As we mark the solemn anniversary of the Tulsa Massacre, I continue to try to memorialize what was lost and bring justice to those who lost so much. Proud that the Senate has again passed legislation to build a memorial to Black Wall St. but more must be done.

I don’t know how many times we have to say this, but the U.S. government is not a business and shouldn’t be run like one. It’s a service—for the people.

Reupping my piece on how wildly unqualified Kash Patel is to be FBI Director.

One thing most profiles are missing is that he pled the Fifth in Trump's documents case after claiming Trump had a standing declassification order, a claim several witnesses disputed.

Kash Patel will do and say anything to protect Trump and his flunkies -- up to and including risking the safety of members of Congress. Such a person would not serve as Director of FBI. He would serve...

Trump is a mere figurehead, being used by Elon so he could be POTUS, since he wasn’t born in the US. Elon bought this election. An entire nation belongs to him now. In exchange, Trump doesn’t go to prison. Prove me wrong.

Elon Musk got so mad about the FAA's caution around his exploding rocket facility that he bribed Donald Trump to fire all the safety personnel there & now 60 people are dead.

Gotcha questions that have stymied this White House:

-Is there an acting FAA director?
-What is the president doing to bring down the price of eggs?

Both real questions asked of spokespeople at a press conference. Both apparently so difficult it made the spokesperson get combative or shut down.

is every app suppressing footage of #iceraids and #globalprotests and why are we FLYING undocumented people out of the country and who is paying for this? Watch the national debt and see how much of a joke that campaign buzzword was

I don’t know who needs to hear this but, your body’s are going to have to go on the line this time. Like the 60’s, they do not want the world to see images of this complexion being treated inhumanly. They have to be overwhelmed by it and crippling their $.

I dedicated years of my life to reporting on January 6 and exposing what happened. I was there that day, co-wrote a book, and published a series of major stories on my own, for Rolling Stone, and for TPM.

I hope it mattered. I hope history will remember and understand what happened.
