Bitch, it was MY ancestors who endured slavery.
It was MY ancestors who endured Jim Crow.
It was MY ancestors who fought bloody battles to get the freedoms. Freedoms YOU enjoy today.
Kiss my black ass, I ain't going back. Especially over the Middle East. Y'all racist too.
this might be unpopular but i need americans to understand that maybe you actually do need to suffer a little fucking bit after spending centuries funding and enabling the suffering of the non-white world for the sake of your comfort and convenience.
Your daily reminder that Gretchen Whitmer lost the Arab vote in 2022 and still won the state by 11 points.
So all this bs that "Kamala Harris just lost Michigan because she told a heckler to stfu" isn't remotely true.
Y'all know folks are screaming to replace Kamala Harris and/or stop Hakeem Jeffries because if 2024 goes well for Democrats, the first two people in the line of succession for an 82-year old president will be BLACK people?
While everyone is sounding off against Hunter Biden, I would just like remind everyone Eric Trump stole money from cancer charities.
If the father has to pay for his son's sins, Iโd say Eric did a lot worse than having an infidelity.
Summary of
#DenverShooting
:
- Right-winger maces security guard and gets shot and killed
- Rightwing idiots on Twitter said it was ANTIFA
- Denver Police confirm guard had no connection to ANTIFA
- Rightwing idiots on Twitter still trying to link it to ANTIFA
Panic is a white liberal's luxury. If black people aren't panicking about Biden's chances and we undoubtedly have the most to lose, y'all should be cool as a friggin cucumber.
Y'know, I'm just gonna say it: Black Americans went through centuries of absolute bullsht in slavery, Jim Crow, War on Drugs, etc.
But we NEVER gang-raped innocent women, publicly executed civilians, and paraded their bodies through the street.
So I REALLY don't wanna hear it.
I never thought I'd see the day where Kamala Harris simply asking people to check in on their single friends on a day where suicide rates are normally elevated would be considered offensive.
It's been a week since Roe v. Wade was overturned and I've seen more people attacking Democrats on this app than the party who actually appointed the 6 justices overruled it.
And folks wonder why Republicans remain in power despite being the minority.
The left is the photo MAGAts have been spreading as evidence of Kamala's "botox". It comes from a low-quality recording of a video screen.
The right is from the EXACT same interview. It is higher quality.
Conclusion: MAGAts are both fucking morons and desperate flailing.
I'm really sick of y'all just keep conceding ground to points that aren't centered in reality.
Biden DOES public events. His schedule is public. That's not the problem.
The problem is the media does not cover any of them, then says Biden has been too quiet this week.
I rarely agree with Nate Silver, but this is one of those times
Biden should be out doing a *lot* more public events & interviews
This piece hit home for me in a way that the Ezra Klein pod did not. Itโs proposing a realistic solution for Biden to help his re-election prospects
So my Congressman-elect Luke Letlow just died of COVID-19, which he likely contracted from his victory party where no one was wearing masks.
So in case some of you are inexplicably still on the fence: wear a fcuking mask, people. It is LITERALLY a case of life and death.
@chancetherapper
Tell Kanye to actually put out a platform that has this on it and we'll talk.
Otherwise, stop defending the man during one of his manic episodes.
White folks on this website really saw two mass shootings in Buffalo and Uvalde, but are now threatening to let Republicans take over Congress and obstruct gun control legislation because they are getting $10k wiped off their student loan debt.
A lot of people are getting on Karine Jean-Pierre for "not being more forceful" completely miss the fact that Black women don't have the privilege of being angry.
If her voice raised even a singular half-octave, the Beltway media would've dog-whistled about it all day.
"I'm sorry Chris, you're gonna have to start from the beginning, because there was some disrespect happening" -- today's White House press briefing turned into a bit of a free for all
Progressives are upset at President Biden for endorsing Shontel Brown over Nina Turner is the funniest thing.
Did y'all really expect the woman who called him a "bowl of shit," tried to start a third party in response to his nomination, and attack his VP to have his support?
I don't know who needs to hear this, but if AOC can't pass a single bill out of committee in ~3 years and has only experienced Democratic rule in the U.S. House, why exactly should care what she thinks on literally anything?
Hillary Clinton stood up for Ilhan Omar, AOC, and Rashida Tliab when Trump came after them.
AOC wants to keep her out of the party.
Rashida booed her at a Bernie event while Ilhan watched with a smile on her face.
Fcuk all three of them. They've shown their true colors.

And only on Twitter do y'all think it's completely okay to make fun of a woman's medical condition. Would it be funnier if she had cancer and he made a "Boy in Striped Pajamas" joke?
Also, I've seen people jumped for less in my old hood. Chris gets zero sympathy from me.

