Question: Am I the only one that remembers the story where the dem establishment and money machine anointed Kamala as the next nominee? I don't understand why this isn't a bigger story. It should be. There are no coniencedenses in politics folks observer.com/2017/07/clinto…
Now Kamala is the VP pick of the guy that we all know is mentally declining and she's slipping and saying "The Harris Administration." They are playing in y'alls faces 🤣🤣🤣 Hey, I know what y'all should do to fix this...vote, don't boo!
Please leave me the hell alone about the presidential election in 2020. I'm over it and been over it since March when I said I was done and focusing my energy towards direct action, mutual aid, community lead protests and organizing locally with my neighbors.
I know things won't change much come November regardless of who wins. Shit, honestly it's going to get worse and those 4 hours it'd take for me to vote in a presidential election where my EC vote won't matter, I could be doing something else more effective.
Just for funsies, because y'all love to ask so what do we do? Plenty of people have solid threads about how to take action. Books have been written and organizers of the past are still active today. Follow @queersocialism Also...
Also follow @HalfAtlanta and @MalaikaJabali and @DaShaunLH and @angryblkhoemo and so many others who have been doing organizing work all over the country, who regularly tweet out info, and join something, get with someone and figure out what you can do that really helps.
I almost forgot @andraydomise because they're tweets are fire and also covers international politics. Regular tweets about organizing as well. I enjoy these types of tweets.
Iran and Iranian people ain’t my enemy. They ain’t preventing me from having universal healthcare or stopping min wage increases. They aren’t building cop cities and defunding social programs in my community. Most importantly, they ain’t funding a genocide with my tax dollars!
The Democratic Party, Republican Party, and The US Govt is more of an enemy to me than Iran ever has or will be. They didn’t create the mass incarceration bill. They aren’t allowing companies to dump toxic chemicals in my neighborhood and communities! actionnews5.com/2025/02/15/air…
The Iranian government, nor the Iranian people are the reason why we lost Roe v. Wade in 2022! They are not my enemy, and I won’t be propagandized into believing so. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, ending right to abortion upheld for decades : NPRnpr.org/2022/06/24/110…
A thread on why Corey Booker actually enrages me using his tweets, record and data. He and Democrats are playing in my face, and I don’t like it. He didn’t stand for 24hrs in support of medicare for all, housing, raising the min wage, or Roe V Wade. This wasn’t a filibuster!
When he was running for the Democratic nomination, he knew how popular Medicare for all was, so he created a campaign around it. It’s been a while since he’s talked about it, though, but he was here for it. He said he’d work every day to make it happen!
Housing was another important thing for Corey Booker. Did he introduce any bill, grass organizations to work with, or other members of his party to push for a housing bill? It’s not like he isn’t aware of the problem.
Hear me now, quote me later, but the right/conservative shift y’all are about to see in every day people in America is going to be swift. This isn’t a new phenomenon. It’s in response to how our government is moving. People are trying to blend in and preserve themselves.
Celebrities, universities, corporate brands, social media influencers, your neighbors, your relatives, every day people will start talking and behaving in line with our current political climate. It’s already started. I be prepared for a different America, it won’t be pretty.
I said this back in January. I know enough history to know, most people will stand by silently to preserve themselves, or join in the chorus, thinking it’s going to save them. We’ve all seen this movie before, we know how it ends.
Someone a lot smarter than me on this topic articulated it better, but when they said people’s relationship with God and religion is rooted in abuse, so when we receive it from others, we see it as love, this is a good example.
I do not, it will not serve a God that believes giving me a stroke is a blessing. That harmful outcomes are lessons that I need to be taught for my betterment. That is not a god of benevolent love. I fully reject that type of love and care.
I wish I could find that thread to credit the person. They were linking people worshiping a god who they thank for punishment, their parents that beat them because they love them, to toxic relationships with romantic partners, then blame themselves for what happens to them.
I’mma say the hard thing. Kamala Harris did not lose the election because of racism and misogyny. That was a negligible reason at best. Rashida Talib, Ilhan Omar, and Summer Lee all won their seats in swing states VP Harris lost. Sit with the real reasons why she lost.
I know it’s easier to brush it off as racism and sexism. Going back on her own positions on immigration, min wage, health care and committing a genocide, and her saying she wouldn’t change a thing from Biden other than having Republicans in her cabinet, it wasn’t smart.
She started moving to the right of Trump or adopted some of his policies on the wall, climate change, fracking and was to the right of fucking Ronald Reagan, and Bush Jr on Israel!
I have high thoughts on how The US failure to do what needed to be done post Civil War, directly lead us to WW2 and Nazi’s, to the War on Terror, which brought us exactly where we are today with an open genocide. I wanna give y’all a History lesson to tie it all together so bad.
Jim Crow and Chatel Slavery in America pre-dates Nazis’s. It goes deeper than that. Hitler and his ideas from The US, which had the largest group of Nazi supporters outside of Germany during World War II. JStore won’t let me link, but here’s this time.com/5414055/americ…
This isn’t a conspiracy theory. I’m drawing a direct line from one historic event to today. I also happen to be high as fuck off Connecticut’s finest cannabis, so I’m in a zone. 😂 Anywho, more non JStore links about Jim Crow inspiring Nazi’s history.com/news/how-the-n…
