How sad.

Terrorizing spaces that focus on information and stories for and about Black people is white supremacy 101.

How do we protect these spaces and the people who run them?

We need to find the folks who'd support those spaces in their towns if they knew there was a problem, and I think we can find those folks here on Bluesky. If we all share these stories of harassment with location hashtags before the business have to close, I'm positive we can find those people.

I think we need to do a better job of providing community support and security.

I am worried for your country. I call this the "Trump affect". Electing such a horrible human being, gives permission to others that being horrible is not only okay, but fashionable. It's going to be a long time before the US can get that monster back in the closet.
