I thought that was a me thing. 😆
But accurate, that dude who played young Prince Charles in The Crown?
He’s been in a whole bunch of movies since then, with Zendaya in the tennis movie even.

See also why I never could get with democratic socialists like Bernie Sanders.

If your Marxist critique doesn’t recognize race as a structure of domination, then it’s worth fuck all to me.

Shirley Chisholm showed what was possible when she became the first Black person and woman to seek the Democratic nomination for President
and Jesse Jackson built out a foundation she had laid a decade later
You don’t get to Barack Obama or Kamala Harris without these two

Jesse Jackson also used his organizing skills to build Black political power w/his Presidential campaigns:
registering Black voters making them the base of the Dem Party
training the next gen of Black politicos (eg, Donna Brazile)
Rest easy now sir

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Yes which is why is also said “shaping your child’s perception of what is right and wrong”
Selling your soul for the right price is definitely falls into that category.

Anywho, if you’re a white progressive person raising white (or even white presenting) children, y’all gotta be real hands on in shaping your children’s perception of right and wrong, keeping them from becoming radicalized,

There have been some thoughtful profiles on high ranking Trump officials that I’ve read
There was one on Pam Bondi
Did u know her father, with whom she was close, was a die hard FDR Democrat and elected official?
Apparently she was registered as a Democrat before her political career, clearly 👀
