#Reminder: It's good to aim for #digitalIndependence and #digitalSovereignty for people in the #EU. But all humankind must have the same rights.
Arguing that e.g. Threema (CH, DE) were better than Signal (US) in this respect is therefore slightly misleading. It only replaces one #privileged area of our planet with a different one.
Only free and federated messengers provide equal rights to all regarding #instantMessaging.
Somebody forgot to tell the #trolls that #white #male #privilege doesn't operate here. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️😹😹😹👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

Wake up y’all. For those of you trying to sit this fight out...you are grossly mistaken if you think it has nothing to do with you because you don’t speak Spanish or Creole or Patois. It is about everyone who is Latino and everyone who is brown and everyone who is BLACK like you. Resting on privilege is like drinking poison and hoping the warnings on the box won’t affect you. Join the fight. 9/9

This is about privilege. She was embarrassed that there was an immigration violation against her husband of 25 years who is now 78 years old. She didn’t want to tell anyone (including her sister who is a lawyer!!!) that they had gotten an order of deportation months ago. How could that happen to people like them, who owned houses and big cars? She notified us the day the judge in the court turned him over to ICE 8/9

The family got the news last Tuesday with a one sentence post in the family Signal chat from my sister. “I guess I can tell you now, ICE has [her husband’s name]. Everyone posts WTAF??? and the phones all start ringing. Immediately I start posting resources for her, my brother starts to get his state department creds out….but my sister goes silent. 7/9

Many Black people think the immigration problem and ICE have nothing to do with us. But, that couldn’t be further from the truth. We all have neighbors or friends who are Jamaican, Trinidadian, Haitian, Senegalese or Malian. I mean that’s all of NYC right? Some are from Bermuda, Panama or the Bahamas. Like my brother-in-law...who is now in ICE custody, in a facility near the NY border, waiting to be deported. 6/9

Since 2016 I’ve been telling my family how important it was for everyone to have their papers in order. Repeatedly, I heard “We’re not Latino, we don’t have to worry about that.” I told them...but….you are BLACK. I heard the same thing when I was talking to some Black folks in Texas on a layover recently. A brother told me he was coming to DC. I said have your ID ready. He says “I’m not Hispanic.” I said “But you are BLACK.” 5/9

In my family, all of my siblings with the exception of one who has mental health issues, are educated, some with multiple degrees. We all were professionals or are still working as professionals. We are still BLACK, but we’ve done well for Black folks here. We are originally from NYC and have always lived among, married, and hung out with black and brown folks from everywhere, the islands, Africa, and Central America. 4/9

The example he often uses is the privilege of not being handicapped. I’ve heard him mention the privilege of being male, etc. And even though we as Black people don’t often have many privileges, we do have some. In the United States, for example, many of us can at least code switch and speak American English. This is a thread about my brother-in-law being turned over to ICE. 3/9

There’s a former Black NBA player, from the UK named John Amaechi. He’s a psychologist and a consultant on management stuff. He also has those letters OBE, which means something to British people. Its OK...I really do know what the letters mean. He used to have a 3 minute clip on BBC Bites that explained privilege. He defines it as the absence of impediment and says we all have some privilege some of the time. 2/9

I envy people who can pull their thoughts together as soon as something happens. I have never been able to do that. I have to sit with the words swirling around me till I can pick the right ones. I want to talk to the Black and Brown family on Mastodon about privilege and how privilege is contextual. Sometimes you have it, sometimes you don’t. This is a thread about my brother-in-law being turned over to ICE. 1/9

It shows even in the redacting. They left the names of victims and blocked names of the white male perpetrators.

On that temple floor, I saw my spiritual tourism clearly.
I'd flown searching for meaning. Families weren't searching, they maintained community through daily work.
Have you recognized privilege in your own spiritual seeking?

The chronically online will become a new underclass. Says (ya girl) DJ Magic. Funny, I remember when most people weren't online, everyone was rushing to get online, and there were worries everywhere of lower class people not being able to get online and getting left behind. Now, we may have reached a point where that goes into reverse.

Léman :
Petit garçon né blanc
Avantage à la naissance
Rien fait de spécial pour ça
J' ai pas de mode d'emploi
Juste né là où il faut
Dans l'hémisphère d'en haut
Celui qui mange celui du bas
Pour en devenir toujours plus gras.....
Petit garçon
