@angrystaffer.bsky.social Will we hear from you tonight?

It's the Gulf of Mexico. Willful ignorance does not change this fact.

NPC NYC Sunday Service, March 23, 2025 Selections: Isaiah 55: 1-9, Matthew 21:45-46, and 22: 1-14 Thank you to Music Minister Tim for today's song, " Thank You For The Cross, Lord." MORE

Don’t fall for the okey-doke. Trump says he will issue a pardon to Pete Rose. What did Rose serve time for? Tax evasion. This has no effect on Rose’s ban from the Hall of Fame. President Musk and Trump the Caddy will still come for your social security. Stay awake, my friends.

Share this post far and wide! Thank you @pamkeithfl.bsky.social!

Today is Haitian Independence Day! Have a bowl of Soup Joumou, also known as the Freedom Bowl! Soup Joumou was a delicacy reserved only for slave owners. Once Haiti became independent, eating the soup became a symbol of celebration of the successful revolution against the French.

In today’s episode of “Elections Have Consequences,” the union representing NYC firefighters is upset that funding for treating illnesses caused by 9/11 is now removed from the federal funding bill. What’s worse is these guys KNEW who Trump was and voted for him! www.nydailynews.com/2024/12/22/n...

@joyannreid.bsky.social Do you think so-called MAGA's like Byron Donalds, Vernon Jones, Tim Scott and the like, have ever read "The Space Traders" by Derrick Bell? They are worse than Golightly!

I couldn't agree more! Say it louder for the people in the back!

American history will not suffer from whitewashing; we shall continue to #TeachTruth! Buckle up, everyone; we will get through the next four years! END

But don't think for a moment that people will stop speaking truth to power. We are not Jeff Bezos; we shall continue to speak out against anything the incoming administration does that hurts Americans. Start by reading Timothy Synder's book "On Tyranny." MORE

If you think you are immune from Project 2025's proposed policies, think again. If you believe tariffs won't affect you, think again. Trump doesn't give a damn about you; he never has. You fell for his lies, and you and your families will suffer. But this is what you voted for. MORE

Be careful what you vote for because you will get the country you deserve. Also, a number of you out there need to tell the truth. You did not vote for Trump because of economic issues. It is simple. You voted for someone who will "protect" your perceived white privilege. MORE

Don't be surprised when Americans do the America on Election Day. The uncomfortable truth is that America was built on the backs of Blacks and other non-white people. Add a heaping hunk of racism, misogyny, and White nationalism, and we can't be surprised at the election results. MORE

Thank you, Emmitt Smith. To the University of Florida: Isn't there just a hint of shame in shutting down the DEI office? We see you as you make millions off the bodies of Black and brown athletes, as well as other students of color, presenting research in the name of the university. #ReverseThisUF

The Supreme Court on Thursday will confront the critical question of Donald Trump’s eligibility to return to the White House. Oral argument will begin shortly after 10 a.m. Eastern time and is likely to last at least 90 minutes.

Nikki Haley was the governor of South Carolina and oversaw the removal of the Confederate battle flag from the roof of the statehouse. Yet, she keeps saying America is/was not a racist country. This means Haley is not a serious candidate. She knows better.

Here he goes again. Obama, Harris, now Haley. Trump (although he WON'T) needs to look in the mirror. Time to question Trump's eligibility. He LIED about his ancestry! www.history.com/news/donald-...

Welcome to our first post! Let's start with Nikki Haley's refusal to acknowledge that slavery was the main reason for the American Civil War. Could this have something to do with her answer?
