They’re so busy being outraged at the “Democratic Establishment” that they’ve lost the plot on what it is they’re outraged about.

It’s not goodbye, it’s see you later, sis.✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

Dr. Denise Oliver Velez has joined the ancestors. Re-upping this thread. Had the privilege of doing a webinar with this Queen. May she rest in peace, power and paradise. Keep the faith.

Stop acting powerless & claim your power. You do have this. You do have agency. You do have an ability to impact the world. You only neglect your obligation to the human collective to do so. When you realize it's incumbent on each one who can act to act, a duty for our salvation, ways to move open.

Just a reminder to all the young women out there who don’t realize how long it took. Title IX didn’t come into effect until 1972. Marital rape wasn’t a CRIME nationwide until 1993.

“New atheists” like Hitchens, Harris, and Dawkins, are actually in complete agreement with Trump-supporting evangelical Protestants on the most important point, which is the belief that the more bare-faced literal reading of scriptural texts is the only possible one.

I personally believe the main reason that we haven't had a modern dinosaur film that's better than Jurassic Park is because JP is all about how we see dinosaurs. I can think of few blockbusters that are as focused on reinventing how the audience perceives a subject.

the reveal - the absolute and total fumbling awe of Grant and Sattler as they see dinosaurs for the first time, just as John Williams’ greatest score kicks into full gear - is one of the best scenes in all of cinema

Not a woman, especially one not white, ESPECIALLY Black. Not a non-white man. Not a Jewish candidate. White men are the only ones who can be objectively unqualified with an airport's worth of unclaimed baggage. Never surprised at their entitlement. Always 🙄 those who fall for it.

Instead of yelling at people my parents age in Congress, why don't 🧔🏻‍♂️🧔🏼lefist bros take that smoke to their parents who keep voting for Republicans. (Or are they scared because the last time they tried, those said they'd cut them off, write them out of the will and take the AMEX Black?)

It’s funny how all of the people leading the charge against “The Establishment” grew up privileged and profited from “The Establishment.” When you see one of these Bros or Broettes screaming about the establishment, check and see what private school they went do and who their grandparents are.

Toys R Us.. More like.. Vetting Ain’t Us

It's not controversial to say that the Clyburn of 1969 is not the same as the Clyburn of 1992 and is not the same as the Clyburn of 2020. We all change over time and when your power increases you change even more.

And while they may be a small of their state's populace, the Black and POC voters of Maine deserve better representation than this and shouldn't have had to be put in this position

The revisionist History happening about GP on 🧵's right now (even down to the "He spoke the language of desperate people who wanted to be heard" that M A G A defenders used in 2016 just solidifies the 🧔🏼🧔🏻‍♂️ leftists aren't ever beating the "Sundown towns w/ Medicare Allegations"

Can his supporters just say "LOOK HE REMINDED ME OF MY FRIEND/FAMILY THAT'S A LITTLE RACIST BUT THEY'RE NOT EVIL! So I'm the bad guy for thinking a person can change?" No, but their restorative practices should be in therapy and the people they harmed. Not on Capitol Hill making life/death decisions

This man's behaviour has already been discussed at length and is a big reason why the people wringing their hands and going "what if his campaign screwed him over :<" was so egregious. They found a likeminded man. They found someone *like them*

Okay so not only was Platner barely vetted, but the guy who was in charge of the vetting is also a sex pest cool cool cool

So some shitty, gamergate type dudes are trying to take over Democratic Party politics enabled by clowns like Bernie Sanders.

When workers organize, they win. Unions helped secure higher wages, safer workplaces, better benefits, and a stronger middle class. Democrats have worked to turn those hard-fought victories into lasting protections. And we're not done fighting for workers' rights.

Christopher Bouzy of Spoutible weighs in on the Graham Platner shitshow.

I have had issues with Bouzy, but this article is spot on. 10/10 No notes. Especially this bit: (Sorry for the lack of alt text, if you go to the article it's the bit about Dems obsessed with courting white guys)

If you’re not a Democrat (DSA,Independent,etc)… and you run as a Democrat.. don’t talk about “small donors” and “no Superpacs”. Because you are using the DNC as a Superpac. And you are counting on the national donors to carry you through the general. C’mon man.

Who you vote for on your state and local matters. Otherwise, this bill wouldn't even come to fruition. Looking forward to hearing that it finally passes through the PA Senate and signed into law

You should have listened to women. You should have listened to Black women.

This right here. The "progressives" actually want the same thing MAGA wants. That is not change or revolution. It's Trump trying to turn back the clock.

White folks: Ruining everything for everyone, including themselves, because they'll be goddamned if Black and Brown folks get it too.

He’s not even in office anymore and he’s still more presidential than the man who is.

Please spread the word about Sis @deniseoliver-velez.bsky.social. speedy recovery.🫂🙏🏿

We aren't going to let y'all turn this around like you did with Fetterman. We know who was backing Platner. We aren't going to let you forget it.

Hey guys, conversations about the safety of Children of Color in spaces where they are the ONLY child of Color are (unfortunately) a reality. But the comments section of a grieving mother who just found the body of her son is NOT where it needs to happen. Who in the HELL RAISED Y'ALL

Hope this helps

Anti-Theism and Evangelical Fundamental Christianity are the 2 cousins you never invite to family functions because they'll get drunk and argue over something they're both wrong about and then get into a fist fight breaking grandma's china cabinet and BOTH dismiss the spectrum of human spirituality

I know OP is being facetious here, but a lot of folks did not take the warnings from Democrats seriously enough, and the MSM was NO help whatsoever. This was ALL predicted AND avoidable. It's also why folks need to get Republicans out of EVERY level of government in EVERY state. Vote them OUT!

It’s what the majority of Americans wanted 🤷🏽‍♀️

And again, I don't think the lady with the laugh would interfere with international sporting competitions (according to reports) as an attempt to save face for a July 4th 💩 show washout and starting a inescapable pointless war.

And AGAIN, you just didn't want to vote for the email lady or the lady with the laugh.

Trump celebrating Balogun’s eligibility to play for Team USA when his administration would strip Balogun’s citizenship tomorrow if he didn’t play world class soccer is really a chef’s kiss.

Being a woman rocks because if you use AI you’re stupid and if you don’t use AI you’re dumb

We just know Trump is sitting there all smug acting like it was because of him. His admin just argued that Balogun wouldn't be an Amefocam citizen, but he'll surely celebrate his success on behalf of America because "he's one of the good ones"

Molly hits the crux of it here, as she usually does. It’s not so much about the fascist imperative to automatically banish anyone born outside the US. It’s about them having the power to do it or not. Holding that sword of Damocles is just another way they can flout their BS.

I’m not giving Trump any credit for the Balogun thing, FIFA just does this stuff on its own

Proud to be an American. True patriotism is defending the Constitution, protecting our democracy, and striving for liberty and justice for all. Our country has never been perfect, but its promise is worth protecting. Happy 4th of July. ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸

I think it’s actually really important not to give in to despair and assume things can never get better, because then you stop trying to make them better and the only way they don’t is if people stop trying

Uh, why didn't that guy tell that Blonde and her husband they couldn't get married at his neighborhood Clubhouse because it's a holiday weekend and it was bad timing?
