Why does everyone keep insisting that Putin lied to Trump, and not that Trump is lying to the public about what he and Putin agree to?

As Coates said, if Obama could be president, the only consolation for them was to decide that *anyone* could be president. It must have made them sick every day for 8 years
Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...

And, perhaps most importantly, people grasped that if the video didn’t exist and instead King had told everyone what happened, nobody would’ve believed him.
It certainly wasn’t news to everybody, of course. But it was news to a lot of people.

People had been telling stories about things like that happening forever and it was always dismissed as hyperbole or worse and then, suddenly, people had to confront the reality that, yes, shit like that happened. There it was.

The Rodney King video is one of the most important moments in American history because it showed people, particularly comfortable white people, irrefutable evidence that marginalized people’s stories of how police behaved - which were never believed - were in fact true.
Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

Cause again, what everyone is really activated by, is white people getting the splash affects of state-sponsored antiblackness. Not the antiblackness itself.

And I'm talking about antiblackness because the president just made a speech last week explicitly calling for the removal and extermination of Black immigrants, full on full frontal racism
And y'all still talking bout thess white folks. Bet you didn't even know that speech happened.

But what folks don't realize, is that an antiblack society is a society built around death. Slaughter and necromancy ass settler colony. The violence is *never* limited to only Black people, and by not opposing Black death, you give you ok for ALL manner of life to be obliterated by this society.

Every single thing that Trump is doing to help rig the election has been happening since before he even had his first term. Trying to steal elections is not a new concept for Black communities.

I think about Philando Castille often. He did everything right, he was driving with his family, he was a good man who did food nutrition work for schools. It was a clear cut racist stop and use of his owning of a firearm as a posthoc justification to murder him, and the NRA said nothing about it.
ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

Over several decades, the WHO has played a huge role in bringing countries together to reduce death and disease at an unprecedented scale.
It is by no means a perfect organization, but we can only improve it by continuing to participate. Withdrawal is reckless and makes us all more vulnerable.

The United States has officially withdrawn from the World Health Organization.
This is a shameful move that puts both Americans and people all over the world at greater risk from disease outbreaks, which require international collaboration to contain.

Today marks the 53rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade—a ruling that affirmed women’s right to have control over our own bodies.
Four years ago, a MAGA-influenced Supreme Court overturned it. Women now have fewer rights, and many have died after being denied essential reproductive healthcare.
