Then when the unqualified White man ruined the country they turned to an old White man to fix it and he did. But the old White man was too loyal to Black people and he had to go and the idea that his successor would be a Black woman drove them to choose the unqualified White man again.
They’re not ready to have the real conversation and it’s this: White people saw the path the country was headed with a two term Obama presidency with a woman set to take the reins and decided nah we’d rather have an unqualified White man instead.
Online idiots chanting "Biden had one job -- to stop a second Trump term."
No, that was the voters' job. Amazes me how any citizen of a democracy can deny the whole premise of democracy. Opportunists exploit this rejection of responsibility. Hence the market for authoritarians on left and right.
The people who use “identity politics” to try and silence anyone who speaks out about race and gender can forever kiss my ass.
The Reagan Revolution and its direct descendant MAGA are the result of identity politics so fuck anyone who thinks they’re going to shut me up with that bullshit.
Fake leftist edgelords who hate Democrats and never vote is how we got here.
We have to stay focused on what is in front of us.
We must win the midterms. But we must also have a vision for when we are in power to address childcare, housing, and health care and make life more affordable.
one of many maddeningly unserious aspects of the DC Circuit's latest order blocking a criminal contempt investigation of Trump:
she legit claims the order only talks about "removal" and says nothing about "transferring custody," so locking them up abroad is fine

My sense of Minnesota today is that there’s less tear gas and the same amount of unlawful detention, destruction of families, loss of livelihood, people in hiding.
There is less tear gas at places like Lake and Lyndale, so it’s not making news.
Today we remember the horrific tragedy of the Columbine shooting. 27 years later, it is a disgrace that gun violence is still the leading cause of death for children in America.
You heard him, Virginia.
With a single stroke of a pen, Donald Trump pardoned roughly 1,500 people who violently stormed the United States Capitol on the first day of his second term in office. He pardoned without exception, without condition, and without any regard for what they had done or who they had hurt.
Lol, is Bernie Sanders going to have to drop "billionaires" from his "fight the oligarchy" speech now? Or is he going to means-test which billionaires he rails against?
What a conundrum! 😂😂😂😂😂
Studies involving venture capital, pro sports, healthcare & entertainment find all-women groups face a collaboration penalty that solo women & all-men groups escape. All women groups seen as more threatening & more likely to challenge power structures. theconversation.com/why-women-in...
AG Brown, along with the Attorneys General of Oregon and New York, lead a coalition of 22 states that secured a federal court order Saturday permanently blocking an unlawful attempt by the Trump administration to threaten healthcare providers for treating youth with gender dysphoria. (1/2)

"Two-thirds of mass shootings in the United States are linked to domestic violence, and 40% of the victims in domestic violence-related mass shootings are children."

Thank you so much for this, very enlightening!
We should not have to rely on the largesse of billionaires to 'save" PUBLIC RADIO.
For real! Sadly, we will all need to rely on the kindness of strangers until white people stop voting for Republicans.
Why are you oppressed? Because Black people are! You get all the leftover oppression from America’s attempt to oppress us! The sooner you join us in fighting for our freedom the sooner you get yours!
Freedom is only a hop away. Can he make it?
that beep beep beep sound you hear is the president and his family backing a truck up to the US treasury...

The DOJ is now 5 month in breach of releasing the Epstein files.
Holding these criminals accountable should be the Nuremberg of our time.
1/The Justice Department has moved to drop the last remaining January 6 insurrection criminal matters: the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys seditious conspiracy cases. Trump commuted their sentences when he returned to office, which got them out of prison, but it didn’t erase their convictions.
Jared Kushner is incredibly corrupt. He corruptly distorted US foreign policy in Trump’s first term to get more money into his and his father-in-law’s private accounts, and he’s accelerated those efforts in term 2.
Anyone who praised his Gaza real estate scheme as “peace” helped perpetuate it.
I swear to goodness that damn lady is incapable of not shitting on BW.
Yes she testified before Congress alongside Warren but the person that actually gave her a job in politics and a big responsibility to beef up her resume was Kamala Harris.
Fvck her, her whiteboard, and her insulin earrings🤷🏾♀️
This.
21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures ... have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. 22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?
⚠️ Palantir released what it describes as a vision for “The Technological Republic” in which it argues AGAINST democratic and cultural pluralism and FOR militaristic supremacy enforced by a technocratic elite who produce AI weaponry.
These points stand out:
"Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial: Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later."
Also rural lgbtq+ people have been positively impacted by Dem policies on gay rights & protections more than gays in urban/progressive areas.
And interracial marriage protections?
Fucking DACA?
You're a liar. Flat out. Why?
