PSA: When you shade HRC you are essentially telling the 94% Black women who voted for her that we have no fucking idea what we were doing.
WE donβt like that shit.
At least 2 things WE know very well: making good potato salad and voting for the BEST candidate
Get it together.
In my ER room being triaged for COVID.
Iβve been feeling βoffβ since Tuesday but thought it was just stress
Woke up this AM like someone is sitting on my chest. Came out of nowhere. Nurse line sent me here ASAP. That COVID swab is no joke.
Good vibes welcome
Rachel Maddow just spoke truth about Bernie: if he continues to stay in the race-when itβs mathematically impossible for him to catch up (like tonight) heβs putting the health of voters at stake by having people to come out & vote in the rest of primaries that wonβt matter

Glad you asked:
1. Gave me a ZERO student loan balance
2. Capped my uncles insulin to $35
3. Ensured funds that made every social service program in the US breathe a little easier
4. Put women who look like me at ALL the tables
5. Stabilized my Momβs rx costs
6. COVID π

As someone who works with the aging- I cannot stress how damaging the ageist comments and dementia references are damaging to the work weβre trying to do out here
Forgetting a couple of things out of a 40 year jam packed career is NOT dementia
Stuttering is also not dementia
π§΅ As a Black woman- Iβm trying to wrap my head around the fact that a Black man is being eviscerated for doing what so many of you hashtag, birdapp, & book about- not accepting the degradation of a Black woman- when most of yβall hand US worse violence via erasure & misogynoirβ¦
Could just be me- but has anyone thought that maybe...just maybe...Harry is in such a healthy space that he is not rushing to reconcile if it means sacrificing his health, family, and growth?
Iβm loving him more and more and more. Out here living and living and shit! Yaasss!
Joe Biden could show up with his underwear over his pants while flashing Star Trek handsigns on that stage tomorrow and Iβm STILL voting him now.
Told yβall when you forced Kamala out that I would make βCornPop for Prezzyβ my lifeβs work.
Die mad-thatβs the point βπΎ
I donβt care if this loses me followers but these continued βthreatsβ and βfinger waggingβ are a mess and full of audacity.
What is happening to Palestinians is absolutely awful. PERIODT. But can someone please explain to me how throwing away the marginalized HEREβ¦

@POTUS
chose to move ahead on Infrastructure since the GOP wants to block voting rights. But then again- Iβm just a trucker wife who likes for my husband to not be dead just for doing his job getting YOU the products YOU needβ¦
I texted my 70 yr old Mom (a Black Woman) what email message from the DNC βinspiredβ her to vote her whole life since she was 18yrs old so we can maybe use that verbiage now since Iβm seeing a lot of βDNC message blamingβ for folks not voting right:
Hereβs how it went.
The End
βProgressivesβ championing the hope that Biden loses so the Dem party will collapse-completely ignoring the fact that if Biden loses-the Social Security, Medicare and ACA goes too and this will devastate Black and Brown communities nationwide is why they can kiss my whole ass

realize that the word βwokeβ has been weaponized to prop up racism, bigotry, xenophobia and allyship and that she may want to actually Google some things before trying to shame humans for wanting to push back on those things?

For the first time in my life-I am watching a woman who looks like me- hold her own and command the world stage as the 2nd most powerful leader on the planet-not just someoneβs wife.
I feel bad for those of you so mired in your own stuff that youβre missing it.

youβre signaling to you Black girls everywhere that we donβt deserve to shine on OUR own. Not cute .
Sorry but not- but midterms are starting NOW basically and if we donβt act like this current make up (Dems holding the House, Senate, etc) is THE SHINIEST fucking car on the planet and all we need to make it more dope AF is MORE seatsβ¦yβall ainβt even ready.
How
@KamalaHarris
was treated last night in comparison to her counter parts is every Black women in a meeting, presentation and board room. Right down to the continued mispronounciation of our names and increased interruptions.
If us saying that out loud bothers you-why?
Thanks for the good vibes and the posts-this is some scary shit. I feel horrible still and the waiting sucks. But itβs also horrible to be here in the ER by yourself since they wonβt let family in. Logging in & seeing you all- helped. Thank you. Iβm outπ

