This is why "progressives" hate Black people.
It's impossible to win the presidential primary & primaries in certain states/CDs without strong support from Black voters.
They hide behind code words like neoliberal, BlueMAGA & "establishment," but like in 2020, they eventually show their true colors.
Yep. These folks and their bigotry is not going to stress me out. Hatred is bad for the skin, bad for your health.

Actually, you ARE assuming. You assumed I hadn't read her book. I read her book the weekend it came out.
I know how one's perception of things can change from the publication of a book and months after its release having agented a few books.
But, I also know where Black women are NOW.
My sisters, maintain your peace on Wednesday. β€οΈππΎβ€οΈβπΎ.
It is not worth your energy, frustration or time.
They don't own our struggle and.can no longer co-opt our labor. Pour into yourselves, let self preservation be your protest.
This is assuming she wants it. Why anyone would think she would want to run again in this country after how Dems literally scapegoated her after 2024 is insane "majority" thinking! It's also the reason Michelle Obama would never...

WATCH β @senpeterwelch walks through a no-bid $143,000,000 contract that went to @KristiNoemβs spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlinβs husbandβs company that had just been formed.
She should be impeached for this outrageous scandal alone.
Yet itβs barely a blip in this corrupt regime.
Sec of State doesn't handle that in TX, it's actually the local precincts that do
There's a lot of reporting on how they screwed that up. It isn't on the candidates.
Another reminder of why I had to overcome back home to Connecticut.

Billionaires don't want billions bc they want a luxurious, happy life. That's not what billions buys. Exquisite luxury for life is what $100M buys.
Billions buy something very different: Control over other people.
The wealth tax is an issue of fundamental freedom and functional democracy.

Texas is close to not being a functioning democracy
Itβs the hardest place to vote because Republicans have put impediments in place based on totally bogus vote fraud concerns - that they just make up
The courts have become complicit in this effort
What weβre seeing in Texas now is a disgrace
That's been what I'm most bothered by. A good chunk of the identity politics leftists would LOVE to continue to ignore racism politically while Republicans lean in on it politically.

Why are so many people acting like any of this is normal?
2 hours of voting ballots are being held and probably wonβt be counted.
People literally had their right to cast their vote taken away and alleged democrats are taking victory laps because Black Voters were disenfranchised?
Why should they do more work for him in the general than he did to get their votes in the primary? I listen to Black talk radio and A LOT of Black Texans have been calling for months asking him to do as more outreach to them. They felt he did more to reach Independents and disaffected Republicans.
04.03.2026 05:44 β π 34 π 1 π¬ 2 π 0White Texans, it is WILD that Black people are saying "ok, we hear you, we will vote for you, but we aren't going to be doing the voter outreach" and y'all are taking it as "they said they won't vote and want us to fail". Your expectation of Black labor is doing a LOT of heavy lifting here.
