"First, there’s the extent Trump has built a psychologically needy narrative around this fucking pool. Amid a series of purported before and after comparisons on a range of topics — many integrating AI slop or outright lies — of his own Administration with what came before, he has made the project an explicit attempt to wipe out the work of Barack Obama (which is why I’ve included his AI slop portrayals of Obama’s library as trash).

Trump is using the presidency not so much to govern, but to attempt to erase the contributions of Black Americans, all in an attempt to feed his narcissistic pathologies."

The Reflecting Pool Arrests Are an Attempt to Cover Up Trump's Corruption - emptywheel

Trump is demanding arrests of people who witness the failure of his reflecting pool project. That distracts from the failure, sure, but it also covers up the corruption behind that failure.

What is the Anti-Woke-DEI really about?

Once upon a time, not so long ago, when Black Americans started to rise in wealth and status in American society, their cities and businesses would be burnt to the ground and leaders killed in horrific ways. Today it is much harder to burn Black cities...

How this Supreme Court Session Could Mean the End of the Voting Rights Act for Black Americans

This Supreme Court case could mean the end of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 as we know it, and guess who will be impacted the most...

Two of the three home healthcare workers helping us let my father-in-law die at home are Black women. He's an asshole, and a fucking racist, whose favorite curse includes the n-bomb.

While I think he's unlikely to drop it in their presence, and very unlikely to call them that, I wouldn't put it past him. His cognitive decline makes that more difficult to assess reliably.

Do I give them a heads-up that it might happen, and encourage them to tell us about it, so we can at least make sure there are unpleasant consequences if he does?

If you're Black, and willing to advise if my warning them could be a microagression, I'd be very grateful. Advice from others accepted, too, it just won't be nearly as valuable. Of course.

I think we should be very suspicious of the #memes and posts calling for #blackfolks to "rest" to not showup and showout at #protests. We know that #divideandconquer is the oldest trick in the #oppressor playbook. #blacklivesmatter #BlackMastodon #TrumpLiesMatter #GeneralStrike
