If anything good comes from this unmitigated disaster & international fucking embarrassment (part II) I hope it’s that folk who never bothered to understand how American government works or why they should give a damn about the social safety net finally learn it from losing it. Every time I see an MSM clip of them sorrowfully (but unconvincingly) reporting these #TrumpLayoffs & agency closures/takeovers I roll my eyes damn near out of my head b/c WTF members of the press?! Stop pretending there was “no” way to predict this when Y’ALL fanned the flames.

I’m gonna preface this by saying it’s mostly anecdotal but the patients I’m seeing virtually in TX (mostly White, rural/suburban) have been so medically unwell for the last month, primarily upper respiratory and gastrointestinal. Lots of flu, a smattering of COVID and colitis… At first I was like well yeah it’s winter and cold/flu season plus vaccine refusal is off the charts, so folk aren’t keeping up with COVID boosters or annual flu shots etc., but now that it’s coupled with #InstabilityInChief shuttering public health services & communication... 🥴

🥴 Rinse and repeat. #InstabilityInChief Image Better yet, since we’re reliving the same pathology (and it’s been so long that the original links no longer work), I’m gonna repost all the #InstabilityInChief essays I wrote @dailykos for posterity’s sake…

Wake me when the folk who are feigning shock, awe and poutrage about Trump doing all the heinous shit he said he was gonna do direct their complaints to the MSM that propagandized them blind (b/c they wanted to be) and is still enabling/sugarcoating fascism/White supremacy. I mean this in all sincerity b/c I have yet to see a concerted, large scale effort to boycott or even regulate the legacy media outlets that paved the way for social media outlets to finish off the bamboozlement of the masses they started *centuries* ago. Where’s the revolution? Image

Let me address this now (again) b/c folk keep asking: NO I’M STILL NOT opening an account on any other social media platform. Y’all are asking this of a Black, native Texan woman whose entire family tree is Black native Texan. *I don’t flee for the Confederacy’s benefit.* Y’all can feel free to do what sits right in your spirit but I’m not scared of a damn tweet. I walk around IRL as a Black woman knowing full well that my gracefully unbothered existence in spaces racists don’t want me in is an act of civil disobedience, protest & radicalism.

⏳ 1 more blast from the past since folk still can’t do math or handle the truth. Ds are still contending with #WeakAssUnreliableAllies who “swing” in & out of the ⛺️ on a whim based on White/White adjacent grievance every 2-4 yrs and make maintaining a winning coalition impossible.

After years of xenophobic klan sentiment on the GOP campaign trail, the El Paso shooter drove ~10 hrs to gun down Hispanic Texans on White supremacy/nationalism’s behalf. The anti-Haitian rhetoric propagated by Trump/Vance/MAGA isn’t just a hateful lie, it’s stochastic terrorism.

Image Nobody gets to pretend the writing hasn’t been on the wall since Birtherism and Trump’s promise to build a wall but make Mexico pay for it. They tell us to “remember the Alamo” but expect us to forget El Paso, Buffalo, Pittsburgh (Tree of Life) and the Atlanta spa shootings.

If JD doesn’t know any professional women who are happily married moms, he should just say that. 🙄 I had my 1st son 6 weeks before my Masters graduation/3 months before residency. My 2nd son was born 2 weeks before residency graduation. I prioritize EVERYTHING altogether, MFer!
Image This reminds me of 1 of my fave scenes in 1 of my fave movies, ‘Baby Boom’, when J.C. (Diane) finally accepts motherhood/a career change and tells her male colleagues, “I don’t want it all.” We’ve learned how to juggle kids & work without being miserable. vice.com/en/article/did…

I recently saw a patient whom I’ve been seeing for almost 6 months and when I asked how he’s been doing since our last visit 6 weeks ago, among a laundry list of stressors, he said “there’s gonna be a civil war and I’m gonna end up dead.” 🥴🫣 It was telling b/c he’d never uttered that type of rhetoric with me before & the only thing that changed between visits was Biden passing the torch to Kamala. He mentioned it in passing then quickly moved onto something else but he said it like civil war was suddenly inevitable.

This ‘Kamala’ pronunciation/enunciation lesson and group project with @kerrywashington is the bees fucking knees!!! 🔥🐝🔥🐝🔥 #DNC2024 The synergy of the Women’s Suffrage and Mom’s Demand movement themes is stunning. It’s not just that heartbreaking and unjust conditions spurred political action in both instances, it’s that success for both movements requires *smashing the patriarchy into tiny shards of glass*.

