Here’s why the narrative to oust Biden is failing w/Black women: Biden gave us the 1st Black woman VP in history, the 1st Black woman on the Supreme Court, has a Black woman as Press Secretary & has appointed more Black women for lifetime judgeships than any other president.
Let me just state this plainly. The Vice Presidency is the highest position any Black woman has ever held in this country. The most powerful position any Black woman has held in modern history. If you usurp that by replacing Harris, not only will you unleash a fury hotter than a
It's so funny how those racist Ole Miss students don't need to wear masks, because when they go job-hunting in a few years, it won't matter. And they know that…
I’ve always found the performative modesty/frugality from the uber-wealthy class 1 of their most insufferable traits. The attention one gets from driving a Honda when you can at the very least afford say, a BMW, comes from the same ego that buys a $500 million yacht 20yrs later.
I think a big part of the perception here, is that Black ppl are brought up to respect their elders. They don’t malign them because they don’t speak or move quickly. We respect their inherent wisdom. A lot of folks on here weren’t taught to respect elders & it shows.
I know this endeavor may be futile, but I ask fans of the nypost to apply some critical thinking. Why would 5 Black men film themselves trying to steal a bike from a pregnant white woman? Who’s crying for help?
Former Boeing CEO, James McNerney: “Those who cared too much about the integrity of the planes and not enough about the stock price were “phenomenally talented assholes,” and he encouraged his deputies to ostracize them into leaving the company.” McNerney retired in 2015.
Holy shit, this story about how Boeing's stock-price obsessed CEO and manager class hollowed out the hard-won and rigorous expertise the company was known for. They just took it apart. Plane safety was something we could take for granted, for a long time.
Iowa’s 3 public universities are closing their DEI offices
Iowa State’s president said they’ve established learning communities so that ‘a young man, young white man, from rural Iowa, could find the place where they could belong’
Democrats need to treat every election, no matter how small, like we've been granted a 2016 do-over by the election goddess.

Wait till younger people hear about pre-existing conditions! Obamacare (and I will always call it that) was really transformative and we need more outreach to let the youngins’ know! 😉
Out of ALL the Black churches in Detroit, the Trump campaign just happened to find the one where the pastor refused to leave after the congregation voted him out, changed the locks & got a restraining order. I know someone else who refused to leave after he was voted out. 👀
I knew there was something sketch about this event. Apparently, pastor Lorenzo Sewell, who thanked Trump for visiting "the hood," was voted out as pastor but refused to leave. He was arrested & issued a restraining order. He called it a "church jacking."
I know every American won't buy a sheet of stamps but I'll do what I can. I just bought five sheets of those Gwen Ifill stamps and few sheets of their Marvin Gaye stamps.
#SaveTheUSPS
#BuyStamps
Let’s break down how
#BuySomeStamps
#buystamps
works.
1. Trump hates the USPS and wants it to die.
2. The post office is in a crisis.
3. If every adult bought a sheet of stamps that’s $2.3 billion
4. DON’T USE THEM NOW — it’s a loan!
5. Use them when the USPS is ok.
You see these glowing young women with
@VP
Harris? You need them to win any election. They love her. They are voting Biden-Harris in part because of her. If Harris is removed in *any way, say goodbye to these young voters.
I just have to say, that someone is throwing the Middletons under the bus, because the RF can absolutely keep these negative stories out of the press—if they were so inclined.
This is a great example of the passive, casual racism we talk about when we say “it’s on the left, too.” This comes from ppl w/BLM in their profiles. So, let me ask you this: What have these two men done that make them more qualified than our current VP?
After nearly four centuries, Harvard hires its first Black woman/POC president. There was one woman, Drew Gilpin Faust, who served from 2007-18, but nearly 400 years of white men. How many of those men were investigated for plagiarism? I'll wait.
Reminder: Biden has appointed more Black women judges than any other president, and I think about this a lot. This shift in judicial representation could reverberate for generations & we should take more notice.

