The men in my dms are sick of me. I don’t have anything in there for them but WWII facts and I’m so serious.

Yall voted for this TWO times and the whole world knows it.

Post WW1 Germany fell into Nazism because of hyperinflation and economic chaos, America fell into it because of record low unemployment and folks liking to “do their own research.”

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.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

These folks are just really mad about being ugly and mediocre. I’ve never seen so many men with hips and women without lips.

If you read one thing today… www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

I will say that this isn’t new phenomena for educated/qualified Black people. But it is being laid bare for others to see we haven’t been lying. It’s just out in the open now, rather than being attributed to “not a good culture fit”.

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

It’s not just Space X. Musk was able to save Tesla because of a loan from the Dept of Energy. Here he is in 2013 filled with gratitude for the federal agency & the taxpayers who saved his business. From reporting by @puck.news. airmail.news/issues/2025-...

I strongly believe that right now WE are best served by channeling our energies locally and rebuilding our IRL communities, recreating hubs and spaces to organize and fellowship, and establishing networks for resources and mutual aid that aren't reliant on social platforms. That's significant work.

TLDR: He’s Black and that’s disqualifying.

These people are demonic

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia has published a letter sent to him by Trump’s Department of Justice threatening to potentially prosecute him for criticizing Elon Musk.

People who say the U.S. has never had gulags or programs are, once again, erasing Black people from American history.

Do Ivy law schools next, the actual source of the legal ghoul pipeline

Y’all don’t want diversity and inclusion? Fine. It’s time to gift you losers with adversity and exclusion!!!

Heavy on the fake fan out. They’ll turn on her when she tries to lead like they did KH

Crockett: He went from being the dork that was jumping around on stage to allegedly being this amazing genius that's gonna save a country he wasn't born in, and one that maybe he doesn't agree w/the idea of a democratic republic, considering the fact he may have been more on the side of apartheid.

Trump wants you to forget that he gutted the Aviation Safety Committee and ousted the FAA administrator during his first week in office. Don’t forget.

I’ve said this so many times, people assume people are rich because they are so much smarter than the rest of us and this will be the downfall of us all.

This is why Tia is everyone’s favorite. There is no bigger welfare queen than Elon. Do not piss me off.

Oh yes. She was on it. Now, did the 800,000 Polish Americans in Pennsylvania that she referred to vote to protect the interest of the U.S. and Poland? Someone please go to a diner and ask ‘em.

Embarrassing. He needs to go.

@raskin.house.gov: "In that network of rightwing billionaire libertarian-turned-authoritarians, they are very open about the fact that they think democracy is obsolete, we're living in a post-Constitutional America, and they are trying to get everyone ready for a technostate monarchy."

I usually don't want an apology unless i want to maintain the relationship. And if the apology isn't there immediately after being made aware of the offense, I'm not maintaining the relationship. There are always exceptions, but in general, i don't make space for repeated mistreatment.

Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder because I do not see it. That dude is not pretty or attractive in the slightest.

Idiots

Senator Bill Cassidy, a physician who voted to confirm Robert Kennedy Jr., posted this today.

The Real-Time Crime Index is now updated with 351 agencies covering more than 81 million people with data through December 2024. The preliminary findings: Murder -16% Violent Crime -5% Property Crime -9% Motor Vehicle Theft -22% See realtimecrimeindex.com

I want to see this so bad.

Leaders make sure their team gets the accolades during successes. Leaders also take responsibility for the team’s failures. The “men” of this administration are not leaders, they just happen to be in charge.

don’t sleep on the victims mistaking the shooter for arab

NY City Council speaker Adrienne Adams: "With the resignation of deputy mayors, it has become clear that Mayor Adams has now lost the confidence and trust of his own staff, his colleagues in government, and New Yorkers. He now must prioritize New York City and New Yorkers, step aside and resign."
