Just a guy, with a keyboard, talking about politics and race relations. I was calling myself a liberal back when FOX News tried to make it a slur.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."
There are three classes: rich, poor, and empty
I don't believe Black people are the base of the Democratic party, but I do believe we are the moral center of the Democratic party.
I'm trying to think of the last social issue where Black people haven't been overwhelmingly on the right side of way ahead of every other demographic.

Nope. There's actually no reason not do it, esp if your position is abolish ICE.

Simply put, Dems need to run in the idea that everything we're seeing is the Republican plan. No more calls for bipartisanship bc this is the vision that Republicans want for America.
Dems can deliver more to Americans without the nasty taste Republicans are leaving behind.

You guys have no idea how good this car is for what we’re doing. You can lurk in alleys or behind parked SUVs. It drives like a go-cart. You’re three feet off the ground with exceptional visibility so I can pull snap u-turns or cut behind convoys

I'm not a pro wrestling watcher but I still get clips bc I follow college and FS wrestling. The funniest thing about PW is how proud they are of their "accomplishments" like that shit isn't scripted. Take pride in your creativity or body or fan base. Don't "brag" about how you broke some record.

UPDATE: Jack Daniel’s parent co. Brown-Forman tells me it has nothing to do with CBS’ “Whiskey Friday” concept. “Jack Daniel’s is not involved in any such segment, nor do we have any awareness of the segment and any potential partnerships or sponsorships.”

At the end of the day, I still think the most effective messaging should've been "Republicans spent all this political capital to stop ONE trans girl from playing a non-contact sport."
On my way to the Supreme Court where I'll be proud to support 15-year-old Becky Pepper-Jackson, West Virginia's only transgender athlete, as she opposes the state's effort to ban her from playing as herself.
Win or lose, Becky and her family are heroes for standing up for what's right

I'm actually looking forward to hearing how that specific cohort of Dems will defend not taking any action to punish ICE for its blatantly illegal actions under color of law.
Are they going to play oblivious? Reconciliatory? Defend the institution? It's actually going to be amazing to witness.

And if you're one of the Democrats trying to tell us what counts as a distraction, STFU about what we're doing and hammer him relentlessly on this yourself.

Shit... I don't know what else this guy has said, but this is literally how I would divide the mainstream Dem coalitions.

The most accurate thing about Strangers Things (and media in general) is that if you were Black in the 80/90s and grew up in an almost exclusively White community, you were guaranteed to have a fucked up haircut/hairline.

Abolishing ICE is dumb and short-sighted when Trump & Repubs gave us a pathway to create and fully fund the immigration system we've been asking for without going through Congress, thanks to executive privilege and ICE's massive budget.

A key to deciphering Elon Musk's racism is that he believes that PoC have some evil designs on White ppl hence White solidarity.
So either he believes that the reverse is true & White ppl have evil designs on PoC, or that White ppl are inherently better than that and are therefore better than PoC.

So much of the crap we're seeing America recently is directly downstream from targeted attacks at PoC.
