[VitaMena @nicainseattle]

@KingCountyWA historically and currently systematically targeting black and brown and poor people and neighborhoods that they inhabit

@NFL less token black people and more public apologizing to Kap, give him a contract, back pay, plus interest.

[VitaMena @nicainseattle]

I don’t think Brady could have possibly ever imagined that he would become such a hated symbol of white supremacist masculinity but I guess that’s what you get when the NFL awards you #affirmativeaction

I would just like to remind the NFL that an MLK commercial does not erase their targeting of kapernick or their promotion of systemic racism or their probable electoral support of Trump and his cronies.

That’s the thing with learning boundaries it has to go from one extreme (none) to another (harsh) before you find your middle

[nubs 🇳🇮 #SOSNicaragua #BLM @Nuby_Parraless]

do you ever just remember what the US has done to Latin America and get triggered out of nowhere? :-)

[VitaMena @nicainseattle]

Boundaries and accountability aren’t easy things to do with people who haven’t done their work.

Getting ready for vacation and feeling this deeply.

We are the first in a long lineage to be able to heal our trauma and that of our ancestors.

[VitaMena @nicainseattle]

My girls and I were having some good chisme when one of them pointed out how we are no longer only talking about survival.

[VitaMena @nicainseattle]

Trauma that is carried on by both White and POC bodies intergenerationally

[VitaMena @nicainseattle]

White supremacy only talks about the “violence and savagery” of native tribes and indigenous empires but we never talk about the Tower of London, White cannabalism, the Witch hunts, etc.

[VitaMena @nicainseattle]

Trauma that was inflicted by white bodies on white bodies that was later inflicted on brown and black bodies and continues today.

At an ethics training which confirmed that the foundation of it all is not protecting humans but a fear of being sued or having your license revoked.
