Disabled Mil Retiree, politically aware & pissed off realizing that America really hates Blk folks & refuses diversity, equity & inclusion even though it helps us ALL!
Robert’s is supposed to be this brilliant legal mind, so doesn’t he realize that after DJT is handed total power, there will no longer be a need for “shadow dockets” or the members of SCOTUS😳😳. I doubt the 9 will just be allowed to go home, jailed for SOMETHING seems more likely. 🤔
The conspiracy by this Court to replace our founding charter with dictatorship isn’t funny, but:

“Every time Trump makes a shadow docket appeal he might as well shout ‘By the power of Greyskull!’, because he’s about to transform from a feeble man who can’t grip a glass with one hand into HE-Man.”
The Supreme Court's use and abuse of the Shadow Docket is *how* Chief Justice John Roberts legitimizes Donald Trump's authoritarian takeover of the government.

The Trump administration has erased the history of slavery, the women’s suffrage movement, and the civil rights movement from new commemorative coins.

They rejected bipartisan recommendations to feature Frederick Douglass and Ruby Bridges and instead will feature white men, including Trump.

Is the hatred of black people so all consuming that you’ve chosen a man with no intellect, grace, empathy, sympathy, care, concern etc… for his fellow man, not to mention the citizens in the country of who he is the president of.😳😳🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

So Pete is changing the culture of the military so much w/ his overt racism, finding ways to discharge or drive blk service members to retirement & now MP’s are roughing up retired officers & WHY these blk MP’s are just standing & allowing this is the worse part.
Jolly_Good_Ginger on Instagram: "This is unacceptable and these patrols are NOT allowed to put their hands on people like this. wtf is happening to our military under Hegseth????"
A disturbing video shows a retired Marine captain being brutally beaten by a courtesy patrol in Okinawa, Japan. The incident highlights the need for accountability within the military. Watch the video...

“Cut off your nose, to spite your face” is the consistent result.

This is why whites get so furious to see black ppl living well; nice cars, homes, travel etc.., & are convinced it’s because of criminality instead of hard work. If their identity wasn’t only abt whiteness it wldn’t be an issue
This explains a lot!

Almost every day I learn about something that was designed, or allowed to happen to black people in America due to racism & white supremacy. This racist perception perpetuated by white medical professionals that “blk ppl are different when it comes to medical care needs”

These women were highly educated & probably over qualified for their jobs, & they are either going to be replaced by the less qualified, as long as they are white, or no one will replace them, either way, vital tax paid services & agencies will suffer. Racism & white supremacy hurts EVERYONE!!

Trump has removed President Biden’s portrait at the White House and replaced it with a portrait of an autopen.

Trump is a petty, jealous, childish, and hateful person.

I’m sharing a portrait of President Biden as a sign of respect and support.

Trump has just removed a memorial to Black soldiers from a US military cemetery. But no matter what he does to try to erase them, Black soldiers have fought for this country — from the First Rhode Island Regiment in 1778 to the Tuskegee Airmen of World War II to the service members of today.

My expression has always been;
“we know how to be poor, & still make it”. We’ve gone through so much, as a people at the hands of, laws of, whims of, & lies of, but what did Maya say, “and still I rise”!

During the election, after the “Pet lie”, I watched a report on how much these immigrants there on the “humanitarian parole prog.” HELPED the economy. You saw whites, complaining abt THEM WORKING & making a life for themselves. If they were taking JOBS, then WHY aren’t the jobs filled now? Exactly

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net
