White people don't know how Black people jam as far as revolution & resisting at all. The Haitian revolution was a huge party with extensive black magic & armed warfare. Black southerners will polish the rifle they keep in case the Klan shows up & put it back in the closet. We're built different.

The silly whites ask, why do the Black folk do joyful things like produce a zine on a hip hop song as this nation they hold dear crumbles. They know nothing of the power of our cultural production & proof of life against an entire society hellbent on keeping us under its boot. @jl3001.bsky.social

Elon is one of our world’s best examples of how billionaire megawealth functions to maintain those people as wealthy. Off family riches plundered from South Africa, he found ways to fraudulently purvey himself as a genius to become a tycoon, & remains massively wealthy now matter how hard he fails.

I’m on my daily walk right now. It’s one of the most important parts of my day. I was able to get a few more bits of food in me than usual at this point today but still need to get my solid meal. I’m in a chill mental place though feeling I turned a big corner from a mental rough patch.

Exactly. Actual minorities in this country don’t get to laugh off bigoted jokes about us because they actually hurt, because we’re actually marginalized. Spicy whites do get to laugh them off because they are white in our society. And I won’t entertain them trying to shove off being white.

i found out one of my "friends" was racist when he got pissed at me for being mad about racism i experienced since he just laughs off polish jokes and that's obviously the same thing so i was being a "crybaby" for being upset at being harassed on the street for being asian 🙄

His limp noodle style of pretending he’s not the world’s most powerful man with the capacity to do whatever he wants is getting a bit much at this point. You wanna wake up & do anything about republicans, Joe? No? Ok enjoy your nap.

The Biden body count is already close to 800K between COVID and Gaza alone. Of course he's sacrificing lives. His entire career is built on a mountain of black and brown corpses. He wrote the Crime Bill, Bankruptcy Bill, and drafted the Patriot Act. Voted for DHS/ICE and the Iraq War, too.

Ten years ago on this day, Palestinian teen Mohammed Abu Khdeir was kidnapped by three settler terrorists on a street in Shu’fat camp. After abducting 16-year-old Abu Khdeir, settlers moved the boy to a nearby forest, where they beat him severely with a crowbar, poured gasoline over his body, 1/2

When I die a pauper in some time, my belongings will all either be trashed or donated. It will be a simple afternoon for a group of my surviving family members. That’s how broke people die, we don’t need wills.

Ok bet. I’m getting on the phone with a lawyer right now. Gotta hit google to find one close to me quick. Causing catastrophic drama in my family from the afterlife over the distribution of my meager pitiful belongings sounds like my type of party.

Nonono have a will bc the worst ppl will swoop in before everyone else and your true loved ones will lose everything of you, sometimes before they ever knew you died. Even just vaguely leaving your stuff to someone you trust will distribute it is better than nothing. Happened to my fam SIX times

My family can go through my meager belongings after I die and keep what they want. I see no need to get lawyers involved. Plus, no money for lawyers. No money period.

There's no point for me to have a will. That advice sounds so bougie to me. This is not the time for you to instruct me on why it's imperative for me to have a will. I literally have few belongings, most expensive thing I own is a years old computer, I have no house, no car, a negative net worth.

Yeah, not gonna say people whose mental illness doesn't allow them functionality under capitalism have a walk in the park, but it's kinda the pits being highly insane & being functional, because you basically have to keep this façade of being sane that you're desperately paddling under like a duck.

That's great. It's because I'm a southern Black person & a Black radical. We have the most accurate analysis of America's fascism through bearing the brunt of it, so we developed ways of moving through threat realistically because deep threat is normalized for us & don't burden ourselves with fear.
