I can't stop thinking about the horde of white women demanding that Michelle Obama run for president, all while she stated over and over, that she was not a politician, and had no interest in becoming one.

It was white women declaring they own a Black women's life, and her saying, no, I own me.

Anxious Rage @anxiousrage.blacksky.app · Mar 5

All day long white liberals are on this site, begging for Obama, Harris and Black women in general to save them but I don’t believe most of you are willing to fully reject white supremacy and facism to save yourselves, much less step into the fray to protect us.

Joe Biden lost his bid for president 4 times and was a LAUGHINGSTOCK til Barack needed a moderate racist to cosign him to get to the White House.

And he only got elected because of people’s DESPERATION for “normalcy.” Not his policies.

And if people cant ADMIT THAT then we’re nowhere near

Hilary and Joe are seven-time certified losers, with just one win between them. The Clintons ruined the Democratic Party

I’m racist towards the white man who fought for segregation so his kids didnt have to go to school in “race jungles” and the woman who told her husband to bomb a small country before she took him back for his infidelity

Joe Biden was elected president because he was that conservative & the democrats stay trying to be as conservative as conservatives to beat them & we were held hostage to voting for him because we could not bear the thought of Trump again, & that democratic strategy only goes so far.

As a primatologist, Jane Goodall was a huge inspiration to me. I admired the way she describes chimpanzee behavior with such detail and empathy, and she’s inspired so many people and advocated for chimpanzee conservation and welfare.

However, I'm dismayed at what her narrative leaves out (1/10)

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

I want people who are not Mariners fans to know that they’re all like this. For the last 5 years we have been within a game of the playoffs 162 games a year and every game is 11 innings and then if we make the playoffs we lose a game where we held them scoreless for 17 innings

This was not why he won the Nobel Peace Prize and I do not understand why white people do not get it. He won it for getting elected to the presidency as a Black man in the US. They gave MLK the prize for his civil rights activism and basically treated Obama’s election as civil rights activism.

Jacob T. Levy @jacobtlevy.bsky.social · 1d

One of the only things Trump has ever been right about: Obama had no business winning the Nobel Peace Prize for what amounted to the accomplishment of being a US president who was not George W Bush. (Remember, he had been in office for eight months at the time.)

Nice to see ESPN quote our New York Times story today.

But the big story here is this sentence:

"According to a report from Deloitte earlier this year, revenues are projected to top $1 billion this year."

If true, WNBA players are getting 2% of revenue!!!

I complained earlier that WaPo's story on Trump inviting PizzaGate guy to the White House was insane. Not so this Independent story.
www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Not to be outdone, in came Jack Posobiec, one of the right’s weirdest hangers-on, who is perhaps most famous for the time he spread the “Pizzagate” theory and then got removed from the pizzeria in question by police for filming a child’s birthday party. Running with the major theme of the hour — that Antifa is definitely, certainly, really real despite all evidence to the contrary, and that everybody needs to stop saying it’s not real — Posobiec made a startling claim: Antifa is so clearly real that it “has been going on for almost 100 years ... going back to the Weimar Republic in Germany.”

And look, yes, it is absolutely true that there were anti-fascist protesters in the Weimar Republic. If you’ll remember, those were the people taking issue with the early versions of the Nazis. But it’s sort of difficult to position yourself as the good guys if you’re aligning yourself with the Nazis in your historical analogy. I’m just saying that, if I was Posobiec’s publicity guy, I might ask him to drop that soundbite from future public appearances.
