How can any Democrat deny that with a straight face? Every time I've seen Kamala Harris on-screen, going back to before she ran, she's radiated extreme competence. So I honestly can't think of a reason for the "hesitancy" about her other than unacknowledged racism and sexism. And I'm a white AMAB person. If I can see that, no one else has an excuse for not seeing it.
Not to mention it's downright embarrassing this country has had 248 years of history and still has never elected a woman even when the alternative was a blatantly evil worshipper of destruction.
Honestly. If I were ever to met Kamala Harris in person, I feel like giving her a hug and saying she's still my President anyway.

In collaboration with Black Voters Matter, we made this list of our 7️⃣ favorite books by Black authors being banned in schools and libraries across the country. Many of these helped to broaden America’s view of Black people, art, and culture.
Have you read any of these yet, and are any on your Reading List this year? Comment below with your favorites! 📚

So that's why he chose X. I thought it was just to imitate Malcom X. Wait is that where Malcom X got the idea for changing his name to X from? The Xhosa language?
If there’s one thing you should know about famous antiracist Ibram X Kendi, it’s that it’s not Ecks Kendi, it’s [click] Kendi, because it’s from isiXhosa language. You see, he decided that being named ‘Henry Rogers’ wasn’t Black enough for him, so he took his wife’s last name (of Kenyan origin) and took a Xhosa middle name.
In case you don’t know, the Xhosa inhabited the territory of contemporary South Africa. So, about 4700km from Kenya. It makes about as much sense as a WASP guy taking the name Håkan Fernández to celebrate his proud European heritage.

*eats popcorn while reading the recent post*
Love how once they have no arguments left go back to insulting and name-calling instead of wanting to talk.
Shows they either don't know how to respond or know they're in the wrong and go back to name calling to save their face.
Honestly I welcome the changes in the US and I hope other countries follow suit. This insanity has to stop. This pandering to a small but obnoxiously vocal minority has to stop.
The US elections this year made Amish people go out and vote. From what I've heard they don't give a fuck about elections usually but they are so pissed off by the left they used their voices and went voting.
Everyone is fed up and tired of this leftist bullshit and being dismissed as everything in the book if you disagree. Everyone is fed up with the indoctrination that is happening everywhere. Everyone is just fed up with being pushed around by crybabies who complain about everything in the world but can't understand that its all their fault if their life sucks.
Yet I can only feel pity for people who are nothing but a product of parroting leftist propaganda all day and night alienating everyone who cared about them. Leaving only others who are parroting the same bs in a giant echo chamber that distorts their worldview and destroys their minds...
Hope one day they wake up and see what they did.
The Amish people want to be left alone to live how they want to live. They got caught under the ever widening umbrella of government regulation and the surveillance state. That's why they came out and voted. It was over the raw milk issue.
There's an increasing demand for milk right out of the cow because store bought milk is full of additives. The government doesn't want the people to have that option, even though our food supply is being poisoned with chemicals that are illegal in most other countries. Another Trump promise is to get flouride out of the drinking water and lab produced oils and sweeteners out of the food supply.
The Amish people voting goes to show how leftist harpies have to infiltrate every society forcing their world views down everybody's throats. They can't leave people alone to live their lives how they want. This is why we fought for independence back in the 1700's. People wanted to govern their own way and not have some distant government across the sea ruling them. This popular image expresses that sentiment:
We won a local victory. The colleges churn out brainwashed teachers who will move into conservative towns with the intent to push their Fail Ideology. In our high school for a while, we had this nasty feminist bitch principal surrounded by a cabal of nasty feminist bitch teachers. They forced the kids to read that Ibram X Kendi book Stamped, which was an anti-white racism guilt trip. That (whacko Twitter personality) guy was later found out to be a C-student borderline retard con artist only accepted to a mediocre college because of DEI.
Those women would target boys for disciplinary action while girls got away with murder. One boy got kicked out of sports for a year because of a social media post on a locked account. He made light of the George Floyd incident by posting a photo of himself with his foot on another guy's head. There are countless examples of that, -parents complained like crazy- and eventually the school refused to renew her contract forcing her out.
-So this election, she ran for the school board. Another person ran for the position on a platform of running against her and her left-wing antics. She lost after a bitter fight where her clique of feminists would go around town taking down the opposition's political signs. Damn right teenage boys should be able to make jokes on social media without having their lives ruined! Cancel culture won't age well. People like George Floyd are trash who died like trash. We don't owe them anything.

