The discussion among conservatives about the VA Governor’s race reveals how little they think about Black voters. They cannot fathom that Black voters are rejecting a Black candidate. They honestly believe that Black people are only interested in racial representation and not concerned about policy.
Somebody said y'all would rather support that white woman over Winsome Earle-Sears

Let me tell you something... VOTE FOR THAT WHITE WOMAN!!!!!!

Andrew Cuomo’s campaign just posted — and quickly deleted — this AI-generated ad depicting “criminals for Zohran Mamdani.”

Features a Black man in a keffiyeh shoplifting, an abuser, a trespasser, a trafficker, a drug dealer, and a drunk driver all declaring support for Mamdani.

It's incredibly normal to feel uncomfortable being near people who are different from you. And your job as a human being is to feel a little ashamed of that, grow the fuck up, and get over it.
Vance says it is "totally reasonable and acceptable" for people to not want to live next door to people who speak a different language than they do

A very dear friend of mine died. He was 74 and I miss him terribly. I'm going to read some #DocSavage books in his memory.

Sad news for us all. I immediately remembered his many articles and his poetic tribute to the opening of The Man of Bronze (Bronze Gazette 15).

Requiescat in pace, David

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.
I walked sections 5 and 6 of the roundabout #sfcrosstowntrail yesterday ( Land's End to the ferry building) with the crosstown trail guided walk. It was fantastic. I started walking with intention a couple years ago and now I've been walking all over the place. I feel like a walking evangelist.

Oedipus: Like you’ve never had sex with someone and regretted it later
Completely irrelevant and random but I had buyer's remorse on the color of mugs I got ( we are replacing old dishes that have been chipped). I like the color I got but I wanted the other I didn't get. So I got some in the other color. Silly but there you go.
Have fun!! What are you seeing ( if you're going out to music)?

PS: One important Factual note — in an otherwise accurate piece, this author, Brady Mullins, mischaracterizes the Obama Admin’s proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership trade policy: its goal was to partner WITH US Labor Unions and manufacturing + transportation corps to Solidify US PacRim trade footprint

“…In the early 1980s, an obscure CA congressman, Tony Coelho, took over fund-raising operations for House Democrats and urged them to make friends with corporate lobbyists. Within a few years, Democrats were drawing as much money from corporate PACs as Republicans.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/23/o...

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government.

She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her.

So I confronted him.
