Chisel. Chisel — First Amendment v American Fascism
[The Supreme] Court’s decision to leave the Fifth Circuit’s attack on the First Amendment in place could be temporary. As Sotomayor writes in her Mckesson opinion, when the Court announces that it will not hear a particular case it “expresses no view about the merits.” The Court could still restore the First Amendment right to protest in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas in a future case.
For the time being, however, the Fifth Circuit’s Mckesson decision remains good law in those three states. And that means that anyone who organizes a political protest within the Fifth Circuit risks catastrophic financial liability.
As a black adult do you have any advice for younger black people?
Keep your head up and focus on your people.
For our entire lives, whether to our faces or in the media we were always berated on. Always the butt of the joke, bottom of the pit. After all the fighting to get a voice, we have ended up using that voice against our own people rather then uniting and rising up together.
The ones who are praying on your downfall, are always your own people. Keep your chin up, being black in this world, is the most precious and gifted thing ever.
The eve gene, being the most diverse race, mother to all of humanity, our very bodies are connected to the earth. Look at the texture of your hair, like the leaves and roots of the earth. Africa has over 3,000 languages, traces of African American decent traces back before white colonialism.
Remember, you're one of a kind baby. Everyone can straighten up their hair and whiten their skin. But, who else can repliacte and rock dark skin and an afro?
The day we as black people, come together and stop hating on one another is the day we take back the riches that was rightfully ours.
Do your best to connect with your community, decolonise your mind, stop worshipping the white man's God. Look into your ancestors, connect with them, empathise with them, thank them. Because of their blessings and suffering you stand here today. Go back to the roots, connect with the motherland Africa. Learn to love your natural hair, your skin, your culture, your food, your language.
There's so much beauty to you, not many told me that when I was young. I want nothing but for this younger generation to thrive.
Langston Hughes' 'I Dream a World' reminds us to envision a world of equality, justice, and unity. 🌍💫 Let's strive to make this dream a reality, where every voice is heard and every heart is free.
Ryan Gainer was a 15 year old Autistic Black boy who was shot and killed by police in California.
Ryan seemed to have been having a meltdown, he was holding a gardening tool, police were called to the house but they are refusing to release any body cam footage of the shooting and refusing to state how many times Ryan was shot, they failed to help him before the paramedics arrived.
After shooting him Ryan's family was then forced out of their home while the police rummaged through their house looking for any justifiable cause for shooting Ryan.
This is hardly the first time the San Bernardino police department has attacked or killed people having a mental health crisis.
Rest in Power Ryan.
STOP CALLING THE POLICE ON DISABLED AND MENTALLY ILL PEOPLE!
If you can't show up in person, make a phone call. If you can't call, write a letter. If you can't write a letter, an email.
In order to liberate our communities from this lovecraft country's Jim & Jane Crow violence, we have to upRoot white supremacist politics and practices from the root.
