In light of Trump’s post yesterday, some history:
“On Memorial Day 1927, 1,000 white-robed Klansmen marched through the Jamaica neighborhood, eventually spurring an all-out brawl in which seven men were arrested. One of those arrested was Fred Trump.” www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix...

In 1927, Donald Trump’s father was arrested after a Klan riot in Queens
On Sunday, Trump declined to disavow the support of white supremacists.

The Wright Museums Instagram page is HILARIOUS. Think The Office but it's the staff at a Museum for Black History. Better believe this is on my list of places to visit.

The GOP’s new Voter Suppression bill, the so-called “SAVE Act,” would disenfranchise many of the 69 million women who took their husbands’ last names, as explained in my summary.
It proposes *no penalties* for erroneous voter purges but potential *prison time* for erroneous registrations. WTF?! 1/

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

"The promise of the American democratic experiment now resides in the Free States of the Union. They cannot accede to the illegitimate actions of a renegade executive."
Me: take it very seriously, without lapsing into cynicism.

The goal is to make so that only conservatives/republicans can run government. That is the plan.
NEW: The GOP are urging Senate Republicans to eliminate the filibuster to pave the way for the MEGA Act — a bill that could disenfranchise millions by imposing strict photo ID requirements to vote.
But history shows that killing the procedure could actually bode well eventually for Democrats.

Will Republicans kill the filibuster to pass Trump’s voter suppression bill?
Trump can rail against Senators who vote ‘no’ on a bill, but he can’t threaten to primary them when there is no vote on a bill.

Trump could not be more explicit about his intention to rig elections this year and in 2028
Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"

I am not sure there is a quantifiable upper limit to the amount of scorn that can and should be heaped upon those in the newest Epstein revelations, but Mr. White is bringing high and deserved heat.
I think it is OUTRAGEOUS that people are LEAPING to the conclusion that some our post prominent Americans are child rapists when it is EQUALLY PLAUSIBLE that they are simply indifferent to whether other people are child rapists so long as those other people can offer them access to power.
