When he gets released, I hope Garcia sues the fuck out of Noem and the Dept. of Homeland.

Finally watched SINNERS last night. It is an ethnomusicologist's wet dream. Wow.

Is it audacity, or sheer stupidity? The way how Trump is speaking to the president South Africa is fucking unbelievable. For those who think that what he is saying is the "truth," please for the love of christ do your research.

Wow. Never thought that I'd agree with Piers Morgan. All I have to say to that white girl is "fuck around and find out."

I mean, I assumed that Musk would only take white folks to Mars, but this is pretty extreme.......

Imagine being a white boomer/Gen X'er screaming about affirmative action, DEI and "merit" in schools and jobs... Meanwhile, their kids and grandkids are using ChatGPT to write essays, date, and are becoming functionally illiterate...

The worst part about all of this shit is that despite all the advancements that society has made, the power of white opinion overrides the narratives of the marginalized people who speak from experience. But when you negate one's humanity for generations, this is what you get, I guess.

Yep! I remember working in law offices and whites getting mad when all the black employees would go to lunch together. Nuts.

I was thinking of writing about this issue because it drives me mad. Maybe I need a few days to cool down.....

Isn't he a podcaster? Why is he there? Why is he wearing a knit hat in the Spring? Is he cold, or balding?

People that SWORE Black people couldn't have possibly earned their accomplishments, are getting fired in less than 2 months of work. Poetic.

Yeah, this was a pathetic move, but I get what they are going for - assuming the general public looks at brown male bodies as a violent monolith, which in turn, obscures the capacity that white folks commit crime against young white ( and pretty) girls too. This mother is being used as a pawn. Sad.

People should be VERY concerned when the AG feels very comfortable in spewing racist lies to acquiesce to the president. This demonstrates that she cares more about her career than the people she is supposed to work for.

I've privately thought many nasty things about Abbott, but I keep them to myself. Yeah, I wouldn't have used these words, but until the GOP answers for their "Haitians eat cats and dogs" bullshit, I'll give Jasmine a pass.
