As a Black person born during the Civil Rights era, this has been the case the entirety of my life. Mediocre white men who were mad the world was changing and they couldn't skate anymore. Went to school with boys who heard that from fathers at home then turned it on the few of us 1/

General Charles Q. Brown Jr., Faithfully and Honorably served the Constitution and The People of the US for 41-years in the USAF. His last posting was as the 21st Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was unjustly fired by the dangerously unqualified SECDEF. I proudly stand with Gen. Brown.

It’s really all too much. Which, of course, is purposeful, but the knowing it’s purposeful isn’t particularly protective at a nervous system level.

we cite the Nazis for crimes against humanity, but we forget that they were ‘inspired’ by America’s Jim Crow laws. ‘White’ crimes against Indigenous and Black humanity are copied by the worst people in the world, & this is what the right wing wants.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has returned $21 billion to people who were cheated by big banks and credit card companies. So why are Trump and Musk gutting an agency that's returning money to people who were scammed? For them, this has never been about cutting costs.

A telling data point… saw my first example of a fash-apologist tech CEO who couldn’t ignore the obvious bullshitting of the Musk crew lying about the fake “fraud” they’ve been finding (because there are still tech founders who know how basic spreadsheets work) and is starting to question DOGE.

History warns us. Sulla used military force to seize Rome. Now, Trump undermines NATO, cozies up to Russia, and may recall troops for domestic use. The warning signs are flashing—will we act before it’s too late to counter a lawless president? #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

There’s a reason Republicans aren’t holding town halls—they’re too scared to face their own voters. Even their base is fed up with Elon Musk and growing concerned about what Trump promised vs what he’s actually doing. Not one elected Republican has the spine to stand up!
