And I worry that one day, I would find out that everything I worked for was also faking it.

So let’s not.

“Change who you appear to be.”

Do it to get better pay and more opportunities. Do this to get a husband. Do this to get a better job. Do this to become more influential.

If you can, sure. Do it. If it gets you what you want.

“You don’t want it bad enough.” I do, just am unable to do all that.

So many people of color who ever attended a majority white college or university or high school could tell you tales about their racist peers or instructors.

It is something we are/have been expected to endure.

Like it is totally tragic that they don't care what white liberals think of them anymore and that the balance of power is such that they are able to do even more of this shit consequence-free but they were always calling us monkeys and hanging nooses at school and getting away with it. that matters.

listen...

you do not have to be smarter than your intimate partner

you dont have to make more than them

or have a greater social status

The purpose of the relationship is not to reinforce your ego

The purpose of the relationship is care

For those tempted to say Young Republicans have always been this way, they really have not. When I worked on campus and did bipartisan college events after, they were very much not like this.

That’s why groups like YCT and eventually TPUSA formed — because Young Republicans weren’t radical enough.

Every now and then I’m like “non-collared shirts and jeans are unprofessional.” “Having a meme for a teams photo is unprofessional”

And then remember I’m a black woman in STEM. It’s already assumed I’m inexperienced and unprofessional. Leaning into respectability doesn’t serve me.

The problem is they won’t notice until the FAFO reaches them and even then, they might blame someone else.

The problem is that we ALSO have to wait until then and experience the repercussions of their ignorance.

We’ve seen several real-time of examples in the current and previous admin of them coddling such people and using them like a puppet and/or a shield against criticism.

(Latinos for Trump anyone?)

Ffs, white women do it ALL THE TIME.

I love how people (mostly white people) keep assuming Usha is unaware and/or unsupportive of those views.

They believe that they’re “one of the good ones” and “different” and they will torpedo literally everything and everyone else in order to convince themselves.

Joe Sudbay @joesudbay.bsky.social · 7h

JD clearly agrees with the Nazis, but do wonder if he works extra hard to coddle and defend them because they really hate marriages like his

Someone should ask Usha how she feels about her husband's views on this (tho no DC reporter with that kind of access would ever)

Radley Balko @radleybalko.bsky.social · 8h

Fascinating. Politico notes that when notified of the texts, many state-level Republicans fired or condemned these cretins. Now Vance emerges to excuse the racism, and calls the reaction to it "pearl clutching."

He seems determined to purge the party of its last enclaves of decency.

His self worth wasn’t tied to income… because he felt great until you made more… his self worth was tied to financial control

Her partner's self-worth was tied directly to his income, and it eroded as her salary grew, Dhatt tells me.
