Happy Fry-Day, Everyone!
I wasn’t able to make the Michelle Obama book tour/interview at the Xcel Energy in St. Paul Wednesday night. I’ve been laying low and recovering from a health issue.
AnyHOO, I’ve been lurking and hoping I could get a few pics and videos to capture some of that BLACK GIRL MAGIC.
Here tis….
In St. Paul, Michelle Obama talks about life, learning and that famous fist bump
“I think this is the biggest crowd we’ve had,” the former First Lady said as she stood on a stage with blue lights running up and down the sides.
“I love you,” one of the 16,000 people in the sold-out audience shouted, to which Obama replied, “I love you, too, Babe.”

Candace Owens Was Named in the New Zealand Shooter’s Alleged Manifesto. But Christchurch Is Bigger Than Her
Anne Branigin
Today 11:00am
Every time I write about Candace Owens, I feel manipulated.
I feel manipulated because Candace Owens, on her own, is not newsworthy. She’s not witty or particularly charismatic. She’s billed as a commentator and activist, but to describe her grasp on politics, history, gender, or race as shallow would be doing a great disservice to the word, because shallow still has depth. Activism implies, well, activity, or purpose. Activists tend to have a moral center—however questionable or controversial.
Owens has never successfully articulated such a moral center, and her leap from running an anti-Trump site in 2016 to grabbing Kanye West’s “free thinker” coattails in 2018 implies one doesn’t exist.
Owens’ only gift is grift, and she’s been exceptional at it in a way that says far more about conservative white people’s grievances than it says about her. Her currency is outrage, and her endgame is attention.
………………
But I’m writing about Owens because she’s the troll a mass shooter in Christchurch, New Zealand named in his alleged manifesto. The shooter, whose name has not been released by police as of Friday morning, opened fire on two mosques, killing at least 49 people in what can rightfully be described as a terrorist attack.
“The person that has influenced me above all was Candace Owens,” the suspect wrote. “Each time she spoke I was stunned by her insights and her own views helped push me further and further into the belief of violence over meekness. Though I will have to disavow some of her beliefs, the extreme actions she calls for are too much, even for my tastes.”

1/ No @realDonaldTrump 49 people did not “die senselessly.” They were massacred by a right wing racist terrorist inspired by people you amplify and refuse to condemn. They were slaughtered Bc they were Muslim: the kind of folks you would like to ban from the US

It’s how these mo-fuckers frame a murder/killing,” die senselessly,” as if the victims died through osmosis or some such.
These people were worshiping in the church/Mosques and were MURDERED, BLOWN TO SMITHEREENS by hateful racists, bigoted white men.
