Pretty decent article. Interesting to see former staffer skepticism. Makes you wonder if they had that attitude during the 2024 election.

A clock gunna be correct at least once

At first I had to wait til my account was 40something days old for my posts to even have visibility here. Now I have to pass an invisible karma ceiling for my posts to be visible in any thread with mildly productive discussion. And then being waterboarded with some fuck ass message about how it’s ‘necessary’ to be this way. And then you try to message a mod with an extremely mild question AND GET BARRED FROM MESSAGING THE MODS AGAIN FOR A MONTH?!?!

HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO MEET THIS CRITERIA WHEN PRO BLACK TALKING POINTS ARE CONSTANTLY MASS DOWNVOTED BY BAD FAITH VISITORS? (Who can still vote in these ‘discussion’ posts btw)

What, am I supposed to ‘yass queen’ and ‘username checks out’ my way into the Black excellence club? At that point, what am I fighting to participate in? I mean fuck, even being frustrated with this level of gatekeeping is probably violating some term and condition and this post will be deleted. 🙄

I understand not having a perfect solution for elevating Black voices here, but I have a feeling many of us are getting swept up in the filters.. which WILL lead to us just saying fuck it and leaving. I’m trying so hard to be a part of space for other Black people but y’all are making it a nightmare.

Vote Donald Trump and his Republicans out.

I voted early, Dem up and down the ballot. I can't decide which city I want to celebrate in on the upcoming election night. In which city do you plan to celebrate in Georgia, Florida, Michigan, Wisconsin, or in another state?

The Elephant in the Room:

In a recent episode of The Vic Mensa Show, Vic Mensa and Abdul El-Sayed have a frank conversation about anti-Black sentiment within the Arab and Muslim communities, and how to move toward genuine solidarity.

Vic Mensa highlights to Abdul, his experience growing up in a predominantly Black neighborhood run by Arab shopkeepers who often exhibit anti-Black bias, while also citing instances of anti-Black rhetoric he encountered during his travels in Palestine, and multiple instances of people there, adults and children calling him "Abeed", words for "slave" and "ni**er".

Him and Abdul acknowledges the pervasive nature of this issue, also in Palestine, Sudan, Libya, and even Egypt where his background is, describing it as a "zero-sum" mentality where arab groups think that in order to grow globally they must or exploit the Black community, who are conditioned to accept that explotation and suffering in silence.

Abdul acknowledges, growing up in Detroit he sees how Arabs will take advantage of black oppression in their neighborhoods to sell alcohol, and things that are seen as haram, and dissconext themselves from that community to take advantage of, and how we gotta acknowledge the elephant in the room.

Key Takeaways for Moving Forward:

Accountability: The guest emphasizes that arabs claiming moral high ground (e.g., in faith) while acting in ways that is "haram" and harming another community is a contradiction that needs to be addressed.

Historical Literacy: The guest credits mentorship from Black teachers with helping him understand the history of civil rights and immigration, noting that many communities benefit from legislation fought for by Black organizers and that should be listened too snd learned from instead of being used as a means for their own progression at the expense of black lives.

Broadening the Scope: They agree that fighting for a more equitable society shouldn't be about "joining a club" to secure a seat at the table, but about building a larger table that includes everyone—Black, Arab, white, Asian, and Latino communities alike.

Sudan is being weakened, divided, and Balkanized. Carved up yet again, with outside powers (the UAE puppet dictatorship, smaller autonomous zones (Puntland, Eastern Libya), Ethiopia, US-ISR) backing rebel group through proxies.

There’s a pattern: when regions can’t be conquered by outside powers, they’re instead divided and weakened to the extent they’ll never be able to challenge outside dominance in the region. Their resources are exploited and they’re unable to negotiate since they don’t have a strong unified state.

Meanwhile, they're trying to stop US from voting

According to locals, the students are Mexican.

Label it whatever! We are tired!!!

Angie Nixon and I both got our start as organizers. It taught us something important: Real change starts when regular Folks stand up for what's right. And Angie has spent her career standing up for you.

When working Families were struggling to get by, Angie fought for a $15 minimum wage.

When Politicians in the state capital tried to tell People what they could and couldn't read, she opened a bookstore to let you decide.

And when Republicans tried to redraw congressional maps, to deny Voters a voice, she was on the front lines trying to stop it.

Different issues, different moments, one Leader willing to stand up again and again for what's right.

That's why I believe Angie will be an outstanding US Senator.

So, cast your vote for Angie Nixon, on or before November 3rd.

- President Barack Obama
