Ancestors, forgive me for the times I desired a seat at a table you would’ve flipped.

This spectacle of non-policing is quite something. In one of the world’s most militarized cities. A stark reminder that in this settler democracy, the seat of power is a comfortable & welcoming space for white supremacist violence.

Honestly, the fact that anyone would respond to this election by asking, “how can we make more appeals to people who voted for Trump?” and not “How do we invest more in BIPOC organizing & appealing to the poor & people who didn’t vote at all?” is about being invested in whiteness

Side note: results of this election still confirm things are shifting in the south & reflect the relentless efforts of grassroots organizers there. The tendency to ignore the details of the results & focus solely on whether a state is “red or blue” on the map misses a lot. 1/

They said Broadway was cancelled this season due to COVID-19. I'm not sure if this is true. The DNC and RNC were such fantastical shows. What a performance.

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee has enacted a controversial law that makes racial justice protests on state grounds a felony crime, meaning convicted activists would be stripped of the right to vote in the upcoming election. https://t.co/HOqAX1oIU8

Lovvvvvvvve to see countless benign tropes of race, gender, sexuality removed. Won't change in the marco until storytellers from said communities are resourced & employed equally, to tell their OWN stories. #ARRAYNow

The extent to which BlackRock is consolidating power over public finances in country after country under cover of this pandemic is the biggest story we should all be talking about. https://t.co/9ze1plN7uP

Super concerning that @CityofAtlanta hasn't yet closed restaurants, bars, cultural and entertainment venues - with 121 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in GA (and the number steadily rising).
