Also, don’t know how ”covert” this is since we all know about it.

Remember when the CIA used to just do things and the only people who knew about it was a couple of old guys in the barbershop?

I used to work with Warmack back in the day!

Can’t wait to read this!

Anyone puzzling with Afropessimism needs to read this brilliant rejoinder: Andrea Warmack's "afroskepticism" that focuses not on the edge between life and non-life, but on the challenge of *intervening* in a racist world.

Everyone needs to read it and cite it. Andrea is brilliant

Even this morning I don’t want to see Donald’s face on tv, so i turned from morning news to 1989’s BATMAN.

If I have to see an unserious man terrorize an American city, at least let me see him played by Jack Nicholson.

María Corina Machado put me in a bad mood yesterday with this. It is way too much ass kissing in the world. It’s also too many people who think everything is about them. I personally do not like either of these “types”.
