White voters, damn near 74 million of them, are choosing for FASCISM to be the country they want. It is not only the GOP. Challenge white voters. You are an opinion hosts/journalists. Challenge white voters. You have that power (Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O’Donnell, et al) and you aren’t using it.

You can't lynch me and keep me in ghettos without becoming something monstrous yourselves.

#History is not the past. It is the present. We carry our history with us. We are our history. If we pretend otherwise, to put it very brutally, we literally are criminals.

‘Force does not work the way its advocates think in fact it does.
It does not, for example, reveal to the victim the strength of the adversary.
On the contrary, it reveals the weakness, even the panic of the adversary.’

🔥🎙NEW EPISODE (Thursday) - THE POLITICRAT daily #podcast Season 4, Episode 116: If There’s A Winner Tonight It’s The Orange Menace Who Got Indicted And Abetted Again—Here’s Why https://bit.ly/3OZNPn5 #Spotify #BBCBreakfast #r4today #BlackMastodon #Mastodon🔥
The U.S. corporate news media is covering this indictment EXACTLY the way the piece of garbage wants it to be covered, not the way you as a viewer needs to have it covered. Covering it this way only aids and abets this criminal thug further.
You will not want to miss THE POLITICRAT tonight. Coming up in the next hour or so. Late night! 🔥
Disabled, Black queer in need. I recently set up a #ThroneGifts wishlist to help me save for furniture and other things, like a new pot set. Here it is:
https://throne.com/singsongraptor/wishlist
Otherwise I'd be very grateful for instacart gift cards because we will need food after moving! We really need food now, but it's easier not to have to transport a bunch of perishables.

#Disabled, queer Black family is in need of housing help! Our landlord is raising rent & we're barely scraping by as is, so we need to move to be able to afford survival, but barely scraping by means it's very hard to save for 1st, last & security for a new place. We need to leave by July 1st. Our goal is 2500 for expenses & replacing broken furniture!
My savings jar is here

This country is so infantile. The culture—so infantile. And frankly the media coverage of this indictment is so sensationalized. I’ll be talking about this and something called “right vs. wrong” on the next POLITICRAT tonight.
Well, white America, do you want a dictator or don’t you? (At least 75 million of you do, based on the 2020 presidential election results.)
Black people in the USA have had a dictator for centuries:

atlantic is a sea of bones.
my bones.
my elegant afrikans
connecting whydah and new york,
a bridge of ivory.
seabed they call it.
in its arms my early mothers sleep.
some women leapt with their babies in their arms.
some women wept and threw the babies in.
maternal armies pace the atlantic floor.
i call my name into the roar of surf
and something awful answers.

Hello! Thanks to everyone's support I've managed to completely clear a $2000 debt I had! This is incredible and I'm so thankful! Help me continue to pay off debt and get ready to move out this winter! #disability #blm #BlackMastodon #housing #disabilityaid #mutualaid #vancouver #actuallyautistic
As a #Black #vegan, I consider drinking the #milk of our fellow animals to be just as bad, if not worse, as eating their flesh, from both health and ethical perspectives.

Mary Fields was more than just a mail carrier, a laundress, a housekeeper. She not only defied societal expectations but also transcended the limitations placed upon her by her race, gender, and age. Her perseverance and independence made her an tower of strength and resilience. In an unforgiving era, Mary Fields led an extraordinary life. That life challenges the stereotypes of Black Americans as passive victims of racial oppression.
6/9
Retiring after 8 years, Mary settled down, opening a laundry, tending to her garden, and supporting the local baseball team by selling flowers. The town of Cascade, Montana, granted Mary an exception when women were prohibited from entering bars and closed its schools to celebrate her birthday. After a life that spanned over 80 years, Mary Fields was laid to rest below the mountain trail leading to St. Peter's Mission in 1914.
5/9
Mary became a Star Route Carrier, an independent contractor for the U.S. Post Office, around the age of 60. She carried & delivered mail using a stagecoach donated by Mother Amadeus Convent. Mary's preparedness with her revolver and rifle protected the mail from bandits. She was called "Stagecoach Mary" for her ability to drive the stagecoach across all terrains, regardless of the weather.
