I don’t fully agree, but I think the implied difference between them accusing Boz of being Dorit’s spokesperson and Garcelle not being Sutton’s when she defends her is that Boz/Dorit have been friends for 5 minutes and Garcelle/Sutton have been friends for years. #RHOBH

Dorit is using Boz because she doesn't want to be seen a racist anymore. And it's honestly so annoying how people can't see it. #RHOBH

I am still invested in the frail and failing democracy that is this country. My enslaved ancestors worked too hard to push my family and others forward. But honestly, I feel like America's FAFO era will hurt not only those who have been despised by the incoming administration, but it's supporters.

Everything went downhill when they stopped letting Don Lemon get drunk on NYE

I mean, they're just cementing Luigi's legend, frankly. This is the BACK cover of the mixtape.

I'M SAYING.

This is the opposite of what you supposed to do with these ppl!! Luigi look like he in a Scorsese flick.

This shit cinematic as hell. This gonna fck around and radicalize some folks.

As promised, I’m starting my new series today to help us all have a better understanding of propaganda and how to identify it. I will drop these on Monday afternoons and am open to your suggestions on... TikTok video by Valese J

We will all be made so much weaker and so much stupider and so much less human in a world where only the offspring of billionaires are granted the leisure of thinking about anything more than survival

We seem to be quickly reverting back to a time when you needed to be ultra-rich to even consider going to college to study anything other than basic practical job-training.

Congratulations!!!

Stay with your grief. If you can. It’s more honest. I can attest that a new way forward can also come from staying with grief. I know this ain’t what people are doing over here. But it’s what I am able to do. In a world where truth is under assault, staying with what is true matters. That is all.

Yep, same (and technically, if I think about my bio dad, the child of one)... the electoral postmortem has been absurd. I haven't turned on a single cable news show since Election Night.

How are Black people "Democratic elites" who don't care about the economy, the working class, and the poor? SMH.

Suddenly, the grandchildren of sharecroppers and the great-grandchildren of those lynched and relegated to chain gangs are "coastal elites" playing "identity politics." None of us are working class today, or grew up that way!

This country's always been absurd. This is just the latest chapter of it.

I’ll just say it: I think it’s a real problem that the leading media voices of liberalism come from the school of wonky “let’s noodle through all of this” thought and not more of a regular, street warfare mindset. It models a style of behavior totally inadequate for our time.

I think adults should get a personal pan pizza for reading books too

And, likewise, retrenchment, I think, may look less like the midnight-knock-at-the-door police state that people tend to envision when they use words like fascist, but something more like the democracy in name only that was the pre-1965 South.

One thing I think people talking about the threat of authoritarian creep have gotten, if not exactly wrong, not quite right either is to frame discussion in terms of various European precedents.

Those are relevant to be sure, but we also have an American precedent - namely the South before 1965.

Octavia Butler being a time traveler or seer, will forever be a hill I'm willing to die on, because there's just no way. Parable of The Sower was published in 1993. Look at this date. #BlackBookSky #BookSky

‘Race,’ ‘equity’ removed from UNT course titles to comply with Texas DEI ban, faculty say The University of North Texas changed class titles and descriptions with some citing the state’s DEI ban though officials deny that’s the cause.

Course changes at the University of North Texas’ college of education included removing words such as “race,” “gender,” “class” and “equity” from titles and descriptions

No, the Democratic Party Can't "Message Better" to Racism, Misogyny, and Ignorance Let's stop pretending

This election result isn't about Dem messaging.

Kamala Harris and Tim Walz formed a balanced ticket filled with character, intellect, and genuine love for this country, and they delivered their vision beautifully and eloquently.

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky
