Calling out harm shouldnβt end in cops being called. But here we are. A woman of color says something honest and suddenly itβs treated like a threat instead of truth. Truly TEXTBOOK behavior.
This is THE play, every time: Center white womenβs feelings, escalate fast, avoid the actual conversation, remove the person who named it. Pretend like safety was the goal.
In a country where police violence against BIPOC communities is well documented, threatening to load an event with cops is a clear message about whos safety is protected and whose isnβt. And banning one of the few women of colorin this townβ¦ with this kind of history?
You couldnβt script it better. Nothing new happening here. They donβt want to talk about the history- they want to continue it.
If you wanna help. Sure you could message the organizers (youll probably be ignored and blocked). Even better, Share this to your story and on your feed to help inform others. Dm me so i can add you as a collaborator and help these truths be told.
As our democracy crumbles I think itβs high time we start looking closer and holding people accountable.
If weβre serious about stopping a fascist takeover,we donβt need extremes, it starts here. With quiet choices to smooth things over. Deciding to to attend the event anyway makes you complicit in letting history be cleaned up so itβs easier to swallow. HIw is that different than our current administration?
Fascism doesnβt arrive out of nowhere. Itβs built on what we agree to ignore. So if we want it to stop, we have to stop feeding itβ¦by refusing the sanitized version and telling the truth all the way through. By using our power to walk away from anything that asks us to pretend otherwise.

I have a good one to share.
Thank you @sounddevices for making my job easier! And making me look good to production.
Production could not figure out how to get audio from the Black Magic Atem into the MacBook for Zoom. The Atem had levels, but not the computer.
This happens sometimes. Not sure if the computer, the cable, or the switcher is to blame. The Atem is always involved so I have a theory... Usually, I always send audio to the camera directly, and over SDI or HDMI, my audio makes it to zoom. It wasn't working.
Production looked to me for answers. (As if sound can solve all tech problems, good thing we can).
Without trying to diagnose that annoying switcher, or Mac, or cable, or port, etc...I knew my Sound Devices 8 series, in my case the 888, has a USB out. And becomes an interface in an instant.
I have it set to output my mix, grabbed my USB C to C cable I keep in my bag, and I simply plugged into the MacBook, selected 888 on the computer and we were off to the races.
The camera op (who was tasked to solve this), producer, and director all thanked me numerous times for "saving" the production. No, thank you Sound Devices. ππΌππΌππΌ

Nice snap πΈ @relyonrach
