Muslims didn’t storm the Capitol on January 6, try to steal an election, or overthrow our government.
White Christian nationalists, racist militia groups, and rabid Trump supporters did.
We need to stop pretending the biggest terrorist threat to this country is coming from somewhere else.
This is for all Black voters in Michigan! A vote for Mike Roger over Dr. Abdul El-Sayed will GUARANTEE a right wing Supreme Court for the next 50 years. DO NOT leave that race blank. We MUST vote for Abdul al-Sayed. Share and repost!
Conspicuously absent from your list. These Dems are running for closely contested congressional seats too. In fact, El-Sayed is running one of the most impressive campaigns in the country WITH Obama's support. And yet 🦗 🦗. Gee,I wonder what these candidates have in common 🤔
Eight months later, Burn Down Master’s House is still on the BLK Best Sellers List! 🎉

Why can’t we have a decent life working 40-50 hours a week? As soon as you figure out a way to make a dollar more, they’re going to take it away from you.

We're losing our health care here in Maine so Susan Collins can give billionaires like Elon Musk more tax cuts. I support Medicare for All so people across the state have health care.
🔥 @katiephang.bsky.social (With Deniro behind her): “I’m suing A.G. Todd Blanche — Trump’s cosplaying personal lawyer — for the unredacted Epstein files… as an independent journo 🗣️ I don’t have a corporate oligarch telling me what to say… Trump has been violating federal law every day.”
Popo is a 5 month old boy who came to us yesterday after being mistreated on the street.
He is congenitally blind in 1 eye, very thin and afraid, he's got a long road ahead... but it's a much safer one.
Our medicine fund helps us to treat dogs like Popo:

Sorry? Not sorry. If you're upset and trying to prevent history from being taught to hide the truth, then fuck your feelings. You learned nothing and are the exact same assholes as your ancestors.
Here’s the thing. Rula was already very clear about how racist and offensive “monkey” is when used against Black men.
She knew exactly what that word meant. She knew exactly why it was unacceptable. Then she used it herself.
I'm going to KEEP talking about how Senator Rick Scott, the RICHEST man in all of Congress, DEFRAUDED Medicare & is trying to CUT Social Security.
Will you join me?🤚

Two Black mayors took cities that the country loves to write off and made them measurably safer. That’s not a fluke. That’s a blueprint.
Chicago and Baltimore just posted numbers that should be front-page news. They’re not. We need to talk about why.

Andy Beshear, the Governor of Kentucky, can be reached at (502) 564-2611. A very nice lady will answer, and will direct you to a voicemail line where you can leave your thoughts about Mitch McConnell. Make sure to call be 5 eastern.
We extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends, teammates, and loved ones of Nolan Xavier Wells. Too many Black men and boys are denied the opportunity to grow older, to fulfill their purpose.
May his legacy live on through all who knew and loved him ❤️
Question: What's keeping America from being as great as it could be?
Major Jason Watson: “Divisiveness.
The unwillingness to talk to each other.
Unwillingness to love our neighbors
Understand that we're all just human beings
We are all Americans
We have more in common than we do not”
I’ve spoken with Jason Watson. He knew exactly what this would cost him.
He gave up his military career to take a brave stand for democracy.
Patriotism that only works with obedience isn’t patriotism.
THIS IS WHAT IS CALLED FOR UNDER FASCISM — BRAVERY
Before the attacks & the hot takes start, a few facts:
Major Jason Watson is a graduate of the US Air Force Academy, a career logistics officer, a NATO officer, and a decorated veteran who volunteered for a 365-day tour in Afghanistan…

Last image from tonight (short film in the morning): this brother out here with his Singer sewing machine, gifting people a custom embroidery on their jerseys and hats with the name and the date, was more artistic than anything at Burning Man and ad gorgeous as a Caravaggio.
Magic!
Goodnight.
