Here’s why. The GOP has spent decades blaming all the problems of Black people on “single mothers” and promoting “marriage” as a solution to a whole host of economic and social problems, especially in the Black community. The Bush administration had a whole initiative to promote marriage as some kind of panacea, never…

I will breathe easier in a few days. It sounds like this pregnancy was easier; what she went through before was scary and unnecessary.

I just don’t have time to read an article about all the racist shit Ron DeathSatan has done. I have other stuff to do today.

I’m mystified as how anyone can say this would be “an effective tool for Haley,” given that she has the same liability — being a woman of color — trying to appeal to a voter base to whom this is most likely to be seen as a liability (and both Harris and Haley have Indian ancestry so she’s really calling attention to…

He’s an immigrant from Colombia whose dad was a wealthy doctor.

He may not be. He had to drop out last time because he wasn’t the craziest MAGA in the race, and that could happen again. Ohio has a line of crazy MAGAs waiting to step up.

The political columnist at the publication that I edit here in Cleveland, Ohio, just wrote about this here: https://coolcleveland.com/BXwsI. (She’s working on her PhD in American history and heads the Cleveland Civil War Round Table; Moreno has a bachelors in business administration. Also, she’s Black.)

This whole discussion takes me back to my tennis days. Justine Henin could openly cheat or bitch out the referees and no one saw anything, but just let Serena not smile enough in her post-match press conference and oh boy, the shit hit the fan.

When I was a “community leader” (monitor) on the AOL tennis boards back in the day, I could always tell the white male posters from the Black male posters on the Serena board. The latter did not describe her that way! Anyone who held up Anna Kournikova as a model of what a tennis player should be was definitely white.…

We can’t even get sensible gun control — believe me, “gun confiscation” isn’t even in the realm of possibility. What’s sad is that it IS used all the time to fight against sensible gun control. And that, as this case proves, is desperately needed. No six-year-old gets their hands on a gun without some gross adult…

The same Briahna Joy Gray who once mocked the late, great John Lewis? Saying in response to an innocuous tweet he posted about spending part of his Christmas holiday playing with his cats that “He’d throw those cats under the bus for the DNC.” Sounds like this pair deserve each other.

Nixon should be on there too.

Where are North Carolina Senator Jesse Helms & Mississippi Governor Ross “Our negroes are happy with things as they are; they don’t want to vote” Barnett? I wrote Helms a lot of disapproving letters when I was in high school. Barnett was before my time but he was a real piece of (racist) work.

You have the annoying and under-experienced Cori Bush but not Lauren Underwood or Joe Neguse, who have accomplished tons more than Bush has in a mere two terms in Congress? And neither one is even 40 yet! Disappointing. Bush, like AOC, is mostly good at garnering attention, not acquiring accomplishments.

Hard to take any of the criticism seriously after seeing the words “such as Candace Owens.”

If Kyrsten Sinema can dress the way she does in the US. Senate, I don’t see a problem with this young man wearing a dashiki, although his photo with him in it fills me with an urge to go listen to some Pharaoh Sanders.

I think Black parents should organize to sue & their case shouldn’t be hard to prove. Maybe when hundreds of Black parents sue, they’ll re-think this.

Please make it stop. The entire culture of policing in the country needs to be revamped from top to bottom.

Also he’s good at what he does. He’s trained & ready. He’s a worthy successor to Nancy Pelosi.

So much truth here. I got so tired of hearing (mostly) white male pundits prior to the election going ‘Oh, no one cares about abortion anymore. It’s all about the economy.” Reproductive justice absolutely is about economic issues; in fact, decisions about childbearing are the most important economic choices women can…
