This is a thread, dated 12/21/20, of literally the exact thing that happened. It was reported. It was known. I hope there will be a full investigation and have it be known to the public just how complicit and involved the Republican Party is/was and those within the police. I hope so many more charges are coming. And I hope the police step up in the next week and a half.

New England is a trip. RI has all the disconnect with being a blue state, but full of conservative catholic Democrats. And then you have the teacher confederate wanna bes up in the Foster area. Most of my time spent living in Rhode Island was spent figuring out what exactly the fuck is going on in Rhode Island lol

Original tweet this was replying to was referencing that AOC's shoes were apparently stolen.

Girl, I grew up in western MA. The hilltowns are full of confederate flag waving, gun toting, wannabe terrorists. Sports/history nerd activated! Reminder the Red Sox were the last team to integrate because Tom Yawkey was a raging racist. And in 2017 someone in the stands called Adam Jones the N word and threw a bag of peanuts at him. They finally renamed the street outside Fenway like two years ago. www.npr.org/2018/04/26/605851052/boston-red-sox-want-to-strike-former-owners-name-off-street-signOK I'm done now

When people suggest there are no racists in New England I'm just like It's the "I have a black friend and I also don't live in the south" form of racism. Couldn't possibly be racist as a democrat in the the north. Spoiler alert: they are very, very racist and problematic. Lots of being "color-blind" and tokenism, and "if they just cooperated with the police" line of thinking. Then there's the fact that the former leader of the KKK lives a few town over from me and ran the town's VFW for a while. Nope, not racist at all.

Ok, I wasn't actually suggesting there were no racists in New England - my own school committee has had two live verbal attacks on our members of color in the last month;
It was more surprise that people rented buses to ride there. Enough people to fill those buses. It just still surprises me.

And more so, upon reflection, surprises=scares. I'm a (generally) invisible minority. If all of those people in my area are capable of that, its terrifying for my family's safety. I recognize the privilege in being invisible for the most part unless I choose not to be. But I have gotten to a place I generally feel safe in life, around here.

I live in an affluent town in RI that didn't seem to know we had racists among up until there was an argument over a property line this summer and a white man started spewing racist slurs to their neighbor, who is a POC. The whole town went into an uproar, which was great, but we also saw lots of KKK and racist stickers and signage start to popup. Especially in playgrounds, which was disconcerting. I really think people believed it didn't exist here. Since then there have been so many letters to the editor in our local paper about how our town doesn't have a race problem. People can't see what they don't want to.

I think we all just went on a journey of venting about new England, not directed at you I'm sorry you feel unsafe ❤️ NE venting is welcome. Bellicheck...ugh. Brady...ugh.
Luckily I dont really ever leave the house these days anyway...so Im safe in my little corner of the world.

People can't see what they don't want to. Yup, my town is trying to change our mascot (Colonial) and its brought everyone out with their misinformed historical knowledge. Our select board chair said live during a meeting that racism in our town isnt real, its just kids being kids. I sent him a strongly worded letter.

I was also shocked that almost 40% of RI went to Trump. I am holding that in my pocket for anyone who says their vote doesn't matter in RI. @icedtea, that whole Foster area was Trump. Also the area where my best friend from work continued her life as normal, maskless and going to hang with friends, going out to parties, etc. Her family got COVID last week. They are largely asymptomatic and she will likely say it is just a cold when out of quarantine:(

See people ask why I live in Idaho. I just assume you're racist until you prove otherwise. There is no guessing involved. Know your enemy and shit.

Ugh to Brady- sorry sidetracking! I thought with him moving on I wouldn't have to hear about him at work but my boss is obsessed and gave us a whole rundown of how he is still the GOAT during our zoom staff meeting today. I got close to the camera and rolled my eyes but only a few saw.
