Y'all, due to personal stuff, I went through the work day in a fog, not really registering things. FOUR work colleagues are out sick. Please beef up your covid vigilance if you haven't already, please. Masks in all indoor (and some outdoor) settings.

@hotgirlhala There genuinely seems to be a subset of white men who are only interested in violence and they feel being part of a protest will give their violent outbursts a gloss of legitimacy and righteousness. They're a danger and menace.

I am finding videos of entitled white people destroying food with impunity and I genuinely find it triggering. I don't use that word lightly. My parents grew up in a time & place where milk was unavailable. They got no milk at home as babies.

@GoddessCru I'm increasingly seeing elderly people at grocery checkouts, waiting tables, and at other minimum wage jobs. It's equally heart breaking and terrifying, because I know that'll probably be my future.

@FeministHellcat @emrazz Exactly how they've been winning till now. By the votes of racist, homophobic, transphobic, misogynistic, white supremacist people. The whole," people don't know how bad they are" trope is wrong. People do know and that still vote for them.
