If only confronting race and inequity was that simple. The removal of a divisive symbol (amid massive protests) isn’t race analysis. It isn’t policy, either. The people of #Charleston deserve a leader who can bring about real, measurable solutions. Not just performative allyship.

This interview devolved into a hyperbolic, non sequitur gumbo. It was frustrating to watch. The respectability politics, the condemning of Black ppl/culture really turned me off. He’s still very upset and that’s ok. But accusing EVERY critic of having an agenda isn’t smart.

I challenged Kwame Brown on his decision to give the world the “bull sh*t” they wanted when he was so much more. @kwan_low5’s explanation was thorough, & parts made sense… but I think we will agree to disagree #Respectfully @thepivot youtu.be/AfSfbxiwEnw

When you only recognize racism in its explicit forms and fail to acknowledge its structural forms, it’s easier to dismiss the lifelong bigotry of a 95 yo lawmaker. Ravenel, like many others, mostly used policy making to sow seeds of anti-Black racism. This is who he was, though.

Dear Dems, you actually don't have to lovingly eulogize Arthur Ravenel. Especially given his affinity for, ya know, yt supremacy.

STOP BEING SO QUICK TO ACCEPT RIGHT WING COPAGANDA AS TRUTH. Stop saying it doesn’t matter whether Keenan Anderson had cocaine in his system and instead ask how tf are they asserting he had cocaine in his system when there hasn’t even been an autopsy yet!! THEY ARE LYING.

Police killed nearly 100 people a month in 2022. There were only 12 days police didn’t kill someone. The majority of killings took place in scenarios where no crime was alleged or where police were called for nonviolent offenses or mental health checks.

Who hires a campaign consultant that monitors their mentions in the off chance there’s a person of color in there criticizing them so that they can reply by calling them lazy people who bitch and whine too much? Am I hallucinating? Yikes.

Replying to @MusingMadman and @scdp
just like the rest, no answer to a very basic question. You just attack. You don't want solutions, you just want to bitch. That's why you quit. Bc u don't want to do the actual work, you just want to whine from the cheap seats. One more chance, what did the SCDP do to Mia?

Breaking a rail strike. Going easy on airline cancellations. The Southwest meltdown. Now the FAA computers are down. At a certain point, neoliberals need to come to terms that the DOT is not performing well.
