"Real talk: Daniel Rubin has a great little piece up wherein he chats with The Field Negro, the Philly-based blogger who sharply ponders all things black on a daily basis. (Seriously, if you’ve never checked in with TFN, you should: Its author, Wayne Bennett, is a fantastic read who can cut through bullshit like a hot knife through butter, which is a far grosser analogy than I wanted to make, but there you have it.)"

"To white people, Bennett's musings are like kitchen-table talk from a kitchen they may otherwise never set foot in. To African Americans, he is part of a growing army of black Internet amateurs who have taken up the work once reserved for ministers and professional activists: the work of setting a black agenda, shaping black opinion and calling attention to the state of the nation's racial affairs."

"That's why I love the blog "Field Negro" so much. Field, as he's known to his fans, has the sense of reality that it takes to call out the (CowPuckey) of blame beating by those who are in positions of power and their lackeys. Because of his handle and his unabashed way of writing about racial issues, Field is often cited as a "Black blogger." What he is, however, is a first-class detector of blame deflection and an excellent student of history. If you want to write about the past and future of repression there's really no other perspective to take - which is why everyone should read Field."

"I had no idea, for example, of the extent of the African-American blogging world out there and its collective powers of dissemination.But now, after reading thousands of anguished, thoughtful comments posted on these blogs reflecting on issues of persistent racial discrimination in the nation's schools and courtrooms, what's clear to me is that there's a new, "virtual" civil rights movement out there on the Internet that can reach more people in a few hours than all the protest marches, sit-ins and boycotts of the 1950s and 60s put together."

Biden says border wall doesn't work as he allows new construction

Political blog reduced to “name that movie.” This must’ve been how Diggs felt when Chesnut hung him from the hotel’s balcony in that movie. (I don’t care if you name the movie.)
"Joe Biden pledged 'not another foot' of border wall. Now he's building it:"
Lies, as usual.
The money for a section of Trump's dumb border wall was appropriated in 2019, before Biden became president. Congress refused to change the law to allow the money to be reallocated to something that isn't pointless; therefore, the section of Trump's dumb border wall has to be built.
There's nothing Biden can do about it.
From Steve Benen:
“A Democratic House member is asking Palm Beach County, Florida, to tax former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property at the rate he claims it is worth amid his ongoing civil fraud trial in New York. In a letter provided exclusively to NBC News, Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., issued the request to Dorothy Jacks, Palm Beach County property appraiser.”

Mugged by Reality, Biden Builds a Border Wall Democrats Called 'Racist' | Opinion

LOL, MAGA morons are losing their minds now because Hillary Clinton trolled them by giving a speech saying they need to be “deprogrammed” like cult members.
This will spawn a million wingnut conspiracy theories about Democrats building Marxist-style re-education camps. Sleep with one eye open, Cletus! Hillary and her Gestapo (or maybe it’s Gazpacho, according to MTG) are coming in the dead of night to lock you up and force you to watch episodes of “The Handmaid’s Tale” and “RuPaul’s Drag Race.”

According to Lawrence O'Donnell drumpfuck the dumbfuck gave topo secret nukular sub info to Australian billionaire at Mar-a-Lago. He told the dude how many warheads the subs carried and how close to Russkies they could get without detection.

ps sounds like Israel is itching to get its butt kicked by Hezbollah in Lebanon all over again. War is on again in Middle East. Palestinians have had enough death and civilian casualties from bully Netanjehu.
"ps sounds like Israel is itching to get its butt kicked by Hezbollah in Lebanon all over again. War is on again in Middle East. Palestinians have had enough death and civilian casualties from bully Netanjehu."
Unfortunately, this will result in yet more death and destruction of Palestinians by bully Netanyahu, as well as legitimizing his rule.
Israel is heading down the road to dictatorship, and this conflict will only accelerate that process. I realize Palestinian Arabs are in a grim situation; however, I don't see a way they win through violence, since Israel will always be capable of carrying out far more violence against them.
The hypocrisy of peoples and countries condemning Hamas as terrorists and totally ignoring decades of Israeli slaughtering Palestinian men, women and children along the borders and inside Palestinian territories.
Israel is still stealing land and homes from Palestinians and turning them over to its own citizens to occupy the land and receive protection against retaliation.

