1. What’s the meaning behind your blsky name?
Cindi Mayweather is the protagonist from Janelle Monae’s “suite” of albums. She’s a fugitive hunted for being an android who fell in love with a human.
Didn’t realize I misspelled Cindi until after I made the account.

Hot take....... Gentle parenting is just parenting. People hear the word gentle and assume discipline isn't taught (probably because they think beating your child= discipline)
Contrary to popular belief, I see a lot more Black parents adopting gentle parenting techniques than everyone else. And before you disagree, 1) IDC and 2) I live on Long Island so I’ve observed a fairly good sample size.

I'd argue fatherhood only exists when you're actually raising your children...
Fatherhood is real different when you actually raise your children though.

DHS has a whole citizen detainment system set up in Minnesota. They snatch citizens off the street (often with proof they are citizens), detain them for a few hours, steal their phones, then release them into the cold.
It ain’t about deporting citizens; it’s about terrorizing a whole population.

‘Abolish ICE’ has become an increasingly popular position and people are being shot in the streets over it why the fuck would you dillweeds roll over like this. Especially given that citizenship is much more friable than people think it is this is not as protective as dems want it to look.

People are asking a lot “how is this happening?” It’s happening the way abolitionists have warned you for decades it’s happening — you can’t dehumanize whole groups of people, pay for their brutalization & not expect for more bounty hunters to come.

As a researcher who studies the way rapists are given more status and power when their violence becomes public, I’m just so worried that we’re making a big gamble with unmasking ICE agents.
There is a presumption that it will lead to stigma and I just don’t think that’s a guarantee.

I don't want to celebrate how Ilhan Omar was ready to throw down. Tired of valorizing Black women as fighters, that dude should have been stopped and stomped out before he got close to her.

As Dorothy Roberts teaches us, the child welfare system and policing precede and set the tone for the family separations, the using of children as “bait,” and the surveillance of ICE.

we didn't finish denazification. we didn't finish desegregation. we didn't finish reconstruction. every opportunity for transformative change was deliberately sabotaged by american leaders who knew their wealth would not survive a world freed from eugenics, white supremacy, and war profiteering.

The National Guard is still patrolling DC, carrying handguns & long rifles, patrolling vibrant community spaces in packs to intimidate residents, especially Black residents, of the city.
Keep that in mind as you see the videos of them handing out pizza & coffee in MN.

White Americans are learning once again that the *only* thing that has ever made you safe from fascism is being willing to sacrifice non-white people. That is your contract with white supremacy. "Give us someone else so it won't be you."
