1. You wanna know what's interesting about Pepsi making this decision? Pepsi literally made its fortune off the backs of Black people. (short 🧵)

Both Pepsi & Coke were created in the late 19th century. But while Coca-Cola was going on to become America's drink, Pepsi was bankrupt in the 1920s.

I'm glad you aren't personally worried about being fired.

I saw this earlier tonight & donated, so I'm trying to spread it around to hopefully increase its reach...

When I read it, I was reminded of Dexter Wade's death in Jackson, MS. He was killed by a police officer, positively identified, and buried even though his mother had reported him missing.

When I tell you my patience is being tested.... I'm just too stubborn to allow others to control my emotions.

People ask us how we're doing, and I know they mean well. All that pops up in my head is wondering if they voted for this shit. I'm lucky that I don't have to worry about being fired

Not to say that all kids are bad, but the issues with racism, drugs, gang violence, etc.. in adults stem from learned behaviors or experiences as a child.

Brosephus @brosephus.bsky.social · 12h

You're probably right on the money. Our society as a whole is doing an awful job of raising kids.

Not at all. They haven't said shit while Trump and Netanyahu played them like a fiddle. They used social media to feed their confirmation bias and sink Harris to ensure their grift would work, and it worked perfectly.

I'm reading this knowing I have to go to work tomorrow, not knowing when I'm going to get paid. At the same time, other federal workers are being fired or threatened to be fired if they don't show up for work while knowing they're not getting paid.

It's infuriating.

That means shirts w/ no stupid sayings on them, latyered clothing you can remove or turn to create a different look. Serious.
Don't bring a cell phone. Bring water, a scarf or handkerchief AND the best mask you can afford. Motherfuckers using pepper balls. Wear safety glasses. Think & plan damnit!

Oh, BTW, LGBTQ+ folks? You go to that protest, don't fuckin be stupid & wear bright yellow.
That would just make you easy to recognize if shit goes bad & I swear to you, you do NOT want to know wtf it's like to be beat by the cops. Do NOT do that! Be safe & smart.

I don't see it as blasphemy. I see it as a reminder about what's said in the Bible about those who pray loudly on the corner and make a spectacle of things as opposed to praying in private. Matthew 6:5-6 to be specific.

They didn't attempt to hide the fact they were working together. They did all they could to undercut Biden and Harris, and Americans got played like fools.

This is the AmeriKKKa that’s always been and too many people claim not to recognize.

Plenty of white people will celebrate someone pissing on the memorial of an ASSASSINATED non-violent leader.

But we’re not a racist country.

A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility.

This is beyond cruel.

He is currently being held at an Office for Refugee Resettlement facility.

I distinctly voted to not be in this fucked up situation and warned others to do the same. I've also advised folks to focus on harm reduction because a one day protest will accomplish as much as a one dog team competing in the Iditarod.

I'll be at work on Saturday. While at work, I'll be crunching numbers to figure out what we'll be able to spend on groceries to ensure that we still have gas money to get the kids to school and for me to get to work until the government quits their bullshit and my paychecks will get restarted.
