I found this so interesting and sad. It’s part of an interview of Beyoncé’s mom, and how her name came to be, and how racism is tied to it. These are things that have just never occurred to me and it makes me wonder what else I haven’t even considered. It’s just so awful. Interview

I’m pretty sure my twitter account looks like a troll account. I have only a handful of followers, I rarely like or retweet anything and never have my own tweets. I just use it to get the news as fast as the rest of you 😂 I only look like a troll unless you look at my comments in Librarian Twitter. 👀

DHS and Congress say they are investigating the ICE whistleblower complaint. I'm guessing this is why Chad Wolf didn't show up for today's HHSC hearing.

not medicated enough to forego slamming chairman Nadler. That's tough bc she's batty and loves to peddle garbage, but when Democrats say "Antifa is a myth" I cringe bc there are people who identify as part of an antifascist, by-any-means-necessary movement. And it sucks.

nothing to do with anything but I wore two different sandals today. They are VERY similar but one has a black buckle on a side strap and the other is bronze. otherwise they are identical, luckily i work with all men and none of them will notice. Yesterday I realized I sent my mortgage payment to my HOA on the 1st. So thats been fun. its not my week.

ok, these guys need to get out of congress. But Antifa can feed people who are rioting that means they must be organized, they can post bail, so obviously they have leadership.
Obviously they've never seen a gofundme or any other social media movement for help. so yes there might be a 'leader' but come on.
One local activist put out a call for donations of food, supplies and cash to help out on an reservation whose small general store ran out of almost everything. Within 3 days she had an entire trailer full. it makes sense that it works that way as well.
I'm NOT downplaying anything but there is a distance between what they are asking and what happens on the street.

They are doing the whole, "your giving us shit for the KKK so we are going to make BLM/Antifa to be a black version of the KKK" by saying they must have leadership when they clearly don't.

This question about a public report around a perpetrator after a mass shooting seems like a pre loaded question to get information pulbic about a person so that when it is posted on social media they can blame them based on their history or criminal record and using it to blame more people and explain why not being republican or Christian was the reason they were the perpetrator. It all seems like a bigger ploy to dehumanize people.

All of the people saying how the left hate the police and want them dead because of this incident....whoops, he’s a right wing extremist? On to the next thing!

I guess my question is, if you're so upset by black lives matter protests, what are you doing to address and correct the injustices being protested? Oh, you're doing nothing? You are, in fact, making sure that a system of oppression remains intact? Then fuck you, you don't get to be mad that someone burned down your fucking Quiznos.

Also a lot of times when Antifa seems to have structure it is actually people in Food not Bombs, which is an ord with structure. A lot of the people in that group identify as anarchist or antifascist. And if you asked them at a protest they'd be like yeah I'm Antifa. It's very frustrating.
