Looting is uncalled for. So please return the land to the Dakota and neighboring First Nations.
Did I lie?
This part....they had to murder the white boy that the Dakota refused to let die and be orphaned.....wtf.

Here's the bottom line....the blanket kids gloves treatment given to the #January6th crowd has centuries lasting potential for all further public disobedience, protest&response. The free for all at the U.S. Capitol means the double standard has now meant critique is meaningless.
I don't remember anyone blaming music, or attire or parenting skills or culture or color on #January6th and if you plan to test me...white supremacy can infect anyone...
But tonight there will be right wing vitriol. There will be low key calls for neo-eugenics, there will be shaking of heads by hired Black right-ists who will tweet as their masters bid them....

Part of being Black is telling white people who say "You should be offended..." that every single day we negotiate and navigate where our battles lie, and while their concern is appreciated, what we choose to confront individually is a matter of personal choice and mental health.
And not really their business....
While we are at it...also respect a groups humor and the things you will never grasp. Not everything is for you or within your realm of understanding. All culture is not community property or breachable just because you believe in the sketchy concept of "universality..."

I think its part of my destiny to write about the story of Black bears and I don't mean the ones living on the Appalachian trail. We Black queer cis/trans men who identify with #bearish culture have a very unique set of blessings and challenges and our own origin story. Image
And yes I own that entire outfit.
#LGBTQ history and lifestyle narratives will be incomplete until those of us with very different #bodyody 's are acknowledged not only as representative but thoroughly resistant in our demand that we have aesthetic and erotic identities too

It seems like we have a new divide. And I understand why. I also understand that we cannot return to practices that lead to cyclical repeats of systemic injustice.
To that end we need a few friendly reminders:
1. Twitter is not lobbying or voter registration or the voting booth.
2. Money talks and bs walks.
3. Diversify your activism portfolio--collective legal action is important, local activism, commit to shaping your local politics now....now...now...and your state legislatures, judicial appointments and executive branches.
4. Get people who are passionate but civically apathetic to get registered. We have too many people who can vote and do not.
5. Felons who have served their time and pay taxes should be voting. (Don't get in my ass...im going for what will get mass appeal.)
6. Organize and act.
