white people find how society treats people confusing until they see it for themselves. “Well, none of us have control over the way we’re perceived” is true—but it misses that society actively uses control *over* Black people to deliberately show them they don’t have any control. No matter what.
That’s an important difference. And opportunists and true believing racists alike use that racist power to feel like they have more control over their own lives. Even when they shouldn’t. That is not a gamble that should EVER pay off.
This thread expresses exactly what I’ve been screaming about at all day but much more eloquently with cvs receipts!
A landslide in the middle of a war & famine that was declared last year & has since spread across Sudan. About 25 million people need urgent food aid, according to the UN, while at least 14 million have been forced from their homes. Where is the int’l attention? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/w...
Anything to say about this, @jaketapper.bsky.social? Or not?

@talk2trav.bsky.social - 🎥⌨️ "They continue to say the quiet party out loud. An overt declaration that some refuse to acknowledge. This is just the beginning."
That orange mofo is using the US Military to terrorize minority communities and regressives are still talking about a Dem messaging problem. Ummmm…shut all thee way the fuck up with that nonsense. Annnnd fuck y’all “fighting the facscists” too. ALL OF THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED November 2024🤷🏾♀️
Every leftist and progressive that vote suppressed the Democratic Party, voted 3rd party, “uncommitted” “stayed home” or left the ballot blank was cool with this. Don’t let them lecture you about “voting blue no matter who”
We haven't seen this kind of hijacking since 9/11. The people on AA11, UA175, AA77, and UA93 did not deserve it. Neither do we. It has to stop now. Every American has a right to live that no hateful, stupid, self-absorbed, mediocre, and ultimately disposable ideology can take from us.
Trump threatening members of Congress not to sign the Epstein files discharge petition saying it would be a “hostile act” against him is definitely something an innocent person would do. And scheduling a military flyover in the middle of the survivor press conference is also totally normal behavior.
This is what any innocent man would do, right?
The shamelessness of these people. She should be no where near the SC. She's a rw ideologue playing like she's following the "law".

The US is being ruined by complete fucking idiots.
Honestly? My first reaction was “and all of those adults voted for this.” They completely disregarded the purpose for these hotlines in the first place. And if they are so concerned about these hotlines, they need to ask themselves why their own kids can’t talk to them.
Yannoe, im bout to say sumn real controversial that might get me clipped but I think its terribly evil of these people to raise an entire generation of kids with very few coping skills and mechanisms just to vote away all the protections these kids have. Like thats EVIL AF

This op/ed is dangerously wrong. There are elections in Iran & Russia & they are meaningless. Republicans want the same for the US- gerrymandering to keep their party in power. One party no longer believes in democracy. That is the real problem. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/o...
This is not reporting. This is propaganda.
They're so high on their own supply they can't fathom someone would have the nerve to correct them or disagree with them.
Wow. Did you see this? Telling a Black woman she has a lot of work to do with respect for creating space for other people's suffering? He continually mad an ass of himself.
YOUR JOB IS TO TELL THE TRUTH AND YOU KNOW WHAT? IF YOU TELL THE TRUTH YOU WON'T BE ARGUING WITH PEOPLE FOR 946 HOURS STRAIGHT ON BLUESKY! TRY IT OUT! IT'S ABOUT TIME!

While we’re all entitled to our opinions, I do not agree with the opinion that Madonna is one of the top 5 best female singers of all time. That’s like saying Janet Jackson is one of the top 5 also. She is not. Great entertainers, yes!!
Let's get this judge's decision right. It's not saying the Trump administration just happened to violate the law. It's that they *knew* they were breaking the law but did it anyway. @notus.org: www.notus.org/courts/judge...
Epstein Survivors Press Conference Sept 3rd, 10:30 a.m. ET Tune in to support them.
I’m screaming 💀😭😂😂😂😂 Remember when MAGAts and regressives said the orange demon “was to the left of Biden and Harris” on war? Screeeeeeeeemeeeeeeean! 😂

It's pretty much the jist of the Atlantic article: LOOK AT HOW THE BLACK LADY FAILED! SHE IS A BIG FAT FAILURE! SHE REFUSED TO ANSWER FOR HER FAILURES! RFK JR MAY BE WACKY BUT HE'S DOING BETTER THAN SHE DID!
"We can't defend this white male lunatic so let's find a black woman and pretend she did the same thing." Fuckers.
This is, I swear to Christ, the lead story at the Atlantic Monthly right now
For many of the religious right, their "traditional values" appear to include pedophilia.

Yes, it was a terrible take to politely criticize a segement that was a mistake in my opinion. How careless of me. I should have rushed right over to check it over with you first, and then parroted the same lamebrained Schumer and Jeffries are bigger problems than Trump bullshit you seem to enjoy.
The guy who platformed Joe Walsh to attack Democrats on his show spent yesterday lecturing Democrats and attacking Black women. When we tell you MSNBC isn’t what you think it is, this is what we mean.
At least 10 gun industry businesses, including Glock, Smith & Wesson, Remington and Mossberg, secretly handed over names, addresses and other data to lobbyists, who used the details to rally firearm owners to elect pro-gun politicians. By @coreygjohnson.bsky.social (Published Oct. 2024)

Genuinely thought M*hdi saying Tl**b should run for President was a joke on here until I looked it up. There are more pressing elections. But no, under no circumstances should a clown who has refused to endorse the last 3 Democratic nominees be in that. Beyond her antisemitism & voting record.

