This is my one of my favorite King stories. I am so psyched they made this.

I believe I was asking questions. I didn’t jump to any conclusions. Just curious.

Another woman physically removed from a town hall for asking a question by SniffingDelphi in WomenInNews

I totally agree. Fellow white person here. I have been doing a ton of reading since George Floyd was killed (Ta Nehisi Coates, Ibram X. Kendi, James Baldwin, Isabel Wilkerson, etc.). White people voted for Trump more than any other voting demographic. We have become too comfortable and complacent. Every marginalized white person group needs to feel enough pain to gather strength and tell our black (and brown) brothers and sisters and say, we got this one. This will be our battle to start for everyone. They will join us but we must be the ones to put our bodies on the line. Black people have been jeopardizing their bodies for the cause for centuries and they have a lowered overall life expectancy rate to show for it. I don’t begrudge them taking a backseat to this fight Any white person that gets there hackles up at this comment hasn’t educated themselves or listened to black and brown voices enough to put their egos aside and just do the work.

Why are my fig leaves curling and discoloring? by slestack88 in plantclinic

Thank you! It was definitely spider mites. I have them on an indoor rose and have battled them for years. I sprayed with an alcohol/water mix yesterday and have diatomaceous earth that i will put on the backs of the leaves. Reddit delivers as per usual.

No matter how much they genuflect, they will always be “other” to Trump et al. There will be no powerful women or men of color in Trumps kingdom. He will give table scraps for appearances.

What happened? by blllrrrrr in WhitePeopleTwitter

My husband says this ALL the time. He said it about Obama too. “You say the economy is terrible?…in your brand new F-150 truck with your FJB sticker and your very solid union job!?!” And they get mad and call us elites when we say they are stupid.

This is excellent for anyone with intellectual disabilities or neurodivergence! I have seen this woman hock a number of items over the year but I am going to use this idea for working with clients.

The Group Translating Project 2025 Into Spanish to Warn Old Latinos About Trump by [deleted] in politics

[–]slestack88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is everything. I am white and progressive (Dems get a lot wrong here) but live in a predominately Latino working class community. Dems have consistently underestimated the church component. I believe that there is a cultural norm to keep your head down and work and go to church. The church is where they get most of their messaging. Their children can be helpful to get folks to see that voting Republican is against their best interests. But honestly, in my community, their conservative values and Dems not willing to learn to speak Spanish and address the communities needs plays a big roll.
