The thing is, “Defund the police” WAS the compromise. That’s what we started saying so that “Abolish the Police” and “Abolish ICE” didnt look so scary and radical to liberals and centrists and anyone that may ID as a Leftist but still hasnt really gotten around to connecting the dots that these institutions monopolize violence for the state. Ya’ll had niggas like me saying that we needed to get rid of the police and make a whole new thing from the ground up, then ya’ll pulled us aside and “kindly explained” that this was an election year and we had to get Trump out and while you sympathized with what we were saying, the white suburban liberals wouldn’t.

So the language became “Defund the Police” with very clear explanations of what that would mean and how that would look. And we were, for the most part, cool. Cuz I know realistically any steps to abolish the police would have to start with defunding them. I didnt LOVE it, but I tolerated it for now.

And as expected, now the discourse is “Defund the police is too extreme and people dont know what it means. We should instead say ‘Invest in Community Safety.’”

No. Fuck you. Defund WAS the compromise. We already simplified Leftist arguments for white liberals. You just decided that now that the election’s over and Trump is on his way out, all this talk of no police and no prisons and no deportations sounds even crazier. You got your return to normal so now fuck all the people you used to guilt trip others into voting for Biden.

Your choices are Abolish or Defund. No investing in shit. No smoke and mirrors goalpost shifting so you can act like everyone is getting what they want. Invest rhetoric leaves too much room for more police. Defund or Abolish or stop pretending that you want to work with Leftists, you clearly don’t.

And the fact that we even had to do this proves that white liberals will still put themselves before us. We knew there was an election. We weren’t stupid. We said what we said but sadly we need as many ppl as we could get so yes, Defund the police was the compromise.

a fun fact about teenagers who go through neo-nazi phases is that jewish children and children of color are unavoidably subjected to them in school and other environments, and the harm that they experience as a result is not negligible even if their neo-nazi peers eventually change their minds

and i knew that mia goth was his ex but i had no idea he threatened to kill her oh my GODDD what a fucking piece of SHITTT

i’ve watched fka twigs deal w harassment since i was 13 and most ppl knew her as robert pattinson’s gf. like i remember scrolling thru her ig comments in 2014/15 and crying bc it’d be either twilight fans calling her slurs or religious zealots calling her demonic. like she had to deal w that for YEARS. so to hear that on top of all that she’s had to deal w domestic abuse from shia really just infuriates me. my hearts breaks for her

I have COVID,

BUT I WANT TO GO HOME AFTER I AM BETTER. PLEASE HELP ME.

I knew it, there was a gut feeling I had when I was tested last week. That gut feeling you get when you know there is nothing but dread ahead. And now here it is. Thank you for your support on getting me tested. For reblogging, I appreciate it so much 😭

But now I would need to rally again because I want to go back to the US. I want to be with people who understands me better. Because even if I really want to finish college here, I think it will be downhill from here. I will not care so much if I will be homeless over the holidays as long as I am in my own soil. Because I am alone and lonely here in the philippines. Because I am scared of dying alone amongts people who don’t know me or accept me, yes, I am a black, bisexual woman. And it is not very common here so it could be why I am not getting enough respect or civility here. Please help me go home. I know plane tickets are expensive, from the last time I checked, from Cebu, it is at about $1400 but I will bury my shame and ask again for help. I don’t have a solid plan of where I will stay but I am asking some people already of what I can do when I get there. I will not stay in anyone’s home, it will be risky for them and I understand that. I will find a way. Thank you for the offers. Now I just really need to get over this virus and then go back home.

It’ll be all I want for Christmas.

PLEASE HELP ME GO HOME.

For the first time in almost a month of quarantine, I was able to go out today. It gave me a new sense of determination. I will go home and I will make something out of myself. One day, when I am back, I will be a great contribution to society. No more suicidal thoughts, no more getting hung up on people giving me hate. Yes, I am here begging for help, yes, i have swallowed my pride, yes, i dont have a 100% laid out plan of how I go about looking for a home in Houston. But I will go home. Thank you everyone for all your help. You are appreciated more than you’ll ever know. Thank you, y'all stay safe and healthy.❤
