Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage
WTAF??? I can't really pledge to stop shopping at Walmart since I haven't gone in one in years for the many many other reasons we shouldn't shop there, but we need to let Walmart know our disgust.
🚨 I pledge to NEVER step foot in a Walmart again. If I cannot afford it or find it elsewhere, I do not need it. White people MUST take a stand. This openly hostile contempt for black people cannot be tolerated or dismissed. I am not waiting for a national strike - I am DONE. Who will join me?

I just can't with this country any more. The only goal of this administration seems to be tearing down anyone who isn't white and rich, and too many useful idiots are cheering it on every day.
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. ⬇️

There's no reason to worry about freedom of the press if you just starve it to death
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it.
They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.
Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.
He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

Heads-up. Share this everywhere. ICE has created a fake "Stop Ice" app. They're trying to ensnare people to enter their information, so they can go after them.
