Since some of my new followers are following bc of my Palestine support, I'm going to introduce myself a little. I'm an Indigenous American, my father was Cherokee and Choctaw Native American, my mom was of Mexican ancestry, her people were in Texas before white Americans
My life is ruined over 5 needed ambulance trips for my Mom that we couldn’t afford but others are eating golden lobster. Depressed and numb right now and this doesn’t help.

For me it was I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. My remaining parent was having a hard time accepting that her uncle was abusing me and she was the only one I told back then so I had no support but at least I had the book. Of course that one was frequently banned too.
Centrists are attacking a brown Muslim woman for calling Chelsea Clinton out for her attacks on Ilhan Omar. And engaging in white fragility by complaining that the woman who called Chelsea out is attacking “a pregnant woman.” Didn’t know pregnant = exempt from criticism.
@seananmcguire
I am so so sorry. Thank you for telling your story. I was abused from ages 9 to 14 by a male relative. People need to hear our stories because they are an important aspect of this horrible "debate".

I made the mistake last night of losing it on a Warren supporter who says they won’t support Bernie because Berners are angry. I revealed some of my economic struggles hoping to get them to think but they just laughed and got on their high horse over me “lecturing an educator.”

Please, more Berners held their nose for Hillary in 16 than Hillary’s supporters were willing to do for Obama. And I voted for Jill in California but if I lived elsewhere I would have forced myself to vote for Hillary.
@AllOnMedicare
When my mom almost died waiting to be old enough for Medicare and then wound up $30,000 in debt for 11 days in the hospital when she couldn’t wait for care any more. That’s just under three years pay for her.
@BetoORourke
Ted Cruz is helping perpetuate rape culture right now. Survivors are angry and fed up, and I am not surprised he is being shamed out of a restaurant. Honestly shaming is one of the few things average Americans have at our disposal right now.
@SinglePayFacts
Employers aren’t going to pay for the funerals of people who die without health care are they? Then they can take a trillion seats and shut the fuck up.
@Marelisa
@Fact
I was being harassed by telephone for years, and while that was going on, I had men asking for my number. I would tell them I don’t give my number to men I just met. Not worth the pleading and insisting they were different and special. Should have given fake numbers.
@ebruenig
I hate having to speak abt women this way but there is a certain sector among us who seem 2 think that b/c men have gotten away with shitty behavior for millennia then women should be allowed to get away shitty behavior too. Men do it too shouldn't be an excuse but here we are.
@RenegadeLadyEff
Are all women upper class and able to spend time at brunch? No? Then you're deliberately misrepresenting what the leftist argument about brunch is all about!
@Noor_ayni19
@ToddThaGod
Looks like it. The obituary names the mom and step-dad as survivors (but not the dad) and yet the preceeded in death section only mentions the grandparents which makes since if he was ashamed of his father.
@msolurin
I was screaming “OMG killer!” at my friend’s house once many years ago because her chihuahua Killer was tearing up my ankles. Her neighbors never came to check on us, lol, so you’re lucky! And Raheem is cute! ☺️
Liberal white women are not above demonizing Palestinian men, men of color as monsters. They are desperate to dehumanize Palestinian men so no one flinches as they're killed.
Clear evidence my ass: Genocidal Zios like Mairav pretends to care about Palestinians once in a while to attract clout and pretend to be a liberal.
But she is as genocidal as any of those settlers shooting Palestinians or soldiers bombing sleeping families.
@chrislhayes
Chris, just saying as someone with bipolar myself, the anti-Semitism, anti-Blackness, etc are pre-existing. What the manic state does is just remove the inhibitions and filters. But the fake children thing sounds like an manic episode venturing into psychosis symptoms.
So, the liberals are mad at Chris Hayes tonight because he told the truth about the establishment of the Democratic Party. To that all I can say to them, is, open your eyes, your ears, use your noggins, before it is too late!
@ScotCuthbertson
That is very sad. As an American, I would expect this of Edinburgh, Texas (or almost any American town), not Edinburgh, Scotland. I am so sorry this is happening.
@abolishnato
I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone. The Palestinians are the primary victims and victors here but this is getting scary for everyone else too. 😖
@AyeshaASiddiqi
Sadly I've seen some Native Americans do this too but other Natives are laughing at them & reminding them of our history. My ancestor was a war chief who literally went to battle because white settlers killed his daughter, & as I had said on my TL he would have understood Hamas.

@_SJPeace_
Part of me is relieved they aren't arresting this elderly rabbi in a vicious manner, but then I think, who am I kidding, it's still vicious, they should still be ashamed of themselves!
@zellieimani
To teenage me after I read a Psychology Today article saying teens have a chemical imbalance that lets them stay up late and I tried to convince her to let me stay up: “Oh I’ll balance your chemicals, alright!” 😂
Dems are introducing a "Medicare for More" bill tomorrow that would offer a buy-in to anyone over age 50. Supporters call it a less-disruptive path to
#Medicare4All
while critics see it as a cop-out that keeps a predatory system largely in place
@richferrer
@SaveChildsHeart
@Independent
What a despicable thing to say, dehumanizing and a lot like what the Nazis might have said about Jews except here you're positioning Israelis as the benevolent saviors of Palestinians, meanwhile Israel kills Palestinian children apace. Always remember Mohammed Tamimi...
@JillFilipovic
I may be an ex-evangelical converting to Catholicism but at least my feminism doesn’t include voting for rapists and telling survivors “sorry, but Trump” when they’re understandably disillusioned!
@Russian_Starr
For people who are so sure of themselves Kamala supporters seem compelled to threaten Bernie supporters. Too bad we don’t give in to threats.
@jusmas27
That’s always fun when that happens. Was talking to a privileged blue check white lady in a thread who instead POC hate Bernie, she got offended and tried to call me a white lady so of course I pointed out that I’m a mixed WOC and she deleted her tweet in embarrassment, lol.
@mikewintersaway
@MasterCunt4
@WarMonitors
And even if he was taking Russia's side, as a Ukraine supporter I wouldn't really blame him since many outside of Europe & the US see Russia as an answer to US & Euro imperialism. I disagree bc I think just bc they're against West doesn't make them a friend but I understand it!

Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with you, blessed art thou among women and blessed is the Fruit of thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the our of our death.
Christ have mercy! 😔

I’m a WOC and I don’t care that Bernie’s not a Democrat. He’s fought harder for me and others than most Democrats. You don’t speak for me.

My granduncle was killed by police in 1965. Inmates too scared to tell what they knew. Declared a suicide *before* the autopsy. Nothing changes.

@ChelseaClinton
@Ilhan
It’s not mere disagreement. Chelsea and others were determined to crush Ilhan for criticizing Israel, and so doing they endangered Ilhan. For her to show to a vigil for Islamophobia victims was hypocrisy.
