Raising children to be kind, thoughtful, and empathetic. Raising children to feel loved, affirmed, and proud despite what is being told to them by some of the country's most powerful people is something generations of Black Americans have had to do. And still, it came at a cost to them too.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

The @uaw.org has won a tentative agreement from VW nearly two years after workers voted to unionize in Chattanooga.

Over 3,000 workers will get:

- A 20% raise
- Better healthcare
- A bonus of about $6,550 per worker upon ratification

And much more.

I can't think of anything less patriotic than allowing a corrupt pedophile to suspend the constitution so he can murder citizens, enrich himself, and imprison journalists.

1️⃣ He didn't say that.
2️⃣ He said it, but you misunderstood him.
3️⃣ He said what you understood, but he was just trolling.
4️⃣ He was serious but he's just negotiating, not going to do it.
5️⃣ He's going to do it for grand strategy reasons I've invented.
6️⃣ Look what you liberals made him do.

That protester is fantastic—full of life, explaining the situation and his views on detail. Hannity sounds like he is toast, that his soul left his body

After her hearing at 26 Federal Plaza, a woman was detained and escorted toward the stairwell. Her husband, confused and in shock, was guided toward the exit. Minutes later, he broke down in the elevator. They entered together, but he left alone. This happens here daily. #ICE
