If Black lives — or all lives — truly matter, then the people of Sudan deserve protection from the horrors of genocide, says author Jennifer R. Farmer. Over the past two years, more than 150,000 people have died during the conflict in the region.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

A functional opposition party would have a wall to wall media blitz using Trump's own words to paint him as America's Marie Antoinette. They would explain/narrate the shutdown. (Eg the GOP healthcare hike will destroy your budget) And do effective sloganeering eg "America can't afford Donald Trump"

A Baltimore County school's AI called the cops on a Black teenager after mistaking his bag of Doritos for a handgun. This isn't a glitch. It's Big Tech's profit-driven experimentation on Black children's lives. Racism remixed for the digital age.
