Left of Democrat, #VoteBlue, #ResistFascism, #BLM, #LBGTQ+, Great grandma, love all creatures great and small. I started singing at age 3, and 70+ years later, I'm still singing. Trying to age gracefully! #Animals#Climate#Music
When my sister sold her home, she had her white realtor come to show the appraiser around. She LEFT HER OWN HOME during the process. Right now, my college friend is removing all signs of Blackness from her home before she puts it on the market. All art, photos, statues are being packed. All books are being turned spine in. THIS IS WHAT RACISM DOES.
@StillIRise1963 My very blue state neighbor just put her home up for sale. She was having her home staged and told me with a chuckle, "First, they have to unblack my house." Of course, it was no joke. And she was right - all her beautiful art and her treasured furniture is gone, and it is a cold, sterile look meant to appeal to a majority of buyers (white). I know neutral is good, but this was extreme. Sad.
Nice job, NY. Lower his bond by 3/4 and give him another 10 days. I thought he'd find a way to make bond, but I didn't think you'd do it FOR him!! No accountability EVER.
One of my favorite hobbies is conducting genealogy research and as someone who is descended from slaves, I've had to turn to 23andme to fill in some holes and one of the most gut-wrenching moments that I had was seeing that I was related to a family that is clustered around the DMV area and not being able to figure out that in related to this family, until i realized one of my ancestors were more than likely sold away at some point.
I haven’t watched yet, we DVR’d. Now I’m not so sure I want to.
Via Stephen Robinson:
Jon Stewart complaining that 2024 is “two old guys” again is like me complaining that it’s “two white guys” again. It misses the point and minimizes the stakes.
Via Aaron Rupar:
Some of Stewart’s jokes landed but I would argue the message of his monologue is actually the very last thing we need right now unless you want four more years of Trump. It certainly didn’t inspire anyone to vote.
NYT: Three Tacoma police officers who were acquitted in the death of Manuel Ellis, a Black man who died in police custody in 2020 after pleading that he could not breathe, will each receive $500,000 for resigning, according to documents released on Tuesday.
@GottaLaff This is just beyond all reason. I am so angry! They'll all be employed again soon. I can't imagine the additional pain Manny's family is feeling!
Again, I won't reply to you while live-posting multiple accounts. If you want me to see your reply, please wait until AFTER the threads are over and reply to me then.❤️

As always, I can’t reply during live-thread of multiple reporters. Plz remember to preface q’s w “Not for Laffy” or something similar since I’m too distracted to answer. Others can for me. TY.
