It's Going DownAn injury to one is an injury to all!
After Proud Boys attacked and blooded community defenders of a kid's event in #SilverSpring, #Maryland, people came out in mass numbers to defend another event in #DC.
Activists with Parasol Patrol wrote:
"DMV Chapter to help shield children & their families from hate today! We also had an event in FL and two in CO. We have another in Baltimore tomorrow! Feel free to volunteer/support us! Write to [email protected] no matter what state you're in!"
Evan Greer 🏳️⚧️Let's say the Chinese government was using TikTok to surveil Americans.
If you ban Tik Tok, the Chinese gov can just legally purchase the same info from data brokers, because the US has almost no privacy laws.
Don't ban TikTok, pass a damn privacy law https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/01/opinion/tiktok-ban-china.html
EJ MasonPlease understand something: if a Disabled person has to ask someone else for access to something – an elevator; a written transcript; an environment that accommodates their disabilities – that thing is not accessible.

Some white folk like MLK for how he makes them feel: hopeful and absolved. Most Black folk like MLK for what he did for us: Voting Rights Act, shone light on injustices done to Black people.
If MLK joined Mastodon, some folks would tell him to CW his own mistreatment, then kick him off of his server, then subject him to targeted threats of violence, then when he left Mastodon to avoid abuse, would say it's because he craves followers and clout. 🤷🏿♂️
The Letter from Birmingham Jail (White Moderates) -Martin Luther King Jr.
It's 2023 and Black people in the USA still don't have equal voting access. Like I said, the civil rights era didn't end. You are still in it.
People just pretended that the civil rights era ended once they had assassinated enough of the major civil rights leaders. But the objectives of the civil rights era have not yet been achieved.
Now we have to listen to racists that misquote MLK, and then disrespect modern day civil rights leaders like Kaepernick and Stacey Abrams the very next breathe.
Most US folk don't know about COINTELPRO, the FBI program that targeted Black civil rights leaders for false arrest, and yes, assassination. US folks don't know this, because it's not taught in schools. But Black kids know about COINTELPRO.
Most US folk don't know what a "Black Identity Extremist" is. Again, not taught in schools. If you joined a George Floyd BLM protest, there's a good chance you were investigated as a Black Identity Extremist. Again by the FBI. Black kids know this.
Kikii had a dream about starting a blog network for disabled and chronically ill writers so i am starting one.
autumnMastodon needs more #Mohawk people posting so the top results aren't photos of hair. I'd guess the search results are similarly muddied for #Apache #Cherokee #Winnebago #Cree and others. They steal our people and our names. They try to erase us.
