I've seen so many people online using the government shutdown as an opportunity to demonize people who receive SNAP benefits, WIC and any kind of government assistance.
Here's the thing:
I agree with those people.
We need to end the WHITE welfare state
BECAUSE welfare works.

These people don't want to live with some of us. They want to kill us, subjugate us, expel us, and drive us from public life. If your political understanding begins there, you will sound less foolish when you run your mouth.

1. This week, the FBI released its comprehensive crime report for 2024, which revealed that both VIOLENT CRIME and PROPERTY CRIME reached their LOWEST LEVELS SINCE THE 1960s
This a massive story. But you might not have heard about it, even if you follow the news closely.

Why you might not know that 2024 was America's safest year since the 1960s
An overwhelming majority of Americans, 64 percent, believe that crime increased across the country in 2024, according to a Gallup survey conducted late last year.

When she says "an open book test" it is not a metaphor. They declared all of this with Project 2025, in bold print, that everyone could read for free. But yall still chose this
You stupid bastards failed an OPEN BOOK TEST last November.
Live with it.
Or die with it.
Idc. Just leave Black people the fuck ALONE.

Here's the secret of
"university indoctrination."
Professors aren't doing it.
Your little darlings are finally meeting a diverse group of people and realising that the stereotypes you've been feeding them are closed-minded garbage.

thinking of one of abraham lincoln's great quotes this morning:
"As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."

Go look in the mirror and remind the person looking back at you that they can do difficult things. Then remind them that they don't have to volunteer their suffering. Be good to people as long as it doesn't hurt you. And be good to yourself as long as you don't hurt people.

Because white people are invested in the mythology of their own goodness and they understand racism is bad, hence they’ll call it whatever else they have too. They can’t possibly be racist, they’re “good people” 🙄
I'm amazed when I see large platforms still unable to admit that a large portion of the country voted the way that they did because of racism. They are still pushing that it was the economy.
Why are they unable to reconcile with that?

What drives me crazy about the anti-DEI rhetoric is everyone wants to be judged on merit. But you can't be judged on merit if you can't even get in the door because you don't fit some prejudiced definition of who is capable and who isn't
