We were correct 92%ers. Never dismiss our intuition and instincts.

Racism and apathy gave us Trump.

Dem darling showered with Miriam Adelson-linked money A group funded by Adelson was the biggest donor to James Talarico’s campaign last year.

As far as I’m concerned. There will be two Republicans running for Texas Senate. Pick your poison. I’m not turning anyone. Just expressing my views.

But keep your darling. He never cared to win my vote anyway…now I have a better understanding why.

Voter’s β€œdid it again!!” They voted for Talarico and his biggest donor is an Israeli billionaire Republican named Mariam Adelson. I also did a quick google search. It’s all right there, in our faces. Smh. Also, articles from last summer. πŸ™ƒπŸ«

Honestly, at this point it’s reconciling myself to a very harsh reality that this society just doesn’t get it. And because of the massive gap in lived experiences I have a hard time articulating to get even you, an β€œally” to understand how crushing and devastating this moment feels to Black women.

She’ll be okay. I don’t doubt it. But I’m reconciling myself to a very harsh reality that this society just doesn’t get it. And because of the massive gap in lived experiences I have a hard time articulating to get even our β€œallies” to understand how devastating this moment feels to Black women.

And you keep telling yourself that Black women, and Black folks in general, don’t have valid reasons to suspect the motivations of non-Black people in this country.

I think what’s pissed me off the most wasn’t even MAGA folks who were coming at me. It was DEMOCRATS who were mad that I was supporting and campaigning for Crockett. And the masks (*coughs* Hoods) came off for a good majority of those folks.

So, Democrat is not synonymous for ally anymore.

At this point. It’s been made very clear Black women in particular are not a valued group to anyone in this country if I’m going by actions. And I’m tired. I’ve voted, advocated, knocked doors, and have been told we need to wait our turn 43 years. I’m done. Y’all got this.

The base are the people who go out in the rain and the snow and the heat and vote consistently without having to be entertained, persuaded, cajoled etc. to the polls.

Not too many on your list meet that criteria:

No. But I personally didn’t like Allred.

I’m really struggling to imagine Congress without Rep Jasmine Crockett next year. We need more fighters, not fewer.

04.03.2026 17:17 β€” πŸ‘ 4186    πŸ” 567    πŸ’¬ 350    πŸ“Œ 41

They prefer β€œsafer” candidates it would seem. Not fighters.

You will always have my support. But beyond you it will have to be earned. And I mean that. It’s clear too many of our β€œallies” have become too reliant on Black voters just falling in line after they’ve spit and played in our face. Allies, am I right?

When pressed they ALWAYS ultimately tell on themselves. Who needs allies like this, am I right?

Just repeating what YOUR allies told me. You’re right. We are better off knowing exactly where we stand. Perspective is Clarity.

I’ll continue to support Crockett until she leaves office in January. I’ll be sad to see her leave.

But Talarico and his supporters have made very clear they don’t need 92%ers/Black voters to win. They have the numbers with just White and Hispanics voters.

So…thoughts & prayers.

Well, you have the demographic numbers on your side. The White and Hispanic voters…

Best of luck.

I’ve been hearing for months that they don’t need the 92%ers and Black voters to win this. Because they have the numbers with crossover moderate Republicans and Christian Nationalists who they can compromise with.

I voted for Crockett.

So the only thing I have for Talarico is… Thoughts & Prayers

If Talarico loses the general, I can already see think pieces blaming the loss on Crockett and Black voters somehow πŸ˜’

Human trafficking isn’t a distant crime. It’s here. In our cities, online, and inside systems that protect power while the vulnerable are exploited. Human beings are not commodities. If we want a future worth living in, this trade has to end.

Something in me told me to be prepared for this moment. This feeling. But that doesn't make it hurt any less when the weight of disappointment/betrayal(?) hits you.

If you feel the same quiet pull I do to move with more intention in this next chapter, I invite you to read it and walk through these questions with me.
