SCOTUS told him he could be a king.

Thinking about Jimmy Kimmel ... this comment seems spot on.
We want this outrage and unity for Black women too. My issue with this Kimmel thing is there are Black men and women who’ve been fired, silenced, put on leave for repeating comments straight outta racists mouths…and they aren’t millionaires who got their jobs back in 2 days.

It’s also straight up gullibility. I live in MAGA country farm world. They bought the idea that so many Americans were out of work that they would be swarming to get jobs working in the fields. Guess what? Not true.. This is what cult leaders do. Prey on those who are gullible.

That’s all well and good, but you can’t ‘but I voted for her’ and go around bashing democrats left and right because it negates all your other work. What you say doesn’t just affect your vote, but can influence others not to vote for Dems. The last thing we need right now. 👇 bsky.app/profile/maud...
Hey democrats, you know ‘democratic messaging’ doesn’t just include politicians, right? If you are constantly bashing democrats then the message YOU are sending is that democrats are bad.

At this point thrashing the leadership of the minority party after the voters neglected to give them the majority they needed, shows the cowardice of this future generation of voters
They want others to fight for them, while giving a pass to the voters who got us here

This resignation letter from one of the CDC leaders is important.
Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back.
"The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."

Trump: People were taken out of the spa, hired by Epstein… I told him we don’t want you taking our people, whether it’s spa or not spa. He did it again, I said out of here.
Reporter: Was one of the stolen people Virginia Giuffre?

Good words for this 4th of July. I think things will get darker; but our ancestors lived through some very dark times, and that's not a reason to give up. It's on us to find a path forward.
This Fourth of July, I am taking a moment to reflect. Things are hard right now. They are probably going to get worse before they get better.
But I love our country — and when you love something, you fight for it. Together, we will continue to fight for the ideals of our nation.
