Ew. Pelosi and Jeffries consistently undermined Harris and her team, in all the insidious & mean girl ways you might expect. If your adjacency to Pelosi, Jeffries, and the like is how you live your life - then this misogynoir fueled take is what I expect. Spare us the “insider take” b/c it is trash.

Nonviolence is the only way forward. For all of us. Sharing graphically violent images is destructive. It dehumanizes. It desensitizes. It numbs our souls to suffering. It’s never ok. Humans have demonstrated that the more violence we see, the more violent we can be. Enough.

Over her figure is a handwritten quote in white text that reads: “The wicked become even worse when they are tolerated.” – Tolstoy.

Read my post again. This is about the attempts to convince Black and White voters not to vote for politicians who claim African/ Caribbean heritage-- by claiming they are fraudulently cosplaying as Black -- as if being Black grants power and privilege. Yes, its absurd, and that is the point.

Obama's Kenyan father, and his middle name being Hussein brought accusations of being an "anti-colonialist" and a "secret Muslim." There are direct ties between normalized anti-Blackness, Africaness being disqualifying and suspicious --and normalized Islamophobia -- as we see with Mamdani.

If Mamdani had checked just Asian or say, Asian and white (bear with me) NYT would never have run that story. The only reason they ran that story is because of the cultural belief that being Black gives you leg up in society despite research that says that isn't true.

Correct. The common tactic we can see in the last ten years is that mixed-race politicians who claim Black international/ or African heritage are "not really Black" -- so as to dissuade Black Americans from supporting them. See Obama, Harris, Mamdani. Clockwork. Nasty work.

Long time coming. The House of Representatives passed an amendment to an annual defense bill one year ago that would have outlawed this. The Senate did not. When the bills were merged in a backroom deal, the amendment vanished. This happened while Schumer led the Senate, but after Trump won.
