Reflections on Jan.6 attempted white nationalist coup: We must guard against false symmetries here. This was an orchestrated riot in defense of a reigning and waning tyrant & white supremacist. It is in no way akin 2 protests demanding justice and resisting racism and oppression.

Important conversation on what ruins a lot of artists.

[a "Black-passing" Latina. @aliciasanchez]

Black and Indigenous Latinas don’t need your think peices and hot takes on Latin American identity in the United States. We’ve already written them. Do the readings. No one, and I mean NO ONE is more qualified to tell our stories than us.

We’re not burning our own communities. We’re burning plantations.

Black people are being disproportionately killed by this pandemic. Black people are being disproportionately impacted by the economic downturn. Black people are being disproportionately killed by police. Black people are being threatened in parks. Black people are exhausted.

I was mildly sick for a few days w/ covid symptoms. Then my 29 yr old healthy boyfriend got really sick. 13 days later, after a relentless fever, awful nausea, pneumonia in both lungs + a reluctant trip to ER, he is finally turning a corner today. Some things I learned:

So Banksy put a video on Instagram and deleted it almost immediately about the whole shredder in the painting. I screen recorded it for anyone who missed it!

@kileyreid Lol This could be a scene from the sequel of “Get Out” right before the brain transplant.

[Joe Kennedy III @joekennedy]

Black women are 243% more likely to die from pregnancy or childbirth than white women. We can’t have a conversation about this country’s horrifying maternal mortality rate without having a conversation about race.
