Liberal feminism made it possible for women to be in the workplace

So, were asserting in a column in a national paper (at which a lot of women work) the very presence of women ruined the workplace? 🤔

Like how did this get past anyone?

Worth mentioning, one helluva journey for Senator Ghazala Hashmi, elected in 2019 to the Virginia Senate, inspired to run for office because of Trump’s travel ban against majority Muslim countries.

After tonight, she will be the 1st Muslim woman elected to to statewide office in the United States

Okay since Amanda Marcotte is demonstrating white fragility by blocking everyone for telling her she should re-examine her understanding of conservatives and how they played with racism, misogyny, and homophobia even in the 1990s.🙃Here’s what I responded to:

Alright. EYE would like to speak with the management.

I could handle David Frum, Bill Kristol, and EVEN…. Karl Rove *wince* agreeing with us.

But what alternative timeline of the multiverse did I walk into that TUCKER FREAKING CARLSON agrees with us?!!

It was a great treat to see Robert Redford in person, at the premiere for the Old Man and the Gun, his last film before retiring from acting.

Yes he was gorgeous, but as a movie lover, grateful for Redford’s
investment in independent film & directors through Sundance

Rest in peace. Job well done

Girl I saw this and about had to check outside to confirm pigs were not in fact flying

This, this right here, is how you headline.

As a matter of fact, Democrats should just incorporate this into their anti tariff talking points pronto

This country decided Kamala Harris was “not the leadership the world needs” and she she left 🤷🏾‍♀️

Obama gave 8 yrs and folks singing like a 2000s Boy Band for him to come back.

Folks dragged Harris to hell in ways you don’t drag Hillary Clinton. She still stepped up but and now y’all want her back? 😒

All the major tech heads ( TikTok, Google, Meta, Amazon)

I read Bill Gates had a long meeting with Trump and said he was “frankly impressed”

Nelly, Snoop and below Oscar DeLaRenta’s shop custom designing for Usha Vance.

The rush to normalize this time around… should put everyone on notice

Been off social media for a while with projects.

But worth coming back for this momentous day!!

This graphic illustrates perfectly why the “economy is great because unemployment is low” messaging is not landing with most Millennials, Gen Z, and particularly Black and brown voters

They may have jobs, but them jobs wages ain’t covering a whole lot in most places 🤷🏾‍♀️

So the one day I have meetings all afternoon, the GOP finally elected a speaker…

a guy from Shreveport, Louisiana named Mike Johnson who is best known as the dude who is the “the most important architect” of the House efforts to overturn 2020 election results…
October 25, 2023 at 7:59 PM
Absolutely TF NOT

Just because the GOP is unreasonable you tryna to put this on the Democrats who are not in the majority to fix?

Oh F alllllllll the waaaaay OFF

For those who haven’t been following along, Virginia’s entire legislature is up for election in November.

Virginia is also the LAST Southern state that has legal abortion access. Susanna Gibson’s district is one important for Dems to win so the GOP decided to use revenge porn as a tactic

Interesting update after the second roll call vote on Jim Jordan as US House Speaker below:

Man, some of his colleagues really hate him. 😂
October 18, 2023 at 8:22 PM
From one journalist reporting out on Congress… not only does Scalise not have the votes

Some think ain’t nobody gonna get the votes for Speaker

*lolsob* this is our Congress when the GOP has control now.. they can’t even organize themselves out of a bag to govern

Well played. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

This SCOTUS unsurprisingly strikes down affirmative action in admissions, 6-3 and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has some things to say about it 🔥🔥

Wheeeeeww. Tina Turner passed away at age 83. She was the blueprint. Everytime you see a woman on stage dancing & singing her heart out perfectly in heels looking fab? That’s Tina.

I remember her saying she still struggled with PTSD from domestic violence. May she now rest easy with the ancestors

Whew…. Emily's opinion is reflective of commentary I've heard too often from older Gen Xer & Boomer women esp. who are white.

And they are wrong. Guess who is (and has been)holding up the abortion funds in the states? Younger women esp. young BIPOC women.
