[ALL lives matter]
Thursday, 19 June 2025 06:59Not just black ones. I thought. I wound talk about this today since it is is Juneteenth.
Black Lives Matter.So do Native American ones. We’re including POC broadly here.
We have come so far as a country(we had a black president, for fuck’s sake! )But took a huge step back with the first(and now second) T***p presidency.
We did Native Americans dirty(boy did we EVER..I just watched a TV show about Sitting Bull and I was HORRIFIED. Two words:Smallpox blankets. And at one point T***p was trying to deport Native Americans from the U.S. Yes, really.. On brand for the Orange Douche bag, though.
We also did African Americans dirty. And we’re going backwards with that. Two words:Jim Crow. There are still places in this country that are just not..safe for people of colour.
Black women are more likely to not be listened to when three tell doctors something is wrong;because of this black women are MUCH more likely to die from complications of childbirth.And that is SHAMEFUL.
Honestly I could be here all day talking about all the ways that POC(people of colour) have been done dirty.And we would be here all day.And there is as not as much nuance to this post as I would like ..deal with it.I *do* think T***p has emboldened his cult members to harass/harm “others”.(even here in California you see cars with T***p stickers(and flags-yes,I am using the plural here.)
T***p fails to forget that we are a country that was made as great at it was(well, before he was President..the first time,,and then the second.) by immigrants. T***p learned now to walk all over others from his dad. Is anyone surprised?Nope.
