This is absolutely on us, white people. It’s up to us to confront and denounce racism & antisemitism, and stand up for the kind of country we want to live in, where all are welcome and equal.

As for me, I cosign this entire thread ❤️👊🏻

White people need to talk to other white people. It is entirely up to the whites to move the needle on their end.

Let me be clear: racism and antisemitism are rampant on *both* sides of the aisle.

I went to one indivisible march and was turned off by the leadership, because they had no interest in or answer for the R. I honestly don’t know what to think about it, other than agreeing with the visual of gigantic demonstrations.

This was a lot of WORK. She took time away from her baby to try & educate white people AGAIN.
Don't come on here telling her what a good white person you are. Nobody gives a fuck, do the WORK.
You CAN thank her by contributing to her baby's college education
Generously!

My fellow white folks, I beg you to read every wrote she wrote. If you aren't already on an anti-racist path, it's time you start. It is KEY to not only saving democracy but saving humanity.

Yes! And if you object to this sermon of a thread:

30-40 years ago, the entire nation was on Black communities' necks about "crime rates" and "teen motherhood." Yesterday's "welfare queen" is today's "DEI hire."

Having zero sense of collective responsibility is a luxury in these United States.

A lot of them are letting themselves believe that they don’t really need to vote, that everything‘s fine, and all they have to do is be positive and keep spreading that love & light. The young ones have been listening to Bernie, think sexism has gone the way of racism. Internalized misogyny.

Trump's mechanism to pay the troops during the shutdown is by far the most illegal budgetary action he's taken as POTUS, potentially setting the stage to break everything.

It's also needless because Congress would easily pass a troop pay bill if Johnson were willing to gavel in.

Long thread.

For nearly 60 years, the Voting Rights Act has been our nation’s most powerful tool to ensure everyone, especially communities of color, has an equal say in shaping the decisions that affect their lives – from the cost of groceries to access to health care.

Yep it’s not the job of one person with a title either. It is the job of citizens to own their power and use it wisely for the best for all people

The self entitlement these white gentiles have is mind blowing

It’s not a job for that Black lady y’all denied.

It’s not a job for that Black man you think owes you something just because you voted for him twice.

It’s up to the whites.

Sooooooo many people got upset because they couldn’t be the center of attention and decided they wanted to grab power by putting Black Folks (especially Black Women) in their places.

l hope y’all can figure out a way to out-organize what gutting voting rights would do.

super left have spent the last 10 years telling people that “identity politics“ are bad and race shouldn’t be a factor.

Well…l hope we can ALL AGREE this is who the country will have to rely on when voting rights are gutted and it’s not looking pretty 🤷🏾‍♀️

This was always the plan.

That’s why Black Folks begged people to pay attention to voting rights.

Folks ignored us and now the demographic that ALWAYS stands in the gap and puts up huge numbers for progressive legislation to get passed is going to have our vote diluted.

This country is on track to make sure Black people can never vote or be represented again. It’s happening.

I know there’s a lot going on. But without Voting Rights… this country ENDS.

Not snark

I don’t doubt that but what you just did is part of the problem and I need folks to understand this. It’s important.

Not ALL WOMEN put up 90%+ numbers in every election for decades for 1 party.

SCOTUS isn’t going after ALL WOMEN. They’re specifically going after BLACK WOMEN’S VOTES.
