Hillary Clinton was explicitly warned by several of her supporters about trouble with Black voters in the very parts of the country she ultimately lost. It was not just James Comey — she was not that good at running for president.

this is on the watch of a democratic mayor, governor, and president. And they expect to convince voters that we need to reelect them in order to stave off authoritarianism? ...How?

Love me the way Kendrick can’t stand Drake.
Cultural critic Michael Arceneaux is out with a new collection of essays, "I Finally Bought Some Jordans," reflecting on his journey overcoming societal barriers — from debt to heteronormativity. @youngsinick speaks about it all with @MichelMcQMartin. youtu.be/wo92t8fnyEw
Today makes six months since my mom died. May as well have been yesterday. It still hurts the same and I miss her so much.
Last day. Run it up.

my mother was a professor in ‘75 & got arrested for defending her students. Many of her colleagues distanced themselves & a black lawmaker tried to get her fired. She’s the one who taught me that some of the people that hate kids the most end up in academia. Power to the people.
paying an online fee for paying my rent is pushing me to my limits.
The way some people (& the white house & cable news) are talking about the protests reminds me so much of how MAGA types discussed "critical race theory" and how bad and scary it was. Just zero regard for the facts + fake hand-wringing about concern for the kids. Very Trumpy.

@youngsinick One only has to look around at the abortion bans, book bans, assault on LGBTQ+ rights and tax cuts that the right puts forth to see that they actually do a lot to make their constituents “love” them. It’s the supposed left (Biden is not really on the left) who offer so little.
"Got more fans in your city"😭😭😭 Kendrick Lamar mentioned this Restaurant which is located in Toronto on his song "euphoria" now the owner says he's getting rave reviews and customers are coming in a lot since the diss dropped.
THIS! Me and the wife literally talk about it all the time & this morning. Doesn’t matter until it’s at “Your Own” front door. When it’s happening to others nobody’s cares and that’s for every topic from A to Z…. Including who you vote for and how it affects you.
Many of these rights people claim to be so worried about have already been largely stripped so what many of you actually mean is you’re now worried about your own sense of security and well being.
The Mayor, NYPD and much of the corporate media are desperately trying to manufacture reasons that this isn’t exactly what it looks like: young people protesting an immoral war.
Most white American “conservatives” do not actually believe in limited government as a principle, they just believe in limiting government support for Black and brown people. This is why they also believe in EXPANDING government when it comes to police, prisons and surveillance…
as racial diversity increases, the likelihood the public will respond to increasing inequality by supporting bigger government declines cambridge.org/core/journals/…
When Black artists land at the (accurate) realization that much of the musical taxonomy is historically racially coded, I am curious why the conclusion is as superficial as wanting to break free from the label as opposed to finding depth and dimension in a Black tradition.
“The only reason I’m defined as an R&B artist is because I’m Black. It’s almost a little reductive because it doesn’t allow space to be anything else or try anything else.” — SZA
all the non-blacks chiming in to defend drake are proving kendrick’s point and it is hilarious that they don’t get that.
