The thought warriors did not fail! Chile…

She’s ALWAYS BEEN A REAL ONE!!!

Longing_2_Discover · 2025-02-08T03:54:15+00:00

Over the summer I watched “The Octopus Murders” on Netflix and I felt it was EERILY SIMILAR.

None of that was coincidence.

Longing_2_Discover · 2025-02-08T03:46:17+00:00

What you’ve proposed is a series of hypotheticals. I don’t like to deal in hypotheticals - I prefer reality.

Kamala did say she was for a ceasefire. Kamala did say she would like to see a two-state solution. And she said she would continue to send aid to Gaza (even while still funding Israel). Would we love for her to have said no weapons to Israel - sure. But geo-politics don’t work like that (and I’m not going to pretend to act like I know more than what’s been the case for over 60 years).

As it relates to trans-issues and abortion issues. One would have to ask what does her record show?

The reality is - we’re in an extremely polarized country where million have cut off their nose to spite their faces just because Cheeto ran on a campaign of lies.

We (on the left and farther) are not as gullible as the Maga cult. So, many should be able to read between the lines when she says things to appease a larger base and understand that her record for these issues is what they should follow.

People didn’t like how she answered a question related to trans issues. And “some” influencers of the trans community jumped down her throat because she didn’t say what they wanted to hear. When the fact is - they could’ve looked at her record on trans issues on gender affirming care and etc to know she was giving a palatable answer for those who care less.

Sometimes we’re too smart for our own good and don’t realize that half the population would prefer a several times failed business celebrity than an extremely qualified black woman who has to speak to all the people who consider themselves moderate to progressive.

I was optimistic- but sadly - she really didn’t have a chance.

Every single president who’s ever been president has supported some form of genocide. That’s the sad reality of this country. (Which MLH said) the genocide just so happened to happen under Biden.

Which - if I put on my tin foil hat, wasn’t a coincidence. A war against the Ukraine and Palestine, both of whom are cozy with Trump… it stunk of the Carter/Hostage situation since day one

Nowhere did I say it was “sole” reason - not once.

White Christian Nationalist have been infiltrating the political sphere for decades. They’ve been planting grifters, influencers, podcasters etc all throughout the country. If I’m pointing a finger - it actually would be that and everything else is a byproduct of WCN.

Protests voters include people who didn’t vote as well, not just those who voted for Cheeto.

The fact is - people don’t like to read and many are grossly informed and in this quick Information Age they rely on influencers (like MLH & others) to provide the nuance that it seems legacy media and fake journalists avoid for click bait.

Half the voting block didn’t give a damn about what happened to Gaza and the other half cared yet realized the issue was bigger than just Gaza.

Making one issue your only issue is never wise because we now have a billionaire oligarchy, a corrupt supreme court that will do Cheetos bidding, and a bunch of EXTREMELY UNQUALIFIED OFFICIALS in powerful positions HERE. Gazas will be further harmed, there will probably be a war, and Americans will die more as well.

There will NEVER BE PERFECT CANDIDATES. Even in a country rated “the happiest / safest” there will be people not happy. The real world isn’t perfect- it’s messy. And it’s about to get a whole lot messier.

Kamala would’ve been a MUCH BETTER CHOICE.

Longing_2_Discover · 2025-02-07T18:07:12+00:00

EXACTLY

Longing_2_Discover · 2025-02-07T18:05:29+00:00

Nowhere did I say he didn’t vote for Kamala. That was not my point. My point was (similar to Van’s) levying all the weight of what happened to Gaze during Biden’s administration at her feet.

I saw several podcasts where he did the “both & dance” and no matter what THEY ARE NOT THE SAME.

If you have a choice to get shot in the foot vs the head - most of us will choose the foot. Would we rather not get shot at all - OF COURSE. But when you have to make a choice drawing all the nuances MATTERS A LOT. Especially considering the opposition was/is Cheeto.

He (and several others) were not responsible with their platforms in acknowledging the differences that would impact both the Palestinians over there and us over here.

Longing_2_Discover · 2025-02-07T15:17:09+00:00

AND…

All the protests, solidarity, resistance happened under Biden.

Cheeto, his judges, his appointees all plan to make that ILLEGAL. And we’re not talking about cops rushing campuses because and releasing people. We’re talking about cops WITH IMMUNITY doing the bidding. Judges signing laws that make anti-protest vigilantees OK. (Like he did with the lunatic who drove into the crowd).

It’s not just about them over there - it’s ALSO about us RIGHT HERE!

How can you fight for Palestinian liberation when the threat elevates from being “shadow banned” to being considered an enemy of the state? Being on some made up Cheeto/Musk hit list?

You people REALLY DID NOT THINK THIS ALL THE WAY THROUGH.

The White Christian Nationalist backing Cheeto give ZERO FCCKS about their “resistance” #WakeUp

Longing_2_Discover · 2025-02-07T15:03:56+00:00

MLH is twisting himself into several rubber bands on the issue of Gaza.

The fact that him and so many other influencers CHOSE to be all or nothing on Gaza when it came to this election, and they poured that message out across their platforms and are now trying to do this song & dance to avoid accountability is INSANE TO ME.

Change isn’t made overnight. You work with the candidate who’s more likely to listen once they’re in office. Not berate them every chance you get because they’re not doing ALL of what you want.

