Watched the Sean Combs doc. Apart from all the obvious terribleness, which I sort of knew a bit about already, I hadn’t realised that Tupac was so dreadful…
And then I went down a rabbithole, only to discover that Ma$e, whose Harlem World album I quite liked when I was much, much younger, is MAGA ☹️

I have the utmost respect for Senator Kaine and Senator Warner but we do not need “coaching” on redistricting coming from a cuck chair in the corner. How about you all stay focused on the fascist in the White House and let us handle redistricting in Virginia. 10-1

They effectively spat in the face of a proven leader, thinking the consequences would never effect them. Now look at where we are.
Any one of us could be detained for hours by ICE despite being a U.S. citizen.
Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night.
Any one of us could be the next to be brutalized by ICE for speaking out.
Authoritarianism hurts all of us.
