In an 11-3-1 vote Allegheny County Council has voted to PASS legislation banning cooperation with ICE county wide.

🎉🎉🎉

Strangely enough they DID have those things and could have those things if the US would lift the blockade and stop sanctioning them.

Assata Shakur thrived in Cuba and they protected her. What did the US do for her and other revolutionaries

We don’t get to decide what form of government is right for another country and you would be pissed if someone came to liberate us based on our human and civil rights violations

They’re currently being starved and denied resources in the name of “freedom”.

It’s not our place to overthrow their government. And you speak of the people as a monolith when many in Cuba are happy.

There’s a reason we don’t try this shit in North Korea or China

An oppressive government never brings freedom to another. Leave them people alone

Trump isn’t even pretending that his assault on Cuba is linked to drugs or national security.

He wants Cuba to fall because the existence of a nation that defies the idea that capitalism is a necessary evil is a threat to the ideological brainwashing necessary to maintain power in the US.

Kristi Noem got fired today.

I guess sleeping with that man on the plane was the final straw for Trump.

Trump probably has Netanyahu hidden on Epstein Island since it’s clear no one is interested in looking into what goes on over there.

I was radicalized by a kind elderly Presbyterian minister in a brightly colored cardigan who played with puppets and told me that people could like me exactly as I am and that everyone is different and that's great and we should like them exactly as THEY are.

Every man has their favorite emotional support lie.

ICE dropped a blind, elderly, non English speaking refugee of at a coffee shop in the middle of the night in winter.
He was found dead days later.

ICE claims he had no disabilities requiring assistance...he was blind.

I was about to ask how Trump is still talking and then I remembered that I also have an Adderall prescription.

I am a Black disabled person who is speaking on racism WITHIN disability justice spaces, hope that helps

I don’t have to ask. I’ve discussed their failures in multiple posts on threads.

But yes, your ask is that Black people accommodate and get over racial slurs being thrown at them in the name of disability justice and the answer to that ask is no.

Your solution is for Black people to accommodate and adapt to racial trauma and harm—your solution is unacceptable

3. We deserve more than an outsourced apology. He’s a capable adult who can make an apology.

2. If Black people are your trigger then stay the fuck away from us. We deserve to feel and be safe. The problem is you think the burden should be on Black people to heal without apology and to get over it. You refuse to consider us and humanize us

1. His usual tics may be offensive but this particular tic is harmful. It’s not just the pain and trauma (which you’re minimizing) but it’s also the fact that that word is a threat. It’s danger from a white man’s mouth. It’s linked with death and makes an environment unsafe.

1. We are all responsible for mitigating the harm caused by our actions—voluntarily caused or not

2. You don’t get to decide that Black people are not owed an apology

3.As someone with a disability, I can say with full confidence that I am aware of my limitations and I know I have to mitigate harm

None of this negates his responsibility to apologize and repair harm.
None of this is an excuse to subject Black people to racial trauma.
He is a grown man who knows his tics and triggers and has a responsibility to mitigate harm.

I don’t want to live in a backwards world where “Free Palestine” is considered offensive and the n word is not.

It doesn’t mean that he’s NOT racist though and we need to stop pretending that it’s not a possibility. And racist or not, he said it 3x and should have been removed to mitigate harm

Not just to those two. He directly said it a Black woman from the Sinners team that night and again a third time

The accountability y’all expected from Kanye is the same accountability you need to ask of John Davidson.

Tourette’s doesn’t excuse racism just like bipolar doesn’t excuse antisemitism.

Side note: Israel should not have been allowed to or invited to compete in the Olympics in the first place. We banned Russia. We can ban them too.

Important to note that Israel’s team captain called the team the “actual talented” version of Cool Runnings.

The Jamaican team placed higher than them.

The Israeli bobsled team has been disqualified from the Olympics for attempting to cheat. The team attempted to illegally substitute a player after faking an illness.

This was after Israel placed dead last in almost every round.

Please don’t post the Malcolm X “by any means necessary” quote if you think that only means protesting, boycott, and nonviolent resistance.

Y'all remember how they arrested Capone for tax crimes and not murder and mob shit?
That's basically what the Prince Andrew Epstein arrest is.
