It still mind boggling how this story was just thrown under the rug and forgotten. We still don't know the actual circumstances surrounding this solder's death.
Hillary spoke at the Apollo theater and told white people to get their shit together and the media annihilated her for it. The far left said she was pandering to black folk and welp....now we gotta white supremacist in the white house. Y'all happy now?
"I have a copy of the Constitution on my night stand"
@MeghanMcCain
is so exhausting! You have copies of the Constitution all over your house yet slander service men & women who testify under testimony that Trump has repeatedly violated the Constitution. Bitch please.

Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris and Amy Klobuchar accepted their loss, brushed their shoulders and jumped right back in the fight to protect American workers and families. Why can’t Bernie Sanders do the same??
Gonna be petty & say that
@ewarren
was the one presidential candidate screaming about & had solid plans to fix the corrupt system that allowed Trump to get away w/this but y’all was too busy calling her meemaw & other dumb shit but go ahead & cry salty tears about corruption lol.
Elizabeth Warren has been screaming to eliminate the filibuster but glad to see y’all are taking notice and go off now that a man has said it. 👍🏾 I swear being a woman in this country is so fucking infuriating.
And don’t come at me with the Biden will choose Harris as VP crap because if he had any true goddamn respect for Harris and black women who are the backbone of the party, he would have never jumped in this race and instead endorsed her and worked his ass off to get her nominated.
When it comes to intersectionality, Warren is the best in this race. I've had Warren's black outreach coordinator DM me more than once when I expressed my concerns. They have no problem correcting Liz & it shows that she listens & has taken the necessary steps to correct herself.
I have to admit I was not expecting to feel this emotional. After Hillary’s 2016 loss I told myself I wasn’t gonna get my emotions involved in this bullshit but I guess watching qualified women concede to mediocre white men is getting to me. I’m sick of it. We all should be.
Bros having meltdowns b/c Liz went on SNL instead of endorsing Bernie. I hope she doesn’t endorse & sits on the sidelines drinking wine & watch this dumpster fire play out. Bernie & Joe could have easily endorsed Liz & Kamala but was prevented by their narcissism & misogyny.
Can we talk about how the LACK of public transit is a public safety issue when I have to sometimes walk home alone in the dead ass dark late at night because goddamn buses are not running???
Rand Paul sounded like a complete fucking idiot with his bullshit lies and baseless claims. Did this fool actually say Americans who make $50k and under don't pay any taxes🙄
#TheView
Friendly reminder that Elizabeth Warren announced a comprehensive plan to fight the spread of coronavirus and prevent economic fallout over a week ago.
Y'all, we could have had Leslie Knope.
Look, I’m not here for the “Who knew Trump would be this bad?” crowd when those of us who fucking begged people to vote for Hillary Clinton were crying and throwing up the moment we realized this asshole was elected. I will never forgive the people who voted for this man. Ever.
Alot of y’all Warren stans kept telling me to stfu and blocked me when I said Liz needed to aggressively separate herself from Sanders and now here we are. As always the black woman is right. 💁🏾♀️
Flag, faith, family, and character are not “conservative values”. What is wrong with you? What kind of a terrible person says this? Do you not know any people of color who over-index in serving their nation? Have you met no Black evangelicals?
Re-examine your life choices, lady
Finally 18?? And yeah this is a so-called youth pastor. He groomed her starting at age 14 and waited until she was 18 to legally marry. This is disgusting.
Most people don't understand the concept of being blacklisted by an entire industry & the impact it has on someone's image & career...most do not survive it. That Janet was blacklisted by the entertainment industry, emerged from it & is selling out arenas in 2023 speaks volumes.
When you go to a Janet Jackson show you will experience around 40 songs from several different genres and those do not include all of her hits.
Her versatility and depth of her discography are not appreciated enough.

I wish someone on that panel would have fact checked Nutmeg on why Stefanik was dragged by the media....because Stefanik repeatedly attempted to blatantly violate the hearing rules. I just had to turn the damn channel. The producers need to get this bitch under control
#TheView
Sanders still having problematic Shaun King as a top surrogate is an indicator that if president the type of people Sanders will have in his inner circle. Instead of Diamond & Silk we will have King, Turner & West making daily visits to white house & spreading wild bs propaganda
I am voting for Elizabeth Warren b/c she is the only candidate in this race who has put forth comprehensive policies that acknowledge & reverse the harm done to marginalized communities, provide the resources & tools to empower those communities & tackle white supremacy head on.
