Summary of June 1

The President asked the Governors to start beating more black people but JB Pritzker told him to stop trying to make Civil War happen so instead Trump tear gassed his own people to make a campaign ad standing outside a church holding a Bible upside down and...
now the priests are Baptist angry and are probably gonna do Voodoo against him, but the New York Times and LAPD still think black people deserve to get their skulls cracked in one way or another so Trump is going to get away with it so...
all we can really do is drag Sabrina the Racist Witch and hope we survive another day.

The President is on. The real one. Before white people put in this racist con man.
Hope Amy Cooper felt that burn in the empty space where her soul is supposed to be.
While he was talking about how mayors could be implementing changes right now, I really wished he was going to say “Bill de Blasio should be set adrift” But, I know he can’t. It wouldn’t even be helpful.

Still... Bill de Blasio should be set adrift.

I mentioned last week that @Mimirocah1 was running for DA of my town to replace that guy and, well, now you know why it's SO IMPORTANT to pay attention to your local district attorney primaries if you care about police reform.

Moving around the country while black is really about learning how each new community hates you in its own specific, weird little way. Learning which parts of which towns are *not okay* for you to visit. Learning new "deeply held traditions" of racism that can get you killed.
I remember my freshman year at college, my now-wife wanted to go the SPD parade. IN SOUTHY.

She's from Sub-Saharan Africa and I was trying to, like, gently explain why that was a bad idea.

A Boston-bred roommate cut to the chase: "You're... black. You can't go to that."
