Listened to the amazing ep 184 of @ForTheWild_ with @brontevelez before bed, and dreamt this word up. Such a profound feast of a conversation. Thank you both Bronte and Ayana.

being black is having to search what the racism is like in the countries you want to visit.

Burning a police precinct is not nearly as violent an act as holding your knee on a person’s neck for several minutes and choking the life out of them. This is another moment where the elite call upon us to feel more empathy for white property than for our own lives. I don’t 🤷🏾‍♀️

Trump doesn’t care about the 80,000+ people who’ve died from #Coronavirus! He only wants to open up the economy so he can go back to having his white power pep rallies! The death & economic devastation we are facing is b/c Trump failed to act early & called #COVID19 a HOAX!

My childhood bestfriend is dead. Not from COVID19. She died b/c a racist healthcare system means that Black women in America are 4x more likely than wyt women die from maternal health issues. She voiced her concerns to her Dr. and was ignored. She was 26. This was her last tweet.

Sometimes it still stops me in my tracks that because I believe insulin should be free, workers shld be paid justly, we shld house the homeless and not cage families, & that all people should be free to pursue education as they wish,for THAT we are treated as radical & dangerous.
