Dear US Media,
Can we please stop normalizing attempted regime change of Venezuela by the US government?
Why not ask instead, if the US wants regime change why not Russia?

He really does himself no favors when he does things like this & then gets defensive when he gets called a racist.
The Education Department was investigating a Texas middle school for allegations that Black students were being harassed with racial slurs and monkey sounds.

Today, French lawmakers unanimously approved a bill exonerating women punished for abortion before it was legalized in 1975.
This "is an act of justice toward those thousands of lives shattered by unjust laws," said Aurore Bergé, minister-delegate for gender equality.

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.
