This is my analysis of James Malone situation here in #LancasterCounty.

“James Malone, the Democratic candidate for State Senate who recently aligned himself with this bill. This is about the bill itself, and the sickness at the heart of any politics that traffics in cruelty to score points.”

John Maina of Lancaster, Pa delivering a speech at the Peoples March in downtown Lancaster today.

Lancaster, we marched. It was the Peoples March. Today is not the beginning of the end. But the beginning of a necessary change in our approach to progress. We must strategize to advance and advocate for our neighbors in this new world. That was the message delivered. #womensmarch #lancasterpa

2/Black players make up 50 percent of all athletes. While the Head Coaching pool is only 12 percent black. Needless to say there have been historic barriers for becoming a coach as a black person. It’s ok to acknowledge this kind of stuff. It’s progress. And that is always ok to celebrate. #CFP

1/ College Football has been played for over 150 years. If Marcus Freeman or James Franklin wins a national championship that is a big deal. And it is ok to celebrate that. That is literal black history.

#WeAre Penn State is onto the semifinals!

Merry Christmas to my new Bluesky family here!

Show me you in a hat 🧢

I had some time to sleep on this. The Tom Allen hate is probably due to high emotions. Oregon is a better team than us right now. They are also objectively faster. Years past, faster teams always beat Penn State down. We are so close it hurts. And it's okay to fall down today. #PennState #WeAre

Me and my friends celebrating a reunion at the station house tavern in Lancaster Pa.

That's a win! #Eagles #FlyEaglesFly #Philly #Philadelphia #NFL

Hell of a run!

My son and I at our first Penn State football game in Beaver Stadium in the 2022 season. Penn State is heading to the Big 10 Championship in Indianapolis this coming weekend. #WeAre #PennState #CFB

7/ It’s time to broaden our understanding of the working class. It is time to scrutinize this notion. The GOP has rampant class issues. They aren’t a pro-worker. They are pro-owners. It is time to
Stop conflating the idea that Senator Sanders’s loss in 16 ended all hope for the working class.

6/ Anyone who believes that the democrats have driven the working class away are inadvertently perpetuating a flawed assumption that the White working poor are the only group that matters. This is how white supremacy reinforces itself.

5/ Are Black Americans, who overwhelmingly vote Democratic, not working class? Suggesting that Democrats have lost touch with the working class ignores this key demographic and their stances on unions and wages.

4/ Democrats remain pro-union and advocate for workers’ rights. This hasn’t changed. Party leadership demographics have.

3/ This group, the white working poor has often remained neutral or indifferent to the struggles of other marginalized communities, despite the irony that their grievances—such as job loss due to
trade deals and industry shifts/—stem from policies championed by the modern GOP.

2/ What Democrats have lost over the years is the White working poor vote—a group that has consistently voted against its own economic interests over the last 40 years.

1/ The narrative that “Democrats have lost the working class” is both inaccurate and intellectually lazy. It often ties back to the idea that if Senator Sanders had won in 2016, the country would be better off.

Crazy Taxi was such a good concept for a game. It’s all in the title. You’re mentally ill, and you own a taxi. Sign me up.

Ain’t nothing micro about a microaggression.

Lancaster County Pa initial unemployment claim data for November 16, 2024. Lancaster County is 4 percent black. But the initials unemployment claims last week were more than double black representation.

Lancaster County Pa Continious Unemployment data for November 16, 2024. Numbers are double the representation of the black population. This is a grave concern. #blacksky #LancasterPa

Lancaster is 4% Black, but Black residents made up 8% of recent layoffs and 10% of long-term unemployment claims last week.

This is a crisis. Black unemployment impacts families, communities, and Lancaster’s economy.

What are we prepared to do about it?

I think its crazy to assume James Franklin’s job was on the line. But whatever. #PennState has made the next step. Winning tough contested away games was never a given before. It took 10 years but the progress is there.

Someone called this mass exodus from Twitter ‘the fall of the Broman Empire’ and I died laughing. 💀
