I don't care what new branding their cult got. Nationalism can't save Black folks because this nation is damned. We have our Black American culture, but we're not the enemies of Black folks anywhere else in the Diaspora, it's crucial for us to all unite to throw off our chains under white supremacy.

Here's what I mean when I say that people switch races all the time and not in a Rachel Dolezal way. Alex Pereira grew up rough in Brazil. He always thought he was Black and Portuguese, because his parents hid that they were indigenous, to avoid prejudice. When he found out, he embraced his roots.

Good. Talarico and his angry cartoon avatar followers, should go away. And the Hispanic MAGA voters that are Pro-ICE and anti-migrant farm workers? Who are making bad faith arguments against her? Can stay on that side. Again, Texas has more registered Democrats than GOP. Motivate the base.

🤡I can't believe that Purdue would do this to Chinese students! Who could have seen this coming? And predicted it in 2016? Because racist dudes wrote about it as early as 2013? And they wrote that it has nothing to do with state secrets, and everything to do with Chinese students not being white?

The Colbert Talarico conversation is so silly. This is why Dems lose. Yes, CBS didn't want to have Talarico on, and white people assume this is because Trump didn't want to be made fun of on TV. CBS claims it is because they need to provide equal time, and so need to invite Jasmine Crockett.

RIP Dr. Linda Davis. She was killed when ICE caused a high speed chase that resulted in the crash that ended her life. This is one difference between police tactics and ICE tactics: cops looked at the data, and determined that high speed chases are just not worth it for non-violent offenses.
