So glad I took a Xanax before this.

If Hitler was running for president in the U.S. at least 85% of Republicans would vote for him this November. That’s where things are.

“Witnesses say at least four missiles fell onto the crowded camp as people slept, engulfing tents in flames and scattering body parts.”

When will it be enough?

I'm not trying to be vain - but that man looks HORRIBLE. #Debate2024

ABC said they are fact-checking on their blog... it is the dereliction of duty for me. #Debate2024

I hate some of the language people are using to trash talk Trump because it will inevitably demonize more marginalized people with felonies and sex workers.

Evanston, Ill. is gearing up for a legal fight over the nation’s first reparations program. To understand, I talked to 87-year-old Delores Holmes and her family about the generational wealth they believe was stolen from their family through segregation and redlining as well as the Tom Fitton, who heads Judicial Watch, a conservative group representing non-Black families who are suing.

There’s a huge fight happening in Brooklyn:

A developer plans to build a 14 story building of 475 apts (119 affordable).

But it would negatively impact sunlight for the Brooklyn Botanic Garden + nearby playground.

Brooklynites on both sides came out in full force to testify…

Let’s take a moment to reflect on Black-Palestinian solidarity—🧵 /12.

I will endeavor to bring this up EVERY FUCKING TIME these capture publications post anything of note about the election over the next two and a half months.

[Elie Mystal @ElieNYC]

It would appear that the biggest story I missed while I was out is that the @nytimes @washingtonpost and @politico have all confirmed that they are trying to help Donald Trump win by not publishing his emails, after doing a total hatchet job on John Podesta.

People are being obtuse in these convos BUT ALSO - this is exactly what happened in 2020 & 2016 with Russian bots on social media with regard to suppressing the Black vote. It's easy to do this if the bots sow the seeds and then large accounts make it grow.

[Shay Stewart Bouley @blackgirlinmain]

Palestinians and their allies beefing with Black folks wasn't on the bingo card. People benefit from our division. At the same time, the youngsters getting on these apps talking greasy about Black folks supporting Harris or calling us colonizers is distasteful.

[lesliemac @LesliemacCLT]

Worse still - these political campaigns scooped up some of our most talented and effective organizers away from organizing.

[derecka @dereckapurnell]

but then what have the campaigns done? Copied social movements. Made candidates into leaders. Use words like "grassroots" and "corporations" and "history" as if we can't tell the difference. Grateful to those of us who remind us the difference
