Everything DC. Independent historian and researcher. Context and nuance tingle my britches. I be laughing, but I don’t be playin.
D.C.
Joined March 2021
Starting a thread to document the D.C. that shaped me. The people, streets, images, and family stories that don’t always make the history books. Much of my city has vastly changed (for better & worst) because of gentrification, so this is my way of memorializing 🤗:

Remember the toy store that 3D prints whistles and gives them out free for protestors? They came for her.

this is the kind of thing that overwhelms me to think about. what happens to a person's car when they're abducted? what if it's stolen? if you're detained for months on end, what happens to your house? and when you're released because it was a mistake, who picks up the pieces?
Empty car sitting at the intersection of 35th and Pillsbury with its flashers on. There are these ghost cars all over Minneapolis right now from ICE snatching people out of their vehicle in the middle of the street.

Most importantly…..discernment. Keep plans and locations off social media… not everyone can be trusted. Infiltrators and informants are real — they are black and brown people who have been indoctrinated. They will sell their soul just to breathe white supremacist air.

Everything Black people said happened to our elders and ancestors were minimized, dismissed, or rewritten. It’s unfortunate many people are learning this way… But also, if you’re gonna get into organizing and protest, you need to learn from those who already did it

I said this in the past, but if you have access to any George Orwell’s books… Read them!! get them from the library…..purchase before they’re no longer available And if you have not watched the handmaid’s Tale, log into your Hulu/Disney account and get moving!

You are not “safe” because you currently aren’t the center of attention. Those that benefit and uphold white supremacist values do not care who you are. They will literally sacrifice their own kind. Don’t ever think this isn’t a “you” problem.

People are witnessing the exact tactics used to colonize in real time. Fear is deliberately being instilled into the American population as a STARTING point to control. Please don’t think this isn’t a “you” problem because it happened to your ancestors..

Many Black in the south (mainly Bible Belt) absolutely feel like this, but only in Florida will it be said out loud LMAO She should also note that the whites in the south won’t accept her either lmao
Woke spicy Latina takes a trip to Florida and is instantly disappointed because Black people don’t see her as Black

When it’s a new school building, we get the Mayor and a big ribbon. When it’s millions of gallons of shit spilling into a river, we get a Friday night statement from “doeecomms.”
Bowser administration @DOEE_DC issues statement on sewage spill falsely claiming the it’s being contained in the canal. In fact it continues to flow directly into Potomac River at 40 million gallons a day.
