On Dr. Davis, Domestic Terrorism, Misogynoir, and Wondering Where The Energy Went

TW: Mentions of murder, domestic terrorism, anti-Blackness, misogynoir, racism, xenophobia.

Dr. Linda Davis, a special education teacher in her first year at Herman W. Hesse K-8 School in Chatham County in Savannah, Georgia, was killed Monday morning on her commute to school by a person fleeing ICE agents in a high-speed chase. The Chatham County Police Department wasn’t part of—or aware of—the federal “immigration operation” happening in their county until after the crash.

Shocker.

This man, who crashed into and murdered Dr. Davis in an act obviously driven by fear and desperation, will bear the responsibility and burden of taking her life for the rest of his days. But this is not his burden and responsibility to carry alone. He shares that burden and responsibility equally with the ICE agents who initiated this high-speed chase and who have fomented over a year of violent domestic terrorism in this country disguised as immigration enforcement. But another group also bears some responsibility for this horrific incident: people who benefit from systems of pallor.

A whole bunch of y’all stormed the streets when ICE murdered Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Y’all marched and flooded your social media channels with every image and update you could muster.

But y’all are quiet as hell about Dr. Davis.

Where’s the outrage? Where’s the defiance, the marching in the streets? Where’s that “F--- ICE” energy now? Let me guess: most of y’all view Dr. Davis’ murder as something that was “ICE adjacent,” meaning that ICE didn’t directly kill her, so it “doesn’t count,” or you haven’t heard about Dr. Davis’ murder because your newscycle is somehow still centered on mainstream media outlets who have been practically silent about this incident.

Let’s say you didn’t know about Dr. Davis’ murder. Well, you know now. Where’s that anger you had when ICE murdered people of pallor? Does it not carry over to this? Is this not “directly ICE” enough for you to demand accountability like y’all did for Renee and Alex? Or is that your misogynoir and anti-Blackness talking?

Things that make you go hmm.

Rest well, Dr. Davis. I hope your family and community get the closure and justice they and you deserve.

On Y'all's President, Racist Depictions of the Only Non-White U.S. President and his Wife, and Apologists

“I think the president might be racist.”

Oh, really? Y’think so? What clued you in?

“I’m sure the president made a mistake in posting that video.”

You sure about that? Are you new to the world of this man posting hateful and racist memes online? Did you miss the two other times he posted pictures of Barack and Michelle as apes?

“I’m not sure if I can support this administration anymore after seeing this.”

Oh, I see. This was your breaking point, huh? THIS was your breaking point after giving this man your vote for 12 years and watching EVERYTHING he has done to the country. THIS was your breaking point?

Y’all make my brain tired.

On Cities Church, ICE, and a Toxic Situationship

Georgia Fort, Don Lemon, Trahern Jeen Crews, and Jamael Lydell Lundy were arrested this morning at the direction of y'all's president's Attorney General Pam Bondi. This is not even a week after the arrests of Nekima Levy Armstrong, Chauntyll Louisa Allen, and William Kelly. All of this is said to be connected to the Cities Church protest in Minneapolis, Minnesota, which this regime/administration has painted as "an act of domestic terrorism." What actually happened was a protest of the Church's leadership after it was discovered that the Church's pastor, David Easterwood, is the acting field director of the Minnesota branch of the taxpayer-funded slave-catcher domestic terrorist group ICE.

Now, mind you, not one act of violence happened in Cities Church during that protest. Those who entered the building violated no laws. They went in to hold the pastor of the Church - the man who was supposedly leading this congregation - accountable for being an ICE director and selling out members of the community he's supposed to be serving.

Now, some of you may see this protest as a violation of the place of worship. Sure. Why not? I mean, I hope you look at all of the violations of mosques and synagogues in this country by xenophobic "Homeland Security" agents in the same way you're viewing this act of protest in a Western culture-driven church building, but I'm going to guess most folx who view this as a "violation" aren't exactly the most accepting. Take that as you will.

Regardless, seven people have been arrested as "ring leaders" of a "violent coordinated attack", six of whom are Black and two of whom are journalists.

Again, no crime was committed. But we live in a horrifically toxic situationship where the federal government can paint anything as a crime and waste taxpayer dollars trying to prosecute people, especially Black and Brown people, on trumped-up and ridiculous charges ad nauseam if people of pallor who support the white supremacist regime and its leaders are "in danger" of being held accountable for their hatred. I mean, they tried to prosecute Letitia James three times for holding y'all's president accountable for his actions, and they would've tried a fourth time if they weren't shut down by the courts.

And guess what? There's not a lot of media coverage around the optics of this moment or the arrests of respected journalists. Why?

Because people of pallor only care about the optics when journalists of pallor are arrested.

