“I would rather die than withdraw.”
In 1991, after H.W. Bush nominated Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court, a woman claimed that Thomas sexually harassed her as her supervisor at two separate jobs. She was questioned on why she followed Thomas to the second job, after allegedly being harassed at the first.
At the hearing, led by Senate Judiciary Committee chair Joe Biden, Thomas vehemently and completely denied the allegations. He pointed to white liberals attempting to block a black conservative from taking a Supreme Court for having the wrong opinions, calling it a “high-tech lynching for uppity blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves, to do for themselves, to have different ideas, and it is a message that unless you kowtow to an old order, this is what will happen to you.”
The Senate confirmed Thomas to the Supreme Court by a vote of 52-48.
He’s faced the mob before, and he ascended in spite of it. We merely adopted the dark. He was born in it, molded by it. Clarence Thomas is the GOAT and the blueprint.

If you don't vote, I don't want to hear you ever complain about any of the filth, crime, or decline in LA again. Get off your butt and VOTE, or enjoy what you get.
When people criticize me for not having experience, I’m a lifelong Angeleno who’s seen my home city waste away under poor leadership. THAT is my experience. Just like you. Vote for LA. Vote today.
Community banks are the last place in America where a man in a short-sleeve dress shirt can approve a $400,000 loan based on the fact that he went to high school with your dad. There are 4,100 of them left. There were 14,000 in 1984. Every time one gets acquired, a teller named Brenda learns a new software system and a small town loses the only institution that would lend against a combine. The acquirer always says nothing will change. Brenda is gone in eighteen months. The lobby cookies go next. Then the branch closes. Then the building becomes a vape shop. This is not a financial trend. This is the slow administrative murder of the only version of capitalism that ever knew your name.