spent an hour long meeting yesterday going over both Warrenβs and Harrisβs resumes and experience and now Iβm more sure than ever before that many of you are selling Senator Harris short because youβre more comfortable with white women breaking that glass ceiling first
Piling on:this stinks of the classic racial bias tht always concludes the resume of the white application superior,the white candidate is always most qualified. It insults the accomplishments of every woman of color on Bidenβs list & is political unhelpful
My husband is an owner operator (trucker)-has been for over 20 yrs. He loves his job. He put me through graduate school. We are middle class. Iβm a social worker. Thanks to the tRump tax sham-weβll be using the money we planned for IVF- to PAY our fucking taxes this year ππΎ

@icecube
Sis- Iβm going to need you to get a civics lesson first and then read more about things besides the tired ass Crime Bill talking points. If you think 4 more yrs of tRump works for you- exercise your right to vote and vote for him- but these retreads are exhausting
This comment is the most spot on.
Iβve never been a fan so no love lost for me but yes- in THESE times with THESE stakes- Iβm peeping the company you keep and moving accordingly.

This is THE only primary candidate who didnβt cross the finish line- that my respect has grown for each and every time she opens her mouth and drops receipts π§Ύ. She stays engaged.
#respect
FINALLY!!! She doesnβt seek the spotlight, flipped and kept her seat, and is just focused on the work. May she get all the flowers and recognition she deserves π
Sinema is not up for Re-election until 2024 and has shown that she is perfectly fine with you yelling at her while she drops a deuce in the bathroom- she is not going to pivot and so if youβre really an βadvocateβ how about advocating for us to keep our Georgian Senator instead?
Just watched

commit journalistic malpractice that is disgusting. Posing a question as devilβs advocate: βitβs not like Joe Biden was out here using his platform to warn us in January.β HELLO!!! Didnβt he write an op-Ed to warn us exactly in January?! WTF!
I was asked if I wanted to be in an article re:student loan debt and howβs Bidenβs plans will effect us Black borrowers.

Dear
@POTUS
- I too am a Social Worker with student loan debt for a profession that will never pay me enough to compensate for the advanced degree required. Thank you for stepping in to the max of your constitutionally sound powers and cancelling billions in student loan debt
Couple of thing:
1. Yes- I get itβs local and not corporate approved. But thereβs a reason why you sell your name for a franchise-so youβre still attached
2. I said thatβs a wrap FOR ME-There are no hashtags attached
3. Itβs STILL gonna be a wrap for ME til manager is fired π€·π½ββοΈ
And finallyβ¦the fact that you only feel comfortable disrespecting spaces of Black and brown folks and Jewish Americans (just because they are Jewish) BUT youβve never showed up at a MAGA event with that same disrespectful energy says EVERYTHING.
Snacks?
Iβm going to say something not liked but here goes:
More Black activists and Black pundits need to draw attention to the fact that White people are co-opting the movement and causing ALOT of damage and Black people and BLM are being blamed for it.
Enough is Enough.
Me sitting here in the living room staring at my packed suitcase since 3:45 AM cuz I was told last night we would be leaving at 4 AM to get on the road but the person who badgered me about leaving at 4AM βsharpβ- is STILL cutting them trees sound asleep @ 5:51 AM

I donβt wanna hear shit else about the 94 Crime Bill unless you want to have an educated discussion about ALL parts of it, why it was passed, who advocated FOR it & how it was misused to horrendous results

He ran a campaign geared specifically to pandering to everyone but the base. Many of us closed our π to the person so eager to take our π΅ and throw US under the bus. His campaign was only brilliant to those who center whiteness and so I hope you marinate on that and go to bed
Finding out
@danabrams
hates competent capable Black women (and has really awful teeth) is not the fact I thought Iβd wake up to. Again- men like this can never get over the fact that a Black Woman is at the head of the table instead of cleaning it
