And the only names being said over and over are the white ones.
And that's why we're here.

I'm feeling judged.
A tweet from a Muslim scholar justifying Ottoman enslavement of Greek boys.
Readers note explaining that slavery was not benevolent
The same user justifying enslavement by calling it "civilization."
Explaining history, including our Muslim history, is one thing.
Justifying everything in it, including SLAVERY under the Ottomans is another.
Romanticizing our past to this degree is beyond repugnant.
This is exactly why Armenian, Assyrian, and Greek Genocide by the Ottomans is too often denied.
If you are talking about training today, you are a mark.
Here's the thing. It's very easy right now for folks to hop online and make a big show of dique ~protecting trans people~. But it's also easy branding, good copy, nice for the engagement metrics.
How do they actually treat the trans ppl in their lives/their communities? That's the REAL question.
audio on for community whistling repelling ICE/BP from the scene
My aunt would've loved this concert Benito.
I love and miss you, Ann.
While talking about Teena Marie's "Irons In The Fire" album, @christhewriter.bsky.social had a quick thought about people he wishes he could've seen in concert.
She was definitely on that list. #MusicSky

That salary is as criminal as the candidate.
Interrupting #BeyondTheGates for that report is antiblack.
The twins have Trauma and they need a non familiar therapist #BTG #BeyondTheGates
hi, cis folks!
if you said youβd stand with trans people, we need you now.
the FY26 budget bill gets a vote by 9/30. the GOP wants to jam a ban on federal funding for ALL health services that provide trans care for ANY AGE.
we need you to call senators: reps.fyi
more info & script downthread.π§΅
Some storylines I enjoyed. I'll also say it can get preachy in terms of drilling.
Chelsea what style of self-defense did you learn? #BTG #BeyondTheGates
The Democrats being genocidal (but with better optics) made less people want to vote for them.
The point of politics is getting as many people to vote for you as possible.
The Dems gambled that the fear of Trump would override the apathy to vote.
They lost the bet. Now here we are.
DC is still very much a fractured city in terms of racial and economic demographics and the city can't wait for Dem majority and statehood. Y'all joined this app to "resist", you reposted and shared your distrust of this regime. Here's your chance to be more than an online bystander.
LA, DC, and Chicago are all majority Black cities, and while Black communities are consistently under threat we're still here.
Are you gonna show up for us?
The national guard in a Black neighborhood is not a distraction, okay? Thatβs fascism.
Yall are waiting for the βbig thingβ and heβs building it in your face.
A tale of two DCs.
I don't want her anywhere near DC youth.
DC residents don't make DC unsafe. Militarized police and unlawful curfews do. #DCHomeruleRevoked
When Kat eventually teams up with her sister Eva likely against Tomas....... #BeyondTheGates #BTG
Having Entertainment Tonight in #BeyondTheGates universe was cool
Seth told everyone that he would be under the dirt before he left Punk sniff a world title. #bws
Clipse, Freddie Gibbs, Bennie the Butcher, and 38 Spesh all dropped projects.
Its a real bars summer.
Tomas wasn't good at sex with Kat because he wants Eva. #BeyondTheGates
The "love" triangles are the worst. #BeyondTheGates
