here’s your daily reminder that Sister Rosetta Tharpe, a black bisexual woman, invented rock & roll

you need to sit back and analyze just how privileged you are if you get to say "i dont want to talk about or look at what's happening right now. i dont want this negativity." poc, especially black people, cant just decide that like others can. they can't just close their eyes and ignore posts and be comfortable and sheltered. theyre forced into this situation. theyre the ones experiencing the murders, the abuse, the racism, that youre so damn privileged to be able to just click away from. silence is violence in it's own way. use your voice to uplift the downtrodden instead of pretending it's not happening just outside of your picket fences.

seattle police fired tens of canisters of tear gas indiscriminately into a crowd, they flanked us, they fired fucking flash bangs directly into the crowd, if you are downtown right now please get out they are not fucking around and they are going for everyone, they maced a fucking ten year old little girl

theyre bringing busses and cops are in riot gear ready for mass arrests and they will be shutting down the city

hey white mutuals posting about unrelated topics- i see you. hold this bitch accountable for his actions.
