*speaking from a ghostly web in a corner of the room* Remember your roots this pride month young queer,,, paying to get into a city-sanctioned pride party and walking in a pride parade where DHS and police is advertising how lgbtq friendly they are isnt who you are,,,
342,500,000 of us in this damn country and somehow not a single white person with an accuracy stat above 10% and basic planning abilities willing to take one for the team again.
Like yeag I’m sayin shit more bluntly on main rn but the fact that I see news of a Black person being lynched more often than I see news of someone at least trying to do something more useful against any piece of our current state of affairs is wild.
I try very hard to ride the line of not saying/doing things that will get my account of 13 years terminated but it’s like.
The right wing is constantly doing vigilante shit and imposing life, interpersonal, economic, and mental consequences on marginalized folks and those who support them for the crime of existing and being oppressed. They’ll publicly lynch 16 year old Black girls, 19 year old trans girls, burn down abortion clinics, shoot up literally anywhere, destroy/damage houses, and so much more.
And we.. protest and maybe do graffiti. Organize to “vote blue no matter who” type bullshit. We don’t even punch Nazis anymore lmfao. A lot of the non-white organizers and activists who became publicly known for stuff like taking down confederate flags, action in 2020, etc. in the past decade are dead or in jail now, often likely because of vigilante/cop action.
Iunno. I’m one Black tranny cripple and my literal ability to do.. anything, anymore is minimal. But I feel like I’m losing my mind watching almost nothing happen here while elsewhere resisters are literally dismantling weapons factories piece by piece until they can’t function.
And I just know if I hop on Facebook or Twitter and scroll for a couple minutes I’ll see another lynching and no meaningful material action and I’m so fucking tired.
I just tested this. I opened Facebook, scrolled for 11 seconds, and learned about Paris Harris, a Black trans woman, being shot in Dallas. She was 21.
“Paris was loved, remembered as “unapologetically Paris,” and deserved to be named with dignity.”
They won’t stop killing us, harming us, hunting us.
TW; child death, racial violence, racial violence via the court system, torture of a child
Opened Twitter, scrolled for 27 seconds, learned about Jor’Dynn Duncan, a 7 year old Black girl who was tortured to death over months with 90 stab wounds, by three white women (step-grandmother, step-mother, and step-sister) in Long Island after courts granted the step-mother custody over her.