People of pallor only step in when they don't fear for their comfort and well-being.

People of pallor speak up about hate when they can, then move on without giving it another thought.

As for the rest of us? The Black and Brown? The melanated?

I suppose it's just another Friday in the United States, one where we find ourselves sharing information the media and the masses are avoiding, while being tired of asking those who are willfully asleep or faking it to wake up.

Let us know when y'all are done sleeping.

On Slave Catchers, Whiteness Killing Whiteness, Movements and Moments

TW: mentions of murder, harassment, abuse, and domestic terrorism.

Two people of pallor, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, have been murdered by modern-day slave catchers in just a little over two weeks in Minneapolis, Minnesota, after a racist podcaster put them on y’all’s president’s radar for no substantiated reason whatsoever.

Modern-day slave catchers have murdered two people of pallor. The U.S. government has given these violent and hateful goons carte blanche to do whatever they want to anyone they please, including anyone legally recording and protesting their domestic terrorism spree.

Two people of pallor, folx who were technically “on paper” U.S. citizens for all intents and purposes (as messy as those words are), were murdered by modern-day slave catchers just three weeks into 2026. This is after 33 recorded ICE-related deaths in 2025 and countless people battered, bloodied, harassed, and terrorized by said modern-day slave catchers:

31 Dec — Keith Porter — Black American Man —Killed by an off-duty ICE agent

And yet y’all’s president hasn’t been impeached, the 25th amendment hasn’t been invoked. Neither the House nor the Senate will do anything other than chastise protestors and the citizenry, offer hopes and prayers, and say things like, “We need to do better” or “This is unfortunate, but these agents did what they had to do.” Why?

Because all of this that is happening and will continue to happen is white supremacy in action, and while some people of pallor are starting to get it, the issue is SOMEHOW Y’ALL ARE JUST STARTING TO GET IT BECAUSE Y’ALL ARE STILL SHOCKED THAT THE SLAVE-CATCHERS WILL KILL YOU TOO IF YOU OPPOSE WHITE SUPREMACY.

A.K.A.: history repeating itself. I mean, have y’all not heard of people like John Brown?

Meanwhile, what about the other people of pallor who aren’t somehow shocked, dismayed, and driven to finally stand up and fight?

Hiding in the recesses of their privilege and comfort, or being A-OK with white supremacist domestic terrorism as long as it ain’t near their city or neighborhood.

Is it a good thing that some people of pallor are finally getting it? Yes. Long overdue, but yes. But somehow, after all of this, y’all are still in the minority within your own race, and it is absolutely mind-boggling to witness.

So, how many more people of pallor trying to stand up against white supremacy are going to die this time around in the rinse-and-repeat that is U.S. history for people of pallor to finally get that we’re ALL in danger and that the oppressors will happily oppress all of us to achieve white supremacist ideology?

If history repeats itself, as it’s apt to do in Western culture, there will never be a number that will truly tip the scale for people of pallor, even when whiteness openly kills whiteness.

This is why, in a moment that should usher in a collective uprising and some form of nationwide unity, we are just stuck in another moment where whiteness will need to be saved from itself by those in the most danger.

A.K.A. just another day in the United States of America.

On Genocidal Holidays, Pallor Fragility, and Willful Ignorance

I haven't wished people a "Happy Thanksgiving" for years. I don't think this federal holiday deserves well-wishes for obvious (terroristic, white supremacist, big colonizer energy) reasons. Instead, when people who celebrate the holiday wish me a Happy Thanksgiving or ask me what I'm doing for the holiday, I state that I don't observe the holiday - no extra context or nothing, because I expect most adults to get it without me spelling it out. I then mention that I hope they're celebrating this holiday with intentionality and an understanding of the historical context of the holiday and its branding.

And whew, y'all.

People of pallor do not like it when I say that. Not one bit.

You should see their reactions, y'all. They either say something like, "Well, I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving anyway, Pharoah" with that Karen/Kevin energy with their face all contorted with derision or find a way to get away from me as soon as possible and end the conversation they initiated. And it's funny to me that they do this, because it proves that many people of pallor can only exist and operate in a space that caters to them willingly ignoring how harmful so many things in pallor culture, society, and history really are.

You know you can have some turkey on Thursday with your family while acknowledging how funky Thanksgiving as a holiday and concept really is, right? It doesn't have to take away from the meal.

You can be thankful for the blessings you have while also having the fortitude to digest and understand history and educate others on how harmful this week's festivities can be for Native and Indigenous communities and tribes.

It doesn't have to be one or the other.

Knowledge and empathy should always trump feeling cozy in ignorance.

Just sayin'.

And most of y'all's turkeys be dry anyway, so is being willfully ignorant and eatin' unmoisturized meat worth it?
