They were dropped from #UnitedArtists agency, after Glastonbury. The same #TalentAgency that had quickly dropped Susan Sarandon, after she started speaking out strongly against genocide of Palestinians.
Let's all remember why they want the #bipoc and #lgbtqia minorities to go back into hiding.
When they have to hide, we (the white cishets) see nothing but ourselves reflected back at us. That creates the environment where we begin to believe that they don't really exist, except in fringe media and underground society.
If they can separate (isolate) the minorities from the rest of society, it's easier for them to hurt those minorities with impunity.

I've said this every 6 months or so, but it's worth repeating:
The US is a colonial, imperial, capitalist country, run by rich white men since day 1. Yeah they throw out crumbs and do some performative shit here and there, but it's never going to fundamentally change.

Def vote and participate for damage control. But don't keep your mouth shut for the good of the system, party, candidate or whatever and don't have hope for the system.
Don't wait until you're my age and have seen 10+ presidential cycles to know you've been conned...

You can't protest this shit away. You can't vote this shit away. You can't nominate judges this shit away. You can't legislate this shit away.
The US system has been shit from day one and it will always be shit. Colonialism will march on and on. It needs to go bye-bye.

White progressive/liberal influencers can be very critical of people criticizing the US system, including the Democratic Party. As any #BIPOC person knows (except highly assimilated) the US system totally sucks; it needs to be thrown out.
These influencers just can't see through their whiteness/colonialism. Even after all these years and a supposedly advanced perspective, they just don't get it.
The system may begin to crawl out of the hole, but always crawls back in.

Someday I hope all the people trying to fix the US government, its politics, etc. realize the USA was burning garbage from the get go, always was and always will be. You can't fix it.

Last but not least, a special #FourthOfJuly acknowledgement. We have many #AfroIndigenous relatives, we have not lived the culture. But we would literally not exist if it were not for our #African ancestors & we are extremely grateful for their existence & what they went through for us. All their descendants are also survivors with no reason to celebrate except for their survival against all odds. #FuckTheUSA

Every day I watch supposedly progressive people concern themselves with the wrongs upon their lives and even other continents while doing nothing to support #Reparations for the #Native #Indigenous #BIPOC #FormerlyEnslaved peoples on the stolen lands and lives they benefit from.
For those that do support our businesses & #IndigenousMutualAid; For those that understand the great harms inflicted upon us & the need for reparations; For those that do something about it I thank you.

Q: What do all 3 main #political parties in #BritishColumbia have in common?
A: All 3 love to exploit & #tokenize #BIPOC people. All 3 love BIPOC folks with #InternalizedRacism & OK #SellingOut for a public office power position.
On June 28, 1969, police raided the #StonewallInn, a New York City bar that welcomed the most marginalized members of the fledgling queer "community": young, poor, and #BIPOC #LGBTQ+ people.
Fed up with being on the receiving end of state violence, drag performers, trans and gender nonconforming people, homeless youth, and queer people of color fought back.
The scuffle became a weeklong riot and marked a pivotal turning point in the movement for LGBTQ+ rights in the United States.

At a friend's now, to work on edits on some nonprofit grant applications. We are enjoying her homemade #Mexican #chicken #pozole #soup as we get the final edits done today.
We have a meeting in her backyard at 6pm with a few other #BIPOC #grassroots community builders to share/discuss & get some balls rolling on a few Fall/Winter #community events & workshops.
