The word you’re looking for is Captive Maternals

Black women show up every single time. Every single time Black women show up and we are let down every time. We can only do so much we are a minority



We need a genuine left or a flat out revolution. We can’t have neither and expect favorable outcomes. Things are grim but we are not defenseless. We can organize. We can fight. And in the face of unbridled right wing fascism, we can general strike.


You know what voter base is never castigated. White men. Because you all respect the white man’s freedom of choice. It is baked in. But for the rest of us, we are political cattle whose job is to prop up a party that abuses us. Any deviation and here y’all come with the lash.

I wish I could ask the Cubans, the Colombians etc… to issue refugee visas and scholarships for displaced Sudanese as well. Who do I need to talk to? I’m being serious.

🚨🇨🇺🇵🇸 BREAKING: Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel has announced 200 scholarships for PALESTINIANS to study medicine in Cuba.

This goes beyond electoral politics-You people want to slap “POC” over a massive community and pretend they are similarly socially positioned and politically motivated as African Americans, and that couldn’t be further from the truth. And they showed y’all that this election.

Want to acknowledge and publicly appreciate the hard work of GEO folks and community canvassers who got an arms divestment initiative on the ballot in Champaign County.


Begging y’all to read The Captive Maternal by Joy James

I fear many of yall are in an abusive relationship with the Democratic Party.

“If any 3rd Party gets 5% of vote, they’ll get on a # of ballots automatically & get between $10M and $20M in federal funding which they can use to build a larger more vibrant party.” Me: “Did you ever hear that on the news?” “HELL NO!” #ElectionDay #Vote2024

I think it’s extremely weird that genocide is not a dealbreaker for yall.

Jill Stein has not withdrawn from the race in Ohio. An unauthorized person submitted paperwork to withdraw our VP candidate in Ohio, which should never have been accepted by the state of Ohio. We have an ongoing legal battle to make Ohio count votes for Jill Stein.

“Any vote for Jill Stein will not be counted” Ohio Elections Board posts signs in every voting booth saying their vote will not be counted if they vote for Jill Stein or Anita Rios, claiming they had dropped out of the race
