White folks need to stop asking what more a Black person can do and instead ask what more they can do themselves.

To paraphrase Kennedy 😉😊

yeah. I'm here for khive but not this stuff.

Today all US capitals 12-2 peaceful protest ☮️🕊️✌️

mollylyons.bsky.social•6 days ago

Seriously. It’s getting gross over here. The fauxgressives and MAGA have all found it and are making it miserable.

For multiple reasons this place is as much a shitstorm as twitterX. There's another alternative where the moderators do a great job of not tolerating hateful content and the majority of users there will get on anyone who Spouts off hate or misinformation.

bunnyshelton.bsky.social•6 days ago

don't know what to tell you. Trump, et al, are looking for a reason to lock up Black folks. What don't you all get? This is a white supremacy & white nationalism problem. Therefore, the solution lies with white folks. I can't be any more clear than that. Because if you haven't understood by now,

bunnyshelton.bsky.social•6 days ago

we will start disappearing from public life. I get that you believe we're magical, but we need you folks to step up big time. Now. Not later. If I see one more post about where's Kamala or about Hakeem, I am automatically blocking.

This lack of white leadership is disturbing. James Carville is

bunnyshelton.bsky.social•6 days ago

absolutely delusional thinking Trump will tire. Sen Fetterman is Vichy France. AOC & Jasmine Crockett are sticking their necks out but the GOP is talking about taking them out. When are good white folks going to take the leadership mantel? The only one I see is Mayor Pete & I worry about him

bunnyshelton.bsky.social•6 days ago

his family. Stop waiting on others. Be the change you want to see. I'll be over here trying not to die of poverty & homelessness. Not even joking.

sjoyner1965.bsky.social•6 days ago

Chris Murphy and Pritzker have been doing great. But yes, I completely agree that people have a double standard for Black politicians as they do white ones.

abbiseattle1.bsky.social•6 days ago

Raskin and Swalwell are both good. Your point is still well taken. White people seem most anxious for Black bodies to take the risk.

bunnyshelton.bsky.social•6 days ago

I don't know if people realize that Black & Brown people are being deported to countries they have no ties to. They will probably start sending Black & Brown citizens to Gitmo.

All women are in danger. I get it we aren’t always reliable Allies but we are screwed too. Ps I voted and campaigned for Kamala.

domitiaenobaria.bsky.social•6 days ago

TBF they’re horrible to chuck Schumer and Gerry Connolly too. The latter particularly pisses me off.

sonyasteele.bsky.social•6 days ago

They're no better than their republican family and friends that they refuse to confront. What they're afraid of dealing with at home, they expect Black folks to handle in the streets. They can GTFOHWTB.

lacewise.bsky.social•6 days ago

They’re also ignoring people actually acting as activists or giving them tangible advice, for the most part. So they’re not looking for leaders, they’re looking for people they can shout orders to.

szmartin.bsky.social•6 days ago

This. All day long. My white demographic doesn't seem to want to do the most simple, step by step work to help save this country. Like contacting their reps, more than once; like backing Dems in special elections; like voting in every local/state/federal election every time.

nycbubbles.bsky.social•6 days ago

hilogram15.bsky.social•6 days ago

Absolutely. They don’t want an actual solution, because the solution involves them giving up their belief in their own right to comfort, they just want someone to blame & shout down

bunnyshelton.bsky.social•6 days ago

I couldn't say it any better

hilogram15.bsky.social•6 days ago

I have a whole pinned post of resources to combat the “do something” narrative (partially so I can find it easily), but I’ve learned to pick my battles & identify who will and won’t be receptive to it

eedwardsellis.bsky.social•6 days ago

That's why I've been blocking right and left. Problematic-ass white people ruined Twitter for me and I have no place else to go now.

plantsmantx.bsky.social•6 days ago

Even Mark Elias, who I just blocked a few minutes ago.

mollylyons.bsky.social•6 days ago

Noooooo. Not Mark, too.

bunnyshelton.bsky.social•6 days ago

Same

bunnyshelton.bsky.social•6 days ago

What happened there? He led the 60+ cases against Trump after 2020.

plantsmantx.bsky.social•6 days ago

I unblocked him for a minute:

