I am aware that Chauvin was found guilty.
I am also aware that Mr. Floyd's death has been spoken of as a "sacrifice," as Speaker Pelosi put it, for justice. A "sacrifice" for justice in this blood-soaked nation-state.
I'm aware of the intent behind that statement; I also do not care, because that? The history in those words right there? Is why liberation work matters.
Because goddamn it, how many living, breathing, Black people have been reduced to "black bodies" and black numbers on spreadsheets and reports, sacrificed to avoid companies and family bank accounts going into the red
How many living, breathing, Black people have been used to keep the this country held upright, their blood made grease for the wheels of iniquity upon which this fucking country runs
How many living, breathing, Black people have been used as sacrifices, occasionally literally, to white supremacy and white fragility and the bottomless black hole that is consumer culture in a white supremacist nation-state
You call George Floyd a human sacrifice to avoid looking at the deferred payments people in power have made on justice
You call George Floyd a human sacrifice, and content yourselves with this, because this country could not afford the cost of justice should it be exacted all at once
Girl, fuck you
now that george floyd’s murderer is behind bars, let’s help support the people who helped with the guilty verdict as well as george’s family. the fight is hardly over.
darnella’s fund - darnella was the young woman who filmed george’s last moments.
gianna’s fund - george’s daughter who has now been left without a father.
For vision-impaired: here's a link to the 5-Tweet thread above by Claire Willett, Apr 20. 2021.
Context: George Floyd's murderer is convicted on 3 counts. Afterwards, Nancy Pelosi makes a distraction of herself with offensively tone-deaf white-a-cism while expressing support for verdict.

The correct spelling of her name is Ma’khia Bryant. She was 16.
MPD pivoted to throw Chauvin under the bus during this trial. This was a strategic decision on their part to quell demands to disband the Minneapolis Police. Going forward, there will be a narrative being pushed that protestors “won” and this is all over, that MPD will turn a new leaf. They won’t. We already decided the MPD should be gone. Don’t let them use this as a distraction.
CPD just killed a fifteen year old child.
a fifteen year old black girl was shot four times in the chest by columbus police in columbus, ohio.
as derek chauvin was found guilty, a black child lost her life to police.
we still don’t know her name, but we’ll scream it the minute we do.
“well that can’t be worse”
except it is.
except this child got jumped by the other girls present. she was afraid for her life enough to grab a knife and call the cops herself.
let me repeat that.
the black child that they killed was so afraid she called the cops herself.
they killed the very person who asked for their help.
and before you flip over the knife, they didn’t even ask her to disarm. they got out and immediately opened fire on her and shot her four times with deadly intent.
her name is ma’khia bryant.
i’m such a small blog but i’m begging y’all to spread this story. i can’t speak directly to this- no matter how hurt and angry and thrown by all of this i am, my voice isn’t the one that matters. i recognize that. but i’m still begging for this to not be overlooked. say her name, remember her- remember that this fight never ended, and keep fighting it.
derek chauvin being found guilty is a victory, but we can’t let that blind us to the fact that this has kept happening and never actually stopped. even if the protests went quiet, that doesn’t mean things changed. we have to hold them accountable and we have to remember those who have died and will continue to die beneath the shadow of everything else that’s happened this year.
my heart is going out to her family.
rest in peace, ma’khia.
official gofundme link for george floyd’s daughter btw. april 20th 2021 it still hasnt reached its goal
DEREK CHAUVIN WAS FOUND GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS.

[id: a tweet by @ACLU (header name "ACLU [verified checkmark]") that reads:
"BREAKING: Derek Chauvin has been convicted of the murder of George Floyd.
For the first time in Minnesota state history, a white police officer has been held accountable for killing a Black man." end id]
Friendly reminder that LGBTQ+, Queer, and LGBT+ are the preferred terms for the community (x).
Friendly reminder that Queer is approved by 72.9% of the people, and the groups who don’t prefer it’s use as an umbrella term are straight people, exclusionists, transmeds, truscums, sex-negative people, and sex work critical people (x).
Friendly reminder that aros and aces are excluded only 9.2% / 8.1% of the time respectively while being included 78.9% / 81.2% of the time (x)
Friendly reminder that exclusionists are in the minority and aro/ace people are included in the LGBTQ+ community by the people within the community.

Also, i checked out the survey the second claim sources a while back: this is not OP choosing the words truscum, exclusionist, etc. These are labels that the survey gave people the option to self-identify as. It’s self-proclaimed exclusionists who dont like the word queer, not random accusations

yeah that’s super important.
This one gets reblogged on main. The reclassification of ‘queer’ as an inexcusable slur is a recent development which stems in part from exclusionist rhetoric. We reclaimed it decades ago. Learn our history. You are not immune to TERF propaganda, but you can absolutely choose to educate yourself to spite it.
Be kind. 💜

We’re queer, we’re here…
go fuck yourself :D
THE UNIVERSE SAID TRANS RIGHTS!! 🗣🗣
the trans flag except the colors were directly picked off this photo of jupiter!

Well this is horrifying.
I can't imagine what goes through the mind of someone creating this sort of "PR"...
It's not mentioned in the vid but she was also the 15-year-old daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador to the US, and Amnesty International "corroborated" the story until the truth came out
I thought this was my hometown for a second
“”Up to no good “” = breaking arbitrary rules that they set in place

A warning to all of my followers there no such a thing as @exposingthoselosers I just thought any form of information is good and can protect my followers from getting their phone or any other devices hacked if you’re connect to the wifi they might hack all of the devices connected.
DO NOT FUCKING CLICK ON ANU LINK YOU GET NOT EVEN FROM UR FRIENDS ON TUMBLR BECAUSE THEY COULD GET HACKED 👀
Pls share this awareness ⚠
Also blogs get hacked or something and send these without the blog owner’s consent. I got this message and then afterwards the person who sent it to me said they didn’t send that.
got a message from a mutual today similar to this and they later messaged me to say it wasn’t them so yeah be careful
Basically if you get this message, don’t click on it, instead tell the person that you received that message. That way they know that they were hacked.
If I ever send you any message, especially if it has a link, message me back about the message before you click on the link. I will understand because things like this^^ can happen.

I’ve checked with the person running the account and it was a virus. Sooo… Be careful
I just got a message like this and thought it sounded familiar. Be careful everyone!
Yeah hey followers I do NOT go around randomly sending links, so if you get something like this from me, let me know because I did NOT send it.
This sounds so similar to this other thing when people send you a link to a cursed eurovision fanfic but it turns out to be a virus.
