Too eager to punish Dems, but now they're demanding that one out of office for almost a decade to be their magical Negro superhero.

OBAMA: Sir, I’m not the President of the United States, currently. So, there’s no point in shouting at me. I’m not in charge of foreign policy currently.

Trans athlete bans always get used to police cis women's bodies. The athletes affected by this are disproportionately Black. There's a direct through line from this stuff to racism.
Neither NWSL nor USSF have a trans athlete policy. The one NWSL adopted previously was abandoned years ago. Meanwhile, a lobby group seeking to ban trans athletes has laid out their plan for American soccer.

If Palestine is the litmus test everybody has failed it, so it's not a surprise the West is in a dire State. The same men bombing brown & Black people indiscriminately will also snatch your white elderly Mom's social security. That's why fighting for rights can't be selective. Everybody or nobody.

College freshman today were 6 years old in the 2012 election.
A student of mine (age 20) told me after class that he appreciates when I explain how US politics and media were different before, because the Trump era is all he’s seen.
This is what young Americans think politics is. It’s normal now.
