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?

Imagine claiming he's on his way to the presidency AFTER knowing the racist comment he made against Allred. People like Paul is why Black voters cannot depend on you to do the right thing and don't trust white voters, left and right. Just fuck us huh? As always, racism is not your deal breaker
If you missed James Talarico on Lawrence O'Donnell tonight, DVR the rerun or catch it online. If he wins the primary and then the Senate seat, I have no doubt he is on his way to the Presidency in the next 20 years. He was extraordinarily impressive. 💯💯💯

Good morning.
Just a friendly reminder that at no point in American history have white Christians, let alone white people, as a large collective, ever been behind social justice and meaningful racial progress. You may want to understand why because those reasons are why we are here now.

There have been two years of approximately 99 million libelous lists falsely accusing everyone who likes Dems of supporting genocide, and @support.bsky.team leaves them all up, yet they block one of the very few lists attempting to address the rampant antisemitism on this app.
So somebody didn't like my "people who use zionist as a slur at me when I'm talking about literally anything else" list and Bluesky has blocked it from your view.

When the lawyers said the memos had problems, they were told to ignore them anyway because the admin doesn't care what the law says.
