What this disgusting piece of 💩 is too dumb, greedy, complicit or hateful to realize is that people using these BENEFITS are UNABLE to work or DO but don’t make enough to survive. 6M of OUR tax dollars went to their latest 🗑️ investigation. I’d rather it go to those in need.

1/
Further, raising the debt ceiling is about ensuring that our country pays the debts it has ALREADY accrued. Tying the @GOP goal of making sure no one who needs help gets it — besides billionaires & corporations — to the debt limit is evil. But that’s what they all are. #Evil.

2/
Our tax dollars freely go to fund wars and to bail out corporations. No one bats an eyelash at that. But somehow using our money to help the poor, young, elderly and sick among us is somehow a step too far?

Who are we if we don’t care for those who are in need?!

3/
What is all this for if we can SEE people suffering, trying to stay afloat yet do nothing?

We live in a world where racist man-babies can waste 44B on a “toy” they have no mental or moral ability to run yet cry poverty when it comes to life-saving benefits for those in need.

4/
I actually don’t know why I’m so surprised by this. This is also the nation that sits idly by while people are slaughtered daily by guns.

We’ve lost the narrative. This experiment is failing.

We have got to do and BE better.

Voting for decent people is a start.

#Sheesh

This will make some of you uncomfortable. I’ve decided to post it anyway because I’ve spent my whole life uncomfortable in this country. You’ll survive.

Don’t hit me w/a #NotAll, either. Use that energy to work on the white women in your life this 100% applies to. YOU know them.
If you are upset or offended by this thread ask yourself: Where the lie resides about white women as collective?

If you don’t like the tone or language, ask yourself: What’s more indecent…the turn of phrase or the voting statistics that caused the original poster to say it all?
This is no longer about your feelings or discomfort or your tears.

We have seen them all weaponized on camera for years — that Karen name just rolls off y’all these days.

You’ve leaned in like the folks stealing porch packages right in front of ring cams in broad daylight.

It’s sad to see that the @TedLasso fandom is full of some of the same toxic-kind of fans found in #OUAT and #TWD.

Trust and know, this is NOT my first rodeo with you beasts and I will block with abandon to clear the field like I’ve done before.

1/
What this brand of “fan” always fails to realize it that how YOU see the world and YOUR agenda is not truth or fact.

It’s YOUR opinion.

You do NOT get to infer then decide something based on YOUR opinion and declare that it is the truth and then attack others over it.

2/
The LAST word on what I say, tweet or do is MY word.

I don’t lie or play clean-up. All my tweets remain.

I own what I say and ONLY what I say, NOT what you fail to comprehend.

I correct for clarity when need be & then it’s done.

I don’t play with my good name.

If you want to see a PERFECT example of a Karen attempting to weaponize her tears to get what she wants even if it ultimately causes bodily harm to a Black person, watch this.

As you watch, I want you to notice a few things…

*This will be a thread because I’m now annoyed*

1/
1) She thought that if she yelled for help & cried she would immediately get her way.

Why? Because historically that has always worked for them. That’s why they do it.

They don’t care if someone gets hurt. When inconvenienced — or God forbid, DENIED — yell for help & cry.

2/
2) When she saw she was being recorded she popped that work badge off her neck with the quickness.

Why? Because she saw that camera and knew that social media sleuths would have her name, job site and shoe size by lunch time.

She knew her antics would jeopardize that job.

There you go again. Who said you couldn’t say woke? You can and SHOULD.

Just not pejoratively.

Racists, homophobes and xenophobes have weaponized the word to stand in for anyone and anything they hate like Black folks, books and a woman’s right to choose.

Don’t be like them.
I don’t have beef with you @mxw616 but you attributed a thought to me I didn’t have or express, while mischaracterizing a word Black people use to signal that something important to our very existence needs to be paid attention to.

I won’t educate you further because I’m tired.
And every Black person — especially Black women are tired.

There are books you can buy or get at a library that will explain all these issues if you still don’t get it.

But this has been discussed ad nauseam.

You still don’t get it because you don’t have to.

Must be nice.

I said I thought it was an overcorrection, which I can speak on as a Black person because we, alone, get to decide how we feel personally about something that could be racist or offensive.

I did NOT say anything about “being woke” being an issue or a problem EVER.
What y’all NOT gon’ do is infer that I believe — or EVER said — that being cognizant of the hate and racism and micro-aggressions in this white-supremacy-fueled nation is a bad thing.

An #OverCorrection means folks CARED about not being hateful

#BeingWOKE is the GOAL.
#BeingWoke & the use of the word #Woke was OUR thing. WE told each other to #StayWoke. It was OUR way of encouraging & reminding each other that better can come if we stay vigilant & focused on moving forward despite the hate.

Those against that movement made it a pejorative.

No to rape. Yes to sexual abuse. Was she harmed? Yes. Was his statement defamatory? Yes. Did @ejeancarroll prove Trump lied? Yes. Was there malice from Trump? Yes. Did she prove he harmed her? Yes.

She’s getting MILLIONS… they’re still listing charges and damages…
She’s been awarded FIVE MILLION dollars.
Thank you @ejeancarroll for fighting this good fight. You’ve suffered greatly and he will finally have to pay up for his crimes.
