  1. I'm thankful for what I have and wish for more. Twitter has over a half-billion microbloggers active monthly users after an estimated loss of 900,000 when the South African bought it. Threads by Meta's Mark Zuckerberg has reported 275 M monthly users as of November 3, 2024. After the 2024 Presidential election, many black people are using the platform to make plans for the next revolution. How the hell do you plan a revolution on a white-owned public platform that pays allegiance to white supremacists? Anyway, I wish AALBC was the premier microblogging site - Black people 44 Million strong in America; we still don't control or own a major communications platform. We must do better. @Troy Thank you for following your vision to create and maintain a place for us to call our digital home.
  2. Interesting read. Way back in 1970, racist Senator Strom Thurmond convinced Black and Jewish leaders in NYC, Chicago and Detroit to vote against abolishing the electoral college. Seems like Democrats have been cutting their own throats in one way or another for 50+ years and counting. That doesn't stop people from jumping aboard that party train. GAP Band.🤣😎
  3. 72,925,374 votes (48.1%) As of November 13, 2024, that is the number of votes cast for Madame Vice President Harris. That number of votes is more than Obama got in 2012, More than Trump won in 2016, and More than Hillary, who won the popular vote in 2016. Harris got less than Biden during the pandemic when absentee ballots were still allowed and counted in most swing states. VP Harris got that many votes in 107 days of campaigning, even with folks voting for third-party candidates, too! Nearly 73 million people understand Harris’s platform. White women, white men, and Latino men polled for voting for Donald in the swing states. None of Donald’s policies protect them, so maybe they believe he protects their “christian” values. Perhaps they think he will bring them a better economy. Only in America can a highly qualified, exemplary professional woman do nearly the impossible and still lose the job to a less-than-mediocre, unqualified white man who is also a felon. Oh, by the way, I read Donald is giving out reparations - TO WHITE PEOPLE!!! In his July video, Trump said:
  4. Not at all. Everybody I know who's been to Mexico come back. They use it as a vacation destination. Not a place to establish residency. The US can afford to lose several million people to other countries.😁 We wouldn't even notice if those states became vacated. Of course, Bernie Sanders would start yelling about his home state of Vermont. 😎
  5. Thank you @Mel Hopkins “The master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house,” —Audre Lorde Interestingly, shortly after Elon took over I was locked out of my Twitter account and have been prevented from going back in. @aalbc is still there but is inactive. I had sometime check. I can’t even look at my old account.

    Sorry Twin. Those two sentences aren't connected. They should be two paragraphs instead. Somehow that seems like a different type of error. As aside I often will check a couple of source before I post a response. Since I tend to focus on generalities instead of specifics. For example I had to look up the difference between kind and type. As I was looking for the answer. I came across a list that threw sort into the mix. I am still trying to remember the difference between type and kind.
  7. @Troy you're right I met a brother from Bed-Stuy Brooklyn who lives in Mexico. And another brother from the DR, he said Mexico is his favourite city. I have seen a lot less homeless and junkies in Mexico than I have seen in New York City, Boston or San Francisco. They also have some really large cultural centres. Even though there aren't any trash cans I rarely see trash in the street. Every park I have been to there are a few people picking up the trash, and one person washing the pavement. I have never seen thay in any of the US cities I mentioned. When you travel you eht to see a place for how it is not how it is perceived.

    No that project stalled. What I have found out is that amulets talisman are focal points for spells. You can create the spell without the prop.
