And if the GOP were not afraid of Jasmine Crockett, they wouldn't have messed with polling locations in Black areas. Black folks aren't going to forget this. At this point, as the other communities are getting their asses kicked by Trump, I wish all Black politicians would stay silent. They got this

THIS RIGHT HERE! Where are the white allies now that Black people are being prohibited from voting in Dallas County? Where are you voting. Now the Texas Supreme Court has paused the extension. Votes for people who showed up after 7PM are being put aside. WHERE ARE YOU?
BLACK PEOPLE HAVE NO ALLIES!

Kelly hasn't looked healthy in a minute...I think she replaced one addiction (drugs) with multiple others (dieting, surgery).

We're no more than a few hours away from the next phase of digital propaganda: unverified videos of "liberated people celebrating" will go viral. Many of these videos will later be revealed to have predated the illegal war, or be entirely unrelated to current events

Upshot: verify before amplifying

If you think the bots are bad here head on over to Instagram and look on every post about what's going on in Iran. You'll find dozens and hundreds and thousands of accounts talking about how this was done so there are no midterm elections. We're in a really bad place.

I think it's telling that it's a bunch a
white folks in your comments
centering your discomfort. I have no
doubt deconstructing is painful. But it
will never compare to the pain your
actions have caused for marginalized
people in this country. I'm of the mind
better late than never but our actions
have consequences. And sometimes
those consequences cannot be
undone with a simple "I messed up." if
you set my house on fire, there's no
way in hell I'm letting you step foot in
the new home I'm building. And I
certainly won't be consoling you once
it sets in that you're not invited in. it's
clear you're hurting but I can't see
your tears as anything other than a self
centered performance.

#ADHDJourney, Day 99. I have been struggling w a sense of dysphoria for about 3 weeks now. I've been struggling w motivation even more than usual. Maybe it's bc of the weather--I have seasonal affective disorder. Still, I'm determined to push through and be productive today. Working on my to-do list

This is one of the most absorbing--and disturbing--works if literature I've ever read.

It was oddly inspiring, though. I spent a lot of time researching survivalist after I read it.
