I just remembered I have this account with 66k followers... Haven't posted in a while since Tumblr decided shirtless male content was pornographic, but I've decided it's time to say the following...
Black Lives Matter. Period.
The brutal violence we saw used against peaceful protesters (and clergy of St. John's Church) in DC yesterday is so fucking disgusting.
I've lived in this city most of my life and have witnessed countless peaceful protests; all of which have been met with peaceful police presence.
Yesterday was different.
Peaceful protesters had teargass / concussion bombs shot at them and punches thrown at them just so the impeached president could have a stupid photo op with a Bible he doesn't read in front of a church he doesn't attend.
To any of my 66k followers who are part of the Black Lives Matter movement who want to amplify anything they're trying to say, please message me. I'm happy to give you access to my platform.
... and to my white followers who haven't spoken up, SPEAK UP. You don't have to do so on Tumblr, but do so somewhere. Know that your continued silence is deafening.
