I haven’t watched any cable since Monday night.
Been processing it.
Hadn’t even cried..
Until I saw this tweet come across my timeline.
CNN’s Victor Blackwell talking about Black women.
Please go to the video. It’s very powerful.

We voted 91% for the Vice President.
What was our most important issue?
Saving democracy.
THAT is when I cried. When I found out that the most important issue for Black women was to try and save democracy.
The complete irony of that, considering our history in this country will never be lost on me.
This picture broke me.
The Black woman, wrapped in American flag that she’s trying to fix.
She looks so tired, as she’s doing it.

During a simulcast with Steve Bannon’s War Room on Thursday, Jones announced that Infowars.com was offline after The Onion successfully won an auction for the site’s assets.
“Steve, Infowars has been taken down!” Jones exclaimed. “Infowars.com has been taken down! No court order, nothing.”

People talk about the Angry MAGA Winners.
Why are they so angry?
First of all, they thought that we would be sobbing out somewhere.
When Black folk looked at those results and went a collective….
” Aight…bet.”
It’s still unnerving them.
Then, there are those with MAGA relatives, who have said, ‘ We’re done’.
They are whining all over the internet about how the Democrats are ‘letting politics ruin relationships’
Then, they are really upset when folks look them dead in their faces and say
” I hope you get everything you voted for. ”
For those who are not White and who voted for Trump…
Imma say this…..
Those communities have only had to come to America and WORK…
They have never had to FIGHT for anything in this country…..
So, yeah…….
Good luck with that as the GOP attempts to repeal the 20th Century.
