1. I'm so tired of performative anti-whiteness.
2. Performative anti-whiteness enables performative allyship.

3. Performative anti-whiteness is a gift to extremists.

4. Performative anti-whiteness spreads and reinforces fear among those who are susceptible.

5. Performative anti-whiteness doesn't make the lives of underclass minorities materially better.

It does not create systemic change.
6. Performative anti-whiteness allows people to revel in symbolic victories without tackling the hard work of building bridges and effecting change.

7. It's important that we all know our histories and share them but that's not something you can do effectively by shaming and scolding.

8. Finding and cultivating common humanity accomplishes much more.

1. If you've seen these tweets about what happened yesterday at the Red Lion Inn in Olympia, Washington and wondered about the missing context, see below. 👇

2. "Antifa" did not randomly besiege a hotel in Olympia, WA.

(Antifa is in quotes since neither local media nor police are identifying them as such from the sources I've reviewed.)

Full text of the city's statement via:

3.

"The Olympia Police Department (OPD) is in the process of clearing the Downtown Olympia Red Lion Hotel after it was forcibly occupied by a group identified as Oly Housing Now, a homeless activist group."

1. This is remarkable. 14 days after Princeton's president Christopher Eisgruber posted a letter to their website about their "efforts to combat systemic racism", the US Dept of Education has opened an investigation into Princeton's self-admitted racism.

2. #Princeton President Eisgruber’s 9/2/20 letter.

3. From DOE letter to Pres. Eisgruber:

“On September 2, 2020, you admitted Princeton’s education program is and for decades has been racist.”

They quoted from Eisgruber’s letter:

"Racist assumptions from the past also remain embedded in structures of the University itself."

🤫 No one tell the student(s) who reported Patton that nega ネガ means "negative" in Japanese (as in shashin nega 写真ネガ photo neg.).

Maybe don't tell them about negi 葱 (Welsh onion) either. 🙄

There is no way anyone could have misunderstood. Video:

2. Update:

Greg Patton said the Mandarin word 那个 “...commonly pronounced nèi ge (NAY-guh) or nà ge (NAH-guh). He was using the former pronunciation."

3. The students who reported Patton to USC were "a group of Black master’s candidates in the class of 2022”.

White House Rose Garden thread. 👇 There’s a lot of misinformation masquerading as commentary out there.
2. “Most notable is the absence of the 10 crabapple trees that were part of the original design. However, per a White House official, the shade they were casting over the flowers, as well as root growth, made it difficult to keep other plantings alive and healthy. ....”
3. “... The official also said the trees were taken to the offsite White House greenhouse to be cared for and that they will eventually be replanted around the White House grounds.”

1. Someone sent me a tip about this & I was trying to catch up on the situation and discovered that McLNeuro (BethAnn McLaughlin) has been suspended from Twitter sometimes between 1:28am EDT, the last time I looked at her account, and 2:28am.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BethAnn_M…
2. Archives of McLNeuro's tweets can be viewed here. Archive.is is case sensitive so different tweets may be archived at each link. You will need to add an asterisk at the end after clicking on the link.

3. There is speculation that McLaughlin ran a fake Twitter account for a non-existent indigenous professor at Arizona State University who she claimed died from COVID-19 last month and held a Zoom memorial service for.

Thread on how to evaluate a protest event/protest movement when deciding whether or not to support it with your time, money, and goods.
I’ve tried to keep these questions as open as possible so they’re applicable to any type of protest event or movement in any location.
People rarely make investments or take jobs without doing research so why should activism be any different?