Kind of an awkward time to have a few hundred military promotions held up...
I would pay good money to see Doug Jones kick Tommy Tuberville right in his nuts.
-Doug in Sugar Pine
No doubt Israel has been behaving like Nazis recently. But Hamas is a terrorist organization ever since its inception as the Muslim Brotherhood military wing during the 1988 Intifada. Sadly there was no other way for this to end. Let's hope it ends here one way or the other.
A lot of jew haters here. Racist.
Stand with Israel!!!
Way to go joe! He gives 6 billion to Iran and pays for a terrorist attack
Ugh. JFK Junior has announced he’s running as an independent presidential candidate.
I’m skeptical that he will actually pull that many more votes from Biden than Trump, or that many people will vote for him, period.
But still, fuck that guy.
As per usual, anymoose is full of shit and drumpfian lies. The 6 billion was never taxpayer funds. It belonged to South Korea for payment for oil purchased from Iran. The money was held up by our sanctions on Iran and said money was finally released to an account in Dohar and is still sitting there.
As for the attacks on Israel, they have been indiscriminately killing Palestinian men, women and children like forever. They have ignored numerous UN resolutions for decades with US help.
“Ugh. JFK Junior has announced he’s running as an independent presidential candidate.”
Should read “RFK Junior,” not “JFK Junior,” obvs.
JFK Junior is dead (and never would have done something as dumb as running in this election).
“As per usual, anymoose is full of shit and drumpfian lies. The 6 billion was never taxpayer funds. It belonged to South Korea for payment for oil purchased from Iran.”
Same nonsense they pulled with Obama. Somehow, “not stealing from Iran” becomes “giving American taxpayers’ money to Iran,” after you pass it through the English-to-Republican translator.
If it weren’t for lying, Republicans would have nothing to say at all.
Speaking of the awfulness of Republicans, remember how Nancy Mace was supposed to be the cool, sane Republican? That lasted about a millisecond. Now she has voted to get rid of Kevin McCarthy and is supporting his replacement with idiot Trump flunky Jim Jordan.
That whole political party is an unfunny joke.
Revenge of the Turds.
I believe Cornel Wilde is running as an Indie, as well. He was a greenie.
“I believe Cornel Wilde is running as an Indie, as well. He was a greenie.”
Yeah, same problem with Cornell West. This is ego, not altruism.
Under our first-past-the-post electoral system, running as an independent only makes you a spoiler who may undermine the democratic outcomes of elections. That’s all you’ll ever achieve. This wouldn’t happen if we used some alternative kind of proportional voting system, but we don’t.
It’s doubly irresponsible when one of the candidates running is an actual fascist. Imagine how hated Cornell West will be if he helps Trump get elected? Take Ralph Nader helping Bush get elected in 2000, and multiply by a billion. Arguing “… but, but, but Biden isn’t left-wing enough for me” won’t save him.
Fuck Christopher Columbus.

Cornel West. My bad.
Something Wicked This Way Comes
Well Mike you certainly have a one-sided way of looking at it. No doubt there's no defense for forcing Palestinians to tear down their own homes or pay for it to be done for them. Even worse when the reason Bibi hooked up with the extremists is to keep his ass out of jail. It would be nice if they could put aside their differences the way Jordan did after the 1967 war and Egypt after the 1973 war. Maybe they would have if Hamas didn't seize control of Gaza after Israel gave it up. You are severely misguided if you are rooting for Hamas to take over Israel and in the process gain control of its nuclear weapons.
Golan Heights belong to Syria. World Courts have decided, but, Israel refuses to acknowledge the court's orders. Palestinians have always gotten the shit end of the stick, especially from Israel. Palestine had its own state but that was taken away and given to Israel. I want both countries to exist in peace, but Palestine can't because Israel won't. That is where I stand.
“Palestine had its own state but that was taken away and given to Israel. I want both countries to exist in peace, but Palestine can't because Israel won't.”
Palestinians have never actually had their own state. They’ve lived under Arab caliphates, the Turks, the British, and now Israel.
Everyone seems to agree that Palestinians having their own state is probably the best chance for peace, but without Western nations forcing the Israeli government to give them one, it’ll never happen. And there doesn’t seem to be any political will in this direction, so it’s hard to see any solution.
The bloodshed appears to have no end date, and having to run a police state to keep a lid on Palestinian anger and violence is causing Israel’s democracy to implode.
Hahahaha, Trump says Forbes “attacked” him by acknowledging that his wealth is shrinking and he’s not on their Big Shot Rich Guy brag list anymore. This guy is so painfully cringeworthy. I will never understand how anyone could ever idolize him like his adoring followers apparently do.

Israel still occupies most of what was historically Palestine Territory, even though it was not officially a state or country.
After massive amounts of magat holds on military and presidential appointees, Fake Noize is blaming Biden for the lack of progress in filling slots.

All well and good but land for peace doesn't work with Hamas unless it is every inch of land so Israel is not about to make that mistake again. Hamas doesn't want an end to the apartheid state they want to be the apartheid state. You could say that Israel's foundatuon was largely by means of terrorism and hence illegitimate. You could say that about The Good Old USA and damn near every other place on earth. Hamas wants all or nothing and looks like this time one way or the orher that is what they are going to get.
Well, Cenk Uygur is apparently running for president. This is ridiculous and pointless, but at least he’s running in the Democratic primaries, not as an independent and thereby increasing the odds of a disastrous second Trump administration, like egostistical douchnozzles Cornel West and RFK Junior.
Cenk U's last run for office was an unmitigated failure. Of course, if he wanted to quit TYT I wouldn't mind mind plopping down right next to Anna.
“Cenk U's last run for office was an unmitigated failure.”
This one will be even more of an unmitigated failure. Even if, by some miracle, Cenk were to win, he couldn’t serve as president, according to the Constitution. He was born in Turkey.

The settlers and Hamas do have at least one agreement: to ethnic-cleanse each other.
