@Deglassco Worldwide, US Embassies send Consulars to jails to advocate for citizens who violate the laws of countries. What made this situation different was celebrity status and geopolitical value. The Russians won this one geopolitically. But from Jackie Robinson and Ali, to Kapernick, vocal progressive #bipoc athletes have never had a POTUS go out on a political limb like Biden. Kudos! #blackmastodon #blackfriday #brittanygriner #blacktwitter #BlackHistory #tellourtruth

@MelodyCooper those are the moments that almost have to be on video. It’s infuriating that #bipoc get more traction on issues of racism only when folks see the video and are “shocked.” Our word has never been good enough, but let someone say a BIPOC acted improperly and no video is necessary. It’s exhausting. #EndRacismNow #blacktwitter #bipoc #blackmastodon #antiracism #tellourtruth
