I just say shit until something smart pops out. Columnist @ Dame Magazine, bylines @ The Cut, Harper’s Bazaar and more. Black, millennial, feminist, tired. Probably eating carbs. gothamgirlblue.com: has it all
Here’s the other portion of the Enforcement Act of 1870, laying out penalties for holding office contrary to the 14th Amendment. At no point does the Trump v Anderson case (or the law they cite) suggest that ineligible candidates be allowed to run for office. Or that doing otherwise is “enforcement”
Friends don’t let friends post this level of mind-numbing ignorance on the internet
None of these presidents handled a primary challenge after winning the office because as Reagan v Ford and Kennedy v Carter demonstrated, primaries undermine a candidate from both directions
Y’all thought I was joking when I said we at least got “Black jobs” out of Donald Trump on that debate stage last night. My people know what’s up and are gonna riff on that shit
The perfect way to prepare for Juneteenth is reading accounts of enslaved people freeing themselves after the Emancipation Proclamation once Union lines were established nearby.
I suppose technically he could say he was a resident of Florida when elected but I’d be an aggressive little twat about it if I had the power and influence to do so
I wanted a little bit more, so I knew it would have costs, but if I had opted out of the restaurant dinner, I would have gotten away with a backyard wedding with professional photography for about $2.5k.
Remember when Adams says we need more cuts to essential services to afford overtime for cops that NYC is looking at historic budget surpluses over the next two years. He’s messing with the numbers to shield his fascist priorities
If you are a non-Black person in conversation about the Civil Rights Movement with a Black person, please do not do this! I didn’t learn about the suffering of my people for critical analysis or to build arguments, but for my survival. I live this. It’s wildly disrespectful to my experience.
It ships frozen! If you can eat dairy, you’re welcome. If not, I am sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you. If you don’t like custard desserts…well, I love you anyway 😂
Love to pretend that we have no evidence of how the system is supposed to punish a wayward executive when the men who were pitching the Constitution as a new government explicitly said how we should hold them accountable
We did not get a whole musical for y’all to ignore Hamilton
Unsurprisingly, Jackie Robinson was an outspoken defender of civil rights and had a weekly editorial with one of the most prestigious Black newspapers in the country after his playing days. And he wasn’t shy about his opinions either. What he would say about the Kennedys…🫢
Happy Jackie Robinson Day to all who celebrate one of the best days on the baseball calendar
This is one of my favorite images in all of American history, Jackie stealing home in game 1 of the 1955 World Series. Against the Yankees. In the Bronx.
Jackie was just built different, y’all
A lifelong Republican, Robinson would go on to repudiate Goldwater as the party nominee, and would never publicly advocate for a Republican presidential nominee again, despite campaigning for both Eisenhower and Nixon (1960).
Uri Berliner sounds like someone paranoid about Secret Minority Meetings and being made uncomfortable when challenged by POC.
He's still treating the fact of systemic racism's existence as a fringe theory of "progressive activists," not an area deep with scholarship and quantitative research!
