All this talk about the Black Panthers when you can join the NAACP right now.
Is it about change or do you just want to wear a leather jacket?

It keeps blowing me that people are calling Heated Rivalry low budget. Like TV didn't used to think blowing 400 million for 8 episodes was fiancially healthy, what is wrong with people. These new psychotic trends are not norms that require maintaining.

"You can embrace the warm and fuzzy negro fairytale of the Baptist preacher who changed America w peace, love and a few sermon-like speeches, or you can see the truth: Martin Luther King Jr. was a woke, critical race theorist who fought against wealth inequality while demanding reparations and DEI."
From the beginning of the civil rights era until the day he died, MLK reserved one speech almost exclusively for Black audiences.
It was literally about staying "woke."
It was literally about staying "woke."
Everyone Claims to Know 'What MLK Would Have Wanted.' He Actually Told Black People.
What if I told you that Martin Luther King Jr. talked about diversity, critical race theory and staying "woke" more than anything else?

If you want better policy, elect more Democrats. Every race, every year, every place. This dumbass solution is the only one that works.
The advanced version is "also, elect better Dems whenever you can". It requires holding two ideas in your head at the same time so many struggle with it

The VA senate got to these today, and all passed as expected
Abortion rights: 21-18
Post-incarceration voting rights: 21-18
Gay marriage: 26-13
Redistricting: 21-18
April 21st is the first eligible Tuesday, so that’s my guess for referendum EDay

Think the earliest referendum Election Day would be April 21, so early voting would start in early March

I chose not to look up anything about the new Wuthering Heights adaptation because the lead casting is atrocious and I do not like that woman's movies, but I have now learned that Shazad Latif is in the film, and he should have been Heathcliff, sigh, so much sighing.

It's a macro example of what's going on inside the country. The US finally expanded from terrorizing Black and brown people in the Global South to terrorizing their white neighbors. Only one of these things is a problem for the broader population.

The complicated reality is there are 3 things happening simultaneously:
-Trump preternaturally understands the ebb and flow of the media and does perform for it
-His inner circle is in a mad dash to turn the US into a fascist ethnostate

Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

Koh: Trump has now spent $30 billion from the last bill for 10,000 more I.C.E. Agents that are going to be on the streets. That $30 billion would cover all the ACA subsidies for a year. It would eliminate all co-pays for prescription drugs for people from a year, and eliminate all medical debt.

I just want it to be really clear, to people from out of the area, if they see pictures of fires in Minneapolis: THEY WERE STARTED BY ICE. NOT BY PROTESTERS. NOT BY RESIDENTS.
So not only are they shooting our citizens they are setting the city on fire. #MFD did respond. Someone get an Air Quality check in #Minneapolis with the volume of Flash Bangs & Chemical Irritants.
🚨BREAKING: Multiple fires have broken after ICE unleashed ANOTHER ONSLAUGHT of flash bang grenades and chemical gas at unarmed Minneapolis protesters in WAR-LIKE attack. LIVE NOW ⬇️
