Anyone in a protest asking where the Black folks are should probably be quiet. As quiet as these same folks were when Black Lives Matter was a handy excuse for waves of state brutality.

White folks shit the bed last election cycle. This is their problem to clean up alone. Expecting Black women to change the sheets is turning back the clock, and they ain't your fucking maids anymore.

Make cleaning up a feces covered mattress your 2025 project.

I remember there was a bot on the birdsite called "Is It Rainy Season Yet?" and that recent display from Mother Nature means the answer is still yes.

Aquarium gravel hail followed by a monsoon-like outpouring.

Now the sun is peeking.

@angiebaby The most educated people per capita in the United States are Black women.

*mic drop*

We could have had a President with tasteful makeup.

We could have had a President with life in their eyes.

A reminder that the Black community had more money to invest in their own people before desegregation.

Bringing back segregation only means consumers will see a contrast between offerings.

MLB didn't desegregate because they had a change of heart.

MLB found a way to destroy the Negro Leagues without having to publicly declare they had an inferior product.

This is why desegregation to a bare minimum was an incremental okie-doke from April 15, 1947 to July 21, 1959.

Our history doesn't blink.

Churches have trafficked children for a very long time. The churches in the United States have an industry built around trafficking children.

Keep an eye on them all the time, or pretend to be surprised when you discover a relative has been trafficked by a faith-based organization.

One thing people don't like to talk about is how the fascist movement in the United States is primarily propelled by problematic immigrants who had no family among American WWII veterans on the right side of history.

Which is why they feel entitled to erase the contributions of minorities while tearing down our democracy. These are the sons and daughters of collaborators, bystanders and sycophants.

Sort them out. Most won't hesistate to question a minority with family who served with honor.

@paleofuture.bsky.social Or you could decide that AOC, who doesn't smell like embalming fluid, is more representative of New York.

Heads up St. Johns. They are serving a warrant to a fellow in one of the apartments along Lombard toward Pier Park. He isn't coming out. We know how this story usually ends.

Just a guess that a guy named "Brett" or "Brent" over a megaphone is white. No seeing a lot of battle rattle or drawn weapons. Only a dog. That's the other big clue.

Really hoping this doesn't get violent. We are friends with one of the other lawful tenants blessed with melanin and she has a darling baby boy.

If you like lo-fi, I wrote and recorded 5 full lengths on cassette multitrack back in the day. We always appreciate a little help with the household budget, so thanks in advance for your consideration.

When the Green is white, she can yell all night.

When the Green is Black, they won't have his back.

@jmcrookston Not one member of this parasitic family has ever served this nation.

Broke-ass home studio advice:

You know those bendy strips at the top to close a coffee bag?

They're like the burly cousins of twist ties on bread.

Tear them off empty bags and use them for cable management.

They come free with every pound of coffee. You already need coffee.

An unpleasant reminder that the last segregated home team to play in Brooklyn was the Dodgers on Thursday, October 3, 1946 at Ebbets Field.

Until the strictly white Team Israel was the segregated home team in Brooklyn for the WBC qualifying round on September 22, 2016 at MCU Park.

Desegrated baseball in Brooklyn lasted for 69 years, 11 months, and 19 days.

At least Rachel Robinson wasn't invited to witness the end of a legacy.

Don't want to be called out for ugly history?

Don't make ugly history.

Remember when a major network had a chance to seed small businesses in the greater New York area and make a reality show about it?

Instead they hired a local charlatan who didn't have much of a resume, but he took out a full page ad in the paper condemning five innocent Black men.

All he had to do was remember a two word script and wear a suit. Who could have guessed a major network was grooming a fascist leader?

When somebody doesn't earn anything, it's easier to convince them that they did.

@steter As if anyone would have given a fuck about the Super Bowl without two Black quarterbacks and a Blackity Black halftime show.

These plantation bosses need to go.

"Council Vice President Tiffany Koyama Lane noted the significance of Wednesday’s February 19 date– the 83rd anniversary of executive order 9066...

“My family was surveilled, stripped of their home, livelihood, and dignity,” Koyama Lane told the police chief and sergeant. “So my question is, how can we work together to make sure that history like this isn’t repeated?”

@steter That's the kind of ass kicking that we've been waiting to see from the Blazers.
