This wasn’t that long ago…

A reporter asking white folks in 1964 what they thought about the Civil Rights Act. And the answers are just 🤦🏽‍♂️

Trump’s AI video targeting the No Kings protest is a sad reflection of how far he’s slipped from reality. Hillary’s comment about it made us laugh. 😂

But ICE budget can be equaled to third largest military budget in the world. Kristi just got not one but two private jets. Cost $172 million but military and veterans nada. Others that have to work zero. What the hell is wrong with the republicans? Grow some balls.

Mike Johnson’s not a Speaker; he’s a spokesman. The House doesn’t move until Trump says fetch.

Johnson won’t bring the House back until Trump wants them back.

I'm tired of seeing white Democrats make excuses for white Dem candidates who said horrible racist and sexist things because nobody thought to even do some basic online research to vet this guy.

And they all skim right over the fact that he worked for Blackwater.

Because Blackwater changed it's name several times after gaining notoriety.

No, bro — It’s not “cancel culture”, it’s consequence culture.

Stephen Smith isn’t being “canceled,” he’s being called out.

This can’t be said often enough: Trump is selling out his most loyal voting block while bailing out somebody else’s.

📍Keep an eye on this: Trump’s intentionally sabotaging U.S. farmers. His billionaire buddies will benefit by acquiring their land on the cheap.

When do you think Trump and Republicans will realize they drove up No Kings protest attendance by calling it a “hate America rally”?

She nails it🔥

“I am a patriot and I will not… let anyone tell me that I am not here because I love my country.”

Sometimes it hits you: why aren’t Democrats talking about that? This is one of those things.

While Trump’s bailing out Argentina, Dems could be talking about creating jobs right here by expanding the domestic use of soy. This is about innovation and American jobs.

I think they are racist and full of hate and fear. As well as being ignorant.

All week the pro-Israel and pro-Trump supporters screamed at us, in unison: why aren’t you celebrating the ceasefire??

Because we knew it wouldn’t last. But even I didn’t think it’d be over in less than a week. What a complete & utter humiliation for Trump, thanks to Netanyahu.

‼️A 13-year-old child from Gaza, Mohammad Sarhan, saw his father killed before his eyes by the Israeli occupation, then was kidnapped by them along with his mother. He was later released alone, without a mother or father, and suddenly found himself the sole caretaker of his younger siblings.
