@ireneista this is why i tell my sons, LOVE YOU, whenever we walk out the door. Trayvon Martin was killed for getting a soda and skittles in a hoodie… AND HE PAID FOR THOSE.
Trayvon’s murder shook my sons at a time they were old enough to go out to school and the deli by themselves.
we don’t know if either of us will be killed by a cop for looking the wrong way.
this is my nightmare as a Black Latina mother.
i wish more white folks understood OUR need for safety.

@ireneista @blogdiva @TransitBiker Yeah but tell us HOW to make it end. Please.

@blogdiva @ireneista it’s unjust, unfair, fucked, and needs to end.

@kmmfoo @ireneista @blogdiva @TransitBiker Some of this was already provided.
When you have places like "free fridges", don't just *invite* the non-white, non-straight, non-cis people to them, TAKE THEM ALONG WITH YOU. Escort them.
Praxis in mutal aid is sometimes inconvenient. Cope or don't chant the "mutual aid" mantra.

@kmmfoo @ireneista @blogdiva @TransitBiker In the broader world, start standing up to those people who say bigoted things, even (nay ESPECIALLY!) if it's "just a joke". The culture has to change and this can only happen when the people stuck in the old ways get hit repeatedly with the news that it's no longer OK to be a shitbag.
There was once a time where almost everybody thought drinking and driving was OK. Now civilized folk frown at it. This didn't happen by looking the other way.