It also pushes folks away. Why would they want to join the religion that some random woman screaming at random people in the hallways?
Iโm still Christian and these types of videos are beyond cringeworthy to me. It makes us look like a cult.
Hot take: No one should be telling folks from colonized nations how they should feel about or react to Queen Elizabeth's death.
There is a generational trauma for many people, from the Caribbean to India to Africa to Ireland, that she was a symbol for all of their lives.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but Joe Biden is objectively healthier than Bernie Sanders. So if age is your concern, the man who consistently bikes is far healthier than the guy who had a whole ass heart attack.
Seems like Dean Philips and Marianne Williamson forgot to hand over their petitions with 10k signatures, as required by North Carolina election law, to the state Democratic Party.
Biden isn't keeping them off the ballot, their own ineptitude and idiocy is.
VP Kamala Harris: *wears converses*
๐ง๐ป๐ฑ๐ปโโ๏ธ: Ugh, she's so fake, obviously a stunt!
John Fetterman: *wears shorts*
๐ง๐ป๐ฑ๐ปโโ๏ธ: He's so authentic!
Regardless of whether you support Fetterman or not, you cannot argue the fact that he's benefiting 100% off white privilege.

@keithboykin
They did. The DA was their buddy and basically tried to bury it until she couldn't hide it anymore.
She got arrested earlier this year.
People will come up with every excuse to argue against this point rather than simply acknowledge that Hillary Clinton was 100% right and not voting for her in 2016 was a mistake.
Alec Baldwin fired a prop gun he was assured had nothing in it.
Jussie Smollett faked a hate crime.
Your buddies broke into the US Capitol with the explicit purpose of killing the Vice President and installing their leader.
Pretty sure thereโs a pretty big discrepancy here.
Alec Baldwin and Jussie Smollett didnโt spend one day in jail for their crimes but the January 6 people have been in jail for more than a year. It must be nice having friends in the corrupt Democratic Party.
I'm still stuck on how the people who watched the Supreme Court gut the VRA, kill Roe, and strike down the CDC's eviction moratorium REALLY think that the same judges will be perfectly fine with President Biden forgiving all student loan debt solely via executive authority.
And how fucking dare any of you expect that I set up MY people, who have suffered for HALF A DAMN MILLENNIA (which, for you kids out there, is far longer than the I/P conflict) to suffer just because y'all like to launch bombs at each other every other day.
Cenk, for ALL of his many flaws, realizes that 4 years of Trump likely equals two new Supreme Court Justices, which will set back any progressive legislation by 40-50 years.
If only more Berners could realize that. But no, they'd rather throw the baby out with the bathwater.
You forgot the fact that Trump cheated on his first wife with his second wife, then the second wife with his third wife, then his third wife (while pregnant) with a porn star (who he then paid hush money to).
The kicker? Hunter Biden isnโt running for President. Trump is.
"But you can't police how oppressed people respond."
Baby doll, you're justifying this being done to JEWISH PEOPLE! If there is ANY ethnicity who has been more oppressed than Black and Native Americans, it is undoubtedly the Jews.
Stop talking in sound bites by white leftists.
We're going to get hit by two hurricanes within the EXACT SAME WEEK and I guarantee you Louisiana will STILL vote for the person who called climate change a hoax.
I hate my state.

Black person here.
His words are meaningless to me personally if he continues to associate with racist people like Jeffree Star and Trish Paytas and doesn't put his wallet where his mouth is.
Rand Paul tried to kill and subsequently voted against the 9/11 Hero Compensation Bill last year and tried to downplay, even politicize, the coronavirus outbreak.
Fcuk him, Iโm standing with Christine Pelosi.
Donโt @ me.
Republicans in California wasted taxpayer's money on a recall election that may end up with a bigger Democratic win than 2020's and a Dem seriously narrowed the gap in a special election in an Iowa State House tonight, but you'd never know watching cable news.
The responses to Scott's tweet continue to inform me that the American leftist movement is almost entirely a bunch of young, privileged white kids who care more about remaining "morally pure" than actually protecting the people they claim to care about.
I'm voting for Harris.
Do I hate that I have to? Yes.
Do I wish things were different? Yes.
But at the end of the day, Trump will be worse on these issues. From our civil rights, to Gaza, Trump will be worse. I am not going to act like there's a realistic third option.
@trouble_man90
Nah, our ancestors would be rolling in their grave at seeing Black folks openly say "We're going to allow Trump to win and destroy America because of what's happening on the other side of the planet."
A Fetterman bro told me Bernie Sanders would've been better than Biden on Roe v. Wade because "he would've had a plan for when SCOTUS overturns it."
But couldn't articulate a plan other than the existence of said plan.
They're not serious people.
Barbara Lee and Katie Porter's fans are about to spend the next few weeks openly jockeying for that appointment to Senator Feinstein's seat.
And when it's neither of them, they're going to blast Newsom for months.
Get ready for a hot ass mess.

