The fact that Trump is going to oral arguments to pressure the justices to acquiesce to his attempted nullification of a constitutional amendment and create a stateless class for the first time since the civil war, illustrates what is really at the core of the Trump project and it isn’t tariffs.
That part. Folks can’t choose to stay in Omelas thinking torture-subsidized comfort is what empowers solving violence elsewhere, and then demand the credit for *really wanting* to leave.
Thank you for saying this. The folks in this thread who insist on changing the subject are doing so BECAUSE we have not repaired the wrongs of the Transatlantic Slave Trade. They don’t like the icky feeling of their continued unearned benefits resulting from the trade. Whiteness is exhausting.
Ummmm, have y’all seen the hot mess that is the “Black Women” article on Wikipedia? What in the undergrad-paper-written-at-3am-the-night-before-deadline nonsense is this? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_w...
Sorry this is happening! I can see you 🫶🏾
Stop gaslighting Aesop’s Fables, you ghouls!!
THE WORKER is the goose that laid the golden egg and billionaires are the greedy goose owners who kill the goose hoping to find a cache of gold to sell. LABOR MAKES THE GOLDEN EGGS, JFC
So I don’t know what you did @hankgreen.bsky.social but my daughter’s cat wants to get you 🤣
all of these people making up wild allegations about Mamdani are ignoring his very real accomplishments, like killing Dick Cheney.
Apparently I’ve said something controversial by arguing that the future model for the Democratic Party are charismatic candidates who advocate for populist positions while never backing down to right wing intimidation campaigns. How is this even up for debate?
Definitely his middle name: Aubrey Drake Sore Loser Graham
It occurs to me that if Toronto makes it, they WILL lose against the Dodgers, and that will somehow be yet another L for Drake

@thewayoftheid.bsky.social I just heard about Coqui! Do you have any information about a service or where to send anything for her family?
The mainstream media is going to regurgitate the administration’s propaganda that money is pouring in via tariffs, it is on all of us to loudly tell the truth and constantly repeat it: This is a tax on working families that is destroying the growing economy he inherited.
Well damn
Inchoate thoughts from some reading:
Rich white dudes are ferocious about attacking on Black women’s material base — public sector employment — and cultural capital — online etc — right now because they think we radicalized white women
people on the left and opposed to trump almost always sound like theyre trying to impress someone. meanwhile the right is directly speaking to people in normal language and it is very effective.
Elon Musk, after the America Party’s first election results: look, obviously we’re going to have a few candidates explode violently before we get one into office
He simply must be stopped.
The speed with which companies are abandoning DEI is a clue about how shallow their commitment to it ever was.
First they came for that guy and I did not speak up because fuck that guy

I have a bunch of thoughts about how Beyoncé is reckoning with Black American identity, the erasure of Black life in popular Americana imagery, and what it means that one of the most iconic images of Ruby Bridges was created by Norman Rockwell in the face of declining empire and no cultural safety
At Christmas with my fam and it got quiet as a church prayer when Bey took to the screen.
a group of figurines posed like a nativity scene on a table. The baby Jesus is a mummy cat in a sarcophagus, surrounded by a white cat in jacket and scarf sitting on a camping chair holding a mug, a black cat raising a paw on his hind legs and meowing, and two Scandinavian Dala horses.
Merry Christmas you delightful nerds! I hope you find even the tiniest joys in this ridiculous place
TV with still image from Die Hard of Theo when the vault opens, he says “Merry Christmas” and it is awesome!
It’s the most wonderful time,
Of the year… #AVeryDieHardXmas

Poem Yvonne, black and white ink drawing of a young Black girl with glasses, wearing a dress and black and white pedal pushers. She is carrying a grocery bag with collard greens peaking out. The poem is called Yvonne and reads: yvonne stood there unsmiling. with collard greens and sensible shoes on her way to becoming a good Black woman
Yvonne looked just like me!
