I love Rick and his travel videos. He’s a WA native, lives north of Seattle in Everett. Can’t say that cows are better fed than kids but I agree with the greater sentiment in this video. @ektashahmd.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/C34qG...

The biggest mistake this country ever made (after the obvious ones) is not purging the Confederacy and its entire ideology from this country when it had the chance. EVERYTHING that is wrong right now can be traced back to Confederate ideology and mentality. The GOP is The Confederacy reborn.

And here’s the thing about “Uncommitted”: It ain’t just about Kamala Harris, Uncommitted was actively trying to derail Joe Biden. So your entreaties about voting blue no matter who fall on deaf ears because that’s not something “Uncommitted” even believes.

I will say El Sayed has been engaging the Black community faster than Talarico did. But will it be enough? I don’t know because at least Talarico was never Uncommitted and Talarico never has Michelle Obama’s name in his mouth.

I want the statement "Black Americans are conservative" to absolutely die in a fire. It's a lie from the pits of hell. Black America's record demonstrates that, as a whole, we are the MOST progressive racial/ethnic demographic in the United States and it's not even close.

The days of the Black vote being baked in because you have a D beside your name is over. You will need to earn our vote or make up for it with another demographic.

So anyway, I expect all the El-Sayad stans who called both Kamala Harris and Haley Stevens genociders will, now that both women have endorsed him following his 1.3% win, say that he's tainted by the association and they can no longer support him. If they're consistent, I mean.

The days of the Black vote being baked in because you have a D beside your name is over. You will need to earn our vote or make up for it with another demographic.

If you won a primary it does not become the job of your former opponent to convince people to vote for you. Your opponent may choose endorsement and may choose to encourage support but ultimately it is your responsibility to convince the voters who were skeptical of you to now support you.

I would also like to remind all that on 11/6/24 Black folks are done with the harm reduction and saving the country. Many of us put on our on oxygen masks. You may not like some of the paths that we may travel, but no other group have more to preserve this place than Black Americans.

Everyday I worry more about the midterms and our chances for getting out of this shit. White people have learned the wrong lessons. Leaning into your demographics isn’t the way. All you prove is that the Black and Indigenous have no allies, and there is not left or right with white people.

As the Michigan primaries unfold, Charlotte Alter, who interviewed Abdul El-Sayed in 2018, provides an unsettling picture of him, saying he can't work with others, doesn't care if Dems lose, thinks Obama's passing the ACA was bad, and sees himself as a stern surgeon inflicting pain on Americans. 1/

Bay Area friends: would you consider opening your home to these two cuddly cats? A friend found them behind a gas station. Their sibling, a black cat, got adopted, but it appears no one likes orange cats. They are being kept in a bathroom for the time being and need a home.

A friend of mine found these three kittens behind a Bay Area gas station. They are tame, vaccinated, and incredibly affectionate. Unfortunately, she's unable to keep them and I'm trying to find them a home. They are at risk of going to a shelter. Bay Area people, are you open to adopting?

This is the reality inside ICE detention centers. Children are being forced into jail-like conditions while this Administration strips away their basic human rights. We cannot allow this stand. We must hold this inhumane Administration accountable!

🚨 BREAKING: Tarrant County, TX is trying to eliminate HALF of their polling locations ahead of the midterm elections. This isn't about budget constraints, this is about denying Black voters and voters of color equal access to the polls! But that won't happen on our watch.

I have my issues with Sunny, but she’s right with these points. Most people who grow up with privilege and/or a sense that their way of life is the default lack empathy until they are affected. Why is it so hard to care unless it hits you directly? youtube.com/shorts/RXtWg...

Portland was so quick to blight and seize property (vacant & occupied) in Black neighborhoods for the construction of Emanuel, I-5, or just because (see all the still empty lots in Albina).

They're probably hoping you won't hear about this. But tomorrow in TX, Tarrant County officials meet to vote on a GOP plan to cut almost HALF of Election Day voting locations, plus 8 early voting locations, some of them on campuses. Not hard to guess why. fortworthreport.org/2026/07/30/t...
