to my friends in red states, please stay safe and watch out for each other. stay inside and avoid going out if you don’t need to. not to stir up fear in the wake of victory, but there are numerous watchdog organizations warning people — especially black and trans folks — to expect a sharp uptick in violence and tension. the naacp has issued a warning to black people in missouri to STAY INSIDE, STAY TOGETHER, STAY SAFE. check on your friends. stay informed. if you aren’t following them already, check out the naacp website and watchdog organizations to keep an eye on things in your area.
to white folks, this is a time for you to celebrate as well, but things are far from over. reach out to your poc and trans friends, particularly your black and trans friends, and check on them and make sure they feel safe. DO NOT STOP DONATING TO PAYPALS AND GOFUNDMES. CONTINUE SHARING RESOURCES AND INFORMATION. CONTINUE PARTICIPATING IN COMMUNITY AID. electing biden did not simultaneously wipe out the issues many marginalized communities are facing. YOUR PART IN THIS IS NOT OVER BECAUSE THIS FIGHT IS NOT OVER. continue spreading
to succinctly sum up the energy we need to cultivate going forward:
you can reblog this. white people can and should reblog this. likes do nothing for us.
so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
dont support industries that are driving animals to extinction thank you!

That’s Louis Rossman, a repair technician and YouTuber, who went viral recently for railing against Apple. Apple purposely charges a lot for repairs and you either have to pay up or buy a new device. That’s because Apple withholds necessary tools and information from outside repair shops. And to think, we were just so close to change.

any mention of black lives matter has disappeared off my dashboard so i thought y'all might want to know that police stormed a peaceful vigil in memory of elijah mcclain, attacking mourners with pepper spray. families were there. children were affected. this movement isnt over just because it's no longer trendy.
People are dying go vote Biden.
Okay Other people have talked about this but I’m gonna get it off my chest because why not.
So 2016, a not great election that has lead us where? here, the country is being fucked sidewise why a pandemic who’s rise is totally the fault of our shitty President, a President who likes Confederate flags and statues more than black lives. We can go on and on, but “how did it happen?”
as you can see Hillary Clinton won 3 million more votes than Trump. So what happened? the electoral college happened, Trump won 3 key states by a very small number of votes
Wisconsin: Trump won by 0.77%, write ins for “candidates” like Bernie Sanders or Harambe won 1.30% of the vote
Pennsylvania: Trump won by 0.72% write-ins won 1.06% of the vote
Michigan: Trump won by 0.23% put together write-ins and 3rd parties vote was over 5% of the vote
less than 100,000 votes in 3 states landed us in this hell, and many were people writing in jokes (Harambe) or just objections (Bernie Sanders) which brings us to:
Now it’d be bad given what we just reviewed to have any joke campaigns right now. However I suspect that this isn’t just a joke or West being his usual weirdo self, no I expect it’s a favor to Trump. Oh don’t you know? Trump and Kanye are pals
Here they are Kanye was one of the first meetings President-Elect Trump took after winning in 2016
Here’s Kanye wearing a MAGA hat with Trump in the Oval Office
don’t worry it’s a family affair:
Here’s Kanye’s Wife Kim Kardashian at a White House event between her friends First Daughter and Son-in-law Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner.
Now Kanye is saying he’s no longer in with Trump:
this is bullshit, no matter what Kanye does or doesn’t believe (and I think he’s lying) his “campaign” only helps Trump, if “Vote Kanye!” becomes a meme and people really write-in his name, particularly in key states, it came make all the difference. Don’t vote Kanye, don’t even joke about it, this is not a joke, it’s not funny, people are dying go vote Biden.
