A Black woman was killed by the police
She'd be alive if the police didn't exist!
News that made me say abolish the police…again
Sonya Massey, a Black woman, was shot in the face by a white police officer for being Black and mentally ill. My heart hurts for Sonya and her family. I’m angry for every single Black person who read that news and was once again reminded that their lives don’t matter in the eyes of the state. There is no amount of Kamla for president signs that will change the fact that this country is based on the lie that Black lives don’t matter. Just like there is no amount of witchcraft that can turn Donald Trump into a good person. Witches are strong people but Donald Trump is too evil for their magic.
Donald Trump and Sean Grayson, the cop who killed Sonya, are the products of a white supremacist country and the only way to stop a company from making more faulty products is to shut it down. Not elect a “nicer” She-EO. It’s so hilarious to me that corporate “feminists” thought rebranding women CEOs into She-EOs would somehow make oppression seem nicer. The catch phrase for She-EO should be “oppression with a woman’s touch”.
You can’t fool me. Just because you add “she” in front of something doesn’t automatically make it better. Unless you place “she” in front of “revolts” spelling out “she revolts”. I can get on board with”she revolts” if it means actually revolting and not wearing a “feminism is my second favorite F word” shirt. Yes, this shirt exists and someone got it for me for Christmas because they hate me.
We should all stop falling for the lies spun to convince us that if we only had nicer autocrats who looked like us our lives would be better. Kamala Harris running for president is just America’s attempt to rebrand itself as a Black-woman-friendly country. It’s just like when Mark Zuckerberg changed Facebook’s name to Meta. You can call it Meta but all the traits of Facebook remain the same. Meta is still a racist misogynistic platform run by an evil robot pretending to be a human. Or is it an evil human pretending to be a robot? It doesn’t matter.
My point is Kamala being crowned as next corporate puppet of the United Corporations of America will not stop the police from murdering Black people. Kamala is part of the establishment that doesn’t believe Black people matter. Which is why they picked her. No one who thinks Black people matter would ever be a prosecutor in an injustice system that was created to oppress Black people. Whoever thinks that probably still believes that marijuana is a gateway drug instead of a tool for happiness.
So no, voting for Kamala Harris will not save us. It will hurt Donald Trump’s feelings but that’s never been a good enough reason to do anything. Abolishing the police is the only way to save us and keep us safe from Donald Trump. Who do you think Donald Trump is going to call to come after you for not liking his tweets?
