This is what makes me so livid. Even through all of this condemnation, knowing how bloody the response would have been if these were BLM or antifa protests, knowing how bloody the response has been FOR LESS, makes me feel like I will never be treated equally in this country

It’s exhausting to constantly be reminded that I do not have the same rights, freedoms or benefit of the doubt. 😩

The peaceful protests in the summer were met with armed military police, tear gas, and rubber bullets.
Today’s insurrection in the Capitol shows a clear example of the two very different justice systems our country upholds.

I’m going to be very blunt.
So these WHITE folk can QUITE LITERALLY STORM THE CAPITOL and not get a lick of tear gas or a knee on their necks.
But BLACK FOLK merely exist & we get shot on sight, no questions asked.
Fuck this place.
Fuck everything about it.

Let this sink in....during a peaceful BLACK LIVES MATTER protest they called in heavy reinforcement.....but today during a VIOLENT NON POC PROTEST, WHERE IS THE REINFORCEMENT????
Now's a great time for this reminder: if you voted for Trump, you have to own the part you played in making today happen.
We are not friends. I want nothing to do with you. Unfollow me. Don't speak to me. Think about why you hate America.

this person is definitely scamming, these are their likes after two seconds of scrolling/a reply they left from probably before they revamped their account. they also hid this reply linking the real navajo nation relief fund: https://www.nndoh.org/donate.html , https://gofund.me/98d6ad2a https://twitter.com/navajonation1/status/1345936196342587392

The Navajo Nation is trying to raise $100,000 by Jan.10th and we only raised $857. We are looking for a miracle. The Navajo is raising this money so that they can rebuild their community after a terrible year. Your donation is going to help save lives. http://gf.me/u/zdy6zw

And to the people who have put themselves first all through this year, who have ignored the suffering all around them, who thump their chest proudly about being bigoted, anti-thought assholes, I see you.
And I'll be keeping you at a polite distance from now on.
So thanks to everyone who did their part to support one another through last year, who donated and helped, who did the bare minimum to prevent the spread of COVID by wearing masks, who cared more about the safety of others than their "right" to be assholes.

“We don’t fly Biden flags because we don’t want our houses burned down. We don’t put Biden bumper stickers on our cars because we want to avoid becoming targets for road rage. We don’t trust you. We’ve decided to minimize our interactions with people who cannot be reasoned with.”
It's hard to say how much seeing that has affected me. I'm moving forward in 2021 hopeful, more grateful and mindful of the people in my community who look out for each other.
But I'm also a lot more wary, a lot less willing to be open about things. These are not safe times.
And even though we've managed to pull back from the precipice for now, we're going to have to sit with the mess we've made of this country (and the world) for decades to come.
People are much more hostile and selfish than I believed they were.
Millions have said through their votes that not only were the last 4 years of gross incompetence and corruption acceptable, but they wanted MORE of it. One major political party has indulged lies and conspiracy theories and have abdicated their responsibility to govern.
But what's happened over the last few years has changed me deeply. How could it not? I've seen people I thought I knew excuse a descent into fascism, if not outright gleefully call for it.
I'll never take it for granted that we won't repeat those atrocities again. We have.
Happy New Year, everyone! I spent so much of 2020 frozen, unable to speak up about what was happening in the world for fear of losing what tenuous relationships I had with people.
I didn't want this feed to become all combative, aggressive rhetoric. There was too much of that.
