Several things can be true at once. Biden, Harris, Trump are/were not good for Palestines. Ya'll keep trying to make it about them and it's not about them because it has happened under other presidents and admins. THIS IS WHAT THE U.S. DOES. It is an imperial machine & genocide its signature move. - ThreadSky

For all the shit lining Harris's pockets, she would've been better than Trump, that's for sure. For all the dolts who did not vote, voted third party, or voted red are all equally a problem and have no place to bitch about these 4 years! Even the non-voting pro-palastine people, good statements tho.

This would be happening no matter who won, the only difference would be that Biden and Harris were smart, they are politically trained and have enough common sense to know what they could or couldn't say out loud. Trump is a man with an asshole where his brain should be. He just spews shit.

And look....I know folks get up in arms when we bring up voting because a lot of people are invested in the idea of an election, of casting a vote to be THE solution, when it is a tactic. Sometimes, it works in our favor and sometimes it doesn't, which is why you have to have backup plans & tactics.

You don't put all your eggs in the basket and it's not lost on me how easily and quickly a lot of marginalized communities were able to shift plans and start mobilizing and organizing and who's still focused on the election and trying to vilify the people most in harm's way instead of being useful.

And I get this is new for a lot of folks who had the privilege of really being able to not feel or even acknowledge the real world impact of their politics until now and it's scary. You should be scared and angry, but more than anything useful. Because we are all we got and we need each other.

You’re saying what needs to be said. I do believe that more people will be subject to violence, exclusion and abuse under Trump than Harris (harm reduction) but racial capitalism is what is is.

johnniejae.bsky.social•22 days ago

It's never been more or less under any admin, just who can better justify it, distract or even charm folks to successfully downplay or invisible the violence, exclusion and abuse. It only seems more under folks like Trump because their lack of filter, charm and basic decency is jarring.

And there's not going to be an easy solution or one right way. It is going to require a multitude of tactics and us learning to communicate, strategize and organize across communities to help mitigate the danger and harm, to protect the most vulnerable among us.

You and @prisonculture really resonate. I’ve grown so much by reading her posts and books, seeing what she’s actually DONE. Providing really valuable historically grounded mentorship to those in the struggle.

And it is going to take a lot of hard conversations....I posted this thread earlier this week and Cis-Hetero White folks, like we need you to step up, you got to get off the bench now and really get in this fight and not just as an ally.

Exactly and the comments on that post are just horrifying, xenophobic and islamaphobic. I hate these people so much. Like, the country is on fire on fire, Gaza is going to be ethnically cleansed but the important thing you are focusing on is doing "Hilary was right!" 2.0.

At the very least they need to come live in February 2025 with the rest of us. The election was three months ago and they can't even recognize that theor chosen party did absolutely nothing to prepare for 2025, screwing all of us over more in the meantime.

We're all we have....
