Black liberals are the true progressives and in the middle of the left.

Black liberals are right between the establishment/centrist dems who will throw us under the bus to maintain status quo with Republicans and the far left anarchists who don’t consider white supremacy in America at all. 🧵

Madame VP has zero fucks left to give. Neither to I or anyone who's had it with the ratfuckers who brought us to the edge of a precipice. Go harass Trump about your imaginary pet issue. Oh right. You know he doesn't GAF so you'll continue to go after the woman whose campaign you sabotaged. FU all.

prices went crazy when barbers started wearing those black gloves

sdy292.bsky.social @sdy292.bsky.social · 8h

$70 for a haircut is unsustainable.
And I don’t believe barbers are getting more business. They’re just doing less volume at a higher rate. Basically working less for the same bread. No hate. It’s a free market. But a working man can’t run $70/wk for a cut

I don’t know if trading will ever start. The bill is so bad because maga refused to negotiate on the bill before it was passed to begin with. Also they don’t want to seat an elected representative because she’s the deciding vote to open the Epstein files.

Imagine claiming the first Black woman was "status quo" (derogatory) when she wasn't but the status quo at the time was democracy, progress and equality. Jfc these idiots.

She wasn’t a status quo candidate when she proposed that caretakers receive governmental assistance so they could care for disabled and elderly people at home.

Stop parroting propaganda and start doing your homework.

That wasn’t a source that directly responded to my point which is why I told you to try again and you couldn’t. You’re a bad faith actor so I didn’t expect more from you anyway.

Jerrel XL @jerrelxl.bsky.social · 2h

They could but they chose the talking point that resonates with the most people. Whole hospitals are being shut down due to this budget. Everyone has a different role bro. Dems in Governorships and Mayorships have a different role. Everything isn’t on powerless Congress. We have a role too

This shutdown is proof that Trump and his MAGA Republicans don’t care about the American people.

They don’t care about federal workers who aren’t receiving paychecks, they don’t care about your flights, and they don’t care about Americans being able to afford health care.

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 5h

The first wave of missed paychecks from the government shutdown is likely to hurt the economy in many communities.

The longer other services remain shut off, the more the shutdown’s effects will spread.

The pain from the government shutdown is about to hit the public

Federal officials are bracing for the worst effects of the ongoing government shutdown to collide with the U.S. economy this week as missed paychecks and the absence billions of dollars of government ...

It’s more than ACA it’s Medicaid cuts as well. Also Congress can’t stop the loss of democracy without the votes to impeach. It’s on state and city officials to take the federal government to court at this point.

Democratic Governors and Mayors are Dems too. The Dems in Congress have one job right now. We’re in a shutdown over a horrendous bill they have to stay on that one issue.

I’m not going to get in his comments like the deranged far left but he does make me cringe at times. Stop with the fake political platitudes like “my friends on the other side”… they are not friends and saying that does not soften the Fox News audience. The other side are white supremacists.

Jeffries on Fox News Sunday: "My friends on other aisle seem to think believe healthcare is an extraneous issue. We don't believe it's an extraneous issue. It's a central issue...the states most affected are all ones Trump won...so this is not a partisan fight. We're fighting for everyday Americans"

No I’m saying white men didn’t have to shift to Trump because white men were already solidly republicans/white supremacists in general. The shift only pertains to Black Men. White men see themselves in trump differently more as the plantation owner anti DEI billionaire not the mafioso hip hop male
