Just finished Judas and the Black Messiah. I am white and it sounds so unbelievably privileged to talk about how fucking mad this shit makes me. This was not that long ago and it’s still happening today. Shooting without questioning without knocking, without anything. The police talk about them being slain and it’s treated like a horrible injustice. But when unarmed people continue to be gunned down it’s their fault. Their choices.

The FBI used Bill. He committed suicide the night the PBS special aired. His hand was forced. Hey he deserved it right? Because he stole cars from his own communities. No one saw his suicide as an injustice. No one seems to think these unarmed civilians deaths are unjust.

6 out of 9 Supreme Court justices (remember it’s been 95% white males) want more guns on the street. Because the “god given right to bear arms”. Right, I forgot the slave owners, 246 years ago, knew all about the possibilities of guns killing multiple people in minutes, seconds even. Right. But killing a fetus? Roe v. Wade will be overturned. Kansas “pro white baby lifers” will win the August 2nd vote and the constitution will be changed here.

There are over 600,000 abortions a year. You want 600,000 more people annually in an already overpopulated (disproportionately) country? We know what actually reduces abortion but refuse to fund that because it’s socialism.

we are fine with 5 kids dying of abuse and neglect daily, 1/5 kids living in poverty, millions homeless, 7 kids dying daily from guns and that’s based on when 38,000 people died annually. Now it’s 45,000 annually. Over 360 people get shot a day and over 100 die a day. So the trauma and loss and depression lives on for over 260 maimed people lives, families, communities. Kids have bullet wounds and have to go back to school despite watching their young peers being gunned down. Kids talking about playing dead, even covering themselves in blood to try and save their own lives.

So now a fetus is a person, more guns on the streets, skyrocketing gun suicides in 13-17 year olds, rampant poverty and homelessness continues to ravage communities.

The wealthy receive billions in unneeded handouts because they don’t share with the actual working people. Billionaires can just buy entire social communities and run it. Maybe a billionaire will buy the American healthcare system and actually do some good.

Universal healthcare is socialism. I’m in a country that says “god, guns, “pro-life” give me a fucking break. The big lie that the USA gives a shit about children and life that isn’t white, rich and powerful. Power can be small like white privileged neighbors, rich includes resources, connections, assets, it’s not just cash. They control everything, they get job connections, political connections, percentages of Ivy leave admissions, goes on and on.

Then they claim the constitution! A document they’ve never read. They only allow changes if it meets their needs like fetuses lives. FUXK the breathing children. Especially if they aren’t white. Then for real, fuck them.

I am so sickened by our priorities. I can’t even stand it. How can you not be sickened? How is it possible? How can we be this hypocritical? This racist? This bigoted? This out of fucking touch. No compassion. We are not all born equal and I can prove it. It’s not hard at all.

I am plagued by this rage daily and I don’t know how to healthily express it. I’ve tried and failed various avenues. Fuck. So out of touch.
