Never criticize an “ally” or you’re responsible for any loss is a corrosive and stultifying principle.

I have to chuckle at people deciding my insistence on a larger structural criticism as opposed to an exhortation for general empathy being framed as a liberal intervention preventing dialectic thought. Dude really just saw that I was Black and went with “black liberal though.”

Tell me something, "coalition." Was anybody not allowed in those universitas, museums, and libraries?

When Frank Wilderson talked about how the coalition is built on a foundation of antiblackness............yeah.......yeah.

Really would like to dig down on how “inclusivity” is being used as an idea to discipline critique.

This is why the U.S. is in the state it's in And why I'm fine with it crumbling

NEW YORK (AP) — Roberta Flack, Grammy-winning singer known for 'Killing Me Softly With His Song' and other intimate hits, dies at 88.

This is the unstated part to the pushback. Too many people believe Black people don’t have the right to insist on anything.

Tech industry folks never met a nigga like me and it shows in every conversation.

This is the fucking question.

This thread is important.

I’m @ $536/$1K as of this repost, and I’m thankful for every cent. That said, it’s Monday now and I’m stressed. I will update if/when I get any booking invoices paid. Please keep spreading the word and help if you can! ❤️

This! Yes, terms can change meaning over time but that's not what happened with "woke." it was twisted to taunt and disrespect us and they knew it would work because most of y'all are always happy to join the fun dumping on Black people.

Sorry I have no patience today for white people telling me I don't know what I'm talking about and I will be acting accordingly.

Important to note that the slurification and watering fown of "woke" was kicked off by white leftists, especially dirtbag anti-identity politics white leftists. The right wing followed their lead.

The white folks in the replies trying to insist OP is wrong is exactly why y’all should stop talking about woke. You don’t know what it means. And when someone Black tries to tell you what it means, he’s accused of mansplaining a lifelong activist. Just absolute shit.

I understand and appreciate the sentiment I do but thats not what it means either. The idea of being aware of systemic racism being made a byword by the right only to be sanitized as general good heartedness demonstrates how concepts are drained of vigor. variety.com/2025/film/ne...

These are far-right parties, especially in France, that have engaged in blatant Holocaust revisionism and even denial. But for the Israeli government, the sanctity of the memory of the six million dead is a price to be paid for more support for hardline anti-Palestinian policies.

I genuinely think most people consider addiction a moral failure that means you deserve everything that happens to you. It’s probably the most widely generally agreed on position in society regardless of politics, is rarely challenged, and it sickens me.

NASA has released a new image of Uranus taken by the Webb Space Telescope. The photo taken this time can clearly see 11 of the 13 outer rings of Uranus. In the past, only the Voyager 2 probe and the Keck Observatory have successfully captured it, and it has never been as clear as the Webb telescope.

And in other news, the Namibian desert appears to contain a great quantity of sand.

Feeling stuck... this isn't moving at all... Can someone make this move? Urgent, safety is an issue. Pls. #helpsky #mutualaid #Disability #TBNC #Communitycare💸💞 #signalboost #maboost #BIPOCMA #BlackMA #Blacksky please don't ignore me? 🥺

I made this five years ago

As a photojournalist who covers antifascist actions and activism, I support this message. Don't want to get your camera smashed? Don't put people at risk with your work. All of my devices are still intact because I respect black bloc and know my job isn't to be a snitch.

A decent chunk of the US economy is just unfairly incarcerating Black people and then charging them. Usually, Black folk get caught up during traffic stops. This is why we get pulled over so much more often than white people.🤯 During covid, so many people stopped driving, the gravy train stopped.
