And I’m just going to update you here. Black women save the world everytime. Have you thanked a black woman today? Have you hired a black woman today? Have you granted a business loan to a black woman today? Have you endorsed meaning spent political capital in a black woman today?

H/T to @ameliashowalter.bsky.social for pointing out that the above chart is from 2024! For 2026, white women voters were ~5.77% less than men. So for every 100 white votes for Trump's agenda, ~48 came from white women, and ~51 came from white men. Close! But no cigar.

Chart showing that 46% of white women vote GOP and are 38% of voters. 53% of white men are GOP, and are 35% of voters.

I would just like to point out that nearly 100% of black women voted in the best interest of everyone. AND we are largely unemployed regardless of experience, education and tenure. Have you thanked a black woman today? Have you offered a black woman a job today?

Two things to notice about this chart: 1) Every group in the US other than "white men" and "white women" reject Trump's agenda. 2) More of the votes that tried to ensure Trump's agenda were cast by white women than men. 59% Trump agenda support, but a whopping 36% of the voters. The biggest block!

Chart showing that only white women and white men vote majority GOP. Additionally, 36% of voters were white women, voting GOP at 59%. 31% of voters were white men, voting GOP at 61%.

Tonight, the American people sent a clear message — they want a politics that brings people together rather than divides them, and leaders who offer concrete solutions to the challenges they face.

Awesome news @govpritzker.illinois.gov However I’ve found Chicago companies to be one of the most biased employers in the country. Not anecdotal the data supports that. Especially for black educated women. I’ve gotten more traction outside of Chicago than inside. Is there an initiative to address?

ICYMI: Amrize, North America’s largest cement manufacturer, brought its new HQ here to Chicago — exemplifying our state’s reputation as a top destination for future-focused companies.

The Albanian people have been massively protesting for several consecutive days against slumlord crook Jared Kushner and Crimestress Ivanka seizing land in their country to the sum of billions of dollars to build a trashy resort. I hope they don’t stop until their evil corrupt deal is reversed.
