The movement that will deliver progress for all Americans will be born out of the fight for Black liberation.
It will not come from anywhere else.
The systems that hold all working class Americans back are rooted in anti-Blackness.

Prison guards rushing to take jobs with ICE. Almost like all of this is connected. I wonder which people have been making this case for a few decades.

When a far right pundit on a CNN panel with me ‘joked’ about my beeper going off live on air & then got banned by CNN, Megyn Kelly had him on her show & they both laughed about it.
Yet here is Kelly getting super offended when someone else makes the beeper threat against her. Oh, the hypocrisy.

3 of us braved the rain to buy out 2 vendors this morning. One vendor had their young child waiting in the car and started immediately packing up after we bought everything she had. I hope they enjoyed the rest of the day somewhere warm and comfy. Look at that tamale steam! 😍 🫔

the grievances of the Right are 'legitimate' and exist because the Left 'goes too far.' The grievances of the Left(s) are illegitimate because they are disfavored groups who should be grateful to get to live in this country.
I am remembering how the Tea Party protests in the Obama administration (2009-2010) were covered and thinking about how that coverage compares to the No Kings protests. #contentiousky

seems that RFK is clearing the path for his CDC to do tuskegee syphillis experiments as a matter of course. in other news, RFK is a genuine monster who relishes in the pain and suffering of those he feels he has control or dominion over
RFK is undoing human subjects protections so he can conduct placebo trials of vaccines. That means infecting people knowingly. I wonder who will “volunteer” for these trials? If history is any guide, a lot of incarcerated and other powerless people.
Dismantling the Institutional Review Board (IRB), that oversees all human subjects research, is bad. Really bad.
