When we say ā€œwomen,ā€ please clarify that this means *straight cis white women*.

Gay/trans women / women of color have smelled the GOP mess for decades and theyā€™ve voted in suit. If itā€™s somehow new to straight cis white women, thatā€™s part of the problem.

newsweek.com/republicans-juā€¦ White women have voted essentially 50-50 Republican/Democrat in presidential races since 1952. Only the 1964 Johnson/Goldwater race is a substantial outlier. 52% voted for Trump in 2016ā€”against an outrageously qualified white woman. Thatā€™s just in line with long term trends.

#CrazyRichAsians is headed for a monster opening, and itā€™s essential to look at why. A full 38% of viewers so far have been Asianā€”weā€™re COMING OUT for this film as we never have in cinematic history.

But another 24% of viewers are black or Hispanic: *viewers are 62% nonwhite*. The book #CrazyRichAsians was based on was a NYT bestseller. When the target for the book is described by folks in publishing, they say ā€œwhite female, summer read, book club, 35-54.ā€ That audience isnā€™t whoā€™s filling theatersā€”yet.

Theyā€™re the ones who might take this to $100M.

Twitter fam: Please share with me your fave black woman candidates. Iā€™m going to try to give to all of them. I hope you do too.

When we see Jones beat Moore because *97% of black women* brave all-day lines to vote for him, weā€™re looking at the future of the Democratic Party. Okay letā€™s get this GOING! Connie Johnson, DONATED. Join me, folks!

Puerto Rico is home to 3.5m AMERICANSā€”90% of whom have no electricity, clean water or secure food! Itā€™s the size of Connecticut, but brown! Any human with a soul can see this is poised to become a humanitarian disaster of epic proportions due to your lack of empathy & leadership

1. No oneā€˜s saying it but while #BladeRunner2049 is beautiful, interesting & richly realized, the reasons it is failing are abundantly clear 2. First, itā€™s hugely self-indulgent. As an iconic white male director, Ridley Scottā€˜s convinced his work is CANONICAL for todayā€™s audiences
