“They honestly believed that it was impossible for a black woman to have this kind of stamina, to be this stubborn.” MaNgutyana on her way to cast her vote on this day in 1994.
Yall see how ableism intersects with fascism? How vulnerabilities become dangerous in the hands of communities that hate vulnerable ppl? If you’re someone who mocks masking when immunocompromised ppl ask you to mask, do you recognize yourself here?

Aimé Césaire: "No one colonizes innocently, that no one colonizes with impunity either; that a nation which colonizes, that a civilization which justifies colonization—and therefore force—is already a sick civilization, a civilization which is morally diseased."

I just drove by a retirement community in Baltimore. Residents are gathered outside wearing keffiyehs, waving Palestinian flags. Not a huge crowd but out of frame they stretch the block. Heartwarming!
"i don't see yall marching for Congo" that's because YOU are not involved and paying attention in any way 😅 there's an entire movement for Congo, and it's discussed alongside Palestine, Haiti, Cuba, etc. at every single event i've been to. you're really just telling on yourself

biden will tell you donald trump is bad and must be defeated at any cost, but he's spending all his time supporting evil & unpopular foreign policy, cracking down on student protests, & banning young people's favourite app. in an election year! that's the democrat party for ya

RIGHT NOW. 800,000 people. 800,000 who took refuge in El Fasher, Darfur, Sudan have *no where to go*. The RSF is moving in. The same RSF that is known for committing war crimes, genocide. Experts are calling it a ‘Kill Box’. Ya Allah. Ya Allah. x.com/pass_blue/stat…

You can’t protest. You can’t march. You can’t chant. You can’t express solidarity or wear certain symbols. But if you slaughter and starve 2 million people in a tiny enclave that’s fine. Have I understood right?
Y’all are treating these protests like they fell out of a coconut tree lol

The Black Panthers understood one thing very well: if you want to keep a protest peaceful against a violent oppressive regime, you’ve gotta make sure the state knows you can and will defend yourself.
it’s actually crazy that cops behave that way and then get to live in society with the rest of us
Too bad we didn't actually defund the police or lessen their grip on society a few years back.
For Refaat, Al-Shymaa, Mohammad, Abdulrahman and the thousands of families robbed of love and life because of Israel’s genocide. We will bring hope. We will make it a beautiful tale.

Crazy. I wonder if it has something to do with rent being unaffordable, food being unaffordable, insurance being unaffordable, daycare being unaffordable, college being unaffordable, home owning being unaffordable, medical care being unaffordable, and a pandemic.

I quite enjoy the stillness of love. How two lives become woven together and slowly move towards a routine. The mundane day-to-day business, checkins, laughs and warm silence in conversations. Like a sunset walk, in the cool of the day…a calming experience.
@MasonwabeWeber Posts like this make me cringe a bit. We can't be comparing SA to the likes of Europe. Yes we enjoy our perceived quality of life but the government has made it very hard to enjoy it and has made living unbearable for most. More than 40% of adults borrow money to live.

the thing about therapy in the west ime is that they will give you tools to cope with your oppression, but never tools to dismantle your oppression. there is so much that goes unaddressed because your primarily goal is to be able to go back to work and not make a fuss.
