Note to White evangelicals. Check the neighborhood before you knock. A group knocked on my door today. My response, "I'm a Black Baptist. We made it through slavery and Jim Crow, and we'll make it through MAGA. When y'all learn to act better come back and talk to me about Jesus - Black Jesus!"

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

I'm guessing that when you say "never" you mean, "never in the past 61 years, 5 months, and 16 days." But if you mean "never, ever in our country's history" then I suggest you read up on the slaveocracy era. We've been here before (in our nation's history).

Elon Musk spent $300 million to get Trump elected—so he could *checks notes* fire middle-class Americans who make sure Veterans get healthcare. Because nothing says "populist revolution" like mass layoffs for the people actually serving those who served.

I got my MMR as a child. Is this a new measles, or is this the measles I was vaccinated against? Is my government looking in to this? Will my government share the latest information? Sorry that I have to ask.
