That Irish-American anti-racist you heard about. Queer and mad.
Anyone can choose to be an anti-racist, but time is running out. Please, fix your hearts if you want to live.

You need to get over yourself and accept that you keep losing because you keep backing racist losers with nothing to offer but reheated white grievance politics, in a primary that lives and breathes by the votes of Black and Jewish people lmao.
This might actually be my finest work.

Plausible deniability and innuendo are the cover that a lot of whites like to operate within. Jeffries and Schumer have robbed that from the GOP going into this vote and I think that is something of some strategic value.
Like, listen to what the GOP is saying. They've taken the bait. They're out here calling the most lukewarm set of law enforcement reforms imaginable "unworkable" and a "nonstarter" and are accusing Dems of holding the country hostage for an agenda.
The GOP is not taking any of these compromise funding bills. Jeffries and Schumer know they won't. So this is a strategic exercise.
I think there's more rhetorical value in getting them on the record rejecting the milquetoast reforms right now.
We can't control outcomes, we can control stories.

My son in the Boundary Waters. This is what’s under attack by the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress. Channel your inner Teddy Roosevelt and call your Senators!

Everything is about power. Every single thing. And if power is the ability to create change, then politics is the struggle to create change. Everything is therefore political. At any given moment in time, someone is trying to change something somewhere.

By "Hawaii independence dead enders," are you referring to the Hawaiian Natives at the heart of the ke ea Hawaiʻi campaign? Cuz, uh, yikes.
What if I told you that Native sovereignty and self-determination aren't the sum of a pro/con list, and are actually inherent goods worth fighting for?

my favorite part of the Hawaii independence dead enders is that they are also almost universally anti-tourism
and it’s like, you realize that as an independent country Hawaii would have to be *even more reliant on tourism* to sustain its economy and standard of living
