If you all would have included truthful Black History as part of American History, you wouldn't be so "shocked" by what is happening right now. In fact, what is happening now likely wouldn't be happening because you would have been able to see it coming with knowledge of history.

It’s true that some MAGA supporters are losing faith in Trump and expressing frustration. But evidence and trends suggest they’re flocking to explicit Fascists and growing more radicalized.

We can’t just sit back and hope. We have to fight.

Where It's All Heading: The Fascist Right Post-Trump

Watching parts of the Right grow weary of Trump might be hopeful, but without needed change the situation will only worsen

I recently saw a post where someone’s 5th grade kid brought home worksheets about this guy. The worksheets painted him as some type of saint further whitewashing his racist legacy. I wondered why a certain segment was so adamant about lionizing a guy sane people know was a tool and vector of WS 1/

If Pritzker said “Man roll away from me with this” everyone would surely be in an uproar:

Now Abbott will get away with this but Pritzker zing his ass in response and the media will hit the fainting couches with the quickness.

Two sets of rules guys.

He kept it light and framed it all like it was jokes, but it definitely wasn't rehearsed based on Smith's reaction, and he slipped in an "I wish you'd been here in person" between insults as Smith tried to backpedal. Even the co-host was trying to deflect and take it to commercials. It was glorious.

I can tell Alexis Ohanian is married to Serena Williams because he came for Stephen A Smith with the energy that comes from being fully committed to a Black woman and taking no shit by proxy. He had him losing his words, hit him with an "at least I HAVE expertise" and then said catch me outside.🤣

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

Mike Davis clerked for Neil Gorsuch, worked in DOJ and on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Now he is an election denier troll who peddles conspiracies on Steve Bannon's show.

So, of course, all of that makes him a close ally of the Trump regime.
