President Biden at last night’s Gridiron dinner: “The big news this week is two candidates clinched their parties’ nomination for president. One candidate is too old, mentally unfit to be president: The other’s me.”
“You know he ain’t the same guy that I beat in 2020…But don’t tell him. He thinks he’s running against Barack Obama.”

Does Donald Trump’s former relationship with porn star Stormy Daniels actually play to his advantage with some voters?
“Basically, there is a manly vigor on display that Biden doesn’t have?” @kasie asks @finneyk. Watch her answer below. https://t.co/grZBK2pULM

I have been on Medical School MatchTok for a few days. Got me crying for people I don’t even know.
I sort of feel ashamed that until MatchTok, I had no idea of the insanity around Match Day for Doctors. The thought that you could go through four years of Medical School and STILL not become a doctor is crazy to me. But, it did make the overwhelming relief and joy in those videos make all the more sense.
This is some Whyte nonsense.

AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY (@AfricanArchives) posted at 9:35 AM on Fri, Mar 15, 2024:
Mexico abolished slavery in 1829. Enslaved people were escaping to Mexico. The U.S. tried to get Mexico to sign a fugitive slave treaty to return escapees but Mexico refused to sign such a treaty, insisting that enslaved people were free once they set foot on Mexican soil.
—Did you know that Juneteenth is also celebrated in a part of Mexico?
Nacimiento Mexico was once home to thousands who escaped slavery in the US. As many as 10,000 slaves followed a clandestine Southern Underground Railroad to Mexico.
—To date, many Black Mexicans from the Texas area retrace a portion of the same route their African American ancestors followed in 1850 when they escaped slavery.
—Descendants of slaves who escaped across the southern border observe Texas’s emancipation holiday with their own unique traditions in the village of Nacimiento.
—Slave hunters would patrol the southern border for escapees, led by the Texas Rangers but the Mexican army would be there waiting for them (the slave hunters) to turn them away.

I think this is true, and it’s Barack Obama’s lasting legacy. What we lived through with Bush, then watching the triumph of Obama winning the Presidency, transforming America, saving the economy, giving people healthcare.
In one short administration he showed us miracles happen.

Plus: Obergefell v. Hodges was less than a decade ago.
The ability for an entire generation of young people to grow up in a world where marriage equality was a given and they couldn’t be denied healthcare over pre-existing conditions is, to me, Obama’s greatest legacy.

Already reached the point where, even among mainstream outlets, saying he’s dangerous to democracy gets framed as liberal handwringing.
Even if it’s from the mouth of Trump’s running mate, cabinet officers, longtime lawyers or innumerable aides.
So say Trump’s too old instead.

Flip side are self proclaimed leftists who see all that Biden’s done and then tell us he’s no different or even worse than a Reagan era Republican. I’m thrilled what Biden’s done. By far the best President of my life not just for the country and world but for me personally.

A lot of Democrats are people who want to say things like “build the middle class, help families, make sure no kid is hungry, give everyone a fair chance” but then when Joe Biden did it they’re angry as hell that he “betrayed us and became a socialist.”
Just totally ridiculous.

So, the background.
Yesterday, a Black engineer with locs posted his official staff picture from NASA.
Other Black staff at NASA started posting their official staff pictures from NASA.
This is a reply from a parent of a young Black boy who wants to be an astronaut and has locs.
Representation matters.

I have to admit that I was just ho-humming this
…but now, it seems to have taken a turn towards the sinister. I mean, there’s nobody in media where Kate could do a two minute ‘ check in’ interview?
Just show that she’s alive. Proof of life, please.

The most chilling part for me is the ‘missing’ wife. It hints at two possibilities: either the system finally broke someone entirely, or she found a way to escape, even if it means disappearing. Both versions of that story are tragic, and uncomfortably believable!!
Then how is anything going to get done, if you won’t meet with the people actually interested in doing something?

Dear @nytimes,
Good morning. How are you? I’m just wondering why in today’s paper there’s no mention of Mike Pence, Donald Trump’s former veep (as you know), saying he won’t endorse Trump. Not on the front page. Not inside. Seems kinda big. Are you okay?
Sincerely,
