Watch 's video on this.
The math of the mechanisms for elections don't math what the donor class, Dem elites, and others running their mouth are saying.
We can get these people in line. We need to make some calls!

Reposted from Claudia Sheinbaum, an environmental scientist and former mayor of Mexico City, was overwhelmingly elected Mexico’s first female president on Sunday, a historic milestone in a country rife with gender-based violence and misogyny.

With nearly 40% of the votes counted, Mexico’s electoral agency estimates that Sheinbaum is on track to win the race with between 58% to over 60% of votes. Her nearest rival, Xóchitl Gálvez is projected to get between 26% and 28% of the vote, with the other opposition candidate, Jorge Álvarez Máynez, between 9%-10% of the vote.

In her victory speech to supporters, Sheinbaum said both rivals had conceded and had called to congratulate her on her victory. “I will become the first woman president of Mexico”, she told the crowd.

The man widely seen as her political mentor, outgoing President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, posted his congratulations on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Sheinbaum has been the leading candidate to win the presidency for more than a year. In a country with one of the highest rates of murder against women in the world, Sheinbaum’s victory underscores the advances women have made in the political sphere.

The 61-year old climate scientist was part of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change team that would go on to share a Nobel Peace Prize with former U.S. Vice President Al Gore in 2007. Now, Sheinbaum — whose has grandparents who escaped the Holocaust — will hold the most powerful office in the country.

Despite the historic nature of Sheinbaum’s victory, many voters in Mexico see it less as a reflection of gender equality and more as a referendum on the last six years of López Obrador, colloquially known by his initials as AMLO.

He is one of the most divisive — and popular — figures in Mexican history: a folksy populist who has implemented social programs that have lifted millions of people out of poverty but who critics say has undermined democratic institutions while empowering the military.

Under Mexico’s constitution, presidents can only serve one six-year term.

My condolences to the Obamas. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Reposted from My mom Marian Robinson was my rock, always there for whatever I needed. She was the same steady backstop for our entire family, and we are heartbroken to share she passed away today. We wanted to offer some reflections on her remarkable life:

I had to fix it.
How irresponsible to repost this with nothing on it.
I have no idea how people who look like me are allowing themselves to be used this way.
He is an organized crime boss, but not as a marginalized person oppressed by this system.
As usual, he is exploiting people's ignorance.
The money you all attribute to him came from the Obama/BIDEN administration!
Gotta be a bot or a fake account.
Meta needs to be more responsible to leverage their tech to remove these accounts.
It's bad enough that the media keeps giving this man free publicity just like they did last time, and the Dems are not letting people know the truth of what they have done.
Once again, there is a binary choice. Rank choice voting and other solutions are solutions for future elections, not now. We will not have any more elections if that man gets in again. Learn from how other "democracies" have lost their form of government.


Reposted from Yall have gone crazy. Ur nuts af. I can’t pretend anymore.

I disagree with .
It's not about having no expectations. It's about not being attached to certain outcomes.
I notice that people are definitely wound up in their expectations of outcomes.
Humans will have expectations. It's the entitlement to upset that needs to be released in my view.
We are not robots. I wish we would stop desiring to be robots.
Pivot more, tantrum less.

Always a fool when one gives him anything.

She is my hands down favorite hip hop artist of this time... but some people have noticed. 🤩🤩🤩

It really is caste, to which Isabel Wilkerson points. All -isms are symptoms of caste born of pride.

representation is not liberation

we don’t need more muslim cops, more women bombing countries abroad, more people of color doing the work of a deeply corrupt government. we don’t need rainbow imperialism or a diversity equity inclusion in raytheon.

billionaires are billionaires regardless of color. war criminals are war criminals regardless of gender. imperialists are imperialists no matter what identity politics you use to make excuses for it.

do not feed into the ruling class’s use of identity politics. there is nothing progressive about people from marginalized groups doing the dirty work of empire.

stop telling yourself we will be free when we see X group represented in X oppressive position.

liberation comes from connection to community. it comes from a love for your people. it comes from realizing that collaboration with oppressive entities like the government holds nothing but more harm for us.

when we only talk about race and gender with a complete disregard for class analysis, we buy into these ideologies that cause us to justify the ruling class’s crimes against the people just because of idpol.

when education is not liberating, the dream of the oppressed is to become the oppressor. ~ paulo freire

Nice to see these two rocking the colors!
's been doing it since the 80s!

Some things I have been watching lately.
They seem like great sisters to me... a great depiction of how messy family can be and still be in relationship...
Wednesday reminds me of why I like the Addams family although this takes it to a contemporary take.
For me, both depict using one's power for Good and not selfish purposes.
Oh, and I agree with Walker on one thing, werewolves are nothing to mess with!

"Stand back and stand by" has a little different ring to it now, huh?

As talks about, what we're experiencing is not episodic. Please learn or unlearn what you need to, so you can help to effect a transformation of our society to being truly anti-racist. Our Bennetton ad notions of society aren't changing a thing.
If you value diversity and still think some people are beneath you or meant to be mules of what should be your labor, we still have a deep problem.
Unfortunately, some people are very comfortable with apartheid, especially when the lines are drawn on money.

It's canceled on the CW. I hope it gets picked up by an outlet with the resources to keep it going.
I am watching it on HBOMax though.

I have been saying this for a long time.
I hope it is a sign that major media is moving away from hype... Nah, they will never do that when the profit motive is so high, and the average consumer has no clue. 🤦🏽‍♀️🙄😞

Everyone needs to learn to keep this in check...
In an interview with on today, Bob Woodward quoted a note from Katharine Graham, Watergate era owner and publisher of The Washington Post, saying, "Beware of the demon pomposity".
Yep.... 💯🖖🏽

Still not a reason to feel that one is better than another.
Understanding that could inform better choices that don't perpetuate harm/abuse.

Give more than you take...
Simple human economy suggestion.


For those who don't know when enough is enough, when one exploits others to have it... How about then? 🤷🏽‍♀️

In a small example, in another venue I posted my frustration with people shortening my last name.
At my new training center, right after our initial conversation, the person (owner of the gym) who did my assessment used my whole name and apologized for not putting in the hyphen! He brought it up, I was consumed with prepping for a new exercise program! I love when I am reminded that humanity still resides!
Such honor... he called it "attention to detail". I call it honor, and I don't experience it often enough.
💥😍🥰💃🏾...

Not what you think....
A refreshing awareness...

Do you have one of these?!
I think everyone should!
I am encouraging everyone to get one...
Cut down the landfill!

Showtime has some interesting programming going on.
Too bad this great series promotes the idea that we first came here only when we were brought here for enslavement but, it's still good!
