“My father & grandfather served in segregated units during the World Wars. They fought for #democracy abroad while being denied it at home. When my grandfather returned to Mississippi from WWI, he was forced to flee the state by #WhiteSupremacists who saw his service in France — as a #Black man in an unsegregated society — as a threat. My father returned from WWII only to be treated like a #SecondClassCitizen, denied certain #veterans #benefits & rights under #JimCrow.
So fun fact: The owner / founder of the company I work for is holding company wide town halls today... unless you are a remote employee.
According to my manager, this is because the owner prefers in-person interactions.
So my manager will tell his remote people what they need to know in a separate Teams meeting after the fact.
Way to make me feel valued. Assholes.
The Supreme Court just made me a second-class citizen

My city has regulations against nuisance noise in residential areas. But the police say that it doesn't count as a nuisance unless multiple people complain.
What this means is that I will be tortured, indefinitely, by the new bar that moved in 5 blocks away, which plays live country music outdoors till 11pm nightly, because I'm the only one tortured by it.
The lawmakers and my fellow citizens don't know or care that people like me exist. I suffer every. single. day of my life, for senseless, unnecessary reasons, and it doesn't matter to anyone. This is why I am bitter and angry at the world, and I am trying to decide if I want to cry or yell in wordless fury right now. I did nothing wrong. But because I'm #autistic, my needs don't count like those of "normal" people. Anywhere, anytime. I am a #SecondClassCitizen, and I know it full well.
Fuck the world. You people could make room for us, but you won't even try.
@pivoinebleue #TedCruz is a delusional narcisist, like many others in GOPland.
He is a mean, ignorant, despicable, detestable pawn of the powers that desire the criminalization of the marginalized members of our citizenry.
I refuse to be a #SecondClassCitizen !!!

We lost a lot of respect for #JacintaArdern watching this video.
This isn't about #communism. Communism would say we are all in this together, if you get sick that affects me because I am your comrade and I will help you to get better.
This is #authoritarianism. Have this #medicalProcedure or be a #secondClassCitizen – be considered #lessThanHuman.
