Our country has no leader. Last night in the face of protests against police brutality, our reality show president hid in a bunker rather than show any real leadership. Donald Trump is a coward #blacklivesmatter #blm #georgefloyd #americahasnopresident #abolishthepolice

And it shall be televised!! If your not involved in this movement,then you are on the wrong side of history,& you’re part of the problem. Minorities are tired of being slaughtered like phucking animals & everyone else is tired of sitting back & watching it happen. This is an Uprising & if there is #NoJustice there will be #NoPeace 🗣 You dirty 🐷’s & your Bunker Boy president are a bunch of Cowards! Everyone Be Safe,Keep Protesting,& let’s get #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd 🕯🌹

There is a man with a knife to my throat. He's terrorized me, followed me, isolated me, stabbed me before, and I've barely survived. I have asked him to stop, begged him, pleaded, said anything and everything he could want to hear, but there is still a man with a knife to my throat. I've seen him terrorize strangers, loved ones, mirror images of me. I still have the wounds from trying to help them, I can still see them littered along the road you walked up to get to this point. You stepped over their blood, skirted their corpses, are standing there watching this. You are telling me that it makes you uncomfortable that I'm not calm, rational, agreeable. You are telling me that there is no knife. You are telling me that my resistance is the same as his violence.  There is a man with a knife to my throat. My hands are empty, wet with the blood of others he has hurt, holding my wounded body together, bent into claws of resistance. When I fight, when I bite and kick and scream, I will not be the same as him. If I get the knife and stab him, I will not be the same as him. There is a man. He has a knife to my throat. And you are doing nothing. -///- privilege. grey.b

In regards to the recent protests in the US, I understand why people are upset about them. People are causing all kinds of damage and breaking the law, people are getting hurt. On the other hand, I also understand why it’s happening. People are fucking done. Everyone is done with the prejudices of just about everyone who holds some position of power. People are done with the notion that everything is okay except for anything that has to do with the opposing political party constantly being shoved down our throats. If this was the first time this happened, I could see how this would be considered an over reaction, but it’s not. This has happened over and over again. The cry’s for justice going unheard. Peaceful protesting is not working. Although I do not condone violence I absolutely understand the mindset of ‘If they don’t care, Make Them’

Silence doesn't equate to an acceptance of the status quo.

Some of the most violent revolutions can play out in the mind.

Just because the volcano is dormant, it doesn't mean nothing is happening beneath the surface.

This . . . is why there is an uprising

Reposted from @blackrose_rosanegra Black anarchist thought spans centuries, continents, and moments. We’re always dismayed that in moments like these, the word “anarchist” is somehow synonimized with “white”. This acts to obscure the incredibly influential contributions that black anarchists have made and continue to make to our movement. In an effort to better inform all of us of this history, we want to suggest that you check out our Black Anarchism Reader. It’s a numerous collection of texts, both contemporary and historical.
