George Floyd should still be here to celebrate his 52nd birthday. His life sparked a movement, and our fight for justice, accountability, and humanity continues. We’ll never stop saying his name.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.
Shhh. Republicans are trying to repeal Obamacare again. Sort of.
They’re not branding it an Obamacare repeal this time around, but congressional Republicans are pursuing cuts to programs that are part of the 15-year-old health-care law.

Companies with DEI policies are more likely to HIRE white women. But when it comes to job performance, promotion & retention for Black women, researchers found a factor that's surprisingly more important than workplace diversity:

Workplace whiteness.

Trump and his oligarch allies saying we need to suffer for a while paying the new TRUMP TAX (Tariff) but the economy will be better later are missing that the economy was already strong before Trump took over: Unemployment was 4%, inflation dropping, stock market up. Trump has DESTROYED all of that!

Black people can't be racist in a society where most police, lawyers, and judges are White men, where most managers and supervisors are White men, where most teachers and professors are White. Where most governors, presidents, and mayors are White. Stop the lies. Pump your brakes

Mark Warner on Fox: "I may disagree with the president, but I respect the office of the president. I'm probably not gonna be jumping up applauding a lot, but I owe him his due as president. The president has made great, great progress on border crossings. That's something we ought to celebrate."

This is not law. It couldn’t withstand legal scrutiny.

Don’t comply in advance university presidents. General counsel, don’t panic. Do law, not vibes.

I want to salute the Governor of Maine Janet Mills who, in that room with a raging Trump and silent complicitors, stood her ground and said, “see you in court!”

Maine residents, show your support for your Gov for standing up for your independence.
“We are the federal law.”
TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here?

JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here

TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply?

JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law

T: You better do it bc you're not gonna get any federal funding at all

Mr. Hegseth has previously said that General Brown should be fired because of his “woke” focus on diversity, equity and inclusion programs in the military.

Replaces a Black four-star fighter pilot with a white man who does not meet the statutory qualifications supposedly over DEI.
