In light of the winter weather across the country, I share with you one of my favorite Key and Peele sketches, "Black Ice." Be careful out there!

"Four diseases, all connected, now threaten the nation’s social and moral health: racism, poverty, environmental devastation, and the war economy—sanctified by the heresy of Christian nationalism. Since the 2016 presidential election, when white rage propelled a candidate endorsed by the Ku Klux Klan into the White House, racism has been more prominent in public life."

In response to this post

uses his speech to declare that there “are only two genders: male and female,” according to government policy. That has to be a first for an inaugural speech.

Trump declares that he will stop efforts to “socially engineer & into every aspect of public & private life” & will instead “forge a society that is colorblind & merit-based.” (Yeah, right)

Unreal, , after saying he wants to be a “peacemaker,” said he plans to rename the the “Gulf of America.”

Hillary Clinton burst out laughing when Trump said he would change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

"What that's going to do is it's going to take your tax dollars and distribute them to people of color, to black Americans, to women who want to work outside the home, people who want a handout, want something for nothing. And we, the good Americans who want to work for what we get, are being cheated."

The obscenely rich know just how to play us Americans. And to our shame, many of us are pliable players.

"Today, the guardrails have become so flimsy that blatant corruption barely makes the news. On Friday night, Trump launched a meme coin—a digital token with no real-world value whatsoever—and abruptly increased his net worth by tens of billions of dollars."

~ Brian Klaas

The level of corruption we're about to see as super-rich handlers control government will be astonishing and unprecedented.

"Every time the government, the federal government especially, is used to expand rights and opportunities for people who are not previously included, there's a backlash. ...

There's a backlash in which people who are trying to garner wealth and power simply say to voters, now, wait a minute here."

"It’s another industry undermining my people, targeting them with predation. Why do I think that? Because we arrived at this era by way of a law that’s been used to harm Black people and marginalized groups. Because Big Gambling resembles Big Tobacco in troubling ways. Because the industry must know that its efforts intersect with a culture, maybe the most influential culture in the Black community..."
