I don't want to see any Republican who voted for or against impeachment quoting #MLK. Since the 1960s, the @GOP has existed as an anti-BIPOC machine who prioritize "stability" (they don't) and "economy" (for whites) over the existence and advancement of Black and brown people.

@AfronautGriot

When white (and white identifying) people call government officials and workers "traitors" what they really mean is that their system of reality erases Black + indigenous existence.

I love how the trumpians have totally bypassed big government and dived headfirst into full blown dick-tatorship.

You cannot uproot the ecosystem of white supremacy by attempting to appease its gardeners and gatekeepers.

When Republicans argue that impeaching trump would further "enrage" his base, they are echoing the sentiments of segregationists politicians from the 60s who argued desegregation would "enrage" white suburban and working class folks . . .

@AfronautGriot

These segregationist romanticized “a southern way of life,” to draw a distinction between the North and the South, oppose progressive and antiracist reforms, misdirect attention from white violence, and mask exploitation and practices against Black Southerners. #JimCrow

Just a reminder that for an entire summer when Black, brown, beige, and pink people protested against police brutality and state-sanctioned violence, no police officers died. 🌈 #BlackLivesMatter #BlackTwitter

January 7th, 2021 marks Zora Neale Hurston's 130th birthday! While born in Alabama, Zora adopted Eatonville, Florida as her hometown after her family moved there while she was still a toddler. ()

My friend whispered wisdom into the universe when she said "White women who voted for Trump don't realize how disposable they are."

@AfronautGriot

#WhitePrivilege is the preservation of perceived power that comes with white supremacy.

@AfronautGriot

White supremacy turns white women into sacrificial lambs who don't realize the system they're protecting is killing them.

So basically, officers in DC were coup chaperones.

Always notable to see who they openly protect and serve and who they criminalize and violently engage.

@AfronautGriot

We black historians watching today's white violence rippling across the nation's capital are basically Cassandra watching the fall of Troy after y'all let the damn horse into the city. #blkhistorygrammers #blacklivesmatter
