You know, sometimes it seems like academia is a business meant to keep knowledge FROM people. . .and to use scholars as transactional tools, enriching their institutions through the intellectual properties of those scholars. . .
Thanking you!🌸
ALRIGHT!! Now on my list!!!
GOAL FOR THE DAY: To Have a Humble Spirit . . .
“Create in me a clean heart, O God..
renew a steadfast spirit within me.”
~ Psalm 51:10 NKJ
“..we shall be more blessed, if we walk with God in a humble spirit of..
faith..a full surrender to the Supreme Being.”
~ Lailah Gifty Akita
This is why I say THEY ARE NOT the root of the problem; they are THE OUTCOME.
Cause it is the voters — the majority of those voting FOR them who are white — who continue to put them in office, again & again, KNOWING how & what they are.
Here is more info abt her.
I had not previously heard of her, so I am very appreciative of ths post, as well as @dytsras.bsky.social highlighting the racial atrocity of #MemphisMassacre.
This country has NEVER been “the good guy.”

Because they support white supremacist ideology.😶
As Black people have been pointing out since forever, while white people have countered & dismissed with “..but, we’ve made so much PROGRESS as a country. Stop living in the past.”😶
And here we are.
Happy Harriet Tubman Day to all those who celebrate.
“..Black history teaches us a profound lesson abt faith..theology..blesses
oppression or challenges it..protects the powerful or stands w/ the vulnerable. Black Christians..
reclaimed the gospel as a message of liberation..they left us w/ a lesson..
God is on the side of justice.”

“The people at the bottom of the hierarchy see the cracks in the foundation first.”💯
THAT IS A WHOLE BOOK😶.
THAT is why we always say LISTEN TO BLACK VOICES: we have a 400+ year vantage point different than every other racial group in the U.S.

I hope that one day the country is ready for THAT convo.
I won’t hold my breath, tho, cause already they are trying to rewrite the script to make white voters the clueless “victims” who were brainwashed into white supremacist ideology instead of ppl with agency WHO. CHOSE. THIS.🤷🏽♀️
EXACTLY THIS👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽.
Your religion &/or spirituality — or lack of religion &/or spirituality — guides YOU, NOT EVERYONE ELSE.
YOUR CHOICE SHOULD NOT BE A BLANKET MANDATE FOR EVERYONE ELSE.

True
But what does tht say abt voters who put him in office—disproportionately & maj white?
He/his sycophants are a mirror in which U.S. voters can see thmslvs, cause they traded democracy, decency, humanity for a return to white racial hierarchy
The country does not want to have THAT convo tho😶
There are plenty of YOUNG white men— & young white women —who continue to vote FOR these “old white men”
But many white ppl so want to narrow the scope to opt thmslvs out, & to frame it as a “white ppl were duped” rather than “many white ppl still have an unhealthy attachment to racial hierarchy”😶
Schlossberg: If this becomes the new normal and the president is able to trademark America’s birthday and issue his own currency while weakening the dollar, having gold skyrocket, and increasing prices on every commodity and input cost in our economy, we’re getting screwed and he’s getting rich.
Eric Trump and Donald Trump, Jr. are acquiring a drone company that is seeking to meet Pentagon demand after Trump banned the use of Chinese drones.
We’re barely a week into Trump’s war and already his family has found a way to cash in.
Everything is for sale.
“The WSJ report continued: President Trump has told aides he would back the killing of new Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei if he proves unwilling to cede to U.S. demands..”

This is who the majority of white voters who voted, voted FOR.
KNOWING who he was & is.
No other majority of any other racial group of voters did.😶
Cause we knew, too.😶
“Munitions experts say the missile shown in the video is clearly a Tomahawk, which is only used by the US in the current conflict.”
No question about it, according to experts, the U.S. was responsible for killing those schoolchildren.

Sending you comfort.🌸
An illegal war by USA & Israel, propped up by missions from UK air bases.
Supported by Nigel Farage.
Over 1000 civilians dead & now the threat of global economic fallout. Trump's disaster makes us all less safe, less secure - and we will remember those who backed it.
The flower within the flower looks like it was made from sugar crystals❤️:
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
-- Theodore Roosevelt, 1918
Not the 1st time he has made Islamophobic comments😶
Trump endorsed him
White voters keep him & his bigoted views in office & in U.S. policies
Ppl like them being in office are OUTCOMES
THE ROOT is primarily white voters for whom bigotry IS NOT a dealbreaker😶

“..to what democracy..are we trying to return? One built on settler colonialism, slavery, & the genocidal dispossession of Indigenous nations that continued –as explicit policy–well into the 20th century? One that excluded..Black citizens until the 1960s, & trans ppl..still today?”
