Let's not, in fact, "hand it" to Rand Paul.
His opinions line up with reality about twice a year; and until his hit/miss ratio improves significantly, we should really be hounding the fucking news outlets that keep giving him oxygen.

US Racial disparities concerning Black people are tantamount to Economic Inequality.
While some socialists focus broadly on class disparities, ignoring & generally hand-wave Racism as the second hand smoke of the capitalist's cigar.
Or it's just some dust in a room as opposed to the room's woodwork.

A hero.
The hero who disarmed one of the terrorists in Sydney turned out to be 43-year-old Ahmed al-Ahmed — a fruit shop owner and father of two.
He was shot twice and is currently in hospital. He is scheduled to undergo surgery.
He had no experience with weapons of any kind.

If you are still not *political* at this point in History..
You might be a sociopath.
Dealing w/ relationships within any given group or organization that allows particular people to have power over others is part of our society.
Stop pretending these interactions aren't actually part of daily life.

It's interesting looking at the interactions or stark lack thereof on popular White liberal Bluesky influencers on just how their audience reacts or just iggs Black issues.
I'm sure someone has written a paper on this.

“Performative allyship can obscure the need for deeper struggle and pacify calls for justice. It often shifts the spotlight away from oppressed people – marginalized, Indigenous, and especially Black voices – and onto White comfort, or worse, White privilege.”
