It never fails, when some BIPOC commits some sort of crime, the entire group is punished. Of course we are referring to the President's response to the killing of the two National Guard members in DC by an Afghan immigrant. --- Follow Hood Politics: https://www.instagram.com/hoodpoliticspod/ Follow Prop: https://x.com/prophiphop https://www.instagram.com/prophiphop/ https://www.tiktok.com/@prophip...

Since our President has chosen to speak so ill about many of our US cities, specifically calling them hellscapes, I figured I would find people I know that are from there and live there and ask them "Is this in fact a hellscape?"

Marjorie Taylor Greene is beefing with the MAGA base and she's actually making statements I rock with. But just because I rock with what she's saying doesn't mean she can come to the cookout. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In what I truly thought was an AI image, the East Wing of the White House is being torn down. I wasn't sure if I cared or not. But the more I thought about it, the more it reminded me of the days of the innocent internet, you know, the debate over whether that dress what blue and black or white and gold. --- Follow Hood Politics: https://x.com/hoodpoliticspod https://www.instagram.com/hoodpolitics...

I finally got around to listening to the Ezra Klein, Ta-Nehisi Coates discussion. In that discussion, Coates was able to put in to words the way I felt after hearing about the young Republicans group chat. He said "It's not that you know what Donald Trump is going to do. It's that you don't underestimate what you are up against." --- Follow Hood Politics: https://x.com/hoodpoliticspod https://www....
