Obama: "They never miss a chance to scapegoat minorities and blame DEI for every problem under the sun. You got a flat tire? Must be DEI. Your wife kicked you out? DEI. Who knew?"

25 years ago today, “American Skin (41 Shots)” debuted in Atlanta — towards the end of the Reunion Tour — in response to the tragic killing of Amadou Diallo. It has since been performed in dedication to other victims of brutality, including Trayvon Martin and George Floyd.

This Pride month, don’t forget about the trans and gnc activists who made this happen. People like Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P Johnson, whose leadership at Stonewall has now been stricken from all government websites by a Trump administration that wants us erased from history.

Say it loudly: Trans rights are human rights.

This #TransDayOfVisibility, we must be vocal about our support for the transgender and nonbinary community. Let’s continue to fight for a world where everyone can live authentically, free from hate and discrimination.

Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, let’s steal some of their policies.

In Denmark:

- Health care and college are free.  

- The starting wage is $22/hr.

- Paid parental leave is 1 year.

- Paid vacation is 6 weeks.  

- All workers get pensions.

Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws

Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds.

Gov Mills: See you in court

This is extraordinarily dangerous. Tomorrow, the legacy media will ask Republican officials about this. Those officials will lie and obfuscate. And the legacy media will move on.

That is part of the crisis we face.

This U.S. Sovereign Wealth Fund business has major senior citizens telling the youth that anyone can be financial stable if they invest their money right vibes. Sir, I have $37.89 in my account until next pay day.

Let’s not let our abuser separate us from our family and friends. That’s a strategic move.

Normally, a POTUS would shut their mouth, let the FAA and NTSB come to a determination, and allow the professionals to do their job.

This guy has set a historical all time record of failing up, and we are all paying the price for it.

He just can't help himself. He is who he is. A raging asshole.
Reporter: You blamed the diversity elements but then told us you weren’t sure that the controllers made any mistakes.

Trump: It’s all under investigation.

Reporter: That’s why I’m trying to figure out how you can come to the conclusion right now that diversity had something to do with this crash.
