All social media sucks. I don't care if you like me. I don't care if you hate me. If you are against the people maximizing oppression in the world, then I'm on your side. He/Him

A 🧵 about why I delete some of my posts. 1/15

Good day on social media! I felt bad about everything including myself much faster today!

My husband, as a disabled person, is a Medicaid recipient. The number on the left is how much his upcoming surgery (which he needs to BREATHE NORMALLY) would cost w/o Medicaid. The number on the right is what it’s costing us. The end of Medicaid would kill disabled folks.

As a Black journalist who was pushed out of the profession because I refused to coddle my white colleagues & even confronted their racism head-on, yeah.

Religious right-wingers: What is God trying to teach me by this? God: Compassion. I'm trying to teach you compassion for all others. Religious right-wingers: No... No, that's not it.

Is it just me, or is no one else just me?

It was absolutely exhausting. Almost as exhausting as watching them now run back to the same white pundits and “experts” who missed what was blatantly and obviously happening re: fascist resurgence They are absolutely not equipped. Smh.

So… @chrislhayes.bsky.social , @maddow.msnbc.com , you guys gonna stand there while most of your non-white colleagues are fired or have their roles minimized at @msnbc.com ? You both have spent years telling people to stand up for fair treatment. Now let’s see you do it.

Expediency is the enemy of empathy
