Heading into the election, Democrats held a 220-212 majority in the U.S. House. Republicans walked away with 222 districts, gaining control of the chamber. Up until 2022, the Democrats held the White House, The House of Representatives, AND the Senate. 15/15 #BlackSky

This is NOT new. I originally posted this thread on X back in 2022. I tagged Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Jim Clyburn, the Congressional Black Carcass, and the DNC. Not a peep, and clearly, they learned NOTHING from the bloodletting they experienced in the mid-terms of 2022. 14/15 #BlackSky

To be clear, HR40 is garbage. It needs to be fixed with edits proposed by Dr. Sandy Darity, or it needs to be scrapped and rewritten from scratch. If you're unaware of the edits proposed, even more reason to replace you in office with someone else who will pay attention. 13/15 #BlackSky

So you're on notice of what's coming. Let's see what you can get done before the midterms apart from scare tactics, pandering, and identity politics. 12/15 #BlackSky

I'm mentioning @thedemocratsmv.bsky.social @democrats.org @housedemocrats.bsky.social
as you're leaders of your party. Now you can't say you didn't know WHY you have a problem with Black American voters. We see you... We see through you. 11/15 #BlackSky

UNTIL The Democrats make the needs of Black Americans a priority, not with performative foolishness like the image here, but in passing legislation that address our needs, they will continue to see the erosion of their base. The 2024 Presidential election is just the beginning. 10/15 #BlackSky

If they can pass laws like HR6 (American Dream and Promise Act of 2021), or to propose bills like HR5025 /S2585, (National Office of New Americans Act), it shows that they have NO WILL to deliver anything tangible for us, while giving away billions of dollars to illegal immigrants. 9/15 #BlackSky

By the lack of action and BENIGN NEGLECT, it's clear that we are the mules that the Democrats
ride to victory in national elections, but they can't or won't advocate and LEGISLATE for us. The Democrats
must think Black Americans are stupid, or crazy, or both. 8/15 #BlackSky

For some, the land that was promised was given, and then snatched away and awarded back to the defeated confederates who betrayed our nation to maintain the economic system of chattel slavery. Very few Freedmen families were able to keep their land. 7/15 #BlackSky

The US government promised the American Freedmen, (the 4 million Blacks who were emancipated at the end of the Civil War), 40 Acres of land per family and a mule to till that land via General Sherman's Special Field Order No. 15. 6/15 #BlackSky

The US paid reparations to slaveholders whose slaves were freed, Pacific Islanders in American territories, Japanese Americans who were interred in US concentration camps, and multiple Native-American tribes. (See a more comprehensive list: guides.library.umass.edu/reparations#...) 5/15 #BlackSky

Yet, we are constantly shamed for asking, pleading, yelling, screaming, and finally DEMANDING to receive real and tangible policy in exchange for our votes. 4/15 #BlackSky

NONE of them chose to do so.

By every economic measurement, Black Americans come in #DEADLAST in terms of wealth, income, healthcare, homeownership; and first in terms of the incarceration rate and homelessness. We are projected to be wealthless by 2030. 3/15 #BlackSky

At any time during that 36-yr period, any of the 3 democratic presidents who have held office since 1989, (Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, & Joe Biden), could have signed an executive order creating such a commission, bypassing the legislature with the stroke of a pen. 2/15 #BlackSky
