Not splitting poles
Not putting my purse on the floor
You sweep my feet I’m spitting on the broom.

House speaker denies request for Rev. Jesse Jackson to lie in honor at U.S. Capitol The late Rev. Jesse Jackson will not lie in honor in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda after the request was denied by the House speaker’s office due to past precedent.

So MAGA Christian Mike Johnson lied. It’s not about precedent, he doesn’t want to, he can’t be made to do it. Now the question is why doesn’t he want to, and we know why.

a woman is laying on a bed with her arms outstretched and a girl is standing behind her . Alt: a woman is laying on a sofa with her arms outstretched, giving the thumbs down while blowing a raspberry, and a girl is standing behind her.

This is also about white people’s need to tell Black people how to feel. And they’re gonna try to self-marginalize by hiding behind seven hundred fifty million identities, just so that they can talk to you crazy.
