An equation can be solved and it’s logical. Throw in a human factor and it all goes sideways. History repeats itself because all the horse bros and meatheads think, and always have thought, reading was for the nerds.

"We have to take care of our law enforcement," says Trump, standing inside the building where law enforcement were brutally attacked by a mob of his supporters that he sent to the Capitol.

"No Other Land," the Palestinian-Israeli made film showing the destruction of the occupied West Bank's Masafer Yatta by Israeli soldiers, just won the Oscar for Best Documentary. It can't get a distributor in the US. Which tells you everything about censorship in the US.

In IL-04, ICE ambushed a parent while dropping off their child at school. No one should have to fear being torn apart in a safe place meant for learning. This is why I’ve introduced the Protecting Sensitive Locations Act—schools, hospitals, & places of worship are off-limits! Congress must act now.

We just watched Trump & Vance do Putin’s bidding in the Oval Office & it was horrific. Not even two months into this administration & it’s a disaster for the free world.

Angry/violent people aren’t just viewed as less intelligent. They’re also viewed as impotent. It’s a deep primate brain response that says “damn, that’s pathetic.” It’s why strongmen are reviled and end up decorating gas stations. This stuff is weak. Don’t let them tell you otherwise.

Many forget that before “The Birth of a Nation”, KKK membership was dwindling. But the movie depicted them positively and was even praised by President Wilson. Membership exploded. Endorsing and praising white supremacists and nazi sympathizers by the President today can lead us down the same road.

Commerce Secretary Lutnick is still out there claiming that he wants to replace income taxes with tariffs. My response: "The problem with that is that it's quite simply impossible." The only other problem is that it's also a bad idea. Let me explain.

Many Trump supporters won’t be moved by policy decisions/things getting worse due to seeing politics like college sports rivalries. The focus is almost more on your rival losing than you winning, and they’ll sacrifice for the feeling of winning even though they aren’t really on the team/benefiting.

A dictatorship that kills people from democracies if they say something inconvenient hosting another dictatorship that does the same and a country run by a wannabe dictator who wants people jailed for saying anything inconvenient gathered to decide the fate of a democracy that wasn’t even invited?

4 wks after FAA ordered an investigation into SpaceX’s safety practices, and 3 wks after the deadly DCA midair crash, Elon fired 100s of FAA safety experts. Now SpaceX employees—who specialize in rocket launches, not air traffic control—will staff the agency investigating him.

AFAM courses/books are directly targeted not only because they force folks to engage with the oppression/harm done by the U.S. (slavery, Jim Crow, etc.) but because you also learn how the African American fight for justice was a catalyst and is embedded in all other justice movements in U.S.

Why does a 38-year old U.S. Attorney in SDNY, who is also a die hard conservative, have more guts and integrity than the entirety of the GOP Senate Conference combined?! Shame on the shameless sycophants and enablers there, who can’t find the spine to stand up to common MAGA bullies.

Remember when France, Britain and Germany negotiated the fate of the Sudetenland without Czech input? Or, when Trump negotiated with the Taliban without Afghan government input? Sprinkle in Vietnam and Mid-East being left out many times. Negotiating w/o the directly affected involved ends poorly.

There’s no need to guess. JD Vance is ready to ignore the courts. Since 2022, Vance has explicitly said a second-term Trump should defy the courts — even the Supreme Court — if they stand in the way of him exercising executive authority how he deems fit.
