NBC just gutted the very teams that gave marginalized voices a seat at the table—then called it “restructuring.”

The cuts:

📌NBC BLK (Black community coverage)

📌NBC Latino (Latino community coverage)

📌NBC Asian America (Asian American community coverage)

📌NBC Out (LGBTQ+ community coverage)

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Screenshot of a post on X from Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s verified account. The post reads: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters. Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing. The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure. We await explanations from the US government.”

Said this before but I'll say it again. Just one
lifetime ago in the UK, our grandfathers
could buy a home, buy a car, have 3 to 4
children, wives could stay home, take
annual vacations, and then retire... all on
one middle-class salary. What happened?
We had same day GP, ambulances within
minutes, dentists, good education, decent
public transport, clean river and beaches.
So AGAIN WTF happened?

Trump's corruption needs to be exposed. It's corruption on a massive scale like we have never seen before.

Trump is cashing in on the presidency.

So much tear gas & flash grenades tonight at ICE in Portland. US Gestapo came out, pushed people back & held a line as other feds shot down tear gas canisters from the roof. People were dancing before this as an impromptu rave broke out

Pritzker rarely raises his voice in emotion.
He is very well educated and experienced.
You know there this is an urgent message by
his tone & words.
Trump Admin must end for our Democracy to survive. ⚖️🔥⚖️

ANY ARRESTS? Among the millions upon millions of "violent leftist radicals" that took to the streets today I cannot find word of a single arrest. Even when everything is peaceful there is usually an overzealous cop or something. This is unheard of. We need to beat the media over the head with it.

Coast Guard bought Kristi Noem two private jets (I guess if one breaks down). Cost: $172 million. Is that what you call draining the swamp?

BREAKING: President Trump is commuting George Santos’ sentence. You know, the disgraced former Congressman convicted of fraud, identity theft, and lying to donors.

The party of “law and order” strikes again.
