I think part of the problem was the absolute refusal to backdown over the easily defeated slogan “defund/abolish the police” and the awful leadership of the BLM organization

I have serious problems with how quickly cops are to shoot the people walking and driving the streets of the US, particularly when they are PoC. But I am sorry, this is not a hill I will fight on.

I’ve said it before, but the money is gone. This isn’t the first time activist have been swindled, and it won’t be the last. It’s an easy grift and should be easy to prevent, but no one even thinks about the logistics of these groups. You need lawyers and accountants to keep people clean and to be able to show receipts…

This is the first real divide that people can see in that BLM is not really an organization that stands for people’s rights. It’s an organization that raises money and only god knows where that money is going. That is why you keep hearing there is a difference between BLM the organization and that statement that is…

The problem is that testosterone permanently increases bone and muscle density. Since trans women got that juice starting in vitro, it is an unfair advantage - and more so if they transitioned after puberty. HRT helps in that it eliminates the “performance enhancement” aspect of ongoing testosterone production, but it…

Which broke, with wearing predictability, into old tribal divisions. There’s a lot written on this that’s worth reading.

Libya wasn’t stable, but you are conflating a Civil War with a popular revolution. Obama himself has spoken about his regret that more wasn’t done by the British and the French to pick up the pieces after we deposed Gadaffi and walked away whistling, but you simply can’t do things like that without a plan for the…

Kind of felt that way too.

This ought to show people exactly what Barrack is all about and who he represents. This wasn’t a mistake on his part, it was on brand.

I’m not sure how a strike that lasts a single game accomplishes that. But then what the fuck do I know? I live in a country that doesn’t respect labor and apparently can’t do without it for one damn day but not so much so that they can survive not having their fucking sports. If anyone in this country is in a position…

People legitimately want to see if Biden can maintain a train of thought when not reading off a teleprompter. Like it or not, the guy is freaking senile. Everyone knows they’d really be voting for Harris, who polled at 3% in the primaries.

John McCain was a horrible, repulsive man — a thief, a racist, and a war criminal driven almost entirely by spite who never lost his hard-on for bombing and killing poor people all over the world. He also tried to put Sarah fuckin Palin in line for the presidency. Naturally, he’s now a hero of the Resistance.

See, here is the thing, Democrat voters like to see their representatives putting ethics over politics. One of the big holes in the Harris campaign is that she has a deeply unethical past with her prosecutorial history and its role in keeping people in dangerous prison environments. We want to see her make some amends…

Maybe it’s time for Democrats to stop working against the work of the left

I was one of the few who watched it on Yahoo back in the day and I absolutely still love this little show! It’s so good!!

Shooting themselves in the foot to reach across the aisle.

Yeah, the fact that The Squad is getting sidelined rn when they should be highlighted by the DNC is quite telling, IMO

Susan B. “I will cut off this right arm of mine before I will ever work or demand the ballot for the Negro and not the woman” Anthony

I’ve read two comments correcting this article so far.

Of course, many black women were still subjected to the same archaic, racist voter disenfranchisement tactics regardless as they were before of such strides. (Not that Susan B. “I will cut off this right arm of mine before I will ever work or demand the ballot for the Negro and not the woman” Anthony would have cared)…
