You might as well stand for democracy because this didn’t sustainable and I have ZERO confidence that white people and their pick-mes of every color will do the right thing next week.

“Good” white people now are the equivalent of the “good”Germans, 1933! I said it. I meant it.

Just an observation 2025-26: Racist really thought Black people would join hands with them for the Antisemitism. When we all know Anti Blackness & Antisemitism are joined at the hip.

There are 77 million Trump voters. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature. Why? Because they're morons. Like Bobby here.

Most of the stars that *have* names have Arabic names. Arabic contributions to astronomy are significant, but before we started handing out prizes.

Am I missing a connection between Brazilian politics and US politics? I really don’t see the correlation. Black Women are disrespected in US Politics all together. Lefitist hate black women so telling them to pay attention to a Black Trans Woman from Brazil isn’t making sense here.

Don’t believe the polls! People put their hoods on in the privacy of the voting booth. Do NOT take these numbers as permission not to vote. Make your plan, follow through and let’s get these do-nothing, grifting Republican fuckers out of Congress with numbers too big to rig!!

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com

These numbers are telling. CBS News projects Democrats at 229 House seats to Republicans’ 206. Look at what voters are saying: • 65% say the economy is bad. • 57% say Trump’s policies have hurt them financially. • DON’T MISS THIS: 83% say government corruption is a major factor in their vote.

UCLA fired me as DEI Director—a clear First Amendment violation—after LibsofTikTok sent my Charlie Kirk posts viral and VP Vance ordered bigots to complain to UCLA that I was “celebrating” Kirk’s death. Old enough to recall Justice RBG in the hospital—Republicans were outside PRAYING for her death.

So many white people thought this headline was a joke—but Black people know better. Even when we excel, White America is always right there to put us in our place, i.e., where they think our place should be. Imagine calling COPS because your 5-year-old is getting schooled in soccer by 3-year-old.⚽️

That's why it's ridiculous to wait for boomers or silent to die off. They've passed it down. Some reject it. Some are casual with it. Some run full throttle with it. Racism is sewn into the fabric of the stars and stripes. It ain't going nowhere. But we need to reject it again with voices & hands.

Hi, yes? This guy f- right off. And so can the little kid who said this to my kid at school. The danger isn’t one old guy. It’s that he gives permission to all of the other racists-in-waiting.

Basically what the author is trying to do is erase the 1965-1974 GenXer (I guess we are Boomers) and create a new generation out of people born from 1975 to 1985. That's not how it works. We can also get into the racial implications of branding suburban White youth as the definition of GenX too.

Two years ago, Skye Blakely ruptured her Achilles just days before the Olympic trials. This weekend, the Frisco, TX gymnast became WORLD ALL-AROUND CHAMPION, the first American woman since Simone Biles in 2023, and won four World Championship medals! #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance

1/? Yesterday, I got a chance to talk to an Indian immigrant who didn't support Kamala Harris. In my conversation, I finally understood something. Just like there are some Black ppl who worry about other Black ppl doing bad things and it reflecting on ALL Black ppl, immigrants have the same worry.

Why are folks so obsessed with the Trans community? I have my theories. To claim schools are giving out gender affirming care is so damn crazy bc teachers can’t afford paper towels and sanitizer.

The President is fascinated by the ass of others and the news media is treating it as normal. Biden yawns and its a full page ad lol

What criteria is used to determine what your favorite sports team should be? Never understood this. Geographic proximity? Colors? Behavior of players or management? Political aspects of those? What criteria do people use? Family tradition? Is there a rational pathway to the decision?

Ideally, literally everyone would be masking up in pretty much all public settings. 😷😷 This immunocompromised cancer survivor would certainly appreciate it and I know I’m not the only one.

I maintain drug commercials should require their actors to act out the list of side effects at the end.

Nearly half of the signatures were anonymous. These tech people who keep saying, “Please stop us, we’re building things that will kill us all!” and then keep right on building things that will kill us all are starting to make my head hurt

To destabilize a country with disinformation is also an old Soviet tactic. To many examples are out here to ignore the fact these “free Palestine” movements are an intelligence operation. Yt kids who wanna cosplay serve themselves as useful idiots.

We are devastated to share the death of Jennifer who died this afternoon after a series of complications arising from a gastrointestinal bleed suffered last week. Jennifer had spent the last 60 years loving life and others with a full heart, a devotion to her faith, and a contiguous laugh. 1/2

For some reason, ppl have stopped teaching children to ask permission before approaching dogs. Random lady just let her kid bound up to the Hounds/me despite my protestation, assuring “It’s okay! We have big dogs at home!” Don’t do this‼️ALWAYS ask before approaching dogs. Basic social interaction.

Y'all don't get that the ACA was truly transformative change? That Biden's BBB bill was transformative, so was the Maternal Health iniative and the student loan forgiveness program. I think your issue here is that YOU personally don't feel that YOU personally have benefitted.
