Lmao pointing out I’m white doesn’t make my statement change. Our whiteness does blind us to some degree in one way or another. I can admit that. And it’s my job as a fellow white person to call it out when I see us being ignorant racist bigoted etc.

Just so everyone is clear, the main issue in the Supreme Court voting rights case tomorrow is whether it's racist against white people to enforce the Voting Rights Act.

I'm dead serious. We live in incredibly stupid times.

They voted for racism. Time and time again democrats have tried to get them better access to education and higher paying jobs. They choose racism and bigotry over their own health and wallets. That’s the issue that’s what needs to be discussed & corrected. White folks need to stop letting that slide

I think many purposely avoid thinking it through to justify their true racism and or bigotry. :/ those same people think racism only counts if you use the n word or personally hang someone from a tree. They like the “plausible” deniability.

the same people who warned you about john fetterman are warning you about that dude in Maine. if you want to get duped into another fetterman, by all means continue attacking Janet Mills.

if you'd like a reliable vote for democracy, democratic values, and Mainers, go with a proven track record.
