White people really don't understand that if they are not actively unlearning and pushing to be anti racist EVERY SINGLE DAY they aren't doing enough. Voting for Kamala is the LEAST white people can do to combat the systems. But they won't.

When I say "Listen to Black people" It's not just "Listen and learn about the painful legacy of chattel slavery and Jim Crow" (although it's also that) It's very much this. If you are paying attention to what Black voters are saying, you will never "fall for a candidate's BS" again, I promise you.

I suspect its very similar to the "accidental tattoo" issue. They don't see racism as a deal breaker or a character flaw so they can write it off in their friends.

It’s never been good when they say, look, I’m not a racist I just think all the other voters are. All the worst people really want Talarico to win. Seems important to notice.

*Poll comes out. Jasmine Crockett leads James Talarico 56% to 44%* White Progressive: I like Jasmine Crockett but I voted for James Talarico because I think he can win!

You cannot coddle whites out of whiteness. There is not enough cheese in the world to trick them into taking that pill. Have enough respect and empathy to treat them like adults and challenge their harmful worldviews directly. It's the choices, not the person. Anybody can choose anti-racism.

If you are serious about pulling people out of the nihilistic death cult that is whiteness, understand that they are just like you. They are people with full agency and rich, complex inner worlds. They have been making dangerous and harmful choices to date. But they can make better ones.

This is where I have to disagree a little bit because the identity that’s being attacked is their own self-perception. They’ve invested in the idea of meritocracy, even if they don’t know it, and your success challenges their notions of deserving.

You people have not won a Senate race in three decades. Maybe your assumptions about the party base and what constitutes a winning campaign are deeply, deeply flawed.

Why are you ignoring the polling data that shows her in front of Talarico and Paxton. Why do you assume, absent data to back it up, that Crockett can only win in "cities." Cuz I know what it usually means when you people start throwing around references to the urban core, I'm curious if you do.

Your pragmatism smells a lot like racism, Susan.

It bugs me when people complain that voting blue no matter what doesn’t work. People are not voting blue no matter what. How do we know it won’t work? We haven’t even tried it!

They are operating within the parameters of the congressional minority we gave them, Steven. Also, and I hate to be this guy, but... "milquetoast."

On this day in 1972, the first episode of Ka Leo Hawai'i airs. Recognizing the need to preserve ʻōlelo Hawai'i, Larry "Kauanoe" Lindsey Kimura started an all Hawaiian language radio program on KCCN. anticolonialhistory.com/event/214/

right wing pastors are screaming, crying, throwing up because John Piper posted a Bible verse on the everything app.

This tells me that too many people are still watching this worthless crap. Turn of CBS News, and yes, that includes 60 Minutes. There is nothing of value there anymore. Do not waste your time.

I stopped listening to her podcast a while ago because something about them rubbed me wrong. Like it was cute at first. Very Rah Rah Sis Boom Bah. But then she started to sound like someone that would have earned a shit pie in the 50s and 60s.

I've had a weird feeling about IHIP for a second and I'm glad to get the confirmation.

There are also far too many people, fine moral beings all, who heard those bullhorns and pretended it was something else. The only people winning in this country are white nationalists and pedophiles and their billionaire donors. It's a golden age for monsters.

Exhibit entry 2429 of how much so many took for granted and how little people paid attention to the campaign rhetoric of Republicans in 2024.

Dave Bautista was right there and actually Greek to boot. This guy looks like he's gonna call Atreus "buddy."

Weird, how am I supposed to earn her vote if she blocks me? It's almost like her mind is already made up.

It'd be really cool if there could be some kind of journalism collective being formed by all the badass independent journalists being side-lined right now where we could pay one fee a month to get updates, like a newspaper.

Democrats have passed every policy that has improved the lives of Americans for the last 40+ years. The economy is always better in their hands. All the Republicans know is destruction and grift, but because they throw a three ring circus wherever they go, folks vote against their own interests? No.

BREAKING: We're suing Kansas for a law that invalidates transgender people's updated driver's licenses and authorizes anyone to sue anyone they suspect of being trans for using the "wrong" bathroom.

Joe Biden was the most openly and affirmatively pro-trans candidate in American history and if that wasn't enough for us to show up for his VP four years later, nothing is. Because no matter what, we always choose whiteness first.

Biden literally campaigned on it. It was one of his First 100 Days priorities. It passed the House. It failed because we did not have the numbers in the Senate. We were invited into the coalition and we said "Mm, no thanks. More violent white supremacy for me, instead."

I feel like younger people don't realize that the internet wasn't always optimized solely to make you as angry and miserable as possible, and people are having a lot of nostalgia for 2000s internet vibes now because it wasn't like that back then

It is not hyperbole to say that the difference between the Equality Act passing or not came down to enough whites being willing, or not, to vote blue no matter who.

And it's hardly just spitting in the eyes of gay and lesbian organizers, the national LGBT rights movement was built on the lives and labor of trans people. Those are the ancestors you're disrespecting and the legacy you're squandering. Shameful.

Absolutely they are" I've said it time and again"MAGA, DSA, white racist regressive are all working together to destroy the Democratic Party just to keep them in power. I'm NEVER trusted them"

If the shoe fits .. The DSA is MAGA No one will ever convince me otherwise .. The DSA is a foreign op sponsored by the same guys funding Trump..

Glad you’re giving me the opportunity to school your dumb ass. Stop licking the white boot, they’ll never let you wear it. 😒

What has a candidate DONE that makes them “progressive?” Don’t tell me what they’ve said. What they’ve said doesn’t mean anything. What actions can you point to that tell me that person has accomplished something to move any damn thing forward?

I’m tired of “progresssive” now just being a euphemism for “is running AGAINST the Democratic Party and their brand WHILE utilizing their resources.”

Mm. He look like this sentence.

There's nothing "uncertain" about it. Larry Ellison is building an autocrat-friendly propaganda machine and whatever shaky journalism originated from this place will soon be dead.

Even before the caller was referred to by name as Audrey (as per the transcript in the comments) my first thought from the thumbnail alone was "guy?" Don't be shitty.

I’ll never regret my honesty regardless of the consequences
