Tying property taxes to education funding seems more disgusting the more I think about it. Absolutely insidious structural racism there.

I enjoyed this one. Although I'm begging for a glossary/pronunciation guide! 📚💙
if, in this holiday season, you find yourself reflecting on the experience of going home to your family and discovering for the first or the millionth time that you see the world in fundamentally different and irreconcilable ways, perhaps upsettingly so,
i have a book recommendation for you.

I'm so sick of hearing Texas election takes from non-Texans. Texas has a voter turnout problem. A candidate who is radically different from the people we've had to choose from for the past few decades is exactly what we need to energize nonvoters.

Looking for a new potential church home and my choices include:
- The mega (MAGA?) church with a Boomer pastor
- The one with the pastor married to Shaunie from Basketball Wives
- The one with a homophobic message posted to their YouTube
And y'all wonder why people be home on Sundays!

Airports are the worst part of travel because if it's not the grumpy TSA agents, it's the clueless folks with zero spatial or situational awareness. It's like y'all get to that conveyor belt and become deaf, blind and dumb

The way people have been brainwashed into fawning over AI is crazy. It came up at a work event. Everyone else was so amazed by the possibilities. I didn't start on my "it's destroying the Earth" but, just simply stated that it has major quality issues that are being ignored. Blank stares

I'm not justifying my consumption of leftovers to nobody. I know my kitchen practices and what my stomach can handle and I've never gotten sick off of food that I or my family cooked so it just is what it is!

Microsoft Outlook wants to give me AI "insights" into my daily work schedule but can't automatically create a calendar entry from an email registration confirmation. Instead I have to drag and drop a .ics file.

I've come to accept the fact that I'm a cilantro kind of person. The people who like me, love me. The people who don't like me, can't stand my ass 😅 And there's no changing their minds because the things they dislike are my core traits 🤷🏾♀️

Ok, so whatever they do to men's pockets so that simply using them doesn't drag your clothing down to the floor, do that to women's pockets as well. Pocket existence isn't enough, we need pocket equity! -Thanks, Mgt

It's not a coverup, it's happening out in the open and people refuse to get mad about it.
So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

So when I heard Kehlani had a song out called "Folded" I thought it was going to be about something completely different 🥴 Then I listened and was just like why are we folding clothes after kicking somebody out? I'll throw them in a trash bag at best 😂 Needless to say it's not really my jam!

I try to buy asuch as I can from small Black businesses but I consistently run into issues with shipping times. And it seems to only be an issue with those that sell haircare/bath & body products.

Dems have to simplify their message and keep repeating it. E.g., "Republicans have the power to end the shutdown. But they would rather take away your food stamps and healthcare to fund billionaire tax breaks than negotiate with us." It's gotta be something easy to remember and hard to screw up.

Dems should be fielding every question like that, and doing daily press briefings on the GOP failure to govern. It wouldn't hurt to have them on local news either.
MSNBC: Where's the urgency to end this shutdown in Washington?
JEFFRIES: That's a great question. It should be asked of Mike Johnson. Where's the urgency in actually bringing the House back into session? They have canceled votes for the last 6 weeks.
