White people clamoring for the Obamas, I have a real question: do you look around and see how it’s *only y’all* with this expectation?

Lately, I experience a little frisson of excitement each time an Apple News Alert pings. And, I think, “Today could be the day.”

The NYPD has 33,000 officers
There are 22,000 ice agents in all of ice. They can't take over the country. They don't have nearly the manpower. They're going into suburbs and getting harassed and yelled at and told to get the fuck out. This is all done for fear and PR. Typical republican immigration boogeyman shit.

Admitting that you need to have your taint tickled to feel motivated at the ballot box? In this environment? You’d have to kill me first. And, yet, here you are all.
In a democracy, you don’t get to outsource hope, or excitement, or god forbid “messaging. Each citizen bears that responsibility for themselves.

Louisiana has refused to reconsider the convictions of 1,000+ mostly Black men sentenced by split juries, despite the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 2020 that such convictions are unconstitutional and based on an inherently racist law.

When you say "I won't vote for Newsom over Vance" you think you're saying "Gavin Newsom is bad, let's not nominate him." But you aren't.
You're saying "JD Vance is not that bad. Trump is not that bad. They're normal, they're fine. If they win again, it's fine."
You are supporting Trump.

a poll taken last week had Kamala Harris 18 points ahead of Newsom, in pretty much every poll she leads often by a lot, its a long way away but the idea that Newsom is the nominee in waiting is not based on any reality and seems to be most dearly held by people who claim not to want him.

She’s a very nuanced and intentional communicator. She is saying what she means. You can either accept that she moves with a lot of latent anti-Blackness, or not. I choose not to.
I’m really tired of AOC. She’s been in this game long enough for us to no longer pretend she needs *education* on the way she speaks about race.

(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: “THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.
