A thread of petitions to sign to help immigrants in ICE detention centers⬇️

@JessIsAWeirdo @kaykay “you can scream during an orgasm between my sheets but your silence is deafening out in these protesting streets” “when you close your eyes and see my head between your thighs, do you see 400 years of oppression” and the very last line that won’t fit here 🙏🏽 you were amazing

@sierradeaton @kaykay WAIT what was y’all favorite lines tho? 👀

I’ve been getting a lot of questions from my non-Black friends about how to be a better ally to Black people. I suggest unlearning and relearning through literature as just one good jumping off point, and have broken up my anti-racist reading list into sections:

George Floyd and I were both arrested for allegedly spending a counterfeit $20 bill. For George Floyd, a man my age, with two kids, it was a death sentence. For me, it is a story I sometimes tell at parties. That, my friends, is White privilege.

here’s a thread of black small businesses that were destroyed that you can donate to to help rebuild:

Thread for bail funds in various cities:

MY DAD IS LISTENING TO A POLICE SCANNER FOR L.A. AND THE COPS ARE TRYING TO GET THE PROTESTERS TO GO A CERTAIN WAY WHERE THEY HAVE JAIL BUSES AND ARE READY TO ARREST PEOPLE PLEASE SPREAD THIS

also passed a very young girl yelling out of the window of her apartment “what’s going on?” and i didn’t even know what to say. like fuck. just want the world to be a better place for kids to grow up in. no matter what they look like.

i don’t really know where i’m going with these tweets but it just felt important to let people know these protests aren’t just madness from the start and “thugs” trying to destroy everything. there were kids next to us.

just think it’s important people know how peaceful and organized the protest in LA today was. for HOURS. EVERYONE (that i encountered) was kind. mindful. considerate. handing out free food and water. making sure those around them were okay.

nothing broke me more than this.. #BlackLivesMatter

blm everyday. not just today. not just when there is a “trend” and if you think otherwise fuck you.
