It's 2023, and there's a US election in 2024 that will determine the future of climate change, war in Ukraine, the global economy, reproductive rights, and global fascism.
And folks still want to talk about Cambridge Analytica in 2015, instead of stuff like this:
The reason you can't make any progress on:
* Climate change
* Reproductive rights
* Trans rights
Is because too many Black folk are denied the right to vote. Focus on that instead of your pet issue.
I'm a climate doomer, because I know that no progress on the climate can happen unless Black voting rights in the US get sorted. And we aren't even paying attention to the Black voting problem, let alone close to solving it.
There is no path to making meaningful progress on climate change that doesn't go through Black people in the US getting to vote. None. The fact that we still can't accept this, is why I'm not optimistic about our chances to do anything meaningful about the climate.
@mekkaokereke The naked fact that the only way America can avoid being (more of) a dumpster fire - is to listen to Black people and to avoid blocking our capacity to warn the rest of them of the truly terrible shit to come…it just makes me weak.
My grandfather died >40 years ago and had already called this. The willingness to harm us thinking that the fire won’t spread is a sad feature.
