I'm a 59 year old African American woman. I've desegregated a town, a school system and many other spaces. When I discuss racism in this nation, I'm not going to ameliorate my speech for the comfort of anyone. I don't exist to comfort others about the reality of what I was born into - what we all live in together. If that's a problem for you, I suggest you embark on some self-reflection to determine what your actual role is within this system.

Switching parties while in office is a big FUCK YOU to everyone that voted for you. It's a very scummy move.

When I watch movies about kings and their courts, I always wonder why the fuck anyone would want to be a member of that shit. Kissing crazy ass all day long, subject to the whims of imbeciles.🙄

Three people I know just retired within the last few months are were looking forward to the next phase of life. One was diagnosed with cancer and has 3 months to live. One started forgetting things, was diagnosed with dementia and has less than a year to live and the last person had a heart attack last night and died. Don't take anything for granted.

Is owning a home during climate change an asset or a liability? 🤔

SOMEONE is going to be elected president of the U.S. in November. It can either be the guy you yell at who changes his approach, or the guy you yell at who puts you in a camp. Up to you.

On some level, I find it fascinating that a species aware of what may cause their own extinction, will do nothing about it.

FUCK the word resilience. If we were all treated like HUMAN BEINGS, no one would have to be so damn resilient.

My son's dentist office called to schedule an appointment. He asked how much it would cost and realized it would be cheaper to do it in Spain, inclusive of airfare, food and renting an apt. for a week.

If you know the fascist plan is to psychologically exhaust you with their bullshit, then don't pay so much attention to their bullshit.

The fact that this presidential immunity question is being discussed in SCOTUS makes this nation look like the land of morons. Seriously.🙄

I just went to CVS to pick up my dad's meds. It's not bad enough that one of the drugs costs $515.00, but those fuckers charged me 3x for it and then told me with fucking attitude that they didn't when my bank sent me a text saying that they did. I almost lost my mind on those assholes.

When you think about how long governments have known about climate change, there's been NO FUCKING LEADING WHATSOEVER.

If you refuse to vote for the guy that's NOT a fascist because you don't like something he did, you're a moron.

We should build a prison for him in Queens. It would really bother him.

You know, when I look back on my life, I think it is utterly fucking amazing that for most of it, I had to literally argue with people as to the actual EXISTENCE of racism in this confederate ass hellhole. My whole fucking LIFE in white spaces. Holy hell. It's hard to be sane in this bitch, I'll tell you that.

A perfectly healthy American could get shot at a parade, go to the hospital and contract covid.

If you’re white and anti-racist, why do you have racist friends? How low is your bar set? RAISE IT.

Remember the fucking corrupt media was spinning tales about how Trump would rise to the level of being presidential.🙄

StillIRise1963, 1 month ago to random

"The New York Times reports that Trump is planning to 'build huge camps to detain people,' and 'to get around any refusal by Congress to appropriate the necessary funds, Mr. Trump would redirect money in the military budget.’ "

"How many people? ‘Millions’ writes the Times. And not just immigrants: Trump is planning to send his enemies to them, too.”

“ 'The girl had a panic attack and passed out. We had elderly people, we had babies. We had pregnant women, not even water. You didn’t even pass around water,' says Ieronimo."

“ 'We were trapped on that plane for 7 hours in 70-80 plus heat,' passengers tell the worker."

WHY ARE WE PAYING MORE THAN EVER TO FLY TO BE TREATED LIKE THIS?

The only way to get where ALL OF US want to go, is through using JOE BIDEN to get to the NEXT STEP. There is NO OTHER WAY. The only other candidate who can win, will make everything you want to see happen merely ACADEMIC. You'll NEVER be able to fight for whatever it is, EVER AGAIN. You won't be able to BE IT, DO IT, TALK ABOUT IT without serious problems. There's NOTHING TO THINK ABOUT.
