Our (white folks) place is to listen and amplify black voices right now and I'm increasingly disappointed by the entourage of white net-anarchists trying to police people.

White allies, queer or not, stop fucking screaming at people being sincere and asking questions about handling their privilege correctly, thanks

Heavy thoughts about cop tactics, violence, abuse, long 

Is it weird that when I hear stories of cops chasing down injured, unarmed or fleeing protestors and beating them I just kind of go "That's the terrible behavior I expect from those pigs" but now that more and more stories are flooding in about them deliberately targeting medics and support areas with overbearing force, I'm an entirely new breed of shocked and disgusted?

I'm talking about stories of a squad rushing an alleyway some street meds set up with supplies and water and deliberately and methodically smashing everything they had. I'm talking about cops aiming at the red cross armbands and medic vests leading people away from a tear gas deployment.

It's not a better or worse breed of disgust. You can't really quantify disgust that way. It's different. It comes from a different POV, it physically manifests with a different, gross flavor. I wasn't aware disgust could have flavors.

Some of these pricks are living out their fantasy of being a strategist in a war. That's a pretty chilling thought to really mull over.

@fakemaxkeeble@snouts.online it is also our responsibility to use our privilege to talk to our white neighbors and family and explain to them why all this is necessary, even if we are not directly on the ground

Yes this is about that video of some Non-Black people coming at a Black woman with their "comrade" talk when she told them to stop spray painting BLM. She even had the kindness to explain to them how it would cause further retaliation against Black people, not their lefttube asses. Black people have an extraordinary history of organizing in this country. Respect that or get the fuck out of the march

Mainstream and local media have largely failed America these past few days. Props to the journalists and reporters on the ground who are trying not to, though.

Just to be clear here, by designating #antifa as a terrorist organisation Trump just officially declared the US as a fascist state.

What you are witnessing right now in the US, are the first days of a openly fascist state.

Gen Z has never really known an America where the working class wasn't begging for scraps. They won't quietly forget this.

An entire generation is simultaneously getting exposed to a recession and the reality of police in America within a few months.

Let's be sure of another thing Dr. King said:

"Social justice and progress are the absolute guarantors of riot prevention."

Anyone decrying the fire of a riot but doesn't give a damn about the quenching waters of justice is merely ignoring the suffering of their neighbours.

@Duende@snouts.online you can also definitely fuck a skeleton in all three cases

re: America, shit hitting the fan 

@Elizafox apparently this was A white house not The White House please ignore my ignorance
