You mean to tell me that a bunch of far right representatives heckled the previous President every chance they got BUT one senator moves to ask a question and he's thrown out of a conference, handcuffed, and now is being threatened with censure?

Rather than debate the transatlantic slave trade or enslavement, here are some resources to learn more about the experiences of trafficked folks from Black authors. www.patreon.com/posts/people...

While some folks are denying the transatlantic slave trade, these Black divers go to wreckages to honor the lives of those trafficked & those lost along the way. An estimated 12.5 million souls were trafficked on 10s of thousands of ships. 1.8 million died along the way. youtu.be/u2l_EugvRw8?...

For the sake of the community, some conversations cannot be held online. They need to be held on stoops, on porches, & on park benches. They need to be held in intentionally safe spaces, away from the gladiator matches & bad actors of the internet.

A reminder that Memorial Day is a Black holiday.“ The fact that the freed slaves’ Memorial Day tribute is not as well remembered is emblematic of the struggle that would follow, as African Americans’ fight to be fully recognized for their contributions to American society continues to this day.”

Be clear: this new bill will kill people. Whether it’s -kicking the most vulnerable off their healthcare -stressing the already strained US medical system -forcing rural care facilities to close Be clear, elected officials are willing to allow people to die to line the pockets of the rich.

Be clear: criminally charging an elected official for doing their duty is a bullying attempt to do nothing more than stoke fear. Rep LaMonica McIver, a member of Congress was doing her job. This administration can only bully, but it can’t stop the people’s work. Standing with Rep. McIver.

Stop telling Black people to ignore racism when combating it is one of the ways we have literally survived. Start asking why you are comfortable enough to tell people who have survived human trafficking, terrorism, & a legalized racial caste system to ignore the violence that persists against them

The reason this administration is trying to move so fast with unjust actions & harmful policy is because they know the truth: They only have so long to do these things. People have fought since DAY ONE. It’s only so long before 1 election wipes out any majority. They know. Keep going. It’s working.

I know how passionate some Bernie supporters are, but him completely dismissing that many of his supporters have been/are antiBlack & saying that those allegations were “the democratic establishment” spreading lies, while on a podcast that has also been antiBlack, is telling.
