Summary
Racist text messages invoking slavery were anonymously sent to Black individuals across several U.S. states, sparking investigations by the FBI, FCC, and local law enforcement.
The messages, received in states like New York, Alabama, and California, varied in wording but shared a disturbing tone, with some directing recipients to report to specific locations.
Civil rights groups, including the NAACP and Southern Poverty Law Center, condemned the messages, calling them deeply disturbing and perpetuating a legacy of evil.
Wireless providers are working to block the messages, which officials believe could be the work of bots or malicious actors.
So I’m guessing this is Jacob Wohl again?
Call me melodramatic, but I’m honestly surprised there aren’t roving bands of armed white dudes with trucker hats and wrap-around sunglasses in every neighborhood at this point. Maybe Jan 21, but I won’t be alive to know.
Giving up gives them power, and leaves others behind who you could help. Yeah, it sucks he won, but it’s not over. Don’t let them take everything for free.
Thats not mentioning there are certainly people who care about you in the world. You may not even understand what you mean to them.
If you’re contemplating suicide over this, seek help. It’s not worth it.
but I won’t be alive to know.
Never kill yourself for something that’s somebody else’s fault.
Meh
I don’t want to deal with 4 years of constant panic attacks every day. Again.
Get a script for Xanax and get off the internet. You’re only going to hear the worst news here.
Then get some treatment, or go somewhere better.
Get used to it. This is the new normal in Trump’s America.
Never get used to this. I get what you are saying but I don’t think this is the right response.
Do I want to get used to it? Absolutely not. But this is what America wants and voted for.
Yeah. I’m feeling so much contempt for my country right now, part of me feels like, had I known this about us, I’d have welcomed Trump long ago, because clearly we deserve this. Let’s just let everything get so bad they are forced to confront the wretched failure of the society they have wrought.
What’s going to happen is in a few years the balance of power will shift, saving them from the worst consequences of the failures of far right policy, and they will learn nothing.
Nope. Let’s not any more. Let them fucking have it. Let them fucking destroy everything just so, at the end, they can appreciate that the devastation and misery surrounding them is a monument to their own stupidity and failure.
I sort of understand Trumpists right now. I’m so angry that I’m willing to endure misery as long as I know it’s hurting them, too.
I highly doubt Trump will do anything that would destabilize the stock market, never forget how self centered he is although his cronies hmmm 🤔
Becoming Russia’s toy won’t exactly help matters along in that regard. Plus then there’s the tariffs which he has no idea how they work.
I mean 30% tariffs across the board will be fucking devastating to our economy. I don’t know if that will hurt stock prices themselves, but as Americans become poorer, I’m not sure where they will make up the difference. Fire more people, I guess?
Stocks can only go up don’t you know the whole thing is basically rigged at this point… But seriously everyone made so much money the last time he was president… Except the people who didn’t and all that was basically wiped away with inflation so I expect that to happen again this time …
Trump is over 80 years old he won’t be around much longer
Trump is a symptom. Don’t get me wrong, the sooner he succumbs to his decades long suicide-by-cheeseburger the better, but shit isn’t going to get better once he finally fucks off.
After seeing him in action for 4 years and hearing all the Nazi shit he’s said since, the average voter decided they like him even more than they did the first time - they fucking love that evil shit, and that’s the problem. When Trump is gone, some other evil fucker will step into the spotlight and the 73 million Nazis that voted to burn our country down will just focus their support over to the new guy.
And it’s not going away with boomers or any other generation either. I had high hopes for Z, but it turns out a lot of them are little Nazis too.
Humans are trash, and we’ll continue to live in a dumpster until we’re extinct.
Republicans: “Well, who else is gonna work the fields after we deport all the Mexicans?”
Prisoners.
Children.
Nah they go to the mines
There’ll be no shortage of those once they start rounding up the democrats (to include anything else that isn’t the ‘true republican’), the LGBTQ+, and non(‘correct version’ of)christians. Oh, and minorities.
Buckle up buckaroos
We saw an uptick in this sort of bullshit back in 2016, too. Racists and bigots feel emboldened under Trump. Get ready for more targeted harassment like this, and for nothing to be done about it.
I think the only correct response to a text message like this is:
“Thank you for scheduling in advance, see you there!”
Followed by photos of large guns.
Then the cops arrest you for making “threats”
Without photos then.
Can we talk about your car’s extended warranty? I’ve been trying to reach you
