We must see more major headlines bringing this tragedy to light. America has lost its way. Those who are more fortunate have a moral obligation to help others in need!
Hundreds of thousands of people are dead, according to this New Yorker investigation. The reason? The Trump administration's shutdown of USAID.

Read the full report on this devastating policy and its human toll.

Leave it to @politico.com to omit any mention of the fact that there is no insurrection taking place in Portland, Oregon. #Trump is lying. He’s bat shit crazy and completely demented. Political failed to mention these points too.

Trump open to invoking the Insurrection Act
The comments came a day after a federal judge blocked the president from sending National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon.

Brendan Carr, Trump and all the whiny, opportunistic MAGATS are a bunch of thin-skinned snowflakes. They can pull all the shit they want. In the end, all of them will have a lot of explaining to do when Jesus comes to check their boarding passes.

Disney/ABC just caved & pulled Jimmy Kimmel for political reasons.
Nexstar — which owns The CW + 200+ local ABC, NBC, CBS & FOX stations — is part of the same machine.

💥 Boycott Disney. Boycott Nexstar. Boycott their advertisers.

Hit them where it hurts: the $$$.

🚨 Denmark is on the verge of eradicating the deadliest cancer-causing HPV strains (16 & 18) 💉

📉 Infections dropped from ~15% to <1% in vaccinated women.
💪 This means fewer cancers and lives saved.

Vaccines aren’t just medicine—they’re miracles. 🌍❤️

$95.8 million for coffee & milk. Thats how much Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol reportedly took home last year. The average earnings for a worker was only $14,674.

All the people in Congress who want the #Epstein files released should demand Trump provide proof he never went to the island.

Remember this is how #Trump plays this game.

We shouldn't need a Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, but here we are. Still underpaid. Still undervalued.

66 cents on the dollar means we lose thousands every year, for doing the same job.

Over a lifetime? That’s hundreds of thousands gone.

Pay Black women. Period.

I really haven’t been doing well, but I’m going to try and post a little. If I don’t respond it’s because I am limiting my time on social media for my own well being 💜 I hope everyone understands 🙏🏻

#Trump and his #GOP don’t have to wait for the Nov. 2026 elections to win. They plan to win it in 2025, through something called ”The Great Purge.”
