The first photo is from 1956. It shows a Black woman watching members of the Ku Klux Klan (a terrorist, racist, far-right organization focused on white supremacy) walking along a sidewalk in Montgomery, Alabama (USA). I couldn't find the photo's author, but most sources state that it was taken in 1956.

The second photo shows members of the Patriot Front group (a white supremacist and nationalist group, formed in 2017, that openly advocates what they call "American Fascism") traveling on the subway during the 250th anniversary of the U.S. independence in Washington D.C., while a Black woman watches them. The photo is by photographer Cheney Orr, taken on July 4, 2026, 70 years after the first photo.

Wild how no one made announcements like this about P.Diddy when his trial was happening.

Wild how abusive artists like Micheal Jackson can have biography movies made and not a single mention of accused abuses or the subsequent trials will be mentioned.

Hmmmm I wonder why people feel the need to explicitly condemn women and any action they may have possibly been a part of (like inviting a shitty guy to your wedding) yet do not extend this same behavior to men in the same industry who commit abuse and atrocities on a much larger scale 🤔?

it hurts my feelings when people frame my criticism of systems and institutions as negativity. i spend time thinking about all of this because I am very passionate about human welfare and I think our society does a very bad job of ensuring welfare for the humans who make it up in the way it is currently structured. talking about this and discussing alternatives and connecting with other ppl failed by these systems is something I do out of a fierce and defiant love of us, the people who are considered acceptable to discard. I love us. i love us so much. i want everything for us. i want joy and safety for all of us.

the things I say are only "negative" if your priority is protecting systems rather than people. its remarkable how well systems ensure that individuals feel connected to and defensive of them even when we are not being well served by them. standing up and saying "hey actually this hurt me. it hurt a lot of people. I can see exactly how and why it hurts people and I can't ignore or justify this" is a positive stance. a positive action. i love us the disposable people.

i am not glad that what happened to me happened. but, if the world works the way it does, I am grateful that I was put in a position where I was able to see that. i would not choose to be isolated from the harm if given the choice, because that would mean abandoning the people who are harmed. now that I have seen the faces of everyone else standing outside the gates I would not want to exist in a bubble wherein I refused to acknowledge their very existence. that's intolerable to think about for me. that's ghoulish.

i want a world based on collaboration and not competition, I want a world without hierarchies. i want these things because I love people
