Is Trump ahead in the polls, because Biden is losing support amongst one of his key demographics: Black men? Or are the polls all a lie?

Trump ahead in polls?
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/13/us/politics/biden-trump-battleground-poll.html

Biden camp doesn't believe the polls?
https://www.axios.com/2024/05/14/biden-polls-denial-trump-2024-election

Either way, the most important thing to do, is to ignore, insult, argue with, and generally disrespect, Black men online! 🤡 Find a Black man, and yell "Trump is worse!" in his face as hard as you can! Swear at him, and threaten him with violence!

@mekkaokereke I hate this is right but it is...

The whole point about removing a fashie is get rid of the fash root and stem and then do good things for everyone to fix the problems that brought out the fash in the first place

For whatever reason, this part seems to never be worked on.

If you don't fix the problems more come and multiply, and eventually people will vote for the fash because "what is the difference".

That is to say, for the people in the comments who are shocked don't be 🤔

@StillIRise1963 the comments are right...

But I would add... it was a way to be respectable while oppressing, a fig leaf if you will

But now everyone knows so there is no point 🤔

Meghan Markle looking radiant as she visits Nigeria.🇳🇬♥️

Sometimes I get sad thinking about what could have been, and how many deep wounds could have been healed. I can see a world where we can all say "imperialism was bad, slavery was bad, colonialism was bad, and exploiting smaller countries for their natural resources is bad. Let's choose to do better."

When I think about which royals could bridge our current world with that better world, I think of Harry and Meghan.

It still tickles me that the TERFS and Transphobes tried to claim Terry Pratchett as their own, and everyone who actually knew him, including his daughter, and co-author Neil Gaiman, was like WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, you couldn't be further from the truth.

Forget Chekhov's Gun, it should be Chekhov's Parrot. If a Parrot is introduced in the first act, it will absolutely give away an important secret in the third.

I'm going to ramble a bit, but it will hopefully come around to something. When I was growing up, I read a lot of older historical book series, a big one would be the Little House On The Prairie series. While I really enjoyed it, there are some very obviously negative portrayals of Native Americans and African Americans. I remember being angry about it as a kid, and my Dad telling me, that part of learning about history is that we have to acknowledge the people we were, and still are. But because Little House on the Prairie is only semi-autobiographical, I still have mixed feelings about this. I do think they are well written books by a female author, an interesting perspective on early American life, and as an adult I can see and acknowledge the issues with the text. If we try to get rid of every author with racist ideas there wouldn't be much left to read from the 20th Century, and it also feels like being dishonest about who we are. So, I'm very mixed, how do you all feel about it? Do you think children can handle books with racial issues like this if it's explained to them? What is our responsibility here?

@RickiTarr The problem is "the classics" used is classics...

For ONE GROUP OF PEOPLE

Whereas there are classics for many and yet none of those are looked at... 🤔

But yeah... I would want way more than what we get

The super illiterate things people say in social media were funny until I understood just how fucking illiterate the nation actually was.

Aviva_Gary,
@Aviva_Gary@noc.social avatar

@StillIRise1963 it's like those TV spots when they ask a rando person on the street a random fact we should all know and they don't know it...

Those were supposed to be funny... I always found them scary 😬

KKK demonstrations are protected by the police. Yet, police are called if students and Jewish groups speak out about genocide in Palestine and they are proclaimed antisemites. AT WHAT POINT does all this fuckery BIND US ALL TOGETHER IN THE FIGHT?

What makes going out to eat in the U.S. much less fun is the fact that your time is limited. The table has to turn over to someone else after the allotted time and I hate it. I don’t appreciate people telling me I have to go.

Last night our real estate agent (also a friend, lives across the street) gave me THE most delicious mini-cake for Mother's Day.

I mean, deeeee-lish.

She also happens to be a top notch agent, so there's that.

My dog spends 3 days a week with my parents from 10a - 6p. They pet her and cater to her needs all day long. They even give me behavioral reports when I pick her up. Now, this dog expects everyone to be at her beck and call.

At first, I was really insulted by the stupidity of the lies being told. Then, I understood they had so much disdain for ALL of us, that we were all so fucking insignificant, that they didn’t even feel the need to make sense.

At the beginning of this saga, I thought white people would be so angry at being treated in your face badly, that they wouldn’t put up with it. I think my miscalculation was thinking what was in your face would be seen and that the blindness would be willful to the point of suicidal.

We wrapped up the day with some news.

The hush money trial now features... yet another hush money deal.

Prosecutors say Allen Weisselberg is getting $750k this year to keep quiet about his former boss.

@GottaLaff 👀 How much money in total do you think is paid so people keep quiet in that orbit.
