So grateful for @GabbySidibe breaking down the antifatness, colorism, shapism, etc. that so many of us experience in this world. Similarly I know I’m stunning but not by societal standards and my treatment by others has been laced with antifatness.

the twitter gays are using AI to provide the TL iconographic representation of their desires. the way that collective finds new ways to stretch the limitlessness of racial-sexual violence, eugenics, and the dismissal of the Other is kind of impressive.

throwback to when keisha blocked me. this is how keisha was engaging us as organizers in the city when we were “pushing her left” and “holding her accountable.” 😂

to be clear: this screenshot is from 2016/2017, when she was head of District 11 on the council and the ED of fulton rec authority—just before she became mayor and eventually re-introduced what we now know as Cop City. this history ain’t 6 years old, it’s at least 10.

mind you, the screenshot is from before she was mayor, when she was spearheading these same efforts as a leading city council member—under kasim reed and alongside folks like ceasar mitchell. i know people think it started in 2020, but her terror has roots.
They calling her Cop City Keisha. YIKES. I had no idea of this

it was actually under kasim’s administration (and the city council that c. mitchell led and that keisha participated in) where the thing we now know as “cop city” was born. we organized against it, and she revived it as mayor.

Black faces in high places not meaning anything. That time between 2016-2020 was brutal for a lot of these folks. I also don’t know if there’s a KLB redemption arc for the folks in Peoplestown she displaced, which is one of the main reasons I really didn’t want to vote for her

I will say, I remember being around AUC Shut it Down (group Da’Shaun was part of) when they were organizing around Jamarion Robinson and many others. I don’t think there’s a “redeeming yourself” in this instance. For many organizers, KLB was their first intro to the concept of

obviously her opponent was not a *better* choice, AND keisha displaced countless black residents in atl as council member, stood on the shoulders of her predecessor by introducing Cop City as mayor, terrorized organizers in this city, all as a way to get to DC. so… i guess…

just as she has done as a “public servant” for the majority of her career, keisha lance bottoms will perform her role in the interest of the establishment. and i hope everyone remembers that amid the negroliberal “first black…” and “governor named keisha” celebrations.
