Shout out to Savannah High School out of Savannah Georgia for choosing an appropriate song for this #FourthOfJuly parade down Constitutional Avenue. A HBCU/HBHS staple, and a perfect rejoinder in the wake of the lie-encrusted Big BS Bill: “Talkin’ Out the Side of Your Neck.”

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

Today in Washington DC a devolved entertainment media creation conjures a parade that even the weather rejects. Meanwhile, millions beyond his capacity convene from coast to coast and beyond to remind the world of the reality that would-be rulers are only as strong as the rest of us allow.

Rep. LaMonica McIver is being charged for doing her job—for conducting oversight and standing up for her community.

That’s not justice. That’s retaliation.

And we’ve seen this playbook before.
