This really hit home. As a double minority (gay, black) I’ve managed to make it to senior management and received all sorts of accolades from across the business I’m currently in. But do I realistically think that they will let me have a permanent seat at the executive table as my next career move? Even when I know…

The IRS–wait, let me sure I’ve got this—purposefully sent stimulus checks to more than 1 million dead people?

Doing his job?

“Pet to threat” perfectly explains the infuriating phenomenon in sports of “Shut up and dribble” or “These millionaires should be grateful” that only seems to apply to Black athletes.

My black coworker and I discuss this all the time. People in our organization are only comfortable working with people who look like them. That’s a nationwide, if not worldwide, phenomenon. A couple of weeks ago on the obligatory “take the pulse of the one black person in our group” call one of my bosses asked me what…

This is very powerful. I followed your thread on Twitter and it broke my heart. As an Indian-American woman I’ve experienced so much of what you describe here, including being told I had a “chip on my shoulder” for asking for a raise to bridge a small part of the $40,000 salary gap between me and the white man who had…

You’re just missing the louder dog whistle. That one is clearly saying “YOU NEED TO GO BUY MORE GUNS TO PROTECT YOURSELF” to the audience, who are already inclined to do that, and just needed a little push.

You could just shorten that and simply say: they believe rights are for whites.

Well, it is the language the Bible was written in.

Yeah, like, what does Nadler have to lose? Like, does he think his own constituents are gonna be mad at him for having Gohmert thrown out? Just show them the video of him banging his ring on the mic to stop people from talking.

I’m all for a “well-regulated militia.” Unfortunately, the term “militia” has changed over the decades to mean anyone who can lift a firearm. “Militia” used to mean the National Guard.

And Ben is his uncle.

but is there gwent?

I have given birth to none. I have fostered seven in my home. I have financially supported two Africans throughout their childhood. I am auntie to none by blood, I am auntie to at least 10 otherwise. I have pics of Japanese, Ethiopian and Caucasian kids on my mantel right now. But I take great care NOT to elevate…

Next Gaetz will claim Jemima is his Aunt.

There is no “moral victory” or “being the better person” when dealing with ignorant republican bullies. The republican delegation is petty and brutal. Like all bullies, they only respond to force.

This is rehashed every time the game is brought up I know but man I really wish there was a third person option for this. I have the same issue with stealth in first person and in general, have an easier time with perception in 3rd. I absolutely love everything I’m seeing about this, and if it even hits 1/100th of the…

The 2nd amendment really doesn’t apply to black people, because many black people refuse to have anything to do with something that would just give a racist cop or citizen yet another reason to shoot or kill them.  They may have the “right” to bear arms, but they don’t have the “freedom” to, without dire consequences…

“When they go low we go high” hasn’t exactly worked out very well for us, has it? Because going high doesn’t work when you’re dealing with fascists.
