LOL. All capitalism is “crony capitalism.” The “free market” naturally bends toward monopoly and corruption. Nice try tho.
Ron DeSantis explains why the GOP "screaming socialism" doesn't work anymore:
"Young people have a very positive view of socialism compared to capitalism. The question is, why is that? Some of it is the education in our universities. But I think a big part of that is, what they're comparing is not free enterprise versus socialism. What they're comparing is how government gets involved in business, and you have crony capitalism. The best kind of indirect supporters of socialism are some of these corporatist republicans who propagate these crony policies. The average person is seeing that and saying, 'Wait a minute, you're trying to bend the government to funnel benefits to this corporation or that industry. What about having a competitive market? ... Young people really aren't seeing that. They're seeing just a handful of companies that have an outsized influence on our economy and on our society"

1) Ayesha Curry wanted to be an actress prior to being married to Steph. She was in commercials as a kid, did an episode of Hannah Montana and appeared in other things as a child actress.
2) Hailee Stenfield is Josh Allen’s wife. She has a pretty graphic sex scene with Michael B. Jordan in Sinners and I heard not one peep or any pearl clutching (not that there should have been).
I find all the conversations about Ayesha Curry to be rooted in a weird sort of misogyny where people get mad at her because she won’t just sit down, shut up and have her entire existence wrapped up in her husband. How dare this woman actually try to find some sort of purpose that’s unrelated to her being a wife and mother?
Shame on her.
LeSean McCoy reacts to footage of Ayesha Curry kissing another man in a TV production, questioning why she would do that when she is married to one of the greatest basketball players of all time, Steph Curry.
Speaking alongside Emmanuel Acho, McCoy brings up Ayesha’s previous comments about wanting to feel desired and receive attention, arguing that the on screen kiss takes that desire for attention too far. Acho initially tries to clarify that it is acting, but the two go back and forth over whether the kiss actually happened.
McCoy admits he doesn’t like seeing it, especially as a Steph Curry fan, and says he believes the situation crosses a line.
By whose definition? Yall act like these categories are ordained straight from God. They aren’t. They vary based on time, place, and context.
No matter what “wave” mainstream American politics experiences, it’s always still waters and smooth sailing for the financial capitalists who run this country and world

To what extent can this “Blue Tsunami” and “Black Wave” be used to prepare for the inevitable fascist backlash to come? How do we take advantage of seemingly more favorable political conditions to organize and lay the groundwork for independent institutions? Do we even want to?

These are four books that I always recommend when the topic of the Transatlantic slave trade comes up. A lot of ignorant people feel comfortable speaking on African history despite never having read any books on the topic.

“The oldest known texts written by non-native populations in the Americas using a non-Latin script are the Arabic manuscripts composed by enslaved African Muslims in the 18th century.”

It was Valks fans the main ones pushing these negative narratives. Gabby shut that shit down. Real big dog I gotta salute
"We all we heard last year. We don't have no stars We don't have no talent. Yeah, right. We got good people. We got winners People who are ready to put their bodies on the floor to win a game They don't care about scoring They just want to play defense and rebound and just do whatever it takes and we just built a beautiful culture here"
