This video aged extraordinarily well. This goes along with the Dark Gothic MAGA video I posted a couple of weeks go. I'll link that gain in the comments. This is another piece in the Network Cities puzzle, and in this case, thankfully it failed. But this is just the beginning of a very long fight.

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

Worst. Episode. EVER.

Yea… niggas don’t even need FFLs(federal firearm license) they just reselling shit out the evidence locker.

OREGON: “The house & senate are totally abdicating their responsibilities.” @RepBentz (R) is the latest Republican to get confronted by constituents at a town hall. (Tennessee folks— town halls are these things where senators/reps show up and you can talk to them in person)

I'm not tolerating WHITE or POC nonsense. Read that however many times you need. Fuck your antiBlackness.

Anti-DEI is an attack on civil rights by segregationists. Most white "allies" are completely silent while segregationists attack Black people and our civil rights. These silent "allies" without a shred of shame or self-awareness, fully expect Black voters to make sacrifices to save them at midterms

I think it would heal me to stand at a large body of water at just scream

If you’re an allegedly liberal white person attacking DEI “because it doesn’t include Jewish people.” Congratulations, you’re an asshole. You’re centering whiteness. It’s possible to be harmed by white supremacy AND be white. Just ask Italian and Irish people.

Shit yeah, Shinebaum!

Reminder: I love being BLACK…

This is AN excellent framing.

If I said it once I've said it 1000x: being anti-Genocide isn't a purity test.

If your Republican rep won’t hold a town hall, HOLD IT WITHOUT THEM. Show up, take the mic, demand answers. They work for YOU. Make them remember it.

I don't have a problem making space to talk about my country's (and my family's) awful past, because I want my country to be better, and you don't get to be better until you face up to the evil shit your forepeople did to get us to this point in time.

Starr on Jaguar Wright's new role as a MAGA sweetheart. He's not lying.

The attacks on DEI are a pretext for a much more radical agenda of reversing the gains of the civil rights movement, an objective the Trump administration is pursuing with zeal. A Great Resegregation. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

🔥WATCH: 🇬🇧’s Julia Hartley-Brewer showing everyone how it’s done. Master class. Why can’t 🇺🇸 media do this to Trump, Musk, and everyone else enabling this? Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGYb7Ox...

Yuuup! Dr. Carol Anderson’s book White Rage addresses this amazingly well. Black advancement always leads to white backlash. Every. Time.

I heard Stacey Patton at a conference about children/adolescents' mental health say: "Black people will never be free if they continue to worship the god of their oppressors." in a black church. people were outraged, but it changed my life. She's a fantastic wordsmith and truthteller.

It’s hilarious folks are acting as if he didn’t say what the plan was and just kept saying oh he’s just being Trump. He’s a clown 🤡 for sure but a clown 🤡 that has told everyone the plan each time.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

BREAKING: The USDA has confirmed five additional dairy herds in California have tested positive for the virus, raising the total to 732. Currently, 74% of the state's dairy herds are infected with H5N1.

Did you know Libby and Hoopla are banned for anyone under the age of 18 in Mississippi? Did you know that 60% of 1000 book challenges in 2022/2023 were submitted by JUST 11 people? A radical minority is pulling YOUR books. #booksky

Why did Hegseth just fire every top military branch lawyer? What did they refuse to sign off on? A Pulitzer awaits the reporters and outlet who can tell the public.

Unless you knew someone who was affected in the 1980s, you might believe that Social Security has never been cut. Not true. To help fund his "trickle down" tax breaks for the wealthy, Reagan stole billions in survivor benefits from children who lost a parent in death. DOGE & Trump will do it again!

I spy with my little eye stories by me and @avitusbcarle.bsky.social in this roundup by @electriclit.bsky.social Read "Miranda" my interactive flow chart story about America's criminal justice system here electricliterature.com/12-poems-and...

Black military watching their own black leaders getting cut down the top. Black Feds clearing out desks, getting unemployed en masse. Black employees of corporations seeing DEI stripped away & layoffs coming in. Black families losing financial resources & healthcare. Black academics losing funding..

Why do people who claim to remember their past lives always seem to be reincarnations of Helen of Troy or an accused Salem witch or someone heroic on the Titanic, and never a random cabbage-selling wench from the 1500s who died in her sleep at the ripe auld age of 39 and never learned to read
