Nope, you are correct. None of this matters until it really hits them

This is what I see. Where this is happening, *everybody* feels it. But nationwide, the majority isn't going to get angry until white people feel it. Until it's white people getting thrown into ICE vans, it's still just going to be somebody else's problem.
Someone, anyone, please prove me wrong.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

If you didn't vote for Harris, don't pretend you give a damn about healthcare.

If you didn't vote for Harris, don't pretend you give a damn about Gaza.

If you didn't vote for Harris, don't pretend you give a damn about jobs, the economy, or prices.

Because you didn't give a damn then. Clearly.

Funny how 91% of black women and 78% of black men got the message that Trump would be a dictator from day 1 but white folks especially these smarmy social media types ignored it for clout & clicks.

now you have the answer to your question as to how everybody else went along with fascism in Germany.

1) it's profitable 2) it removes personal accountability 3) it creates a false sense of power

You deserve to feel safe in your neighborhood. Kids deserve to feel safe in their schools.

And that means getting serious about gun violence prevention.

We did it here in Michigan. And you can count on me to take our work to DC.

This administration is totally fine with more Americans getting cancer from water contaminants if it means corporations and their wealthy friends might keep a penny or two more. Insane.

Remember when GOP Mich 2014 Gov Rick Snyder used his own personal emergency manager to override Flint’s elected officials and poisoned residents with contaminated water supply which left 12 dead and many children with lead poisoning? Typical republicans greed putting corporate profits over people.

My 1st thought was the picture choice was hilarious. We cannot escape CC even when she's not in the postseason. But, my next thought was they chose two white women who are not even playing when the best player on the planet IS playing and they could have used her picture. But she's a black woman.
