This is a time of crumbling lies & emerging truths.

The sleekest propaganda in the world can’t hold the lie of “white civilization” together.

It’s charlos sharing some truths about living with long COVID at the #KeepMasksInHealthcare Senior and Disability Action (SDA) action in front of SFDPH because on 4/30 they plan to drop requirement for personnel to wear masks in healthcare settings

People who never interrogated the construct of “white” identity before are wholly unprepared for this moment in world history or even how to discuss it.

Needs aren't special

As long as people are more concerned with decorum than liberation, we will never be free

Is this the “right-sized” little war #GenocideJoe was risking to save his chances at reelection? 👀

5/ There are MORE of us who have been oppressed by imperialism that seeks to isolate & exhaust us to prevent us from recognizing our power.

There are MORE of us who reject white supremacy & violent domination.

There are MORE of us who dream of more than forever wars & genocide.