I like how he just tossed in "I almost exploded" as if it's the most normal thing in the world to be sitting there enraged, trying to control yourself, because a woman you just met, at a whole salad.
This seems so obvious to me, that I almost don’t want to type it, BUT *the entities behind the 2016 disinformation & foreign influence campaigns are at it again. And their goal is the same now as it was then: for Trump to win.* How is this not registering with folks?
@NoLieWithBTC
I’m sorry but I’m confused about which Republican Party is dead. The one that embraces fascism, or the one that stays silent while their colleagues embrace fascism.
I just read through the letter and the names, and this is essentially every Black woman you need on your side, from every corner of the country, in order to win an election. These are the community's leaders. Welp. Good luck if you lose them.
Conservatives are obsessed with the 1619 Project because they love racism. They need it. It’s their superpower. Yes, it’s a condensed explanation, but racism is really at the root of most things they’re passionate about.
Hint: They filmed it because they were the ones who felt threatened and knew that if anything happened, the video would be their evidence. It’s the same reason Christian Cooper filmed his encounter with Amy Cooper in Central Park.
Because this place has no guardrails, verified accounts have blamed the Baltimore bridge collapse on DEI, Biden, Meghan Markle, wokeness, and Jewish people.
I’m struggling to think of a woman in power that people actually like. At some point, when women rise and gain actual power — useful political power — people turn.
This part: Project 2025 wants to prohibit the FBI from combatting disinformation and misinformation spread by foreign adversaries.
Ask yourselves, *why* would you not want to stop foreign actors from harming America.
How are so many people (under 65) getting booster shots? I’m not complaining, just curious. Are ppl being less than forthright about their health status?
And how will FIVE people use one, single bike? 5 ppl are going to steal a bike in public, film it, then post to social media? Especially given the news cycle and what happens to young Black men who make waves of any kind. Plausible is not the word that comes to mind.
A 4th Ferguson protestor, Bassem Masri, has died. Two protestors were murdered in 2014 (unsolved) and a 3rd death was ruled a suicide (although his family is doubtful). Circumstances for Masri’s death have yet to be released.
I need a good, messy French film where everyone's lives are falling apart, and they have hushed, cryptic conversations about it at a chic brasserie, to lift my spirits.
Every time a celebrity says something honest about republicans, they claim they've never heard of them. Even if they're an absolute legend. Like "who's Stephen King? Who's Ellen Barkin?" It would be hilarious if it weren't so predictable.
@JordanUhl
I just don't see how you "grow the tent" this way. I don't know why this is lost on Sanders, et al. It's getting smaller, especially w/Warren in the race. Trying to be non-emotional here; but purely from a pragmatic stance, this makes no sense coming from an active campaign.
I know more about where Fani Willis keeps her cash, and who she went to Aruba with, than I know about the 8 children who were shot at a Super Bowl parade. What are we even doing…
Framing a woman’s laughter as problematic, is a gendered insult. As Kate Manne pointed out in her book
#DownGirl
, in 2016, Hillary Clinton’s laugh was framed as “disgusting.” And sadly, this is something I’ve seen happen with VP Harris on *both* sides of the aisle.
Trump: Kamala, I call her laughing Kamala. Have you seen her laughing? She is crazy. You can tell a lot by a laugh. She is nuts. She is not as crazy as Nancy Pelosi.
P.S. it also makes me very sad (and very angry) when I hear (poorer) people exclaim that this is how the uber-wealthy “get ahead.” If we just forgo life’s little luxuries, we’ll be wealthy too. No, no you will not.
My 4 y/o is very upset that she can’t fly. Understandable. She just keeps jumping in the air while wearing pretend wings, and then collapsing in disappointment. Um, any advice?

After 4 years of Trump, ppl should be embarrassed to get on Beyonce’s internet and say they’re not voting. We lost Roe and are on the verge of losing contraception. The lgbtq community is being terrorized. Guns are the

I kept wondering how much time they had to spend tidying just to do this story. And that made me even angrier. And for some reason Eddie making popcorn triggered something in me...
Every time Queen Meghan 😉 does a public event, I think “god, she’s stunning,” then she starts talking and I’m reminded of how effortlessly brilliant she is. The RF really f-ed up on this one. But hey, they’ve still got Camilla.
