Punishing Black Women for the Crime of Existing & Flourishing

Image
            By now, most of the United States has been made aware of the goal of the #abandonHarris "Movement"...to punish VP Harris.  Why does she need to be punished... a short story...she dares to be Black, brilliant, and successful.  There was NO call for the punishment of Biden.  They did attempt to muddy the factual waters regarding what Biden did, was able to do, and was willing to do.  No one called for former Secretary of State Clinton to be punished and she had more power regarding Palestine and Israel.        One can try to "sugarcoat" the motivation behind this band of uncommitted election terrorists...but the misogynoir is deafening at this point.  They are choosing to undercut the SINGULAR political option (at the commander-in-chief level) instead of bringing light to why Zionists and their sympathizers should NOT be returned to office.  This is a collection of people that are CHOOSING to...

Your Patriotism is Racism

Image
            Since Trump decided to throw his hat into the political arena, the already sketchy definition of "patriotism" has become DEFINITIVELY racist.  Before you begin to contort yourself into believing that I am reaching... consider the reactions to the DNC this year.  Good ol [self-proclaimed] patriots have been unraveling due to their "belief" that photos of the US and music created by citizens were NOT patriotic.  How did they come to this [utterly asinine] conclusion? Non-white people being the focal point.  Non-racist, unifying, inspiring music being utilized.  All gender identities are welcomed.  Inclusion and diversity are NOT patriotic to US patriots.        These hoodless nationalists are increasingly disgusted by the fact that the USA is FINALLY representing who has been trapped within its borders for generations.  The Eurocentric standard forced upon stolen land is subtly losin...

Dem Party Platform 2024

Image
   Democratic National Convention Land Acknowledgement The Democratic National Committee wishes to acknowledge that we gather together to state our values on lands that have been stewarded through many centuries by the ancestors and descendants of Tribal Nations who have been here since time immemorial. We honor the communities native to this continent, and recognize that our country was built on Indigenous homelands. We pay our respects to the millions of Indigenous people throughout history who have protected our lands, waters, and animals. While we meet in Chicago, we also recognize and honor the traditional homelands of the Anishinaabe, also known as the Council of the Three Fires: the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi Nations. We acknowledge the many other tribes who consider this area their traditional homeland, including the Myaamia, Ho-Chunk, Menominee, Sac and Fox, Peoria, Kaskaskia, Wea, Kickapoo, and Mascouten. Democrats continue to support tribes as they advocate for t...
