Don't blame Muslims; or Jill stein; or Biden for dropping out; or for Kamala not going left enough. It's patriarchy. It's racism. And it's neoliberalism behind it all to pit us against each other until only the plutocrats thrive.

“There’s nothing more interesting than language and the problem of trying to bend it to your will, which you can never quite do. You can only find what it contains, which is always a surprise.”—Marilynne Robinson

Ta-Nehisi Coates really comes through here. “The question is to president Biden, do you want your final act to be sending more bombs to blow more children up? Is that what you want your final act to be?”

There’s just no serious way to discuss political violence in this country without acknowledging the US government as the primary source of it

Who floods US streets w/ guns while engaging in hateful demagoguery? The dead unnamed suspected shooter on the rooftop far away or…?

An elite, white majority determining after just 50 years of weak, half-hearted
affirmative action efforts, that they are the ones to decide that enough has been done to address centuries of explicit racial exclusion against Black people is the most American ruling ever.
