I'll try to post here more, but for my videos, head to Substack at www.bookersquared.com. The time constraint for videos on here makes it hard to post my video content, but you can access all of my videos there for free. I also post articles.

It was a gem of a discussion in the middle of chaos!

Idk if y'all can see what I quoted now that she blocked me, but she tried to insult digital creators/media and then said I couldn't pick out Lauren Underwood in a line up. Weird behavior.

Try again, Kerry, ya weirdo.

Then you should leave my page. I'm a digital creator, and that clearly bugs you, pumpkin.

Elizabeth Booker Houston @bookersquared.bsky.social · Mar 25

Seriously, what is with the white people in my replies today?

Why are you putting work in quotes? Do you not value digital media, sugar foot?

Elizabeth Booker Houston @bookersquared.bsky.social · Mar 25

In 2016, she was a child. In 2020, she was pro-Biden.

Elizabeth Booker Houston @bookersquared.bsky.social · Mar 25

Nope, I'm not even in Illinois. Those of us who have worked with Kat at Democratic events are just excited for her, and we are trying to show support for someone who we respect and whose work we value.

So you don't follow Aaron Parnas' breaking news either?

Elizabeth Booker Houston @bookersquared.bsky.social · Mar 25

This proves exactly what I said. She was a minor (and unable to vote) the first time Trump was elected. By the time she got to college, she learned how shitty Republican politics are. By the time she was 20, this is the kind of work she did. She has never voted for Trump nor campaigned for him.

She's Palestinian, first of all. Second of all, she was very publicly supporting Biden and fighting against GOP disinformation about COVID-19. I'm really not sure where you are getting your info from, but dropping a link may help. Especially since the pic on this post is 11 years old.

My hope (and expectation) is that she will lean into the kind of messaging that she does in her longer form content. She has a talent for talking about law and policy in an accessible way. Her Project 2025 videos were very good. But I agree, typical influencer style stuff won't win elections.

Elizabeth Booker Houston @bookersquared.bsky.social · Mar 25

Great question! Yes, because I also tour and do shows in public several times per week, unlike someone who only does digital content, I get a physical representation of who I mobilize to act offline. The vast majority is Black women b/t the ages of 30 and 60.

Elizabeth Booker Houston @bookersquared.bsky.social · Mar 25

That's understandable. I just typically don't see folks associated with those outlets go anywhere near the right, so ideologically, I was just surprised to see her painted as a Republican in disguise. She doesn't give me Lindy Li vibes at all (IYKYK).

Well look, Lisa, something we agree on. I say the same thing about him, and I honestly didn't expect you to have this take.

Elizabeth Booker Houston @bookersquared.bsky.social · Mar 25

Great, just like a Democratic leader represents their constituents, I represent my audience. My audience voted at 92%. I successfully did my job. Who are you analyzing next?

Google is free. I watched the videos, and she and I were hired for some of the same campaigns combating Trump and Project 2025.

I don't care to listen to anyone who sits here and aligns with an account who has called me out of my name, including calling me a bitch, for no reason. The way you and your group treat Black women is disgusting.

Elizabeth Booker Houston @bookersquared.bsky.social · Mar 25

Yeah, I'm actually quite shocked by the vitriol of me just saying, "Hey, I worked with her. She is a known progressive." Folks at Medias Touch, Mother Jones, and other progressive outlets even expressed excitement at her running, so I didn't think she was a controversial figure in this space.

I've got about 1 million followers across platforms and am one of the top progressive Black content creators and commentators. I work with Congressional Black Caucus. So this weird thing where you keep trying to call me a white Republican woman to excuse things like calling me a "bitch" won't work.

I don't get my lessons of history of queer liberation from white people. Especially because white people like to use queerness as a shield when called out on their lack of racial intersectionality.

No, Becky is short for "Rebecca." You know that though because you called me a white woman several times. You know exactly what you were doing by calling me that, and it's weird af since I am visibly and obviously Black. Again, get help. Weird.