Joe Manchin - a Democrat who represents one of the reddest states in the country - is telling y’all progressives in very safe blue districts to mind y’all fucking business and mf’ers got the nerve to be mad?? Get real.
I am so fucking angry right now. If Biden and Sanders were true feminists & believe in empowering women and people of color they would have stepped to the side and not done this. How am I supposed to be proud to be a Democrat after this nonsense??*throws chair across room*
Imagine if Sanders hadn’t ran & endorsed Warren. The same w/Biden & Harris. This could have came down to two competent, qualified women who together have the most comprehensive plans that will benefit our most marginalized communities instead we’re stuck w/2 crusty white dudes.
Tim Kaine is not the reason Hillary lost. Y’all just gonna ignore the sexism, racism, media bias, Russian interference, voter suppression & 30yrs of hatred she had against her??? Political twitter is a mess today. I can’t wait for Joe to announce his VP to watch the meltdowns.
@MeghanMcCain
: I hate identify politics.
Also McCain every 3 seconds: Democrats don't do enough to reach out to "middle America" and "the Rustbelt" or "rural America" which is literally identity politics to mean white people.🙄
#theview
I support Liz but a lot of you hardcore Warren stans foolishly thought she was immune to the toxicity of the Bernie cult. Were y’all asleep in 2016? Did y’all miss the harm he caused to HRC? Wake up. Bernie Sanders and his cult do not care about the unity or future of the party.
Anyone else in a constant state of rage right now??? I mean I’ve been in rage since this motherfucker was elected but it has gone to a much deeper level. The level of anger I have is unexplainable.
@JenAshleyWright
@kathygriffin
Love Hillary and fought hard for her but if she were president unarmed black people would still fear being killed by the police
Watching the twitter Khive irrational toxicity towards Elizabeth Warren is really else something when Joe Biden is the reason Kamala is not in the race.
Regardless of how you feel about Stacey Abrams, if Mayo Pete can launch an entire campaign and tell the American people why his mediocre bum ass is qualified to be president, then Abrams has every fucking right to put forth her case of why she’s qualified to be vice president.
Elizabeth Warren needs to hop on these black radio stations & talk about her black agenda, write digital op eds for Essence & Ebony magazines about how black women have helped shape her campaign, speak to black women & why she deserves our vote.
@BlackWomxnFor
where y’all at?!
Happy Monday. I’m still standing with Elizabeth Warren. Again, I trust that after Tuesday’s results she will make the decision that she feels is best for the party but I am with her as long as she is in this thing. 🗽
@Bravewriting
She actually addressed them as mature, rational young people. Encouraged them to continue to be engaged, run for office in the future & at the end of the video one of the young persons basically secured an internship in Feinstein's office. This is fucking amazeballs imo.
Why does Elizabeth Warren call RBG, Ruthie? Well because unlike the rest of us Liz had a personal relationship with RBG who was one her mentors and a friend and also maybe mind your own fucking business.👍🏾
Elizabeth Warren needs to put Bernie Sanders in a goddamn headlock at the next debate and end this perceived image that she is beholden to him and his nutty, toxic cult. She has to do it.
This narrative that Abrams lost her race because of lack of enthusiasm for her is absolutely false. That election was 100% stolen from Abrams due to voter suppression. Stop the lies.
I’m all for having a black woman on the ticket but maybe y’all should have spent this much energy when a black woman was actually running for president. We had the most diverse Dem primary ever & y’all settled on the old white man, backed him in a corner on a VP & made a mess. 🤷🏾♀️
NEW: More than 100 Black male leaders sign letter demanding Joe Biden pick Black woman as VP. “Failing to select a Black woman ... means YOU WILL lose the election ... Black women are defining the future of politics so it's time you let one define the future of your campaign.”
One thing that struck me about the Axios interview with Trump is that although Jonathan Swan deserves all the praise for his bearing and questioning, there's simply no way a woman of color doesn't get constantly badgered by Trump for doing the same exact thing.
