Can someone explain like I’m five why grown adults are protesting Palestine at a private citizen? Do they think yelling at random people fixes foreign policy, or are they just practicing public tantrums?

I’m glad to see a lot of y’all would’ve stayed level headed if someone called your child a monkey or a roach. Me? I’m sending your picture to my people in Haiti and having you barking in the middle of Manhattan at noon.

My painting features two of the ‘Marching Mothere’ - Clara Smirh and Daisy Craggett. They both were instrumental in ending segregation in Cleveland Schools.
The other day, I got to FaceTime with the family of Daisy Craggett - much of her family had no clue just how widely known she is!

Black people actually did call all of this, so did Indigenous people. White people just thought we were exaggerating because you were fine with the violence toward communities that you thought wouldn't include you. But the thru line from eugenics, bleach, and Ivermectin to here was incredibly clear
This. This administration is even worse than any of us thought possible. Who had destroy NIH, CDC, USAID, EPA, scientific research all at the same time on their bingo card?
My thesis is that no matter how doomer you were in Nov. 2024, we're probably past your worst-case scenario for the first 9 months of this administration.
It's very strange for me to realize I wasn't pessimistic enough.

Oh, this is some real brain twisting.
I'm going to engage a bit with this quote dunk because I think there is a broader series of points about predictions, and hindsight bias.
Yes, lot of people (incl. me) said it was going to be bad. But what does "bad" mean? That requires being specific. How many people predicted USAID would close?

Watching this particular brand of tail chasing is interesting.
I remember people being told they were overreacting. You thought a bunch of racists who hate the poor would just cut waste and not view the whole program as a waste. That’s an interesting choice.

Love! MS Choctaw nation thanks Ryan Coogler for authenticity of their participation–not just representation–in Sinners. One of the first lessons of the movie is the People trying to help white folk but they turned up their noses, paid for it with their lives and then spread death to the black folk.
