The Heritage Foundation is a fascist antiblack organization.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Fuck you lady.

You clearly didn’t earn those titles and positions through work, research, and/or studies. Did they gave you those because you’re white? Do you know how to search the internet for factual information, or do you just coast through spreading your racists bullshit hoping it’ll stick?

Say yes to what feels right, even if it surprises you. This is the kind of day where one small decision could lead to something much bigger. Trust your instincts, they're sharper than you think.

The federal government is putting its full weight behind purging Black people from public life and the press and opposition party is silent as it does so.
“The Committee’s unfounded accusations, dependence on clearly compromised sources, and selective presentation of ‘evidence’ represent an unprecedented abuse of congressional power—designed not to find the truth, but to silence leadership that refuses to yield to political pressure.”

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

It’s hard to wrap my brain around how catastrophically bad things are going to get in the next few months.

People are out of money. People can’t pay their debts. Banks are broke because people aren’t able to pay their debts. No SNAP. The dollar store is locking everything up like Walgreens. A mess.

Those "donations" are bribes. I wish media outlets would stop pretending that they're anything but.
Earlier this year, Popular Information broke the news that Extremity Care – a company that sells bandages to Medicare – donated $5 million to Trump’s super PAC on February 24.

Six days later, Trump blasted a pending Biden rule that would have barred Medicare from covering Extremity Care’s products.
