Scott Colom calls out Chuck Schumer for taking credit for his win
"It's not accurate to say he recruited me. The people of Mississippi recruited me. You think I would listen to somebody who lives in Brooklyn?"
Giving a white man in New York credit for a Black man winning an election in Mississippi, when that Black man and his community worked their asses off, is racist as hell. I hope y'all know that.
Colom won in spite of Schumer, not because of him.
The CCJ in it's McEwan v AG of Guyana (2018) judgement favouring the rights of 4 transwomen in Guyana set a precedent that: 1. The "Savings law clause" caribbean govts hide behind are not immune to their jurisprudence, and 2. The laws are archaic and human rights will be upheld.
It's both hilarious and sad that so many people assume the CCJ would be more conservative than the Privy Council. Whole time the CCJ BEEN on woke 3.0 and ruled that gender identity & expression and sexual intimacy fall under the right to freedom of expression 🙃

Doctors once advertised cigarettes.
Coca-Cola once contained cocaine.
Kids once played with uranium toys.
Hey @grok, what do we do TODAY that people in 2075 will find just as INSANE? Top 10, no mercy.

We have 30+ extra seats in the majority, you do not need to find bipartisan common ground.
The ONLY thing you need to do the next two years is pass popular bills that will prob be vetoed by Trump anyway while promising that you’ll pass them again in 2028 if Dems take the WH.
Zohran Mamdani just did what most Democrats and Republicans are too gutless to do.
He looked straight into the camera and said the quiet part out loud:
Republicans called Obama a socialist every single day for 8 years. It didn’t stop him.
Now they’re trying the same tired red-baiting on anyone who wants a New Deal instead of the raw deal working people have been force-fed for decades.
People are hungry for something real. Not more corporate welfare dressed up as “moderation.” Not more “public-private partnerships” that somehow always privatize the profits and socialize the losses.
Mamdani is right. The socialist smear is a dead tactic.
The only question left is whether the Democratic Party has the spine to actually deliver for the people who keep electing them… or if they’ll keep protecting the same donors who’ve been extracting wealth from this country for 40 years.
Keep going, Mayor.
The old guard is terrified for a reason, the midterms have certainly proven a new worth.
DEMOCRATS MUST DELIVER
Trumpism grew out of the failure of the Democratic Party to stand with working families. That cannot continue. At a time of unprecedented income and wealth inequality and declining faith in democracy, Democrats MUST deliver. No excuses.
- Medicare for All
- A $20-an-hour minimum wage
- The PRO Act
