2031 - Mikal with a k: "Sinoquipe, Sonora, Mexico, abo…" - disabled.social
Sinoquipe, Sonora, Mexico, about 30 minutes ago. I'm with a group of Mexican and American biologists en route to a remote mountain range as part of a biological survey of the area. We got stopped by this protest. A few years ago, there was a massive retention pond spill from the giant copper mine near Cananea. It contaminated the water supply so new wells had to be drilled, but this town pump has been out of service for three weeks. Protesters say the President of the municipio (like an Ame...
2510 - Power in America is redlined alongside everything else.
White men are 30% of the population but 70% of executive positions, 62% of elected officials, 70% of all VC funding goes to white men. 80.5% of movie directors are white, 76% of all newsroom employees are white, 76.1% of newsroom editors - Access to decision making rights, decision makers, money, information, platform, and community are all levers of power. What does that tell us about power in America and how it is used? What does that tell us about state of integration and segregation in ...

My friend used to come and visit when I lived in NYC. One day he was very late (usually he was extremely punctual). When he showed up, he apologized and said, "I should have told you that I get stopped one time in ten going over the bridge." "What for?" "Driving while black." (He was a family man, drove a van with kid's toys in it, dressed neatly, had an educated accent. None of this made a difference...)

White people tweeting that last night's 4Corners was "the beginning of an important conversation" & "time for us to listen & reflect" is telling me all I need to know really. 250 yrs is an awful long time for a 'beginning' & to be 'listening' so if it made yas feel validated, ✊

It’s been interesting seeing them pivoting from ‘we consulted with WOC’ to ‘we are blocking Asians’. It really is a more blatant version of what white organizations listening looks like - when they’ve obtained the views they want, they stop.

9367 - So somewhere in my 30s I faced it. People were given opportunities that I earned. And the reason? I had to face it. Because I'm a Black woman - a Black Disabled woman.

11356 - Yehuda TurtleIsland.social: "The sickening lies told about …" - disabled.social
The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed.
Please get the truth out about our son.
He was a good man. Thank you.
