    Do we really believe ppl support Trump because they think he's a successful business person? So why didn't they love Mitt Romney? The racism and misogyny was and remains the main dish.

    Also, this writing makes me 🤬: “in neighborhoods in which minorities make up a majority of the population, according to an NBC News analysis.” ... So, by definition, NOT “MINORITIES”

    Notable. Means she’s talking to ppl the other candidates are not, which is at least one indication of how much she’ll be able to expand the electorate

    These fundraising numbers show lapping the field in fundraising numbers from communities of color. [braces for people telling me Buttigieg and Biden just haven't had *time* to *outreach* to these communities, but they totally will someday!]

    I was denied a car loan last year for being late on one car payment. This dude blew a billion in loans over a decade and then opened a new hotel next to the White House

    I mean did they give him a sub-prime loan at least?

    On the day and released its episode 'Giving Birth While Black,' released new numbers on maternal mortality. They're still bad. Listen on for more information... and potential solutions:

    A report from the CDC found that: —black women were 3.3 times more likely than white women to suffer a pregnancy-related death
 —Native American and Alaska Native women were 2.5 times more likely to suffer a pregnancy-related death than white women

    Damn. That's a lotta money. Maybe it was Obama-era economic growth?

    Sen. Mitch McConnell's net worth: 2005: $2,962,015 2015: $26,927,535 Increase: $23,965,520 (+809.1%) How does a senator earning $193,400 a year increase their net worth by nearly $2.4 million a year, every year for a decade?

    2/2 Sandra Bland's life and death is so much deeper & more complex than the moment of conflict with the cop. To truly understand anti-black violence, we must widen our view. 's profile was essential reading for that:
