The point was that whiteness signifies Europeans and because we know certain genetic markers also came from Europe we can use those markers as proxies for race. But word, we shouldn't combine the categories of genetics and race such as in the phrase "25% white"

When I see people condemning the #KenoshaRiots all I think of is this:

@nhannahjones @royaltheartist Well, even without DNA anyone who's read contemperary accounts from the antebellum south like Toquville, et al. knows the number of "mulattos" was "scandalous" But @royaltheartist is trolling not making a historical argument.

[Mike Bento @MixedTactics]

@noname For those who seem confused in the comments, Black culture is anti-colonial and underlies many of the cultural aspects of specific ethnic groups who are racialized as Black. This does not mean that Black people do not internalize and re-produce white culture, they absolutely can.

[Mike Bento @MixedTactics]

@noname Whiteness is the violent death cult of colonialism, insofar as "white culture" exists, that's it: violence. Now Catalan people, Scottish people, Irish people, and Basque people all have rich cultures insofar as they are not bound to whiteness.
