I'm here for NBA strikes. I'm here for EVERYBODY to strike.
I'm sick of Black people being expected to keep living our lives as if we're not being killed in the streets.
#NBABoycott
Yall are not getting it.
You honestly expect us to keep laboring for a system that continues to kill us.
I mean yall want Black people out your face so bad, don't complain when you turn on the game and we not there. #NBABoycott
I've seen some of yall group chat messages.
You're annoyed by our "complaining.
You think there's a "double standard".
You refuse to hire us because we're not a good fit for your "office culture".
You don't want us around.
Then you're shocked when we leave.
The HARDEST part about "anti-racist" labor? Making white folks believe how bad it is.
Your work culture IS mentally damaging enough for me to quit. That racist encounter WAS dangerous enough to be afraid for my life.
"Jameelah Is it really that bad? YES. IT IS."

Attending the zoom meeting of the Rockdale Legislative Delegations about the BioLab chemical plume. #ConyersGA #biolabfire
First off, Im attending via zoom because this meeting was held in a legislative building an hour away from the city at 10am on a workday. If our voices need to be heard, why is this meeting held in this manner?
Zoom audio went out. LIVESTREAM ON YOUTUBE HERE: LIVE | State legislators hold public meeting over BioLab chemical plume ()youtube.com

My biggest problem with voting will always be this:
People telling me to vote are nowhere to be found when I'm doing grassroots work to address the problems they told me voting would fix.
Yall run and tell me to vote, then you sit on your hands.
You don't attend programs.
You don't go to protests.
You don't even retweet GoFundMe's.
You vote and that's it. Cause you don't have any other plan for helping the people you say you care about.
"This is why we have to vote"
NO.
This is why you have to open your hand. Your door. Your wallet.
NO ONE ELSE IS COMING.

When I worked at Kroger I got paid 7.40 an hour.
I had to work 2 hours just to afford a taxi ride home.
Most of yall have no idea what its like to be on your feet ALL day and only come home with 53 dollars to show for it.
And it shows.
Whew. The way yall talk about money. Twitter is full of people who:
-Read "rich dad/poor dad"
-Do poverty cosplay but actually have decent financial access.
-Write about poor people but never had to LIVE on minimum wage.

Good morning to everyone in the universe EXCEPT the couple who made jewelry from the broken glass at protests.
At the @NMAAHC , there are iron grave markers. They were made by the ironworker of an all Black town during the Reconstruction era.
This white lady went to take a picture.
I calmly... firmly... told her she shouldnt do that.
She was about to have a whole gravemarker of a WHOLE deceased Black person in her phone. Walkin around with it.
Showing it to friends as a cool artifact.
Just like somebody is walking around with protest glass around their neck like memorabilia from a lynching.

Cause white witches and goths coming for @FredTJoseph , listen to me real quick: THERE ARE BLACK MYSTICS. Witch aesthetic Instagram doesnt tell you that, but we exist.
And as a whole Black mystic, seeing what he saw in that house, I would've left too.
Follow me for a second.
White people have a bad habit of buying "vintage" cute "little trinkets" to decorate their homes and guest rooms. White people do not have a good track record of knowing where their cultural artifact decor comes from.
So I would've been suspicious at the very least.
NOW...
@FredTJoseph mentioned all the trump paraphernalia in the area of the home.
Yall been calling trump and his presidency EVIL for 4 years. Dont look at a Black man funny when he leaves a home in a trump neighborhood with "kitschy" decor on the shelves.
THAT CONNECTION MATTERS.
