A friend of mine was in a grocery store yesterday. Although the store asked customers to buy a maximum of 5 bottles of hand sanitizer, she observed a lovely gentleman clear the entire shelf of product. Like, dozens of bottles. When asked politely by staff not to take the last of their supply, he screamed that he was a…

Seriously, I knew and went to school with a hundred Pete Buttigiegs (+ or - the military service). I’ve met perhaps one or two people with a resume and set of accomplishments like Cory Booker’s. [One of them was Cory Booker.]

This is one of my favorite movie moments of all time. 

hell i thought harriot’s posts HELPED.

My favorite part is how his supporters want to blame a few blog posts on The Root for supposedly tanking his campaign 😂😂😂

For me, this is the biggest point. That and, as you mention, how black folks are expected to be the teachers, unpaid teachers on their own time of folks like Pete who, when they end up suffering because they don’t know jumping jack shit about it, turn around and blame -us- for their problems.

Just take the criticism and sit with it why don’t you?

Here is my comment, white person reading this. Go back up and read this essay again. Think about it. Then don’t say shit, because truly you ain’t got shit to say.

Good. I mean, Pete’s not a horrible person, but I cannot for the life of me figure out why he was doing so well. Why was he so far ahead of someone as experienced and accomplished as Warren? And if that’s an apples to oranges (moderate to progressive) comparison, why was he ahead of Biden?

The teachers, those we entrust our children to, centered themselves and their feelings in this humiliation exercise by doing NOTHING to stop this recruiter except shielding their own psyches by leaving our children to the wolf!

Janelle Monae seemed pretty suspicious of him as well.

Barbara Boxer’s sigh was everything.

Also, he didn’t release anyone. He said that he had identified three that specifically accused him of saying something wrong (nothing about any suits alleging wrongful acts) and that those women should contact the Bloomberg company. Didn’t say how they would know they were “the three”, who to contact at the company,…

“After receiving public pressure from Senator Elizabeth Warren to release three former female employees from their NDAs, Bloomberg did so.”

Why the fuck would Warren know why Bloomberg lied? Why does it matter? She’s not responsible for him and his intentions. She’s not his mom.

Won’t link it here, but if people want to go find it, last night the Daily Show’s twitter posted a compilation video of Matthews being extremely creepy and gross to women on TV. So here’s hoping he’s on his way out!

The important takeaway here is that People Magazine has a writer named MARY HONKUS.