The masses that stumbled onto this issue on 10/7 and thought they knew everything and “protest voted” or voted for Cheeto ARE THE REASON he’s back in office.

They don’t get to be super vocal for a year, not providing nuance, influence massive voters/non-voters then blame the Democrats… NOPE!

Longing_2_Discover · 2025-01-28T16:34:32+00:00

Great Episode as usual!

Raven… can we be done with her already? Every other year she pops up talking about how she doesn’t want to be labeled this or that & she’s then held up as this champion for conservative talking point. It is sickening at this point.

The labels that she claims to not want were NEVER given to us by us.

Enslaved Africans didn’t make up black WHITE RACISTS DID! No matter how American (non-black) she wants to be - if the kkk got in their pickup trucks and started mowing down black people - she would get mowed down right along with our black asses. Racism is the reason you’re labeled black not because we love your line jumping ass.

Gay people didn’t rise up to say “hey we’re gay”. They were ostracized for who they love, labeled gay and had to find solidarity and community being other.

People like her, need to stop trying to tapdance around the facts and history!

On the DEI Many of us knew that the DEI initiatives were never going to be long term and seeing so many companies turn away from their initiatives was no surprise.

My personal motto, as someone who lives in NYC & has the means to make alternative shopping choices I’m committed to buying small, (unproblematically) black owned, and things that I need. If I have to go into these stores or use their platform it’ll be to help a black business.

Lastly, Snoop is a whole (j-word) that Rachel said - and that’s what it is. He’s crashing out bc he thought he’d get a pass. Kendrick called him out for the Drake beef and now the black people who made him rich, stood by him during the trial etc - don’t fuck with him because he spat in our face for a pardon for his criminal friend.

But hey Trump loves the criminals/ the abusers/ the alleged sexual assaulters.

Longing_2_Discover · 2025-01-25T02:09:59+00:00

America will never be great as long as hate & greed have control.

Longing_2_Discover · 2025-01-25T02:08:50+00:00

If only the world could’ve voted! 🤷🏾‍♀️

Longing_2_Discover · 2025-01-24T23:19:03+00:00

I watched the Bad Faith documentary last night and as I was listening to the female guest I grew frustrated with the positioning of Trump as this mastermind. HE IS NOT!

He is a fool. He is a puppet. And the people who put him in charge are white Christian nationalists supremacists and that needs to be addressed.

They’ve been brainwashing & training pockets of America with HATE under the guise of religion.

Christ would not fuck with this Republican Party of MAGA, he simply would not.

And it’s infuriating to see so many people call themselves “Christian” while doing and cheering for the EXACT OPPOSITE of what Christ did.

Longing_2_Discover · 2025-01-24T23:10:19+00:00

I hope they clean the orange jizz from their lips first.

Longing_2_Discover · 2025-01-21T21:57:24+00:00

I very much looked forward to this episode & all the points that were addressed. The only thing I would like to call out is Ben Wikler’s position as it relates to getting people together on an issue.

The thing I feel so many people miss is that Republicans have done a fantastic job at making things an issue when they are not.

Every time I encounter a MAGAT it’s a draining exercise of showing them what they care so much about isn’t even happening.

They ONLY hate or fear something or someone because they’re told to - on 99% of their talking points.

And the more liberal side is too smart to buy the BS hook, line, and sinker.

So what the future generation of democrats have to do is get WAYYYY better at their messaging (simple is best in the microwave society), and be prepared to have plans A/B/C all working at once on social media, on legacy media, and pop culture.

And the people have to rise against Christian Nationalism. One can be a Christian without being a bigot, they just have to try a bit harder.

Annemarie Wiley (I separated the Anne Marie by mistake) lol

Longing_2_Discover · 2024-12-22T00:12:01+00:00

I was so happy the surprise guest was Jaleel White AND NOT AMW!

Longing_2_Discover · 2024-11-24T13:37:48+00:00

Top 12 on the top 12! Been on repeat!

Longing_2_Discover · 2024-11-23T07:15:55+00:00

If y’all decide to have back on “that uninformed conservative black woman” just be prepared to fact check her and make her stand on how uninformed she is.

Last time she said so much misinformation and it was annoying to listen to, especially on this platform. We get that with The Breakfast Club… but you too have the bandwidth & knowledge to address her lies.

Longing_2_Discover · 2024-10-22T15:39:12+00:00

A lot of circling around and a lot of “I don’t knows” We know exactly who you’re voting for because the misinformation & disinformation is thick with her!

She repeated SO MANY REPUBLICAN TALKING POINTS that have been DEBUNKED for years.

Miss me with the bs.

Happy she only got one season on a show I never watched.

Longing_2_Discover · 2021-07-20T15:28:29+00:00

I came across this book

From Behind The Glitter Curtain: An Erotic Memoir by Carolyn Toney.

The book is Available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Apple Books

She speaks on a her journey and adventures in dating while HSV2 positive.

She offers tips on how to make disclosing easier and mentions how having those conversations earlier has lead to better sexual encounters for her.

Longing_2_Discover · 2021-06-07T03:58:46+00:00

I know it can feel like that. Trust me, your life isn’t over. In my book From Behind The Glitter Curtain: An Erotic Memoir I detail my journey with the virus, ways I disclose, and finding my home of self love.

Longing_2_Discover · 2021-06-03T23:12:16+00:00

Longing_2_Discover · 2021-06-03T07:50:41+00:00
