Ngl, seeing “you’re holding the nazi tatted racist white man to impossible standards” as a Black woman, aka the demographic ACTUALLY held to impossible standards, pisses me off deeply. The bar is so low for them and they still can’t clear it, but we’re “ideological purists” for pointing that out.

As my dad would always say: the mark of a true leader is someone who wants to catch people doing good. And reinforce that. Because too many people have been taught to avoid negative consequences instead of striving for positive outcomes.

The Black-Jewish alliance is incredibly important to me. It has been all my life. I would love to see it as solid as a rock. We can trust and depend on each other.

Unless we fight to rebuild the Black and Jewish alliance & fight against the antisemitism & racism in the DEM party. I worry what will happen going forward in the future. We must get all hands on deck to strategize to defeat the extreme Nazism and racism in both parties and take it back from them 1/

It's Black Women's Equal Pay Day, and it should not take until July for a Black woman to earn what a white, non-Hispanic man earned last year.
Black women, and all women, deserve equal pay for equal work.
I'll keep fighting until we don't need to recognize equal pay days.
