My first time in Complex. Wrote about LiAngelo Ball’s viral “Tweaker,” its New Orleans influence, and why it works whether Ball deserves to be an honorary Hot Boy or not.

Justin J. Pearson: “If the Republican Party is gonna be the party licking the boot of the billionaires who are taking our land, polluting our water, and taking our jobs, then let us be the party of the working class in rural, suburban, and urban America alike. If the Republican Party is gonna be the party of AI taking away our jobs, the party of corporate handouts and blank checks for foreign wars, let us be the party to deliver an increase to the minimum wage. Let us be the party to deliver universal healthcare”
It’s not even a question when you just understand basic political science lol the reason khive libs frame progressives as leftists is because if you accomplice that progressives are right wing it means “moderates” are far right.
Crazy tone of this as if maga dems did anything to make this happen lmao as always just watching on the sidelines while real players fight facism. And then cheer for the facism. Wild times for “future civil rights leaders.”
BOOM! SAY IT LOUDER:
Gary Chambers Jr. just dragged Louisiana Republicans — while Speaker Mike Johnson wears holes in his kneepads for Dear Leader.
Louisiana ranks dead last in economy and crime, 46th in education, 48th in infrastructure, 49th in environment, 46th in opportunity, with 18.9% poverty — worst in America.
But they're stripping power from a Black-majority New Orleans instead of fixing any of it.
This isn't reform. It's racist reconstructionism.
Gary said it plainly: "You lost every constitutional amendment you proposed, even in your own districts."
They don't ask the people because they know they'd lose. No choice. No vote. No voice.
Trump on Iran War:
Reporter: What extent are Americans’ financial situation motivating you to make a deal?
Trump: Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation
Hasan Piker: “America is, in its foundation, a white supremacist country. This is very frustrating for Republicans to hear, this is even frustrating for liberals to hear sometimes, but it’s just the truth”
This administration refuses to take responsibility for any of their actions. Spirit specifically cited why they couldn’t stay in business: skyrocketing fuel costs due to Trump’s war. And the Trump admin is still trying to blame Biden for everything. Biden?! You could maybe get away with that if it were February 2025, but it’s May 2026. Trump was the “I’ll make everything cheaper on day 1” guy. The “no new wars” guy. Own your actions.
