Twin Cities based actor. 2016 elections activated me on Twitter. Went there to listen to/amplify the heart of the Democratic Party, Black Women. Guess this is the next evolution. (He/Him/His) www.EricLeeActs.com

But if I am perfectly happy with my Democratic Party and we already have an infrastructure, then why would I want to go and exert more energy trying to get people to another party?

What is with the binaries? I can not want Sanders or Newsom at the same time. Thankfully there are more than two options and a deep bench of good Democrats.

Historians are going to point out all this antisemitism on the right AND the left. So some of you should stop it or else get shamed by the history books.

Nobody’s done more to amplify anti-Democratic sentiment, β€œvote rigging”, and β€œwhite working class” grievance above all else.

Four Democrats voted against the War Powers Resolution. Four. Israel had been attacked, Israelis raped and murdered, and there were forces ready to ride a wave of antisemitism to hurt Democrats, Israel, AND the Jewish people going into 2024. And there’s no Democrat that is for concentration camps.

They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more.

They've lied about all of them. They haven't shaded the truth. They haven't "misled" us. They've brazenly, knowingly lied while in possession of the evidence disproving their lies.

Thank you, Gov. Hobbs!

A third video also melds real combat footage with video-game clips, this time from Grand Theft Auto. A character from the game strolls down the street as the video jump-cuts to periscope footage of a US torpedo destroying an Iranian warship. β€œWASTED,” the screen announces.

The White House seems aware that fast-paced, low-budget or self-produced hype videos have been popular in recent years among the online right and far right. The videos tend to embrace an adrenaline-boosting retro-futurist aesthetic that appeals to nostalgia – especially to the music and movies of the 1980s and 1990s – while also predicting a boisterously optimistic near-future America with a renewed industrial heartland, fewer immigrants, roaring prosperity and defiant national self-confidence.

I know firsthand from talking to my son, an avid gamer, during his middle and HS years, how many parents didn't pay any attention to or discuss what their sons played or were exposed to.

Hillary Clinton once couldn’t even get a credit card in her own name. Yet some Gen Z women are being algorithm-fed β€œtradwife” fantasies without understanding the history. Women’s independence isn’t trauma. It’s evolution. #Pinks #Momsky

I think white left leaning voters in Maine and Texas and Pennsylvania, for example, are steering the party toward white supremacy. It’s borh gross and just an unsustainable emerging coalition for us. Its extremely troubling.

I can’t get the β€œrate it” button to be responsive. Do I need to change my settings?

Then I would agree. A political movement centered around white male grievance isn’t very left wing.

Few things are more humbling with ADHD than deciding to make yourself a nice breakfast when you have to be somewhere at a certain time.

The responses to this statement are proving very informative.

People seem to have experience that says otherwise. I mean, if you’re saying it’s not left wing to want big government services from a non-diverse authoritarian government, then I might agree.

You can also look at the responses I’ve received and who makes up those responses and decide if they might have experience that informs their opinions on the matter.

There is the Platner phenomenon. And I tend to synthesize information. I don’t necessarily have specific links to bring up. It’s a matter of paying attention and pattern recognition. It’s the unspoken β€œwhite” whenever the words β€œworking class” are spoken.

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say β€œSend me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

There is nothing that is good for Black women that isn't also good for everyone else. Talking to Black women voters is talking to all voters. The other voters need to look past their misogynoir.

People who’ve never been to a Black funeral, far less a Black politician and civil rights leader’s funeral, are showing their entire asses once again, down to deep in the crack.

Less than one week into a war with Iran, Trump spent more than 90 minutes at an event (with Marco Rubio by his side) talking at a roundtable about what ails college sports and how to fix it.

I’m talking more about the β€œno war but class war,” β€œno more identity politics” left.
