I haven’t been on this app in a while, but I know a Black man, Keith Porter, was murdered by ICE on New Year’s Eve (Rest in Power) in Cali. Just one of the countless Black people who’ve been murdered by ICE and other agents of the state.
I log back into this app and see the conversations around the white woman, Renee Good, who was just recently killed. And I can’t help but notice the stark difference in circulation of news and boosting of stories between both of them across this app…
Shit has BEEN happening to Black people across administrations and is currently happening to Black people under this administration, and is met by crickets. Yet when it starts touching white people, I see real anger start being felt from the gen pop followed by amplification and co-opting of Black terms and memorialization… I stg it takes everything in me to give af about yall.
**Edited: linking a gfm for Keith
***update: the gfm is unavailable. Will post an updated link as soon as I have one (removing the link until then for less confusion)
*** updated gfm link verified by Keith Porter Jr’s grandfather

ALTJust like Keith Porter’s family lost someone precious and people helped them, I want to tell you about my little sister Ronza in Gaza. She suffers from severe malnutrition and serious health problems. Her body is weak, and her life is in danger if she doesn’t get urgent medical care now.
Every donation, no matter how small, can make a real difference in her life. We need your help to provide her with treatment, food, and care.
As the world helped Keith and his family, today we ask you to help Ronza and give her a chance to survive.

evil rant incoming:
i just greatly despise white queers as a whole they are so fucking selfish, racist, annoying, and don’t care about anyone that doesn’t match their features or skintone or any race they can’t fetishize to a dehumanizing extent.
I genuinely fucking wish you crackers would stop being selfish. this isn’t me wanting white genocide I just want white queer people to stop using black and brown people as props and tools while just treating us like lesser people and not caring because we don’t match your aesthetics. fuck you. if this rant makes you uncomfortable you can always unfollow lol
i think it’s important for white queers to hear this and understand that these words shouldn’t be said if you actually cared about making your spaces about equality or acceptance.

This is Gaza, where not a single house remains standing. We are without shelter, without food, without water. We are dying. We are being bombed every day. We are being shot at in the middle of Gaza City. Where is the ceasefire agreement? Where is the humanity? They are shooting at and targeting people who go to get some firewood for their families to cook. We are truly oppressed.
For two years, we have been suffering from illness, murder, war, loss, we have been suffering, and we are still suffering yesterday, the rains were very heavy and the storms are strong. Please donate to us and share this post Please donate, donate, don’t ignore.
In recent days, the bombing has doubled from previous days. The bombing is very difficult. There have been many martyrs in recent days. Also, guys, my father’s health condition is very difficult. He’s suffering from high blood pressure and a serious cancerous tumor inside the bladder. And the tumor is from the malignant sample, which is rapidly spreading. Please donate and share this post
Please help my friend Ibrahim. He’s only a kid, and doesn’t deserve to be in this situation. He’s been talking with me for months and he’s currently pretty sick.
Please, I don’t want my tiredness to go to waste. I just want you to donate what you can because I really need your help, please share this post, add a comment and donate if we can.

ALTThis is not a figment of the imagination…this is a picture of a reality unfolding now, behind walls, far from cameras and the spotlight. Thousands of Palestinian prisoners languish in jails, many without trial: children, doctors, students, parents…their bodies shackled, their pain unheard. They are not asking for the impossible. They are asking the world to know that they are human beings…and that their lives matter.
