. In 1980, Rapper’s Delight by The Sugarhill Gang went mainstream proving hip-hop was here to stay. It was more than a song it was the birth of a movement. 🎤💥 #BlackHistory #HipHopOrigins #BHM #HipHop #Rap #FightThePower .

We need to call Trump and his enablers’ actions for what they are: illegal, stupid, and dangerous.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Donald Trump promised to let Elon Musk self-police his conflicts of interest. The result? Those investigating his companies have been fired. Cases against his companies have been dismissed. The corrupt self-dealing is staggering.

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

They want to purge federal workers. They want to gut the press. They want to crush dissent. They want to control the Post Office (Mail-In Ballots) They want loyalty tests and Non-Disclosure Agreements. This isn’t governing. It’s an Authoritarian Takeover!

. Canada defeats the USA 3-2 to win the #4Nations Championship. A little foreshadowing, perhaps? The US isn’t the hero of this story—we’re the villains. And #Canada just got their W early.

1. European and UK ministers are still talking as if their biggest potential security problem is a withdrawal of US support. But that is not their biggest potential security problem. It’s that, under Trump, the US will back Putin not just diplomatically but also militarily. 🧵

. Zelenskyy stood his ground in Kyiv as bombs fell. Trump hid in a bunker from protesters with cardboard signs. One is a real leader. The other is a coward in chief. Never forget the difference. #FuckTrump #Ukraine

"When [this or that happens], Republicans will turn on Trump!" "We'll control the House after the Mid-Terms!" Looking to the future for answers is a failure to understand the "𝗨𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗢𝗳 𝗡𝗼𝘄!" Democracy is being killed. By Trump. By the GOP. By silence. Fight now or there is no “𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲!”

. They’re throwing Nazi salutes in public, on camera, at political events—because they can. Because they are winning. Fascism doesn’t take power overnight. It creeps in while people shrug it off. Keep ignoring it, and one day, you’ll wake up in their America—and it won’t let you leave.
