Personally, I don't care if a black woman is never president.
I actually hope black women are NEVER the face of this trash-ass empire.

A black person holding that seat is not what's going to get our society where we need to be.

All they're going to do is be a puppet for power.

Posting ghost jobs should be illegal. If companies do this to harvest consumer data or create the appearance that they are “always hiring” to appease investors, how is this just not fraud? Is there a meaningful legislative remedy for this?

Now: Thousands of people in Charlotte have gathered to let Border Patrol & ICE know they’re not welcome here. We will not bow down in the face of Trump’s terror tactics. When our communities are under attack we stand up and fight back!

I mention sometimes how investigating local governments turned me into an anarchist. This is a major example.

Black community tries to get a pool fixed? "Change is slow," multi-year process then never happens.

Chamber of commerce wants something evil and costly? Happens within months, even weeks.
Yes. I think it's also a sign of how status quo propaganda around "good change is inherently painfully slow" has seeped into the wider culture, even among radicals (you are not immune to propaganda, etc).

But it was never true! That was just an excuse used to deny basic demands and shut people up.
maybe i’m naive but i think it’s kinda doomerism to always be saying this is gonna take decades to undo or you’ll be old or dead when it ends. first it doesn’t matter, plant trees you won’t live to sit in the shade of. second great change is capable of happening very quickly

I'm seeing people wonder why ICE is going after Charlotte.

ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018.

We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:
“When the 8 African American sheriffs took over the largest counties in North Carolina, it became a threat to the good ol’ boy system,” says the sheriff of Charlotte. These new sheriffs broke ties with ICE.

But GOP lawmakers cracked down this week, overbidding the governor’s veto to adopt this law:
North Carolina GOP Is Cracking Down on the Black Sheriffs Who Stood Up to ICE
Boosted by new supermajorities, Republicans are closing in on legislation to mandate more collaboration with ICE and preempt local policies hard-won by immigrants’ rights advocates.

I see no path forward between what people are saying they want and the Democratic party as currently constituted. No path.

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

Charlotte is turning into Chicago in the course of a day. My husband went to work earlier this afternoon and was informed Hispanic staff were sent home due to an ICE raid around the block in which all the Hispanic employees were rounded up and arrested. Fuck ICE.
A Charlotte pastor said Border Patrol came into his church and made an arrest in front of children. They cried “a lot,” he said.

“We are trying to clean the property. We didn’t know this is gonna happen.”

Well I think it’s less about whether women are capable than about whether their status is seen as an affront. A woman who has only male bosses her entire career is not seen as an anomaly; a man who has a woman bass (even once!) is seen to have suffered an indignity.

This is a really smart point: that this argument rests on a combination of both misogyny and a populist hostility to class inequality. By asserting that women dominate the managerial class, misogynists can depict women as the oppressors. Something "left" and "right" misogynists would find convincing

A big thing that’s happening is people being surprised by anti-Black racism because they convinced themselves that Black people were particularly protected, valued and privileged for …reasons.

I love leftovers. Not having to think about what to cook or eat is amazing.

This is what we mean when we say help ease our mental load. Just take something off the plate. Even if it’s just you figuring out dinner.
