Elon is a punk, give me twitter or give me M&M’s. VOTE BLUE, cause the other side are fascists. Racism & bigotry won again, but good trouble coming for pay back
INTERESTING. "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." ~ Lyndon B. Johnson
Was using DeepSeek to get some help as apparently one does these days, and after some startling good advice I asked should I say atta boy, atta girl, or Atta Bot. Bot agreed Atta Bot is perfect and I want copyright and trademark protection going forward. You heard it here first!
I agree with this take. Modern America, in a very fundamental way, is the product of Reconstruction and the Civil Rights era, in all its failures and successes. The America that exists prior to it, one that tolerated slavery and selective enforcement of large swaths of its laws, is dead and buried.
We cannot undo the Civil War and the choices we made in the long process of bringing the nation back together. To do so will rip the nation apart again. The project to invalidate the Reconstruction Amendments and the Civil Rights laws that followed is a project of American annihilation.
The fact that a large swath of conservatives and legal scholars do not see how clearly their course of action will lead to the end of America is genuinely frightening.
@DrainedTheSwamp@NormOrnstein Yes it is quite unthinkable that someone like you would spend your limited brain cells to imagine sh*t that never happens, has never happened nor will ever happen while you willfully ignore real things causing you enormous harm. Oh well, idiots going to idiot.

What Joyce Carol Oates wrote to Elon Musk on Twitter. I am told it rattled him. I love it.
“So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates – scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend’s or relative’s accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the ‘most wealthy person in the world.’”
I hope every journalist, pundit, commentator, columnist, on the right, center, and especially on the left - you know who you are! - who pushed the ‘Donald the Dove’, ‘Trump is antiwar’ nonsense narrative hang their heads in shame today. A mixture of liars and fools.
White led class reductionism is not the key to liberation.
The Democratic Party 🟦, in all its flaws and imperfections, has demonstrated far more domestic and global competence when addressing the multifaceted realities of Americans from a working class basis.
If Newsom is the nominee I will bust my fat ass to help him defeat that bitchass JD Vance or whomever R’s nominate. Politics is not marriage and y’all act like it’s some blood sacrifice to vote for Democrats. The stupidity exhausts me.
We need to spend the next 30 yrs when people try to rewrite history telling as many people as we can how much of an asshole Bernie Sanders is and how much of his cult is just a bunch of fuckups better at creating chaos than building coalitions
Don't let him or them off the hook
Show me a leftist who first got turned on to politics because Bernie Sanders got their panties wet and I'll show you someone consistently blaming his failures and everything else on everybody but him
It's time to tell these people to fuck off forever
Treat them just like MAGA
History has seen this playbook before and it never aged well. It wasn’t about pride or culture then, and it isn’t now. It’s about division dressed up as entitlement.
Let that sink in
Interesting to me that it’s automatically assumed that white men are just better, smarter and more deserving. I want Black coaches to have a fair shot, based on their ability. It’s pretty clear in this current system, that isn’t happening.
If the immigration “issue” was really about black & brown people “taking your jobs,” the powers that be wouldn’t be so damn eager to hand your jobs over to robots & artificial intelligence.
It’s just about giving you someone to hate & think yourself better than.
You’re not.
For those who still don’t get it. Colin Kaepernick was kneeling to protest the policies that led to the killing of those two white people in Minnesota as well. As MLK noted, injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. Do you get it now?