OOoooof...the kiss of death for the Oysterman. Just ask Gillum and Kucinich

I wish people would stop blaming COVID mitigation policies for the acceleration of right wing extremism, and instead acknowledge the fact that we endured a mass casualty and mass disabling event that was mismanaged by narcissistic authoritarians who shifted the blame to marginalized communities
Creating a few posts to counter the "do nothing" narrative. This one is examples of Dems in the House using procedures to DELAY legislative activities. There hasn't been much of it due to FOTUS ruling by EO. Dems in the MINORITY party are doing what they can. Corrections/distribution welcome.
People are literally discounting the majority in power, to blame the minority for what they are doing, AND saying they aren't trying to fix it. Bizarre
This thread is what exactly what I am talking about. Its depressing. Lilith tried to explain and got rejected for the blame Democrats.
(In hindsight I should’ve said that my sibs attack me instead of taking daddy’a side. Although they are indeed enabling Daddy’s behavior by rewarding his efforts to harm us all.)
Daddy breaks a dish, mommy gets blamed for not cleaning it up quickly enough, and my sibs jump in to say if mommy was a little nicer daddy would not break dishes then gets mad at me and takes Daddy’s side when I remind them daddy broke the dish.
Am I the only one who sees how fucked up this is? It’s so fucking toxic, I feel like I’m in trapped a narcissistic family dynamic and all of my sibs are mad at mom, not dad (the abusive narcissist). And all they do is complain about how Mommy isn’t good enough to fix what Daddy broke.
I’m really tired of this little game where the GOP does something and people immediately blame the clean up crew for not cleaning up well enough to their standards instead of dressing down the dude who upended the trash can.
Guys, if Graham Platner is hanging with Bernie, I don't think he's capable of beating Susan Collins, as much as I want Susan Collins beat.

Democratic Socialists are absolute scumbags who didn’t support Harris, blamed Israel for 10/7 ON 10/7 and blame NATO for the invasion of Ukraine. They should not be allowed to run as Democrats by the Democratic Party. They’re why we lost. www.dsausa.org/statements/d...
Listen, @velshi.com, I don't hate you, or the work you're doing as a Journalist. A lot of times your shows have been very informative and I learned a lot. But to give "Schumer-Jeffries are the problem" any oxygen when we're facing actual Fascism from the White House isn't a good look.
Bury him at Mar-a-Lago and let the rising coastal sea levels do the rest. 😒
Yeah he's not beating the allegations
Many progressives get furious if a Dem says we need a platform that will win -- even if it does not give progressives all they want. They default into comparing you to rabid Republicans rather than realizing you are trying ensure rabid Republicans are not in power. They only hear their own voice.
Norma Rae won Sally Field the Oscar in 1979 for her portrayal of a woman who organizes a union in her workplace. It’s a terrific movie. Here’s the “what a union is” clip.

Kressly: I expect in the next couple of weeks, this is going to get worse. You’re going to hear from the same administrative people who have gutted the expertise needed to promote child health — pushing false narratives like, “we need to look at the link between vaccines and autism.” That is a lie.

Something press pool could ask about
Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.
I’m sorry, WHAT?
This. There were already lacking resources as it was and then y’all voted to reduce them even more… I don’t think you realize how much you screwed yourselves…😞
I’m sure Tapper’s on it😒
Black People Know #blacksky #ninetytwopercent #therevolution #nationalguard There is nothing new under the sun.
I like the rebrand.
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
I didn’t know it but now I need a baby donkey 😂💗
So the photos we get of the “golf outing” today is a pale and feeble looking one of him getting to a car at the WH and this one of him returning. Nothing from the course.
RADDATZ: One of the things they are trying to do in DC with the National Guard is have them back up local law enforcement WES MOORE: They are picking up trash
The President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa called the orange felon a Russian asset in a live televised speech. Well done, this is how you do it. 👏
My dream is for it to happen like it does to vampires. When the leader kicks the bucket, the rest of them burst into flames.
California stepping up.
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
We see how the left is treating Black politicians. They are just as bad as MAGA to Black people. Black people show up for Dems. We are the base. But their white supremacy has them insulting the base, even though it's Black politicians getting arrested, indicted, attacked & harassed to fight MAGA.
But this is going beyond fighting Democrats. They are spending a lot of time going after Black Democrats specifically. We see them.
I've been saying this for over a year! The democratic party is being sabotaged, by the right, the left, the progressives, the media, and then they go "oh low polling" and "messaging" they are the effing messaging killers.
💙Thank you! The imbalance in coverage has been going on far too long!
Enthusiasm grows when voters see a party fighting and winning. (And Democrats are doing both- fighting back on redistricting attacks and special election wins). Constant gloom, both sides coverage, and magnified Dem drama don’t inspire turnout — they smother it.
Down-ballot Democrats barely exist in MSNBC coverage. Meanwhile Fox elevates every random GOP backbencher into a national figure. That’s a huge imbalance.
Every Dem family fight gets magnified into “the party in disarray,” while GOP fractures are brushed aside. It divides us when we need to project strength.
MSNBC has made Trump the center of the universe, giving him endless oxygen while Democratic wins barely get a mention. That doesn’t build confidence, it feeds despair.
.@velshi.com “Head in the sand”? Please. Part of the problem is limp news coverage that turns every Dem wobble into a five-alarm fire while treating GOP extremism as background noise. That’s what depresses our base.