It's not so long ago that compulsive liars and race-grifters like Kendi could get away with being fact-checked somewhere down in the depths of the replies where few people would see, and it would rely on people retweeting to surface the refutation upwards. He could propagate whatever manufactured victimhood narrative he wanted, and he could get away with it for the most part.
Community Notes has changed everything.
It's interesting that subjective reality - "my truth" - and "equity" - unequal treatment to create desired outcomes - have become so entrenched that something like, "apply the rules on cheating consistently," is being called a "weapon."
Claudine Gay is entirely responsible for her own downfall.

“One of the things that has always afflicted the American reality and the American vision is this aversion to history. History is not something you read about in a book; history is not even the past, it's the present, because everybody operates, whether or not we know it, out of assumptions which are produced only, and only by, our history.”
– James Baldwin
[h/t Ibram X. Kendi]

“Racist ideas make people of color think less of themselves, which makes them more vulnerable to racist ideas. Racist ideas make white people think more of themselves, which further attracts them to racist ideas” Ibram X Kendi

Tagged by: Fave of faves @bethanyactually--and usually I save every post I'm tagged in to (at least theoretically) do later, but since I actually have returned to watching and listening to things lately, I'm gonna do this one right now.
Last song: Like You Do by Josh Ramsay. And Christian Kane's cover of Fast Car, both of which were recced to me by Leander, who knew I should hear them. But also, while I haven't listened to any of it since Tuesday, I woke up with the Daisy Jones and The Six soundtrack playing in my head...just like it has been ever since I originally started watching the series. Today it's mostly been The River featuring Simone, Regret Me, and More Fun To Miss. I know enough of the lyrics now for the soundtrack to be my constant mental radio as I go about my day.
Currently watching: Nancy Drew S2 (I'm 4 episodes in and enjoying it a lot), Schmigadoon S2 (I've seen half of it and it's still fantastic and I'm bummed I only have 3 episodes to go) and today I'm about to start my Good Omens rewatch so I can head into the new season full of S1 feels. Because my best friend is literally the best, I'm also partly through a DJATS rewatch with Leander seeing it for the first time--making that my favorite thing I am watching right now.
Currently reading: Nightwork by Nora Roberts (I'm about halfway through it and have been borrowing it from @actuallylukedanes forever and I feel very bad about that! I will finish it! I'm also partly through How to Raise an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi, also on loan from Leander. And before that, I was (and remain) partway through literally 20 other ebooks of all kinds--most recently Zero Fail: The Rise and Fall of the Secret Service by Carol Leonnig. There's a ton of great nonfiction that I already have on my tablet and know I'll enjoy cuz I'm that kind of geek...I just rarely read anymore because reading time is time I'm not spending with my millions of other hobbies.
Current obsession: As referenced above, Daisy Jones and The Six, which I am so so happy Leander is watching with me--both helping me get it out of my system a little and letting me indulge even more in my love of it. After we watched it on Wednesday, I was able to listen to something that wasn't the soundtrack for the first time, so I just may be able to dial this obsession down to manageable levels at some point. But GUYS IT'S SO GOOD. I want to gif it as soon as I get back to Photoshop and I kind of want to read the book, when I didn't before. I just want to burrow into the world and live there, and I haven't felt that way in quite a while, about anything. (It's made it harder to engage with other things, which is why I originally was going to add Ted Lasso's completed final season to my week along with Nancy Drew and Schmigadoon, but ended up not doing so because my head and heart are full of DJATS right now. But I missed this feeling, too, so I'm happy to be in love again.)
No-pressure tagging: @actuallylukedanes, @jicklet, @jakeperalta, @beturass, @hondagirll, @mythologicalmango, @dollsome-does-tumblr, @anextrapart, @sentichefuoripiove, @robbiedaymonds and anybody else who wants to do this.

Roger Ross Williams Eloquently Reveals We Are Stamped From The Beginning
What is wrong with Black People. Absolutely nothing. @netflix #stampedfromthebeginning #afifest
In 1860, Mississippi Senate Davis on the floor of the United States Senate opposed a bill funding education for Black people. To justify this, Davis crafted a made up fairytale he claimed came from the Bible around when Cain was exiled from the Garden of Eden. Apparently, Cain comes across the land of Naan and according to Senator Davis, this land was inhabited by animals and beasts that were…
