A historic black cemetery in DC was moved to make way for the Rhode Island Ave. metro station.
The headstones of those buried there were thrown into Potomac River in rural Virginia.
Racism is deep and pervasive.
Masked Columbia University students perform bizarre silent dance without music as they entertain the hundreds of Palestinian activists occupying the university campus.
People go to school for years and spend hundreds and thousands of hours working and learning to become health care professionals and have to argue about health and science with people who watched a 3 minute video on the internet. I'd lose my fucking mind.
Confession: I thought "Club Shay Shay" was a name made by a fan account and that the real name was something else. I did *not* think a 55 year old dude would use that title. Silly me.
Can you imagine how many times the lawyer pleaded with Diddy to settle before the complaint was filed? All for the idiot to settle the next day. Now his image and legacy are completely cooked.
All my black friends who keep telling me to vote for Kamala can't give me any reason other than Project 2025.
Sorry, I'm a man. Fear of things that have not yet happened is not an adequate source of persuasion.
It's been disappointing to have the TL taken over by people who go abroad 5x a year, eat out 4x a wk, & drive nice cars complaining about not being included rather than celebrating how life changing this is for well over half of borrowers, incl those that **really** need this.
60 percent of borrowers have Pell Grants -- so more borrowers will qualify for $20,000 in debt relief than $10,000 in debt relief than the other way around.
Biden to stress that the overwhelming majority of Pell Grant recipients come from families earning under $60K/yr
1. Biden was not good last night
2. It's depressing that Trump can just lie & talk crazy
3. I wish Dems had a diff nominee but we don't
4. There are 2 choices
5. The amount of educated black people on here who invite another Trump admin & it's horribles is v disappointing
If you give off even a tinge of anti-vax in a tweet it's block time. 613,000+ Americans and 4.25M people did not die from this deadly virus for you to ignore science and be stupid
Quick takes on Harris as VP nominee:
1. She's incredibly qualified & will be outstanding
2. Wokeity woke Twitter was only gonna be satisfied with Stokely Carmichael
3. Older BW vote more than anyone else & they are thrilled. Many of "us" were gonna vote for Biden no matter what
These results should also forever put to rest the ideas that Hillary was a "bad candidate" or "ran a flawed campaign." America just is what it is--sexist and racist.
Biden has had to bury his wife and two kids. Each one of those events is enough trauma by itself to last a lifetime. Tomorrow, at 78, after serving 36 years as a Senator & 8 years as VP, he becomes President of the United States. I cannot imagine what is going through his mind
I am thrilled that we finally have a non-lawyer and non-Ivy Leaguer on the ticket. Our political leadership is filled with too many lawyers and people from "elite" schools
Mitch McConnell is not demonized by anyone the way he should be.
Biden has missed so many opportunities to say "because Mitch McConnell and Republicans wouldn't pass it." Driving me crazy
In 1980 the Carter administration urged Thurgood to step down so a Dem could appoint his replacement. He refused and 11 years later a Republican president replaced him with Clarence Thomas 😑
Thurgood and RBG were great but their refusal to step down at the right time is awful

Dems get caught up in these purity tests and existential debates, writing think pieces on why they won't vote for someone. The GOP is like "lol okay fuck all yall" and destroys the country.
It's either we revert to 1850 or vote for Dems. If you don't get that after today...
I was spending almost 35 hours a month commuting. That's almost a regular work week's worth of time in transit. And then add in time spent getting dressed for work. Good luck on getting me back in the office more than 2 days a week.
At different times the last few months, both my mom and stepmom have randomly sent Jade really thoughtful cards and gifts and I knew nothing about it beforehand. That type of affirmation from them...whew. God is good.
Chuck Schumer, you have one job the next two years: judges. Confirm as many as possible as fast as possible. Don't waste time on anything else. Judges, judges, judges.
A consequence of the 2016 fucking election for all you got damn idiots who said they were both the same. As all your rights get curtailed I hope you fucking enjoy it. 6-3 Republican majority on the Supreme Court. It's over for our lifetimes.
Each time I read about an untimely death, whether it's a shooting, car accident, or something else, it really hits me how fleeting life is. You can be gone just like that. I'm reminded how 99% of this stuff we worry about doesn't matter at all.
@ScottHech
man what are you talking about? It was non-binding and the Republicans included it purely for messaging purposes. Booker called it a gift because now Dems can say that they voted this way on the defund the police issue, taking that attack from Republicans. Read a book, please
