This is why Karen Bass will win in November. Folks resort to lies & it turns people smooth dafuq off from their movement. Karen Bass is Baptist, has always been Baptist, and will eventually die Baptist. When bs like this starts happening you know the numbers don’t look good.
Sam@samd.bsky.social · yesterdayit really should be a bigger story that Karen Bass enthusiastically supports the cult of Scientology
I swear to goodness TOO MANY people ignored Black Women when we warned them about what reelecting the orange demon would do. Now they're on Aretha Franklin's internet screaming & yelling about things that could have been avoided by electing the smart Black Lady with the funny laugh We told you so!
Brian Cardone@cardonebrian.bsky.social · 4h agoTaraji P Henson tried to warn us that Project 2025 would hurt our most vulnerable, but y’all are over here screaming about Leader Jeffries meeting with Kushner. Stop the faux outrage and get your shit together, we have an election to win. Stay focused people and get out the VOTE!
I can understand exactly why something happens and still think it’s fucking annoying. 😂
Sagittarius: People will find you too sensitive to criticism but they won’t understand that criticism killed your father in a boating “accident” that the police refuse to investigate.
This is why I’m not up for the “vote blue no matter who” lectures at any time of the day- least of all on any day in “these times” that ends with “day”. This is why I’m currently politically homeless and have zero interest encouraging folks to disenfranchise themselves for midterms..🤷🏽♀️
Translation: "If racists can't express themselves freely without fear of social or professional consequences, even when it drives innocent people to death, the foundation of academia itself will crumble." You're a profoundly shitty person. You should be ashamed. And so should your mother.

Dear white people, For the millionth time, do NOT call Black people “articulate.” This is NOT the compliment you people intend it to be. You are coming off as surprised and condescending without even knowing it. - Black Management
It was right there in #Project2025 that too many people dismissed and were too lazy to read or listen to those who did.

Joseph In THEE OC 🇺🇸🇲🇽🇮🇱🏳️🌈@ocjoseph424.bsky.social · 20h agoI haven’t lived in the city of L.A. proper since 1986, therefore I can’t vote for Mayor. However, I’m noticing a coordinated effort by the left to smear Karen Bass as much as possible. That can only mean she’s doing something right and is going to win in November.
If you’re losing your mind at Karen Bass thinking food trucks shouldn’t be parked immediately outside of restaurants as if restaurants aren’t also small businesses you can just say you hate small businesses & lose elections more often than you already do outside of the bluest parts of the country.
Full stop: If you voted against your own interest, you voted for Project 2025. If you protest voted/uncommitted/leave it blank/not voted, you voted for Project 2025. You helped usher in food chain instability.
Nikki was so incredibly transparent and talented. She held nothing back. The only way to feel free as a woman is to say the things instead of carrying them like an extra titty, heavy and useless.
Seems like if you had solid reasons, you'd share them. "Judge Michael Chitty denied the retrial motion in a half-page order following a two-day hearing this week near Dallas, citing a review of the evidence and arguments. He did not elaborate." apnews.com/article/texa...

Say. Racism. @broadwaybabyto.bsky.social
Kelly@broadwaybabyto.bsky.social · 18h agoGary, Indiana is 77% percent Black. Thousands have been without power for nearly two weeks. Many are without safe water. Yet every data center is operational & using enormous amounts of both power and water. This is what oligarchy looks like. Everyone suffers so the 1% can make even more.
It’s racism, Kelly. You should name it.

Racism—you folks talk about it in code—SO it very overtly everyday-but can’t seem to recognize it&say it clearly. You are not collectively good people or anything close. Racism is the sole reason we are here in America. Shame on all of you for never collectively taking real time to make real change!
It will go down as one of the greatest acts of quiet powerful resistance. They are shook and floundering unable to understand and incapable of stopping. Keep it going. *should say “us” on screen not US 🥴
They are neglecting Gary because it's largely a Black community. People in Gary know they're getting ignored because they're Black. Why is NIPSCO not being scrutinized by the MSM? Racism by neglect is far too common. Black folks deserve better than this.
DemCast USA@demcast.com · yesterdayOver 20,000 Gary, IN residents have been without power for nearly two weeks following severe storms. NIPSCO reported over $500M in first-half profits, leaving residents feeling abandoned. Communities are stepping up with meals & charging hubs. 🎥 btnewsroom
Sorry, obscure regional gas station or whatever the fuck you are. We can't hear you over the sound of us being the world's 4th-largest economy.
Who? Raman? She’s been there 2X as long as Bass & is in charge of homelessness. It’s probably a good thing she won’t win in November & hopefully someone will fill her seat that actually does something about the homeless population in LA🤷🏾♀️ Have a great evening

At the end of the day, by midterms if the universal message isn't beating MAGA, Trump, or the Heritage Foundation, then neither DSAs, Progressives, Establishment Dems, etc., platform or agendas will matter.
All that Reagan Era "Welfare Queen" stuff didn't just resonate with *conservative* white America. It resonated with liberal white America, too. Lots think the same shit, but they pretend to just "be okay with it", because that lets them think they're better people than their GOP counterparts.

snarkylicious@snarkylicious.bsky.social · 20h agoI just have to say that I suspected it for years but only last year did some one say to me that Black people get things for their vote and it's time for white people to get things too. And that was a leftist soooo, that's where a lot of it comes from.
Strength is allowing yourself to be vulnerable and trusting that the person you’re allowing to witness that part of you will not use it against you.
yep, i will note that the fugitive slave act was used to try to kidnap free blacks and sell them into slavery
Ansley Erickson@ansleyerickson.bsky.social · yesterdayBreaking my heart this morning: “Fitting ankle monitors on noncitizens without a criminal history who remain in compliance with their immigration cases has little precedent.” True in the narrowest sense. False given how the history of slavery and peonage roars through each part of this story.
