This little girl had more courage than today’s entire Republican Congress and she probably had just learned to tie her shoelaces good. BTW until some of y’all display this level of courage, you might want to reconsider lecturing black folks about our political engagement or activism.

The fun thing about America having centuries of unbroken institutional legitimacy is that the President can publicly say "I am doing a coup, illegally, in order to break the law for my own benefit" and 95% of people on both sides will say, "Oh no, he's not, that'd be crazy."

Failson with no medical training who self-medicated with heroin thinks he’s qualified to revoke access to doctor-prescribed anti-depressants that have helped save the lives of millions of people with depression. As one of those people, go fuck yourself, Junior. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Quite a few of those "I regret voting for 47" videos are fake, they are just grifters hoping to go viral by hoping on a trend. Be careful which ones you share, pay attention to body language and facial expressions.

No, the president cannot eliminate a federal department unilaterally. If Congress created the department, it requires Congress to eliminate it. If Trump tries to eliminate the Department of Education by executive order, he will be SUED -- and he will LOSE.
