I think most of us predicted that Trumpâs decision to address the National Association of Black Journalists today would go badly but I admit I didnât have âsheâs only pretending to be Black!â on my bingo card.

For Republicans, identity is just a scam to get some undeserved benefit or advantage.
Unless the identity in question is whiteness or Christianity, of course.

Heâs an idiot. When Harris ran for statewide offices in CA, the media constantly referred to her as a Black woman candidate. It wasnât until she ran for president that I first heard about her mom and her South Asian heritage.

Itâs just another racist dogwhistle. A friend described the loneliness of being a Black person with relatively pale complexion in America. Youâre too Black to benefit from whiteness but youâre too pale to be embraced as really Black by some people in the community.

Yep; looks like heâs gotten burnt out and his wife/friends/colleagues will take over the channel.
As a more âfair complexionedâ Black person, I can confirm; I could never âpassâ as White, but growing up I still caught hell from self hating Black folks who were negatively impacted by colorism.

Interesting data in here. Tl;dr is that Texas would flip blue today with higher voter turnout. They have the lowest voter turnout in the country.

I mean, that map is why I keep harping on a voting rights executive order. Simply removing the usual barriers to voting that states like Texas keep throwing against democracy completely changes the game. And while the GOP would scream bloody murder, what reasonable person can possibly object to more eligible and registered voters voting?

What really stood out to me in that article was that in 2020, over 5 million registered voters in Texas didnât vote, and that almost 5 million eligible voters didnât even register. Thatâs 10 million people. I know getting all those people to vote is unrealistic, but the vote differential in Texas between Trump and Biden in 2020 was less than 700,000 votes. That state can absolutely be flipped.

Looks if they can get more than 1 million of those 10 million to vote, they likely will flip itâŠ
But yeah, the people thinking Texas can never be flipped were the same people saying the same about GA a few years back.

Automatic voter registration would sort that facet out. Eliminating voter suppression would kick in about 20-25% of that 10 million voters, or 2-2.5 million voters. Vote-by-mail could push that to 50%, or 5 million more votes.
That might not just flip Texas, but make it bluer than Oregon!
