Let's do a #Blacksky #Artistvart to make Black artists on Bluesky and Blacksky more visible! I'll go first: I'm an editorial illustrator of 11+ years, and on here you can call me Whatevertron! DM for contact details if interested!

A digital illustration of a Black teacher passing a glowing book of education to a white teacher, who is dutifully saluting a darkened panel of judges, while both of them stand in front of watching and inspired school children.

A digital portrait of a Black man holding a prison tablet close, as it is the only source of light, as he longingly looks down at the photos of his loved ones that he can no longer see in person.

A digital illustration of a Black mother protecting her daughter from snakelike white hands with bloodied red fingernails that seek to separate them. They're inside of their wood-paneled home, and while the mother's appearance is tattered, her daughter's care is immaculate.

Vic been true to it not new to it since Save Money.

Honestly all the “conscious” Chicago rappers still true to it. Noname, Mick Jenkins, Vic, Chance, Saba and Pivot Gang.

Nah. White people who are just now starting to wake up to reality need to just take their licks. Yeah, the rest of us who have actually been affected by racism are mocking you for just now getting here.

Oh fucking well. Are your morals based on what’s right, or based on how good we make you feel?

Fun Fact: If you didn’t know D’Angelo was a self professed Nerd and video gamer which is part of the reason he never felt sex symbol painted the correct picture of who he was. He spent hours in the Rockstar office playing Red Dead Redemption

White people gotta realize just because they don't use the n-word doesn't mean they're not racist...

Some of the most violent tactics of empire were pre-tested on domestic soil too, on certain* populations.

Once again: this is also happening in DC. Still.

It feels like we’ve been forgotten, maybe because there aren’t huge confrontations to run photos of. But our neighbors are still being taken every day. Routine traffic stops are now done by 12+ feds alongside local police.

Please talk about us too.

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.
