This is EXACTLY the kind of ad that Democrats need to be running. We can’t just tell people how corrupt Republicans in Congress are. We have to shove it in their faces. It seems like they are not necessarilyopposed to things being shoved in their faces, does it? #MAGABlowingYourTaxes

Make sense of this mess: We’re shunning skilled immigrants —while dumbing down schools by banning books & defunding education. And the grand plan for the workplace is a bro-club of white men hoarding power. So when does “greatness” kick in? Because all I’m seeing is regression wrapped in a flag.

the fact of the matter is some people do not want to see black people in media and we all need to ignore them and continue to make black art because at the end of the day, they were never going to buy or support it either way.

Kenyan schoolgirls tried to perform Echoes of War, a play about youth losing faith in their leaders. 🎭✊🏾 Police shut it down, detained their director, and fired tear gas. These girls were silenced for speaking up. A direct attack on freedom of speech and children’s rights. 😢⚖️ #HumanRights #Kenya
