I don’t fully agree, but I think the implied difference between them accusing Boz of being Dorit’s spokesperson and Garcelle not being Sutton’s when she defends her is that Boz/Dorit have been friends for 5 minutes and Garcelle/Sutton have been friends for years. #RHOBH

Dorit is using Boz because she doesn't want to be seen a racist anymore. And it's honestly so annoying how people can't see it. #RHOBH

I am still invested in the frail and failing democracy that is this country. My enslaved ancestors worked too hard to push my family and others forward. But honestly, I feel like America's FAFO era will hurt not only those who have been despised by the incoming administration, but it's supporters.

Stay with your grief. If you can. It’s more honest. I can attest that a new way forward can also come from staying with grief. I know this ain’t what people are doing over here. But it’s what I am able to do. In a world where truth is under assault, staying with what is true matters. That is all.

Yep, same (and technically, if I think about my bio dad, the child of one)... the electoral postmortem has been absurd. I haven't turned on a single cable news show since Election Night.
How are Black people "Democratic elites" who don't care about the economy, the working class, and the poor? SMH.

Suddenly, the grandchildren of sharecroppers and the great-grandchildren of those lynched and relegated to chain gangs are "coastal elites" playing "identity politics." None of us are working class today, or grew up that way!

I’ll just say it: I think it’s a real problem that the leading media voices of liberalism come from the school of wonky “let’s noodle through all of this” thought and not more of a regular, street warfare mindset. It models a style of behavior totally inadequate for our time.

And, likewise, retrenchment, I think, may look less like the midnight-knock-at-the-door police state that people tend to envision when they use words like fascist, but something more like the democracy in name only that was the pre-1965 South.

One thing I think people talking about the threat of authoritarian creep have gotten, if not exactly wrong, not quite right either is to frame discussion in terms of various European precedents.
Those are relevant to be sure, but we also have an American precedent - namely the South before 1965.

Course changes at the University of North Texas’ college of education included removing words such as “race,” “gender,” “class” and “equity” from titles and descriptions
‘Race,’ ‘equity’ removed from UNT course titles to comply with Texas DEI ban, faculty say
The University of North Texas changed class titles and descriptions with some citing the state’s DEI ban though officials deny that’s the cause.

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky
