If you are so fragile that you feel compelled to block people who simply correct you when you call Rep. Jeffries the "Speaker of the House" instead of the Minority Leader, you should really not be opining about politics online. There is a huge difference in the 2 jobs and you should know that.

For telling a BW to “create space” as if they/she hasn’t done that more than any other demographic. The 92% voted to help everyone including Palestine. You don’t have standing, respectfully, to tell her to “create space” when that community voted against their interests while SHE voted for them.
