Bulletproof Wallet Carrier

Let me address the Black community real quick. Some of y’all “vote warriors” get on my last nerve. Because what I’m seeing is this: a lot of y’all treat voting like it’s a sport. Like it’s just something you’re supposed to do, no matter what, no questions asked. I recognize that a lot of y’all vote out of obligation because of what our ancestors went through. And yes, that history matters. But voting is not just a rite of passage. It’s supposed to be a tool. It’s supposed to be strategic. Meanwhile, there are people like me, Black leftists, who take voting seriously as part of a larger fight for real democracy. But a lot of y’all Black liberals are just voting out of habit and calling it activism. It’s the same reason you’ll say “vote blue no matter who,” but in the same breath admit that not everybody Black is for us. If you can recognize that about Black people, why can’t you recognize that not every Democrat is for us either? Y’all love to act like you’re warriors for voting rights, but you’re treating it like a game. Our ancestors risked and lost their lives for liberation, not just participation. But a lot of y’all just want comfort. You don’t want to disrupt anything. You don’t want to struggle. And the truth is, sometimes you have to go through the ugly to get what we actually deserve. Our ancestors fought for Black liberation, but what we got came with constraints and means testing. And now Black leftists are trying to push us beyond those limits, while a lot of y’all are comfortable staying inside them. We’re never going to move forward if we keep voting for anybody just because they have “Democrat” in front of their name, especially when they’re not willing to challenge a system that was built on racist foundations and still operates on racist rules. Ask yourself this: why is it that every time we need policies that would actually move us forward, we get means-tested half-measures instead? Just enough to say something was done, but never enough to actually change our conditions. Universal healthcare would lift a huge number of Black people out of medical debt. Tuition-free college would help address the student debt crisis that disproportionately affects us. We are among the poorest groups in this country, yet many of y’all stand next to white liberals calling these policies “too radical” or “unrealistic.” But let’s be real. The Black Panther Party was advocating for these kinds of policies. Malcolm X spoke on these kinds of issues. Martin Luther King Jr. was pushing toward economic justice and the Poor People's Campaign before he was killed. These ideas are not new. They are part of our history. But somewhere along the way, a lot of Black people shifted away from that and settled into moderate liberalism without realizing that liberalism has often meant maintaining limits on our liberation, not removing them. And that’s the problem.

A New York City councilwoman is publicly fantasizing about killing me, and somehow I'm the threat..

I really haven’t seen anyone “shitting on Mills.” Why would anybody do that? Didn’t seem like she really wanted to run anyway. I’ve seen people dunk on Schumer but he’s a big boy, he can take it. Meanwhile anybody who supported Platner has been called a Nazi apologist the pay 6 months by the Bluesky tourists who still visit here. So yeah I assume some of them are salty.

finally, some clarity & leadership from Obama on Gaza: "Eh, ah, uh, but, here's the uh, I, I'm happy to talk about this if the, it's part of the question, but, again, some rules around how we talk [applause] Yes, there are disasters & catastrophes everywhere [more applause]"

Writing this the day after the Supreme Court destroyed the Voting Rights Act is definitely a choice.

FIFA President Infantino just tried to force the representative of Palestine to stand with Israel and take a picture at the 76th FIFA Congress Palestine refused instead shouting out "We are suffering" FIFA is a sick organization and the World Cup should be boycotted by everyone

I really appreciate that dudes can’t even begin to fathom why a lady superhero might simply not want kids lmaooooooo

💯💯💯 Black voters fought an incredibly difficult uphill battle to get two Georgia Senators elected in 2020 to gives Dems the majority and were rewarded by Biden going back on the $2,000 check promise and telling us by summer he “didn’t know if it could pass.”

Because Hillary wasn’t entitled to his vote

the community note 😭 xavier becerra is shameless

@YourOldDroog ICP definitely.

Who is Jessie Pinkman’s favorite underground rapper ?

These people are simply not well. And democrats need to never take any political advice from people like this ever again. These are the ones we should be worried about. They’ll burn the world down because their chosen candidate ran a terrible campaign and lost.

Dawwwww No more back and forths with Booker I'm not popular amongst zionists of any race these days

You niggas just ignoring the racism kinda giving me the impression a lot of yall are into raceplay without even realizing it

Imagine admitting you’d vote for someone who voted to confirm the judges who just gutted the Voting Rights Act Voting for the very same people who’d put you back in chains There’s a word for people like you

I have something to say about black “liberals” like the ones in these screenshots… stop listening to what they have to say. They will screw over the Democratic Party if their chosen candidates don’t win. They’ll even support the GOP- who is rolling back basic rights.

Even if Voting Rights Act protections were blocked in the Senate, Dems did not prioritize filibuster reform. Biden leaned on exec orders he knew were reversible instead of escalating procedurally. Its always “democracy is under threat” but nvr willingness to move beyond managing that threat within the same system producing it.

Chris Rabb, PA-03 candidate, calls out Democrats who want war in Iran "It's real easy pickings going after Orange Menace. That's fun. The hard work is holding your own party to account when some in your own party want the war! Am I allowed to use the F-word in here? Fetterman? Not all Democrats are created equal. There are Warhawks in our party! We need some anti-war, anti-imperialist, anti-militarist Democrats who we send to Congress. If most people in our party are taking money, who want the war in Iran—I didn't say AIPAC—then you have to understand those folks are compromised before they even get to office. Follow the money.
