SB 5134 would wrest power back from cop unions, banning collective bargaining agreements that forbid investigation of misconduct. The bill would also forbid taking past performance into account when deciding whether to fire a cop who's been found guilty of excessive force or misconduct.

Not sure if this is still up but if it is go comment!

If there is anything to take away from this, it's that...

a) Anti-blackness is often couched in the language of the oppressed, this is intentionally formulated to lower your defenses so they can push a false narrative through. be aware of that kind of manipulation.

b) Perpetrators will never address the grievances, their knee jerk reaction will often-take the shape of making the person bringing the grievances forward look like the aggressor while making themselves look like the victim. This is a big tell, and as an abuse survivor, I can tell you that examples of this are extremely and agonizingly visible to me. If you can detect this, you're already resistant to this kind of toxicity.

c) Being a person of colour does not immunize you from making anti-black actions. If you ever felt a knee-jerk response building up inside you when you are called out by a black person, and/or when called out for anti-blackness, you need to fight it, and start listening.

Black people already face an undue amount of scrutiny everywhere they go as it is, there is no need to add to that hardship by denying them their grievances when we hurt them.

d) If you want to know how to fight it, pay attention. Pay attention to the things people around you say, and pay attention to the effect it has on black and indigenous people outside of your friend circles. You may end up realizing a few unpleasant truths about the way you conduct yourselves.

Treat this not as a trial, but a learning experience. Part of decolonizing your mind is very much about subverting the idea of punishment as justice, and embracing a more forward-thinking kind of justice, one that encourages people to do better.

e) Don't let the focus of the discourse be taken away from the voices of black and indigenous people, and their experiences. Yes, non-black POC and white-passing POC exist, I am an example of an NBPOC, (Though I am not white-passing) and we do have our struggles too. However, we ABSOLUTELY SHOULD NOT make it a competition between our struggles and that of a black or indigenous person, you will only create more harm for the more marginalized group.

We can absolutely talk about our own struggles, no question about that, but make sure to move on after acknowledgement when talking about black and indigenous issue, and avoid making it about us, okay?

I think we all could stand to learn from the past couple of days. Please, if you follow me, keep me honest. The worst thing you can do to me is enable me when I slip into toxic habits.

Did a chud check on my followers list. Happy to report that I only had to block a couple of suspicious accounts, and old former accounts of users who have since migrated to the problematic instances and have since gone radioactive.

there will always be hateful people somewhere out there. its not my job to untangle their bullshit, but if i can make them feel like its not worth it to speak up, thats good enough. if they dont feel bold, they can't mobilize and become a threat.

I'm going to recommend everyone do a chud check in their followers. I just found the same one in mine 4 times on different instances because I hadn't even been thinking about that until now.

Also, I supported the previously mentioned podcast at a Sponsor level, meaning a short audio ad, but I’m more interested just in supporting them than I am in advertising MarronDolls.

So I’d like to open it up: I just have the one slot, but if any of you are Black or Indigenous authors or business owners interested in advertising on a QTBIPOC storytelling podcast, drop me a line! I don’t know the terms in detail at this time, but I can definitely ask re: any questions.

BHM, fedi boycot 1/2 

I'm boycotting the fedi this month for #BHM.

W.E did a defed for reasons of antiblackness, & the debate became about being racist towards primarily non black poc, meaning the fedi again shows it doesn't care abt antiblackness; the convo centered ppl NOT Black. That's a problem.

On top of the fact that white ppl were doing what they could to erase Blk voices or being demeaning towards them whilst misusing AAVE, bc it didnt serve their narrative. And they weren't checked 🙃

abuse 

doesn't really make sense to mock your peers

mockery is for punching up at powerful forces you can't otherwise touch. self defense. community defense.

punching down or sideways it's just abuse. it kills dialogue. fuels conflict. doesn't solve anything. there's more effective ways to handle interpersonal shit

this part is related to pretty much every other problem we handle, but whenever you catch yourself saying, "Well NO ONE said/ asked for/ did.. this, that, the other"

what you're saying is, "My life experience is universal across all classes, cultures, races, and mental and physical abilities" and you know thats not true.

your life experience is not universal.

Your Life Experience Is Not Universal.

Tip for non-Black people about anti-blackness on fedi 

Whenever you see a post by a Black person that you fave or boost, go ahead and look at the replies

You're bound to see some people being anti-black there, especially if the post was about racism

Then you can report (or ban) these people and you'll also start to see just how rampant anti-blackness is here, as people have been saying all along

Tip for non-Black people about anti-blackness on fedi 

Also ffs check that none of them are finding these posts *because of you*

Anti-Black harassers are finding all of these posts somehow and no it's not all from the federated tl

Chances are you're connected to some of them somehow and your boosts are helping these anti-Black people find more folks to harass

You have a responsibility to look at who follows you and who their connections are

the best thing you can ever do for yourself is humble your ego, shut your mouth, and learn to listen with the intent of understanding NOT with the intent of replying to marginalized voices.

every goddamn movement for justice we have today was built with the sweat and tears of disabled, queer, usually Black, Brown, and Indigenous femmes. the bare minimum you can do is acknowledge that they exist and they know better about their situation than you do.
