Y'all remember when Maxine Waters said a motherfucker she'd never heard of was tryna get her to leave her office on 1/6/2021? She said she just stayed there until she was certain she could leave. I think about that a lot.

One of the reasons I am so insistent that everyone remember that only 22% of the US population voted for Trump is that the Christian Nationalists want the myth of a mandate in circulation.

We need to reject it. They never had a mandate, and their coalition is shrinking.
The new NYT poll finds Trump 17 points underwater on immigration, and the nonwhite and young voters who went to Trump in 2024 have snapped back to Dems

It's almost as if 2024 might not have represented a seismic cultural realignment on immigration after all, despite 1,000 NYT op eds to the contrary

Strenously agree with this
There is no pre-Trump world to which we can return. That has all been washed away.

And there is no near future that is not defined by him and the cataclysm of his rule.

the racist haters of minneapolis are loud but crucially: sooooo many of the don’t even live in minnesota much less mpls
ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.”

it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.

Tressie McMillan Cottom has talked about part of the reason the right has targeted certain sectors/industries, is punishing Black women for radicalizing white women, and I think there’s a freight train full of truth in that.

Rest in power to Keith Porter who was murdered by an ICE agent in Los Angeles.

It is badass when Bloch, adding to this, says that the hope he has in mind is not naive optimism but a desire for an improved future informed by detailed analysis of the balance of forces in the present and “warmed” by “love for the victims, and hatred of exploiters.”

People outside of America like to see it as "all Black Americans do is complain" but don't even want to have a scrap of empathy when you realize Black Americans keep doing their best to combat a system that continues to silence and disenfranchise them constantly. These people are not listening.
