lol people who are mad the New York Times reported on Black women exiting the workforce. "Why are we talking about Black women? Why not Black men? Why not all women?" Because numbers don't lie and ENTIRE communities rest on BLACK WOMEN. #blacksky #econsky 1/

For fuck’s sake the Republicans have positioned themselves as the party of bosses and layoffs, two things everyone knows and hates. Be the anti-boss party. You want to be relatable to everyday voters? When they say “socialist” you say “they’re running to fire you. I’m running to fire your boss.”

I mean, Big Ballz getting jumped by Romanians over a crypto scam being the pretext for the National Guard occupying DC lines up pretty well with the theory in Rise And Fall Of The Third Reich that the Nazis heard a random Dutch arsonist was gonna burn the Reichstag and just waited for him to do it.
