I love when Trump supporters of color find out that their imagined proximity to whiteness doesn’t protect them like they think it will. So here he is, sounding like he’s about to go an Eat, Pray, Love journey to find himself when he’s really about to find himself in prison.
Well, darlings… The curtain falls, the spotlight dims, and the rhinestones are packed. From the halls of Congress to the chaos of cable news what a ride it’s been! Was it messy? Always. Glamorous? Occasionally. Honest? I tried… most days. To my supporters: You made this wild…
They wait with bated breath for an opportunity to beat us and when we don’t give them a reason, they exhale and do it anyway.
Excuse me if I don’t join in the mourning or glorification of the man that joked about assaulting a Black woman.
After Black cops killed Tyre Nichols, a Black sheriff excusing the behavior of the white cop who assaulted Will McNeil shouldn’t be surprising. This is deeper than the belief that “not all skin folk are kinfolk.” It’s that even some Black cops will identify as blue first.
The irony of showing how inhumane YOU are by referring to another human as an animal is completely lost on bigots like @JoeyMannarinoUS
If Ilhan Omar ever bit me I’d get tested for rabies. And probably AIDS, honestly.
Accident update: I saw a specialist today and my foot is broken worse than the ER doctor thought. I’m having surgery next week to have screws and a plate put in. Has anyone had anything similar? Any advice?
When you stand on business by keep your business away from a confederate flag flying contractor…
To be clear - this is NOT a win. This is NOT justice. Breonna Taylor’s life was worth so much for than 33 months.
The memes will continue? Do you know what else will continue with Trump as President? The loss of rights and livelihood for millions of people - including the ignorant cultists who voted for him.
ATTENTION: TRUMP DIDN’T COME TO PLAY. Six months in. All gas. No brakes. The winning will continue. The deportations will continue. The memes will continue. THE GOLDEN AGE WILL CONTINUE! 🇺🇸🦅💰
Even though Will was calm and non-combative, people will still say this happened bc he didn’t comply. The truth is he got a concussion, a chipped tooth, and 9 stitches bc he is a BIack man and the cops decided he wasn’t worthy of a conversation or explanation.
The same man claiming he cares so much about indigenous heritage and wants to “make Indians great again.”
Advocating for the reinstatement of racist team names under the guise of honoring indigenous heritage is low, even for him.
Yet another slap on the wrist for crooked cops and a slap in the face for the Black community.
Having the officer who killed Amir Locke within 10 sec of entering his apt lead “use-of-force” training is proof that @MinneapolisPD is trash. What’s next? Hiring Derek Chauvin to record “chokehold” training videos from prison? They keep showing us our lives don’t matter to them.
Wait a min, let me go grab some 🍿because watching them turn on each other should be happening in theaters.
I’m always amused by MAGA supporters who follow me just to troll me. I almost feel bad for them because I know their momma’s basement must be a very lonely place.
