That is correct. It hurt. The blatant lack of care or accountability is a reminder to us of how little we matter - like we need another reminder.

#BBC and #BAFTA you had choice and time and we have seen what you chose - to pit #Ableism against #Racism You could have done by right by all 3 men. You insulted 2 of the best actors and left the man with Tourettes to take the fall. A sad day. Sad because it wasn’t shocking.
We used to say "never again" but as long as we are humans, good will have to fight evil. #ICE #WESEEYOU
Pure feel good.
The politics of AI are anti-human. This comparison is disgusting.
Lifting up the life of civil rights icon Jesse Jackson. Hard to lay out the range of his work and contributions and how much he inspired. They are leaving us one by one, exhorting us to pick up the mantle with courage & determination. Justice work is a lifelong commitment. Thank you Rev. Jackson.
I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like a gigantic bug destroying the town.
"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect. There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time.”
1. I think most liberals are probably familiar with one part of what has become known as Wilhoit’s Law – that the true goals of the right are inequality, injustice, repression and control. This is how composer Frank Wilhoit put it in 2018:

I am once again stating the obvious by saying that the whole “low information voters” thing is a media tactic to normalise Trumpism because what do you mean these people have the capacity to find EVERY conspiracy theory about climate change and trans people, but none to believe Trump is evil.
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

everyone who's smarter than me was right-- Palestine was the proving ground. It was a demonstration that, even in this information environment, even as it was live-streamed, genocide can happen and this global power structure is either indifferent or impotent to stand in the way.

Oh the rush to humanise some but not others, until you are othered.
A Small Needful Fact Ross Gay Is that Eric Garner worked for some time for the Parks and Rec. Horticultural Department, which means, perhaps, that with his very large hands, perhaps, in all likelihood, he put gently into the earth some plants which, most likely, some of them, in all likelihood, continue to grow, continue to do what such plants do, like house and feed small and necessary creatures, like being pleasant to touch and smell, like converting sunlight into food, like making it easier for us to breathe.
And I think about Eric Garner’s last words so often, I have this beautiful poem by Ross Gay memorised:
I think about Elijah McClain a lot. How he was a sweet, lovely young soul who used to play the violin for stray cats. How brutally his young life ended and how the State sent riot police to interrupt the violin vigil in his name. The cruelty was always the point.
This!
In the words of Frederick Douglass, “Power concedes nothing without a demand.”
Choosing your #Coloniser. An inportant watch re #Greenland I think some folks are misunderstanding the magnitude of this moment. An #Inuit woman aligns herself with #peopleofcolour and reminds us that they too watch world dynamics of discrimination & #Racism youtube.com/watch?v=DMPe...
Just seen a news item about this. What a wonderful thing to do #Dementia #Disco Totally free, do support them if you can. 💚 www.dementiadisco.org
There is anger but also a sadness that is hard to process, about the rejection pain these measures are designed to inflict.
Ryan Coogler has a fascination with the year 1992. This movie ends in that year, and it’s also the year Black Panther begins. It’s also the year Malcolm X was released in theaters which Coogler acknowledges is one of his favorite movies. #HATM
"Before the sun went down, I think that was the best day of my life."
That line recontextualizes the entire film, followed by Stack's line - "For just a moment, we were free."
This is a story about real life, real history, real stories wrapped up in a fantastical vampire tale. 🫡 #HATM
Thank you Emma. My inner hippy needed your feel good article on being a #Vegan 💚 (I was a vegan in the 90s when it wasn’t fashionable. Now a pescatarian) www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Precisely.
Yup reasons for optimism are hard to find. But I’m finding them. 🙃
Rather than look at the consequences of wealth built on #slavery, we’ll just do it again, because we can’t admit it’s the only way #capitalism works.
