Although I never was one that wanted to fit into whiteness, she makes some great points about being almost programmed to feel othered from the beginning.

The only person who ever told me I was too Black to be white and too white to be Black was my mother. And it stuck with me thru school

A grocery store calling the cops to keep people from pulling food out of a dumpster is permanently etched in my brain as people with money and power deciding if they can't profit, they would rather see food rot and people starve.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people?

Does anyone work anymore?"

This plainclothes unit was infamous for employing aggressive tactics aimed at crime prevention. Its methods often involved confrontations that escalated into deadly encounters. From its formation in 1971 to 1974, STRESS officers were linked to the deaths of 17 Black people,(cont)

The image features a cartoon version of Spider-Man in his classic red and blue costume. He is peeking around a corner, with his hand raised to the side of his mouth as if he's whispering or conveying a secret. The background appears to be a wooden or paneled wall.

At the top of the image, there is text in bold white capital letters outlined in black that reads: "JUST A FRIENDLY REMINDER."

At the bottom, more text in the same style reads: "YOU. ARE. NOT. VOTING. YOUR. WAY. OUT. OF. THIS.”
