If you participate in the racism, or keep your mouth shut, that makes YOU A RACIST. There is no such thing as a bystander to racism. You do nothing, YOU ARE ONE.

When people say “it won’t be so bad,” that means for THEM. They THINK it won’t be bad for THEM.

I don’t think we talk enough about how our government and nation are under attack by a foreign enemy.

When you understand that "fitting in" is neither possible, nor should it be your goal, it's very freeing. You can be yourself because you get how much it doesn't fucking matter anyway.

If you think you're inherently better than someone else because of your fucking skin tone, you're the fool. You've been raised a fool, by fools.

Potential exists. It's everywhere.

Don't do what you're told. Do what you think is right.

If you use Threads or Bluesky, you get an "F" in anti-fascism.

So, kids have the agency to decide to work, but women don't have the agency to control their bodies. Makes sense.🙄

Take note. You can have more money than anyone on the planet and still be a total loser.

I'm a Black woman and I've lived my life under fascism in the United States. Speaking my mind has always come at a cost. I've accepted the price, because my dignity is priceless.

Hey media members, you lied for the fascists and helped them gain power for 4 years. If you continue to help them and they gain power again, they'll DISPOSE of you.

Sometimes, when you commit a racist murder for all to see, you may get stabbed in prison. 🤷🏾♀️

I want humans to answer my questions, so I'll always hit the "0" key until someone answers. Fuck your automated menu.

At the school where my sister works, the pre-schoolers ask "how many sleeps is it" until the weekend. So cute!

Being a good and decent person is NOT A PASSIVE ACT.

Our children deserve to be fought for. We're the only people who can do that.

I want people to pull their heads out of their asses and realize the type of trouble we're in. Then, I want people to come up with alternatives because "it can't be done" is not acceptable. We have to TRY. Not trying is the most pathetic thing I've EVER heard of.

I'm 59. When I was born, segregation existed, interracial marriage was illegal and women were not allowed to have credit cards in their own names until I was 11 years old. CIVIL RIGHTS ARE A NEW THING.

The lesson to take away from the Twitter debacle is NO MORE PARTICIPATION in PRIVATELY owned social media companies. Fool me once...
