Nate Silver is a toxic bro & has long been one. He also reflects a pattern of men who started in data journalism or analysis & became all about vibes: him, Yglesias, Leonhardt, & others.
I can give a shit but their misogyny is glowing. They hate Black women and use white women as tools for that. Fuck them.

One of those clowns tried to fight Roland Martin last year. I can't stand them nor fuck with anyone who support them. Here's what's wild, they are so pro-Black, but they constantly shit on Black women and marry white women for comfort.

I think it was allegedly Tariq. Uncle Luke from 2 Live Crew spoke about last year before the campaign. And then I started thinking about both Ann Coulter and Bannon using the term "Foundational Black Americans" a while back and thinking it odd.
And there are whispers that they were started by Steve Bannon.
They’re clowns for sure. They disgust me because they’re such a liability to something so critically important. They’re an embarrassment tbh. The head of the organization that goes by ADOS is a woman. I can go on for days about my issues with them but I’m just going to create something better.
FBA/ADOS hates Black women.
I hate those groups. They will never receive support from me.
I definitely agree with those being 2 of the issues. I think there are a few more. The gun community is just one of the communities that right wingers have been able to establish. The finance sector (trading), the fitness sector, and the crypto sector are others. The big one to me is FBA/ADOS
Two things...First, many of them HATE Black women. They hate they can't subjugate Black women in the way white men can subjugate their women. Second, gun culture. I have seen Black gun organizations flip from being about Black defense to spewing right-wing talking points when they get sponsored.
22% of Black men voted for trump. If that number was down to what it was for Biden then Kamala would’ve won the election. There’s been an infinite number of post election discussions on voting but I almost never see real discourse on Sambo MAGA and what’s radicalizing them.

Tell that to Magic Grandpa.
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

It's exhausting. Because you attempt to tell people and their go-to is "they aren't fighting hard enough."

This thread is what exactly what I am talking about. Its depressing. Lilith tried to explain and got rejected for the blame Democrats.

The GOP did already end treatment based on women’s health. Roe vs. Wade? And we do blame them.
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.
This thread is gold I'm finding lots of peace by blocking people who do this on sight I simply won't look at the blue sky & listen to leftists tell me it's orange & black plaid MAGA fucked up Non Harris voters fucked up Stop blaming the ones who warned you not to fuck up for your mistakes

Heard a hell of a lot more about how he was “fighting” in May telling people to run as Independents than we ever did about Senator Alsobrooks doing a resolution of disapproval about RFK in May…w/ Wyden & Warren, aka the RM’s for Finance & Banking… I hope my nerves hold up for getting to her tour. 😂
8/8 So we are to believe that very people who will not confront their racist family members are going to fight for Democratic Socialist Principles? It's laughable to the point that many of us feel you are intentionally trying to sabotage progress.
7/? Do you think we don't see you when your co-worker or boss does some racist micro aggression and you say or do nothing? If we are lucky, you may give us a look that says "sorry" or have a nervous laugh. But you damn sure are not going to speak up.
6/? You leftists have all of these lofty ideas but no practical ways to implement these ideas. You all really don't want to do the work, but there is a direct line between what you claim you want and you confronting all of these white supremacists in your lives. This is the work you will not do.
5/? In 2020, even though Biden did not win the Iowa Caucus, we knew the minority of white people who could stomach to vote Dem would be significantly lower if Bernie was the nominee. Which goes back your white MAGA family, friends, neighbors and co-workers you won't confront.
4/? But when the Iowa Caucus happened, and white folks showed that they would vote for Obama, then the polls in South Carolina shifted and Obama won South Carolina. But it's not just that, we can feel the pulse of white America beyond just polls.
3/? And because for our survival, we have had to know white people better than they know themselves, Black people in the majority did not vote for Sanders. But it was not just limited to him. If you look at South Carolina poll before the Iowa Caucus, Hillary was way ahead of Obama.
2/? Black voters have to consider how far white people can be pushed before they completely turn off and go in a catastrophic direction that could literally kill us. This is where pragmatism comes in. This is why Black people knew that Bernie Sanders could never win a general election.
1/? It would be nice if leftist would realize Black ppl, in many respects, understand white ppl better than white ppl understand themselves. We have had to do this in order to survive for 400 yrs. When we reject your leftist musings, know it's b/c we know your MAGA family/friends better than you do
We don't hear about that. But we sure did hear about Harris book tour huh?
The money doesn’t flow the same when competence is elected. I’m still surprised he did an op-ed this week to call for RFK’s firing after Democrats kept saying it. He finally remembered he’s the RM for the HELP Committee since Senator Alsobrooks has basically been doing the job during his tours.
Reasonable point.
Yes, so much work to do in that area!
We can't be a team when people do things like this and is excused for it.
I honestly feel like he is doing this on purpose. Many of us political junkies or political scientists knew they were going to recruit her or were trying to. What's wild, this is a white woman getting tossed for a white man and nobody is pointing that out.
It’s not even close to subtle. The backup options like the AG & current state House Speaker haven’t decided last I saw, probably because they want to make sure she doesn’t before jumping in.
anyone interested in doing any kind of organizing around voter rights and voting in the Delta, or Mississippi in general, please message me my IG is in my bio. Please message me there until I have a VPN.
The Democrats were trying to recruit her and Bernie went and did this. I am not shocked that people aren't pointing this out and seeing it for what it is.
My ex was all in on amplifying the two white people who got jumped in Cincinnati at 3am, and said he was scared for our boys when they were out “walking while white”. I’ve lost count of the many times I’ve lost my shit over stuff he’s said, but I’ve not only wanted to put him in his place…
But also make sure our kids didn’t pick up that trait from him. I’m proud to say he’s become fearful to say anything in front of them because our daughter has given him the silent treatment more than once when he’s tried. She made it known it was either bigotry or her.
The DSA hates democratic reps who win/can win state wide elections bc their messiahs cannot.
Mehdi Hasan actually suggesting Rashida Tlaib could be a presidential contender is the funniest shit I've seen all day.
Not all workers get today off! While you enjoy your holiday, many agricultural workers are hard at work planting, harvesting, and packaging the food we eat every day. Today lest honor those workers and thank them for their amazing work. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay
The victim was identified as Keontae. He managed to escape and called his mom from a cornfield an hour away. Thankfully, he did not suffer serious physical injuries, but local leaders say the emotional scars are already heavy—mistrust, fear, and trauma. 4/4 www.wkow.com/news/top-sto...
Local news: If you watch it through, it sounds like the police are referring to this as a “fight.” This wasn’t a fight. It was a race-based attack. On August 16, 2025, a 14 YO Black teen from Platteville, Wisconsin, was attacked by white teens at a party in the town of Pulaski, Iowa County. 3/4
Video shows white teens punching him while yelling racial slurs like “F*** that n up” and “kill that n.”At one point, they shoved him against a meat grinder, then slammed him to the ground and kept beating him. This is not “kids being kids.” This is racial violence in 2025, in Wisconsin. 2/4
This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4
My first interaction with cops? Driving 30 in a 25 on my way to the pier in Fairhope, AL at around 6pm. Ended up face down on the asphalt bc he said he smelled marijuana. At that point I didnt even know what marijuana smelled like let alone smoke it. Got a speeding ticket. And yeah. Fuk the popo
It wasn't that long ago that we lived in a shared reality where the unemployment rate for black college grads doubling in six months would be seen as an embarrassing failure for the majority party. Now, Republicans look at this and think "Yes... good. It's working."

