When @selmekki breaks it down, the silence around Columbus’s so-called “legacy” starts to sound like a cover-up instead of history.

🚹 ATTN. New Jersey: MIKIE SHERRILL
 - Refuses to commit that she won’t raise New Jersey’s sales tax. - Her plan will “cost you an arm and a leg, but if you’re a good person, YOU’LL DO IT.” As Governor, Mikie Sherrill will make YOU PAY! Vote AGAINST her on 11/4.

Ever heard of #WhiteSavagery? @Teacherishx of @selmekki’s mom naming it plain and raw is the kind of clarity that cuts through the fog: what we’re seeing right now isn’t power, it’s violence dressed up in policy, tradition, and false authority.

Why is the right so angry? They control the entire government and they’re still miserable f*cks. Joy Reid nailed it.

In 1946 WWII veteran Maceo Snipes was shot in his back by the KKK the day after he became the first Black person to cast a vote in Taylor County, Georgia. After he was shot, Mr. Snipes walked three miles to the hospital with his mother. For six hours doctors left him waiting

When folks talk about “gang violence,” they point to our blocks, our neighborhoods, our people but the biggest, deadliest gang has always been white supremacy. @selmekki

Remember when Trump took out a newspaper ad calling for 5 Black men to be lynched & then someone else confessed & DNA confirmed it but MAGAworld created a conspiracy theory that the Black guys were still guilty & should’ve been lynched? We need to stop this incendiary rhetoric

!! @citizenstewart & @selmekki reminded us: anti-Blackness has no shade. You can be Black and still carry contempt, still teach from a lens warped by bias, privilege, or disconnection from the community you serve.
