#Repost @elleusa ... “I would be an excellent running mate," @staceyabrams told ELLE, when asked if she would accept an offer from @joebiden. "I have the capacity to attract voters by motivating typically ignored communities. I have a strong history of executive and management experience in the private, public, and nonprofit sectors. I’ve spent 25 years in independent study of foreign policy. I am ready to help advance an agenda of restoring America’s place in the world. If I am selected, I am prepared and excited to serve.” The rising democratic star talks to @mhpshow about voting rights, COVID-19, and being Vice President. Link in bio.

Full Disclosure: As I writing this post I did a quick fact check and the more accurate number is 53% of white women voted 45 into office. I stand corrected. . I have been thinking about this statistic a long time. Especially when I keep hearing “This is not the America I know. This is not who we are.” . Voting records begs to differ. . By Julie Kohler "To understand the “white woman story,” we must first acknowledge that white supremacy remains the prevailing force in electoral politics—that, as @mhpshow - Melissa Harris-Perry noted, “there is a race [voting] gap of enormous proportions and a gender gap of very slim margins in this country…. gender politics is a secondary game, not the main show.” Data consistently support this statement; the race gap between black and white voters in modern elections runs 40–50+ points, whereas the gender gap runs about 10. That said, white women are not a monolithic voting bloc, and their voting behavior is highly related to the interplay of several factors: heterosexual marriage, education, and religion. There was a 20-point gap in support for Hillary Clinton between college-educated (56 percent) and non-college-educated (36 percent) white women in 2016.” . #theother47percent #53percent #neverforget #whitewomen #familyseparation #immigration #blacklivesmatter #womensrights #wefight #weresist #wewillwin #outfittingtherevolution #deconstructtheconstruct #itslifeordeathforus #intersectionality #civilrights #humanrights #equality #equalityforall no #racism #classism #xenophobia #alliesandchampions #notagame #resistance (at Brooklyn, New York)

Melissa Harris-Perry Is Out at MSNBC, Network Confirms

// so shocked, upset, & frustrated over this news. i know it's naive, but i wanted to believe that MHP show was one triumph -- one extraordinary, good thing happening in an otherwise super white & bleak af news media landscape. this show was legendary. besides bringing diverse voices to the table and facilitating conversations no one else was having that are SORELY needed, MHP made them some of the most intelligent, educational, nuanced and yet accessible conversations about social issues in this country that i've ever witnessed. she hosted this show like a professor in a classroom breaking down the issues and moving the conversation fwd with everyone in the room in a way that gave me hope, motivation, information, inspiration, and new ways of seeing & thinking about this country. i can't count how many times segments on her show brought me to tears. it was just history being made brilliantly every week; ‪#‎Nerdland‬ wasn't just a brand -- it was a movement. and, the quality of the show aside, it seemed to me that the network had its back and viewed it as a success (this show trends literally every weekend!). so when i read that the people upstairs couldn't even be bothered to return her e-mails... that's some bullshit. that's unbelievable and yet so sadly typical. all of this against the backdrop of a downright frightening presidential race. i guess it goes to show that there is no being complacent ever; money rules brutally & absolutely, and there are way too many forces in (backwards) motion to not stay aware & active on some level. farewell, #Nerdland. heart emoticon

Melissa Harris-Perry’s 'Footsoldier' is Crystal Valentine, a 20-year-old Bronx native who wants to use her poetry to get New York City youth involved in politics.

Melissa Harris-Perry talking about the Hyde park list. I love this woman. Calling out universities across the country that make the victim the defendant, instead of going after the rapist.
