jesse jackson was constantly played as a punchline on 90s late-night TV to the point that i didn't understand his history of activism and serious left-leaning political platform until i was much older. i have to think, to some degree, that was on purpose.

Jesse being made out to be a joke was absolutely an effort done in part to establish Clinton-era politics as the “normal” political philosophy for marginalized folks in this country

Civil rights figures like Jesse Jackson are why black feminists are theorized intersectionality: he might have forged a multi-racial coalition but black woman weren’t always in that coalition. Complicated man, complicated politics.
i think jesse jackson was one of the most important american political figures of the post-war era and i think that his 1984 and 1988 campaigns for the democratic nomination still have a great deal to teach about forging a path to a more egalitarian world. RIP.

Jesse Jackson's '88 DNC speech specifically called for DC statehood, equal pay for women, universal day and date voter registration. Among other things. But that's sticking to my ribs.

The idea that woke 2 tolerates a figure like platner and his Nazi tattoos fundamentally misunderstands the woke 2 project, which is about being woke but also mean about it

It starts & ends with Nazi tattoo. But this! But that! No buts. No Nazis. If you capitulate to giving Nazis power you open the gates for a world of harm from them. Use your brains & don’t be weak asses.

I'm sure we've all seen the graphic that lays out the United States ' relationship with slavery. It's good, but I never thought it was quite impactful enough. So I made my own.

I've used a few key events, including my birth, to highlight how recent these events are in history.

Self medication is valid.
Insurance isn’t available to everyone. It’s also high as fuck. Having it doesn’t mean you can automatically afford prescribed meds or care. Our healthcare system is biased and inadequate especially when it comes to mental health, chronic illness and disability.

The Democrats like to take advantage of a confusion btwn people who vote for them and the party itself, a confusion emerging from the history of mass popular party formations which at least gestured toward and approximated participatory planning, political shaping and local governance

Withou the active maneuvering and governing of the Democrats Trump would a) never have achieved power in the first place in 2016; b) never have reclaimed power in 2024 and c) have collapsed by now under the rank failure to organize and maintain the state.

Dems are one of the core pillars of MAGA

Voting is the only political leverage you have, which is why you need to promise to give your vote to the first person who says he wants it with no questions asked
