This is your voting calculus. It is actually 1st grade simple math. It isn't about your privilege, it is about who is being harmed most and who is LEAST likely to harm them more.

As Americans, we have a duty to do the right thing when it comes to our country.
So let's do what we can to help put the NYT out of business. If they don't want to report the news fairly and accurately, then perhaps they don't deserve the opportunity to report the news at all.

Allwftopic @AllwftopicNew York Times editor Joe Kahn says defending democracy is a partisan act and he won’t do it
"He had an extraordinary opportunity, upon taking over from Dean Baquet, to right the ship: to recognize that the Times was not warning sufficiently of the threat to democracy"09:14 PM - May 07, 2024

This is one of my new most favorite things!
The drum solo is good, but a little long, so skip to the cellists if you want to see/hear my favorite part.

Has there EVER, ever in the history of all time, been a single use of the phrase "racial overtones" whereat the word "racism" would not have been more accurate?

In my 20s, I was very rigid in my thinking. I thought everyone shared my outlook on life, specifically among common courtesies and expectations.
But I realized people don't.
And I'm glad I've grown beyond thought.

There is outrageous!
There is no excuse for this in this day and time.
Racism, bureaucracy, politics and backwards thinking have played a huge role with this tragedy.

Amid Syphilis Outbreak in Great Plains Tribes, Feds Silent — ProPublica
The syphilis rate among Indigenous people in the Great Plains is higher than at any point in 80 years of records. More than 3% of Native American babies born in South Dakota last year had the preventable and curable — but potentially fatal — disease.

A lie about a semen stain on a blue dress had these bammas ready to impeach a president. But sexual assault liability (Carroll) and testimony under oath about what appears to have been nonconsensual unprotected sex (Daniels) has THE SAME MFers minimizing, ignoring, dismissing what a woman is saying.

LOL, my son texted me and asked for his SSN because he can't find his card & he's drawing a blank on the first three numbers.
I asked him why he needed it [is this just a Black mama thing?} and he responded "So I can know it bruh".

Agreed.
It's a timely reminder that if consent has not been enthusiastically and freely given, then it hasn't been given. And even when it has, it can be revoked at any given time.
Assault isn't always brutal. It's often coerced and implied. And that's still wrong.

IMO @IMOSadly what Stormy went through with 45 is no different than what thousands (if not more), women go through daily with sexual predators like 45.02:17 PM - May 07, 2024
Network News media is acting like this type of sexual coercion is something new and rare, it’s NOT!

If you have never been to NYC, this photo is facing south (and is missing upper Manhattan, which is rude). The borough of Queens is on the left, separated by the East River, and New Jersey is on the right, separated by the Hudson River.

2018 fucking broke me. My stepfather died, I had to admit to myself that TWO people I'd cared for a lot had raped me in dealing with the Kavanaugh hearings, and that October my best friend who was my sister died.
I will never work through the rapes. I'll never get past the anger b/c it's healthy.

Honey and pepper and roses en déshabillé @DianeLMajorEvery woman I know has some "I mean it wasn't a *rape* really" experience, and many of us have been forced through the "no, that was rape" experience. Days like today, and Christine Blasey Ford's testimony, and Anita Hill's--it can be difficult to cope.06:22 PM - May 07, 2024

Indiana had its primary today. There is trouble in trump country even though we are a very red state. Nikki Haley got 23% of the vote. Indiana went blue for Obama when he was elected. Indiana has a slim possibility of going blue again If Biden can get those Nikki Haley voters! GOTV!

And there were TWO trucks...so who was driving the other truck and did either truck have passengers? They should *all* be charged with a hate crime. Such bullshit.