I saw that. I got his point. Everyone in Congress signed up for a leadership position. But there are different ways to do that. My Congresswoman had a virtual town hall last week. My Senators (MD) are doing their part. Part of the problem is the unwillingness of MSM to report on non-crazy comments

bunnyshelton.bsky.social•6 days ago

from Members of Congress.

plantsmantx.bsky.social•6 days ago

I didn't get his point. Or you can say I got it but didn't like it. The MSM may not be reporting on what elected officials are doing, but Elias can't be excused for not knowing, if that's actually the case. I suspect he thinks what those people are doing isn't enough, and he thinks they should...?

bunnyshelton.bsky.social•6 days ago

I completely understand your point. I'm allowing some grace for now bc he has been doing work for years now. He's no doubt grumpy & feeling a lot of stress & strain.

ailsalaing.bsky.social•6 days ago

I don't read that as him asking black people to do all the work, as opposed to white people? Sorry, maybe that's not what you meant.

plantsmantx.bsky.social•6 days ago

I didn't say he was doing that.

ailsalaing.bsky.social•6 days ago

Sorry, the OP Bunny started the convo with that.

plantsmantx.bsky.social•6 days ago

The thing is, he in effect describes the people he's pouring scorn upon as "sitting down", then tells them to sit down and let other people take over. Well, ok. Where are the people he wants to "take over"? What does he mean by "take over", and is it more suited for people who aren't electeds?

bunnyshelton.bsky.social•6 days ago

We all have to protect our peace. And our tolerance levels are different. I'm not at that point with him. John/Jim Hopkins? Fuck yeah.

bunnyshelton.bsky.social•6 days ago

Good points.

asm1thee.bsky.social•6 days ago

I point out the Kamala is still very much staying in the fight & currently advocating for the CA fire victims that trump is illegally threatening to withhold aid from and these people are like "tHAt'S nOt gOod enOuGH." 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

mollylyons.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yeah, yesterday I had a long battle with the “where is she?” “She abandoned us” whiners. Every time I pointed out she was fighting on the ground in her home state, “I haven’t heard that!”
Insufferable.

kerryreid.bsky.social•6 days ago

Hillary lost even though she won 3 million more votes and it was "go knit" and now the same people are whining about Harris not "doing enough." They should pick a side of their misogynist asses to speak from.

mollylyons.bsky.social•6 days ago

They’re still expecting Obama to be louder than other former presidents.

Wonder what VP Harris and President Obama have in common that folks expect them to do all the work.

kerryreid.bsky.social•6 days ago

Such a mystery!

mollylyons.bsky.social•6 days ago

asm1thee.bsky.social•6 days ago

She was literally addressing people in NY yesterday encouraging them to stay involved. I DO miss hearing from her more often but I'm sure she's planning something, so I'm more than willing to wait. I STILL believe she's 💯 the president we NEED.

mollylyons.bsky.social•6 days ago

Absofuckinglutely

I’ll support whatever SHE chooses but my-oh-my is she my forever candidate.

asm1thee.bsky.social•6 days ago

She's had my vote since 2018. I don't think anyone else in the Democratic field has experience bringing the country back from the brink.

mollylyons.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yep. Been following her since about 2010 and, indeed, she’s had my vote since 2018.

rebequewest.bsky.social•6 days ago

How is it insufferable to not know? I’ve been keeping an eye out for news of her across news & individuals because I value her leadership & specific knowledge, I want her involved & to continue to support her. Saw her Valentine pic w Doug. That’s it since a call-in a couple of weeks ago.

rebl10.bsky.social•6 days ago

go after Schumer

eliza7777777thstar.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yeah, unfortunately people are still people no matter where we are & white people are white peopling the crap out of social media.

I hope enough of us get it in time & am sending love to you & yours. 💕💕💕

yardyspice.bsky.social•6 days ago

That’s why I rarely leave Blacksky these days. Whenever I do it’s always them conveniently finding a Black person to slam just like their racist meemaws.

bunnyshelton.bsky.social•6 days ago

Maybe I need to stay over there.

dhoodson.bsky.social•6 days ago

It's annoying me too.

smokeywisecracker.bsky.social•6 days ago

Same shit different logo

bowiegrrl.bsky.social•6 days ago

I’m seeing the same trend here. White big follower resist accounts and leftists attacking Democrats telling them to do something or step down when it was the white Demographic who put us here!!!

markrap.bsky.social•6 days ago

They are still blaming Biden/Harris for people not voting going for Stien
