        Riots by enslaved people = righteous anger; Ida B. Wells = righteous anger; Dr. King = righteous anger. Righteous anger is what got us here. It’s working just fine. https://twitter.com/observeruk/status/1284745169640673280?s=21 …https://twitter.com/ObserverUK/status/1284745169640673280 …

        Re: righteous anger: I have been assessing my work over the last few years, re-reading my older articles, and my main problem with it is that it actually wasn’t angry enough. Not even close.

        Oh course it is. She doesn’t even seem to be saying “anger has to be backed up with action” she’s just saying the anger itself is wrong and that’s bollocks. It’s a rubbish take, cowardly appeasement.

        Particularly don’t like the idea that equal rights shouldn’t be framed as equal rights in case it scares the bigots, but should be sold to the bigots as something that chimes with things that they value.

        Threads are good because you can just drop them off and go. If you have the energy, go for it.