And other minorities do to us on a consistent basis to fit in.
These people act like being Black in this country ain't hard. Like we are spared from racism when we have never gotten away from it.
I snapped back that he is confused about the smell and it was only Nautica cologne. He made me step out and searched me and the entire vehicle. No drugs whatsoever.
We can start a whole damn thread on #Blacksky about this one. I had an entire suit on going to class and got pulled over for reckless driving, the cop told me. Then he immediately said he smelled marijuana.
IT IS a culture willfully returning to the dark ages.

I just cannot believe how stupid this timeline is. It’s painful to contemplate, like watching a culture willfully return to the dark ages.

It is folks like this that just piss me off… I’m a Black man from SC. By 21, I’d been pulled over a few times for “driving too slow” or “looking suspicious.” Trailed 10 miles on I-20, asked if I had drugs when I’ve never touched drugs in my life. That’s profiling. So don’t pretend to know my life.
Gross. It's always interesting the things certain melanin challenged folks think they're entitled to say to Black folks. It's quite telling.😒
The context, now that they blocked Jaime
Seems to me the American voters screwed us all to blame Democrats for it.
Black employment is back up at 5.3 percent. Its by design.

Black women have every right to be furious. The irresponsible choices of white voters has for many of us, taken our livelihood with consequences for our homes, the education of our children, our ability to care for parents. It’s unconscionable. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...
I am out of gas. I will do my part. Tell others what I see and that's it. I will live in my own bubble at this point.
I don't think your brain died. It just had to do a Ctrl+Alt+Del reboot because of the abject stupidity of what you read. This country is going to go through some shit. I'm almost certain. We've been living above our collective level of intelligence for a while. We're entering the Dumb Age now.
I mean, I am sure this won't go over well with most of Bluesky but then again, they are cool with it as long as it someone they like.

Even then shit won't get done and he'll still get blamed.🤣🤣🤣
They want Hakeem Jeffries to make educational songs like Hannah Montana when she was studying for an anatomy exam
They want Hakeem Jeffries locked up or getting his ass beat.
Bernie Sanders said fuck the Democrats again today and I wonder will they stop recruiting Janet Mills if they have already started? Hey, the cool thing nowadays is to sabotage shit.

It makes no sense to keep pointing this out to people. They didn't listen the first time and they still aren't learning.
They want Charlie Willson to sing Magic and perform it.

Just saw a post where someone says Democrats should be talking about their accomplishments and their lack of power is an excuse. My brain died on site. It is what it is brother. The American voters did this and they need to fix this. That's the bottom line. Or we can all burn together.
