Almost like there’s a REASON authoritarian personalities regardless of POLITICAL affiliation Target Black people in all levels of governance … And that racial taxonomy while INVENTED indicates a historical level of institutional knowledge that fascists HISTORICALLY constantly want erased ?!?

Thanks to the caterwauling Nobody can claim that Black people were ” moved “good outreach” It was mostly local decisions based on platform and while everyone was being an ass .. Republicans worked over time making sure that the most progressive voting base has trouble voting …

This right here .. as well as poorly defining “older” and what context those people are working from … Because that changes DRASTICALLY regionally

Younger Black folk are more radical than any voting block fr. The issue I keep seeing is people not looking at conservative Black folk as a core part of the older Black voting base and assuming they represent the Black political spectrum. Especially when WHITE conservatives vote for republicans

Are Black people perfect or uniform No. I’m related to them . I can’t get my own FAMILY to agree on shit AMD WE HAD CONTRACTS but as a voting block and HISTORICAL DEMOGRAPHIC do Black people act CIVICALLY towards a base common good Since LONGER THAN THE US HAS EXISTED YES WHY IS THAT ?!?

Because the actual issue is ground game works but the racists that folks run to to get on mile let a lot of bullshit slide AND Black people are saving folks asses by being purposely progressive AS THEY HISTORICALLY ARE but treated terribly

It’s not a “nonsense culture war topic” The focus on it because they get joy from debating the humanity of others

Elle Duncan kept it real on Bomani’s podcast about what the real crises for women in sports are but instead people want to focus on transgender talking points because it’s a nonsense culture war topic

What were BOTH - racist progressives AND Classist Dems saying?!? Both sets

Abdul El-Sayed is projected to win Michigan’s Democratic primary for a U.S. Senate seat. The primary bucked simple narratives about Black voters and set the stage for a high-stakes general election. https://bit.ly/3RtGwI4

*job attributes in great for , great for …..” “Fundraising” God I am a dear hearted nerd with a big rack My friends are the geeks , the doogooders, the regular folks and the freaks I LOVE THEM DOWN but the tech boys are mad at me .. or wanna 🤬me Usually both

I want to run a foundation/ strategize a media research org without having to fundraise I don’t think non profits will save us… I CAN do a lot better than the clowns I watched you listen to AN I HAVE PROOF But … while I am absolutely winsome MY FRIENDS ARE BROKE DOGOODERS

….. someone said ten scholarly articles / chapters could get people tenure I think I have those but I don’t have a post bacc I DO EVERYTHING SO DAMN BACKWARDS

A baby called me “pretty . Scary, nice” and was adorably confused by their own conclusion .

Yall are passing around photos of people in distress with nary a move to help Just like lynching postcards but sure it's just the republicans

And I really at this point don't give a damn, if your fave whatever held a teach in and a rally Or loved a book about Haitians as a class struggle If they can't talk to or about Haitians as human beings And you happily erase the DECADES of previous organizing so you fee fees don't get bruised

So in the interest of EXPEDIENCE , EFFICENCY and some day EFFICACY could we can the new babe in the woods analysis coming from people that make us all feel good by pretending it's a new development And not a concerted HISTORICAL use of Haitians as macabre parlor entertainment

And yes it is important to me and yes triggering because One of the first gross deportations that happened of an activist HAPPENED IN FAR ROCKAWAY AND WAS WITNESSED BY MY MOTHER while everyone is claiming this is "new"

I wonder how Trump learned people wouldn’t organize or care about a leftist with pro oppressed people views being snatched and deported back to a war zone AND that Haitians were great targets for abuse because no one listens haitiantimes.com/2020/01/21/i...

And maybe mayhap we could think about this with any SEMBLANCE of long term interdisciplinary thinking to recognize it as a LONG TERM propaganda and morale boost effort That when Trump feels down HE SPECIFICALLY TARGETS HAITIANS DEPENDING ON PUR CONDESCENSION AND APATHY

The more they claim to change the more they’ve stayed the same www.sacurrent.com/news/coin-ce...

I mean it's not like this was a factor in the run up to the election itself as a rallying cry for a flagging campaign ...

The Ohio thing is mentally shredding Haitians and it's getting less attention than the dancing videos oh and the editor of the Haitian times is getting BOMB threats haitiantimes.com/2024/09/18/m...

And it’s real fucking wild that all the non Black “Allie’s” can find content for themselves and their newsletters But only by “citing( stealing ) from the Haitian Times And how many of these stories have PICTURES of Haitian degradation but no quotes haitiantimes.com

Black immigrants have ALWAYS been over represented in deportation and impact, always been targeted and I have the Twitter memories of people who 1) mocked me for that 2) factually tried to appropriate that out from under me for cool points YET SOMEHOW the only generated support is “content”

Haitian TPS has been a discussion since I was on the boards of immigrant orgs before everyone decided they were “asking for too much” ( Dem) , “identity politics” ( left) or switching to lobbying ( philanthropy)

TargetingHaitians is a centuries old American playbook And yes that includes folks who refuse to have a memory longer than ten minutes outside of writing . Because when people ask how are you going to make protecting Black people a part of all platforms We get lectures and avoidance

People reporting on the Springfield Ohio racist pogrom without acknowledging long standing anti Blackness at all are pissing me off Everybody wants the easy “How could Trump “ nobody is doing the actual “So how has our refusal to admit racism outside of yelling at the right let this happen”

Okay I’ll be back I. A couple days !

“If people get support in a systemic way you can’t hold it over them for social status” THAT IS THE ENTIRE GOD DAMN POINT

Some of the BEST community / editorial/ comms people were on this site and offered this advice ( and yeah I include me ) FOR FREE 99 but it wasn’t taken …. And now it matters .. because pundits are pissy

The other thing is all platforms are having this issue but IT IS BECAUSE TEH KNOWLEDGE ECOSYSTEM IS COLLAPSING we don’t have enough diverse media to have the engagement and Blue sky and Threads helped destroy that

Another reason I don’t rate the “we want sports” is .. this place does decent work for AEW/ NBA They say “sports” and mean real specific folks

🅲🅷🆄🅲🅺🅵🅰🆃🅷🅴🆁^2@chuck2father.blacksky.app · 2d ago

Anyone saying this place don’t jump during sports is probably an incel. The entire SL was going off during those Bama games last year. Folks were stressssssed and everyone else was laughing. Can’t wait to do it again this year.

Bingo. What most abusers want ( most do tech should be filtered through that lens ) Is control . Pundits hate the control being had by anyone but them . Even honoring that framing pisses me off Because you can’t build from entitlement

Bluesky's nuclear block supports a culture of consent. Each user can completely prevent another user from having any access to them on this site. Right wing harassers on X hate consent. They hate being told "no." They hate not being able to force their posts onto others and target others.

This is why I’m genuinely not all that worried about this place becoming Twitter. The Nazis have tried so many times to infiltrate this site. But they just get blocked and that’s boring for them so they leave.

Part of why I love civ tech is we can make being good EASY. you mean I can reduce trying to schedule soup kitchen time / out reach etc if we make a functional government that helps folks thrive ?!? What the fuck you mean “How would you feel” BRUH I WILL RUN THE JIRA BOARD Is THERE A GITHUB