Perhaps you should be telling this to the only female demographic that voted 55% to have said reproductive rights taken away and not a person who is a part of the 93% who voted to keep them in 2020?

Kathy Griffin makes mistake, fired in ~1 day.
Bill O'Reilly sexually assaults women for years, fired after years with severance package.
Y'all, I'm done with Kaepernick.
It's one thing to not vote. It's another to sit his millionaire ass there and say he's not voting because by voting, he's enabling oppression.
I guess those 200k dead people are now free from that "oppression."
Nina Turner is showing (once again) why black folks in Ohio's 11 Congressional district rejected putting her in the U.S. Congress: when times get tough, she reverts back to criticizing the Democrats for the actions of Republicans.

The Republican Party pushed for tax breaks for corporate meal expenses.
The Democratic Party pushed expanded tax credits for low income families & working poor.
That "both sides are awful" bullshit is just that: bullshit.
In case you missed it, the Bernie Sanders "Revolution" is going the EXACT same way of the Occupy movement: falling apart due to egotistical infighting over purity and loyalty to movement, alienating the people they seek to represent, and being without a true leader.
@rainnyseattle
Black TikTok has been putting everybody on blast that what they're not about to do is bully them into not putting their own interests first.
And I'm loving it.
Let's be clear about this: David Hogg is a white male. Life under GOP rule will never be hard for him, so he can threaten to withhold his vote.
Black folks don't have that option. We try that, GOP will take over the gov't. Check your privilege.
@omgfancy
@acnewsitics
Because he's been saying EXACTLY what they've wanted to say (and have said) for years, "The brown people are invading America and we will lose our voting majority."
"Elizabeth Warren performed better than Kamala Harris."
You cannot objectively say Warren did better than Kamala. Why?
Warren has 0 wins under her belt.
Kamala has 0 wins under her belt.
Therefore, they fared the EXACT same. Kamala just saw the writing on the wall earlier.
But seriously, if you are threatening to not vote for the Democratic Party in November because of student loans, just cut
#BLM
from your bio.
You're telling us how much our lives are to you and apparently they ain't worth $10k.
And let's be clear here: I'm have been vocally of Israel's treatment of Palestinians (not including Hamas).
But I am also wise enough to know that the side justifying and committing gang rape & public executions of civilians are usually never the right one.
Just want recognize how amazing Sharice Davids is: she was gerrymandered into a district that was extremely unfavorable for her...but she's STILL currently the favorite to win.
It's funny how much y'all lie. Biden literally never dipped below second place during the ENTIRE primary. Majority of it, he was the frontrunner.
You do realize that you can't lie when the polls from that primary are literally STILL ACCESSIBLE UPON GOOGLE SEARCH, RIGHT?
So, according AP News, when America began its racial reckoning, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer withdrew her name and told Biden to pick a black woman.
I stan white people who know how to read the room.
@EoinHiggins_
I'm assuming you can count so I want you to do it with me.
Assume RBG retired and got replaced immediately.
Scalia would still die.
Obama would still not have the Senate to take him up.
Trump still wins.
Trump still appoints 3 justices.
Roe is still overturned 5-4.
The funny thing if you want to go even deeper: Slotkin, a moderate who is heavily supportive of Israel, won by 25 pts in Wayne County (where Dearborn is located) against Tliab's preferred candidate Harper.

@notcapnamerica
Really, this is the ONLY argument she'll need. Her mother willingly and knowingly endangered the life of her family, then hid it from them.
Someone tell me who Elizabeth Warren pissed off at the Boston Herald and Boston Globe?
BG endorsed Kamala Harris for VP and BH slammed Warren as the only person who could lose Biden the general AND slammed her people's article.
I donโt get why leftists have parked their asses in my mentions to mock me over Conor Lambโs defeat instead of making texts and calls for their candidate, who is MIA.
I just want to pop in and remind y'all that Hillary Clinton and the army of black women who (rightfully) backed her were right about Tulsi Gabbard six years ago.
When will y'all learn to start to them?
I've said it before and I'll say it again: We really need to stop electing activists to Congress. It's VERY clear they care more about making noise than fixing issues.
If you want a good example, where is Rep. Cori Bush at on that eviction moratorium legislation?
