SidAngela Davis at the port shut down rallies today in the Bay Area. Reportedly she popped out of a sunroof and spoke to people, who said it was a cool surprise.
The combo here of anti racism and pro labor is so goddamn amazing. Let the ruling class shake in fear.
Ethan 🌒@interneteh she’s so fuckin cool it’s unreal. Hero and role model.
Spammy Snarker L.J.@interneteh damn on the one hand it's so awesome to see her involved, but on the other I do not want her catching covid at her age 😬

@ljwrites @interneteh I'm just going to guess why it was just a small appearance
@maloki yeah I hope she minimizes her exposure, in many senses.
@ljwrites she's been on a lot of things talking, and it's been heartwarming to see her hope and excitement, she's noticing a huge difference
@maloki yeah her saying she feels a huge difference actually quickened my heartbeat! Maybe the U.S. is finally on the brink of that realization that James Baldwin spoke of, 50 years ago, that "We know that the fruits of this system have been ignorance, despair, and death, and we know that the system is doomed because the world can no longer afford it—if, indeed, it ever could have." https://www.nybooks.com/articles/1971/01/07/an-open-letter-to-my-sister-miss-angela-davis/
An Open Letter to My Sister, Miss Angela Davis | James Baldwin
One might have hoped that, by this hour, the very sight of chains on black flesh, or the very sight of chains, would be so intolerable a sight for the American people, and so unbearable a memory, that they would themselves spontaneously rise up and strike off the manacles. But, no, they appear to glory in their chains; now, more than ever, they appear to measure their safety in chains and corpses.

@interneteh It was actually planned that she would speak! She’s immunocompromised so she did her best to avoid being in a crowd, but she spoke at the ports and at another rally that happened later in the center of Oakland
