POLITICS AS CELEBRITY

I knew this crap was coming sooner or later. People are suffering & these mafuckas out here doing sorority photo shoots. Miss me w/ this bullshit. More of the same. Stop treating politics like its a damn elite club & path 2

Stop playing games w/people's lives & maybe then you wouldn't have so many people suffering. I'm going to file this bullshit next to Michelle Obama's $8,000 Versace dress & $4,000 Balenciaga boots. This shit is sickening.

Remember when Barack Obama 1st ran for president & Mrs. Obama was heralded as "The J. Crew" 1st Lady who shopped at Target was just like every other American? That bullshit was a lie. Balenciaga & Versace Michelle is who she always was, but she masked it 2 aid her husband's rise.
Now Kamala Harris, like Michelle Obama, out here w/a Marie Antoinette "let them eat cake" tone deafness while Americans are suffering, the Capitol is burning , a pandemic is raging, people are dying & a civil war is brewing, but Kamala skee-weeing on Vogue covers in pink & green-
like she back on the yard at Howard about to do her probate show. Meanwhile, the Obamas globetrotting w/billionaires, gotta half Bil Netflix deal & hv mansions in Chicago, DC & Marthas Vineyard. Nevermind how they got this entire life of wealth & celebrity was through politics &
off the backs of hard working black people (& whites). There is something very perverse about all this & we wonder why all these people turned 2 Trump. This is why Sen. Elizabeth Warren told a group of HBCU students that "Obama was more of a friend 2 Wall Street than Main Street"
So now the Obamas get a fairytale life while the people who supported them most got nothing but lectures. Put simply, Negroes are the shoes every1 else wears 2 a better life. That same phenomenon is now repeating itself w/Kamala Harris. She'll get Vogue covers while black people-
get police bullets & body bags. In America, our constant creation of celebrity serves the same function as the monarchy serves in Great Britain. We create a group of people to worship. It is almost as if celebrity functions as a type of anesthesia to the painful lives we live.
Politics is not the noble profession its practitioners claim it to be. It's an American Idol popularity contest masquerading as public service. It's the reason we have a reality show president, the reason a talk show host like Oprah can launch the Obamas to stardom & the reason-
we painted the Kennedys as Camelot. It's all celebrity worship AND IT'S KILLING THE FUCKING COUNTRY. Fuck Vogue and it's racist as history. It's troublesome for an American VP-elect to think its ok to be on such a magazine cover & I don't give shit if-

the photographer was black. Putting a black face on white supremacy ain't nothing new. People are suffering in this country & the last thing we need is a Vice fucking President searching for fashion cameras like Barry Obama searching 4 a fake ass glass of Flint water 2 drink.

We’ve been getting calls and outreach from Queens residents all day about this.

The community’s response? Outrage.


Amazon is a billion-dollar company. The idea that it will receive hundreds of millions of dollars in tax breaks at a time when our subway is crumbling and our communities need MORE investment, not less, is extremely concerning to residents here.

When we talk about bringing jobs to the community, we need to dig deep:
- Has the company promised to hire in the existing community?
- What’s the quality of jobs + how many are promised? Are these jobs low-wage or high wage? Are there benefits? Can people collectively bargain?

Displacement is not community development. Investing in luxury condos is not the same thing as investing in people and families.

Shuffling working class people out of a community does not improve their quality of life.

We need to focus on good healthcare, living wages, affordable rent. Corporations that offer none of those things should be met w/ skepticism.

It’s possible to establish economic partnerships w/ real opportunities for working families, instead of a race-to-the-bottom competition.
1/ Imagine that as soon as the referendum result the EU announced that it was looking forward to the end of free movement of UK citizens in the EU


2/ Imagine if the EU said finally all those retired Brits in the EU27 could go home

3/ Imagine if the EU said finally all those Brits in the EU could stop driving down wages, taking jobs and stop sending benefits back to the UK

4/ Imagine if the EU said it was looking to use UK citizens as “bargaining chips” to get a better trade deal

5/ Imagine if the EU told UK citizens in the EU27 that they could no longer rely on established legal rights and they would have to apply for a new status which they have to pay for for less rights
