Black women make up 12% of the federal workforce. The largest representation of their labor.

And Trump is firing, firing, firing.

Trump claimed that immigrants were “taking Black jobs,” but even after he deported 350,000 immigrants this year, 300,000 Black women lost their jobs. Black unemployment, overall, has soared to 7.5% under Trump, while white unemployment has dropped to 3.7%.

Black Unemployment Is Surging Again. This Time Is Different.

Kamala Harris: "Here in Chicago I'm told the helicopters that were descending on an American city were Black Hawks. Do you know what Black Hawks were designed to do? War. So I think everyone can draw their conclusions just based on the facts."

Back in the 90s when neo-nazi skinheads were everywhere, people wore colored laces in their Doc Martens to signify which side they were on. Red meant nazi, one black one white meant anti-racist, blue meant neutral, and green meant you like frogs and were anti-fascist. Been thinking about that a lot.

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

We should be putting up signs to mark these acts of state violence in every community in the country.

Signs popping up around D.C. note: ‘ICE kidnapping happened here’
The neighborhood signs follow an older tradition of simply bearing witness — in this case, to the arrests by federal agents of immigrants who make up the fabric of some neighborhoods.

“CDC is over. It was killed. This administration only knows how to break things. They have made America at risk for outbreaks and attacks by nefarious players. People should be scared,” said Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, former director of the CDC’s National Center on Immunization and Respiratory Diseases

Did people actually believe Trump during his campaign, or did they just love the permission he gave them to be racist?

Trump on loop: “They’re stealing your jobs.”

If that were true, why aren’t Americans lining up to take those so-called “stolen” jobs?

Every Trump voter needs to see this.
