SeaHigh ready to die

How I b3 feelin on a regular.

I wish this was my friend

De'arra and Ken. 😍

Sell all your shit and live in a van. Then you can go anywhere.

God @ northern liberals w that “southerners deserve natural disasters for voting for trump” as if there aren’t a ton of poor people and people of color and other vulnerable people.. y'all think it’s the rich republicans that will die if a hurricane hits Florida??? Naw so shut the fuck up

Listen this is why gerrymandering is such a massive, massive problem down here in the south.

Texas has been slowly becoming a Latinx majority state for decades. You wouldn’t know it by the way Texas votes because gerrymandering exists. Rich southern conservatives always win the votes because of this. (Lack of decent education doesn’t help.)

Worst of all, they try to teach us in school that the federal government bullies the state by making the state submit its redistricting plans for approval before redistricting can take place.

In reality, it’s because the gerrymandering would get even worse if the state was allowed to do as it pleased.

Gerrymandering and voter suppression are why the south looks the way it does in elections. The south is poor and more diverse than a significant part of the rest of the country, and all of the marginalized people get thrown under the bus by the whole country and by both parties.

So yeah when you wish bad things on the south, you’re being pretty indescribably shitty because let me tell you, the south already has “bad things” happen in significant amounts.

There’s so many people in the notes that are like ‘yes! So go vote!’ It’s like talking to a fucking wall.

I really wish people really considered what voter suppression actually MEANS. It’s not ‘voters are discouraged a lil’. There are laws and regulations designed to disenfranchise people of color, especially black people, and prevent us from voting at all, and failing that, water down the power of that vote as much as possible.

Changes are also enacted that make it more difficult to vote–DMVs business hours changing, fewer places available to vote with increasing distances between them (but more affluent and whiter areas having less distance to travel, morepolling places and therefore shorter wait times…) offices in predominately pooorer and blacker towns being reduced obtaining a photo ID requiring you to jump through more hoops, it’s a lot.

And that’s just he obvious direct point a to point b shit. That’s not talking about felon voter rights being taken away, while people of color (again, especially black people) are charged for crimes that white defendants walk for, with less evidence and harsher sentencing, including what may be considered a misdemeanor for a white person being charged a felony.

And cops have come forward and admitted they’ve been told not to prosecute drug crimes in white neighborhoods, so it’s foolish to pretend that mandatory minimum sentencing and zero tolerance policies are meant to be anything but another tool to disenfranchise us. This is an especially notable problem in Florida, which plays into why that map looks like that, too.

You cannot tie a people’s hands behind their back, gag them, tie them to a chair, and then tell them that all they gotta do is stand up, and wonder why you’re having no issue doing so while they’re struggling.

You know what changes the Democratic Party could implement if they truly wanted to increase voter rights in these areas? Find and provide free child care while voting is taking place–and feed those children too. Organize and fund car pools to voting areas.

Months before the deadline, have PAID workers from these communities show up in person to recruit voters and discuss any possible difficulty getting to the polls, explain how absentee ballets work and how to access them.

It’s not cheap, but when the dems are happy to fundraiser shocking amounts of money to pay for an already insured building, it ain’t impossible.

Instead of smugly ‘going high’ when they go low, help those of us being hurt by them going low. Instead of fucking funding their voter suppression lol.

Like, voting is not going to save us. It’s just not. At best, it must be seen as a form of harm reduction. But we still cannot practice it as a form of harm reduction when we can’t actually access this shit.

I guess I'll be moving down south to be with my brothers. #wedieinnumbers 💚
