Black women are the most educated demographic in America.
More degrees per capita than any other group, including white men and white women.
And still, they’re among the most underpaid.
More educated, less paid. Overqualified, underestimated, and undervalued. Every time.

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

We live in the most expensive city in the United States. Running on a bold economic agenda to lower costs and make life easier for working people was at the heart of our success.

The rise of people like Lander and Walz, whose ideologies don't exactly match mine but have the exact right combination of "love thy neighbor" and "fuck you, asshole" attitudes, is massive positive for people who care about left of center politics

No, you don't, my love. The word you're looking for is 'uncomfortable'. And the reason for that discomfort is your racism. Which makes it very much a You problem and not an Everybody Else problem.

Zohran Mamdani is saying things like “poverty is a policy choice and politicians have a duty to their constituents to make their lives affordable” and it is making a lot of politicians very very scared that they may actually have to start doing some actual service in their public service jobs.

People don’t GET OVER illnesses, the need for medical care or the closure of rural clinics and hospitals.
