Why was my first internal question “is she black?”
To: Alter Kaker
Does she know how to pull fire alarms? That seems to be important.

Harry had better stay away from Meghan for a few days. She’s going to be more than a little upset.

Laphonza Romanique Butler began her career as a union organizer for nurses in Baltimore and Milwaukee, janitors in Philadelphia and hospital workers in New Haven, Connecticut. In 2009, she moved to California, organizing in home caregivers and nurses, and served as President of SEIU United Long Term Care Workers, SEIU Local 2015.
Butler was elected President of the California SEIU State Council in 2013. She undertook efforts to boost California's minimum wage and raise income taxes on the wealthiest Californians. As President of SEIU Local 2015, Butler endorsed Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Democratic presidential primary.
Butler joined SCRB Strategies as a partner in 2018. At SCRB, she played a central role in Kamala Harris' 2020 presidential campaign. Butler was known as a political ally of Harris since her first run for California Attorney General in 2010, when she helped Harris negotiate a shared SEIU endorsement in the race.

Isn’t that what Newsom promised?
To: Polyxene
Is Laphonza like Oprah? Alphonza and Orpah?
To: Alter Kaker
I knew that Gavin Newsom would make this pick, in fact I said it somewhere on FR recently. But he should have picked a Hispanic male because they’re the largest minority in California, if he’s playing identity politics.
To: Liz
That’s her Senate seat for as long as she wants it.

Newsom faced considerable pressure around the decision after first pledging to name a Black woman to the seat. Latinos have gotta be getting sick of this crap.
"Black black blackity black blackity blackity black black!" is all they ever hear from Democrats.

Meghan Markle is going to spit her English Tea out when she hears about this. She was hoping to use it as a stairstep eventually leading to the presidency. Yes. The Presidency!

. But he should have picked a Hispanic male because they’re the largest minority in California, if he’s playing identity politics.He already did. He appointed Alex Padilla to fill Harris' seat when she became VP.