Imagine if EW was being pressed by a voter on her plans, became visibly frustrated & told that voter to just vote for someone else? And did this multiple times? Y’all keep giving JB a pass on his behavior b/c “That’s just Joe” but would lose your shit if a woman behaved this way.
INSPIRATION: Last week, my daughter announced to my husband & me that she was running for 8th grade class President. Today, Sen.
@KamalaHarris
took the *time* to give her some campaign advice. This is what happens when you get to see yourself. You believe that you can win, too!
Hard to overstate how unpredictable talking to voters can be: Melissa from Algona, Iowa, caucused for Bernie in 2016, then voted for a Trump; she supports Medicare for All but supports Buttigieg, but will likely vote for Trump again if Buttigieg doesn’t win the Dem nomination.
I’m not being snarky when I ask this because I am dead ass serious, what is plan B if Biden and Sanders both get coronavirus and this is a legitimate concern given both their ages and the number of people they will come in contact with.
I am so overwhelmed at the hospital. My supervisors think I am goddamn superwoman. I am fucking human and have a breaking point like everyone else. Send good vibes….pet pics would be nice also.
Black voters haven’t started voting yet & y’all are already determined the winner of this primary? Joe is not my preferred candidate but to dismiss his lead w/black voters is foolish when the rest of the field is polling in single digits. A lot of feelings gonna get hurt after SC
@notcapnamerica
@HillaryClinton
Humans of New York did a nice piece where she explained as a young woman she was groomed to keep her feelings & emotions in check in order to be taken seriously. I'm glad she is showing a lighter side of her but those of us who have supported her always knew this side existed.
Look Joe Biden isn’t my preferred candidate & I’m not excited to have him as our nominee but the candidates who inspired me most exited the race & it came down to Joe & Bernie & voters picked Joe. Bernie had 4yrs to get his shit together & still couldn’t pull it off. Deal w/it.
Do not talk to me about uplifting black women when you are allowing your bitterness to prevent you from voting for the candidate in the race, Elizabeth Warren, who is listening to black women & writing policies that specifically address issues black women face.
I'm hard on Liz but I know she is the best candidate who as president will put forth policy to improve the lives of this country's most marginalized groups? What other candidate is sitting at the table *literally* w/black men & women & using these meetings to write policy?
Thank you for moderating this discussion,
@FredTJoseph
and
@Benny_Starr
. I don’t take these conversations lightly. I’m committed to keep listening and learning from Black men and their experiences as we fight for justice, opportunity, and respect. Your voices are critical.
It should be noted that even if the young man was not a graduate of Harvard, even if he was just some random black man with a GED making $8/hr - he still did not deserve that treatment. No one does.
NEW:
@JoeBiden
's campaign confirms that he has reviewed
@ewarren
’s bankruptcy plan closely, and is endorsing her proposal, as he said in his IL town hall.
That's a significant shift, as the proposal would largely undo the 2005 bankruptcy bill the two clashed over in Congress.
No one is out here acting like Warren is the first woman to run for president maybe for some of us the pain cuts deeper every time we have to watch a woman go thru this shit.
I have no problem with what the Lincoln Project is doing to get Biden elected but do not mistake yourselves into thinking these Republicans believe in pushing for a more progressive America because they do not.
If Warren drops out I’m sitting on the sidelines until November and will vote for the Dem nominee. This idea that Warren supporters automatically support Sanders is just wrong & also alienated moderates who want to support Warren.
True Janet fans know what sis has been thru. That she was blacklisted by the entire entertainment industry (and even shunned by some of her closest peers), survived & emerged from it & is selling out arenas with no new music is beyond amazing. Give Janet her flowers!!!!!
I am hoping Janet Jackson will share this entire photo montage video on her social channels by the end of her

Smh this is like the fifth hit piece on Hillary I have seen in the past 24hrs pop up on my feed meanwhile Trump is stomping all over the constitution and setting our democracy on fire.
NEW: After assuring the public about the government's coronavirus preparedness, Senate Intel chair Richard Burr, in one day, sold off up to $1.6 million is stock.
A week later, the market began its fall.
His committee was receiving daily briefings.
What other candidate in the race is doing this? Listening and meeting with black women *LITERALLY* at the table. Where’s Amy K’s outreach to black women? Pete? Joe? I guess Bernie has Nina Turner 🥴🤒
