Open Thread | In Case You Haven’t Been Paying Attention

To what the Administration of 46 has been doing, here is a Twitter primer:

Truth: and this is going to hurt.

There are some of you who think that if Biden’s administration didn’t address your issue yet- that nothing has been done for black people.

The problem is you refuse to acknowledge black people that are not just like YOU.

— Sylvia K. Alston (@SylviaKAlston) January 26, 2021

You’re not talking about black folks who pay rent or own homes and are struggling to pay because of job loss or illness. Are you? https://t.co/hbx02PZrXb

— Sylvia K. Alston (@SylviaKAlston) January 26, 2021

You’re not talking about black folks who need racial equity in the healthcare system right?

Not those black folks either right? https://t.co/ZqavhVnBOW

— Sylvia K. Alston (@SylviaKAlston) January 26, 2021

I could go on. But my point?

This administration is 6 days old. I’m certain we will get our fair share of disappointment but the last 6 days have been glorious to watch a functioning government resume footing and address the needs of the nation.

— Sylvia K. Alston (@SylviaKAlston) January 26, 2021

Ooooh and today, another one!!! Addressing the private and for profit prison population? Wow. What poor leadership. (Rolls eyes and goes back to work.)https://t.co/CibFBPjcSx

And so it begins..

Omg! Obama was under so much pressure! Can’t imagine being the first black President here in the USA! Mitch McConnell saying I’m not gonna help your bills get passed. Blacks wanting him to act ASAP. Republicans looking to criticize him because he is black etc! So much man omg!

  I agree, but keep in mind that even though the Dems held 60 Senate seats early in Obama's term, an enormous complication was his dealings with Max Baucus, the Chair of the Senate Finance committee. Baucus withheld his vote until Obama agreed to deliver pork for Montana.

  It was really nice when Obama years were 100% scandal free and it was because his family stayed clean. This type of activity is at the least a huge distraction and most likely gonna be prohibited under new ethics rules. I’m not losing sleep and not gonna defend her.

  There's no speculation in the article but it really is amazing that it took one week of Trump being gone for the whataboutism and "fake news" calls to start. Trump can be a criminal and Meena can be a problem for ethics lawyers. Those aren't inconsistent positions

  Life is truly fleeting.. 44 is very young …important reminder that age isn’t ever really a factor when it comes to dying.. and who goes before..

In statehouses nationwide, Republicans who echoed Trump's baseless voter fraud claims are proposing to make it harder to vote next time.

State legislators have filed 106 bills to tighten election rules — triple the number at this time last year. https://t.co/dmY2y5HmsR

Our country is defined by a struggle to make its foundational moral witness more authentic by building a more perfect union that includes us all. That story and struggle cannot be told completely without reference to people of African descent. #BlackHistoryMonth2021 (1/5) pic.twitter.com/V4F8JjsHmd

Absolutely on point 👊👊

This is the message.

When you’re fighting a fire, you don’t try to use just the right amount of water. You put out the fire.

People’s lives are on fire. Apply relief until they aren’t. https://t.co/v8aYaA1IIl

Chats from a private Telegram group obtained by ProPublica show how a suspect tied to the Jan. 6 insurrection tried to organize a self-styled militia. The hidden proliferation of such groups worries experts. https://t.co/CDNI1X2u9o

The art of rewriting an entire narrative is rare – but #CicelyTyson did so. She infused film with the power of transfiguration, showing black women, marginalized women, underestimated women in their abundant glory. And the world will never be the same. God’s rest to you, madam.

"If McConnell was fooled, it’s because he wanted to be fooled."
Almost all the Republican and conservative enablers of Trump "wanted to be fooled." But if you want to be fooled, you're not really a fool. You're a co-conspirator.https://t.co/62fMPpA8a0
