🔥 ZOHRAN ON FOX: "I want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Adams who will call you to stay out of jail… a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election… I’ll be a mayor ready to speak at any time to lower the cost of living.“

That was when they had a healthy majority of White people. Not so much now because the country is browning and White folks ain’t having babies. They are scared to death. Why??

"It is ridiculous that antifa has become this boogeyman. If they're going to tell us they are going to find the founder of Antifa, isn't the founder of Antifa...Winston Churchill? FDR? Didn't they lead a war against fascism? Wasn't that anti-fascism?" - me

I would like to attend a No Kings protest but I ain’t gonna lie. I think this is a fight that White folks need to fight now. Black people are f’in exhausted.

Not so much hard wired into the Constitution as it is hard wired into many White people.

They aren't weak - they are supporting everything trump & his cronies are doing so why would they interfere. Republicans have been dreaming of these things for decades & now all of their dreams are coming true - they don't act cause they don't want to. Republicans are the problem.

This entire argument by Louisiana and the conservatives questions are premised on an erasure of Congress’ enforcement power under the 14th & 15th Amendments.

Literally swinging for the fences to wipe out the premise for the legitimacy of Congress’ power to enact civil rights statutes.

The State Dep is revoking visas of people who posted anything they don’t like about Charlie Kirk, even if it was in no way celebrating his death

You know who gave those assholes political cover to do that?

The 98 DEMS who voted to honor a mini David Duke who turned millions of teens into Klansmen
