Let’s take a moment to reflect on Black-Palestinian solidarity—🧵 /12.

There is a bizarre misconception that the Black Palestinian population is limited to hundreds in Jerusalem. The largest Black Palestinian population is in Gaza (over 20,000 ) - currently displaced and living through a genocide alongside their neighbors and countrymen.

you + kamala have nothing in common at the level of experience and to think you do is to inhabit one of two political postures (1) delusion or (2) collusion. black imperialists esp. have the entire arsenal of the state at hand. anti-black gender violence is their weapon. enough!

the “protect black women shield” is exactly why the Dems picked Kamala as the Captive Maternal fit to deliver this election. it’s not enough for her to be top cop against a criminal, restoring law & order to the nation her identity is the ideal liberal bulletproof vest

Black women, I beg you. Please do not use your Black womanhood to support being dismissive of genocide. Think about what you’re doing.

What’s happening with @NABJ is a perfect example of how spaces created by and for Black people are eventually co-opted by white supremacy to do its work.

Me ever since TikTok done put us on to Japanese R&B:
