Always fighting ghosts. And so long as they inject race into it, they can get millions to accept it in the place of actually making their lives better. BLM, CRT, DEI, “woke,” antifa And this has the added benefit of targeting any nascent effort of organizing in which Black ppl are involved.

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

So Kamala Harris was willing to go on different media forums but got consistently ratfucked and rejected behind the scenes. Dems and media scapegoated her after the election claiming she was afraid to do non traditional media. @podsaveamerica.crooked.com berated Kamala for not doing Rogan🙄

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

This is the worst one. I've seen lots of bad RFK videos but this is the worst. I don't know what is more awful, the fact that the guy who might run HHS is casually talking about his belief in eugenics or that he won't look her in the eye when he pitches this racist madness

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Only saying once on bsky b/c I know it is not entirely useful, but it is totally exhausting that in 2016 some of us said “they’re Nazis,” some of us screamed “they’re segregationists,” and a whole lot of very serious people now posting about them being Nazis and segregationists gaslight us for years

People are about to learn just how many programs, departments, events, roles, etc for Black and brown folks were federally funded (and in some cases federally protected). All the Black ppl who always ask "what have the dems even done for us" are about to get the most dramatic answer possible.

Appreciate this from @juddlegum.bsky.social. We know the corporations that flipped on their commitment to withhold contributions from elected officials who played a role in the 1/6 coup attempt.

Carter used the power of his post presidency to nearly eradicate guinea worm. There were 3.5 million cases when the Carter Center’s work began in 1986. He said in 2015 that he wanted to see “guinea worm completely eradicated before I die.” There’ve been 7 cases this year. www.npr.org/sections/goa...
