Hey y'all, what's your mix?

Thanks to all who in this .

Do also feel free to boost, and/or discuss (of course!)

has its value.

However, I'd be remiss not to share a concern - it has, to a disturbing degree, been hijacked by .

There is more to Black History than simply recognizing Black people who contributed to the capitalist machine. Our value as human beings is not only about what we "do" that "creates value".

What we ARE has dignity.

Tangents off this abound — but, for now, I'll just leave this here for your consideration/reflection, and will circle back later.

Retraumatized myself yet again by watching another video of organized state violence - A traffic stop death penalty.

If there was ever an example of a testosterone-induced gangland-pack circle-jerk feeding-frenzy of ravenous sadism, this is it.

They wind up for a good strike. Late arrivals rush to get their licks in. They exhaust themselves then return for more.

Hey my friends, I tried for the first time in my life - I liked it! It reminded me of foie gras, and then it hit me - it's marketing why haggis is not more widely embraced. "Haggis" doesn't sound appetizing, exotic. What y'all have is "Scottish pate" or "Highland pate" or "glen pate" or something of that sort!

Herschel Walker's concession speech was articulate, intelligible, even-toned, humane, humble, gregarious...

I get the impression his campaign antics were an act, that he was playing a blackface role, acting the fool, because that's about as much as THAT BASE thinks of a Black man and would vote for.

Thankfully, enough of Georgia voters have had enough of that nonesense.

SON: Mom, how come there are no Republicans in Star Trek?
MOM: Because it's the future, son.

The people who don’t respect boundaries are precisely the ones who need them.

Is it just me, or is anyone else starting to wonder about all these "sudden" deaths of young(er) people with "cause of death unknown"? Young people die of a disease, or a collision, or..something that is not not known.

Marjorie Taylor Greene just had a humiliating, uh, brain fart. youtu.be/Qwab4RnePto

Happy thanksgiving to all non-fascists and anti-bigots.

Everyone else can go to hell.

Eric Garner was killed because of officer safety.

Philandro Castille was killed because of officer safety.

17 students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas were killed because of officer safety.

George Floyd was killed because of officer safety.

Daunte Wright was killed because of officer safety.

19 babies and 2 teachers were killed at Robb Elementary School because of OFFICER SAFETY.

Would banning assault rifles make officers safe? Since we care about nothing else.

@99reasons4truth @th3j35t3r You might want to put up some kind of post addressing that somewhere the firehose won't immediately gobble it up. I'd hate for people to lose out on this experience because of the folly of your youth.

@th3j35t3r anyone who has followed you for any length of time on Twitter knows where your priorities lie. It's a desperate attempt by the right to try to silence you. We know better.