Don’t buy the idea of “red” states perpetually never being in play, especially when said states have also been “blue” and/or purple in recent elections. Don’t buy the idea that time/resources are a “waste” when they’re spent on mobilizing apathetic and/or disenfranchised voters.
Image And especially don’t buy either of those ideas from someone who identifies as a “MAGA original/founder” who’s only anti-Trump now b/c he turned out to be the colossal fucking disaster and international embarrassment we told them he would be…

I don’t doubt that 4 years as VP honed many of Kamala’s skills but I also don’t doubt that the energy the MSM and casual observers are so shocked and awed to see at her 2024 rallies is the EXACT same energy she engendered from her supporters in 2020. Y’all are just late as fuck. And what chaps my hide about it most is the main justification given is “her 2020 campaign failed” when she actually ended her campaign in December 2019. Primary voting didn’t start until February. She left to wait in the wings for Biden’s win and VP pick. npr.org/2019/12/03/784…

It doesn’t happen extremely often but sometimes I cry with my patients. Today was one of those days. I’ve been seeing her since March and the last time I saw her was late June, she was still feeling anxious/depressed so we made med adjustments and scheduled follow up for today… She told me she’d had side effects to the med wean/initiation and stopped the new med a month ago to let her body reset. I asked if her depression/anxiety symptoms worsened with no antidepressant on board and she said actually her mood miraculously improved 2 weeks ago…

When the fuck has being a Black or Indian (read melanated) person ever been “convenient” in America? These are the ignorant and insecure musings of mediocre White men who have no substantive policy arguments or notable credentials to compete with Kamala’s. They feel “victimized by competition from the competent” so they pretend she has no right to compete with them.

Rebooting my ‘16 ‘How to Turn a Red State Blue in 90 Days’🧵since it’s evergreen.🌳 Swap out ‘Hillary’ for ‘Kamala’ and not much else has changed . As Obama said, there are NO “blue” or “red” states, WE have the power to color the map BLUE with our VOTES. wakelet.com/wake/b3ad8186-…Image Saving myself some work and just RTing this video b/c he shares not only my righteous indignation but the indisputable facts of the matter about voting in Texas. It isn’t that we don’t have enough registered D voters to win, it’s that they need to snap tf out of apathy and VOTE.

I see a lot of folk side-eyeing Obama for laying low so far in this moment & while I totally understand it, I also think there’s a very strong possibility that amidst their brother to brother deliberations he determined it’s best for Joe the 🐐 to captain the ship to the bridge. Like, just given the whole context of controversy & fervor for a contested convention rather than a “coronation”, plus the fact that it’d easily be viewed as the 1st Black POTUS exerting undue pressure to nominate a 2nd Black POTUS/1st woman POTUS. He’s still the no drama guy.

One thing about the narcissist psyche is it *can’t fucking stand* not being the center of attention. So much so that Trump’s exploitation of the shooting at his Klan rally is now the 2nd time he’s frantically spun controversy & chaos to reposition himself in the media spotlight. IOW, Trump’s so hungry for attention/ faint praise that he’s willing to take the risk of diverting 👀 away from 2-week wall to wall coverage of Biden’s age/political viability (that per conventional wisdom served Trump well) to sensationalize a mass shooting by a Republican perp.

The story of the Trump rally shooting isn’t the prospect of “sympathy votes” or MAGA’s perennial martyrdom of Trump, it’s that the gun violence visited upon America by the NRA/GOP has now been directly visited upon Trump/MAGA too. They’ve inevitably victimized their own selves. When you stoke domestic terrorism you don’t get to feign shock, awe and martyrdom when domestic terrorism eventually comes for you. The call is coming from inside the GOP’s house.

Maybe it’s b/c Kamala was my 1st choice in ‘20, but the “Biden isn’t being the bridge he said he’d be” gripe is so absurd. The millisecond he announced her as his choice for VP, I had ALL the confirmation I needed that Biden was a bridge to Kamala. Misogynoir kills brain cells.
Image The bridge is staring you in your face but you’re pretending it’s not there because it eventually leads to a Black woman being your POTUS one day. We see you. Image
