The VP of the US can give a speech saying no one has to be ashamed to be white anymore — the type of mainstream political speech we haven’t seen since before the civil rights acts, and the rhetoric is treated as merely divisive with few pointing out the obvious truth that white men remain in power.

December marks the 70th anniversary of the Montgomery Bus Boycott—December 5, 1956 - December 20, 1956. The Thunder of Angels chronicles the stories of people involved in the boycott with interviews and first-hand accounts. It's a fascinating read. #Blackbooksky #Blacksky #Booksky

Look I've been suicidal & not only that I've come to terms with the fact I'll always struggle with suicidal ideation. Those feelings crest & peak & people commit the act opportunistically at a low, when if they'd stuck around they'd see they felt better just a bit later. So yes ChatGPT is killing.

Jamal Khashoggi was employed by an American news company @wsj.com
He worked as a journalist in America.
He was a permanent resident of the US.
Just read below what the Saudi Crown Prince did to him.
This is what Trump is glorifying.
This is what Trump loves, people being heinously murdered.

The Saudi Crown Prince had Khashoggi dismembered in the Saudi embassy in Istanbul.
Dismembered while still alive.
But Khashoggi gave his phone to his fiancee and went in with his Apple Watch recording.
His watch was connected to his phone.
It captured the gruesome audio of his brutal killing.

GOP Rep. Salazar: "Talking about Charlotte -- 200 people in 48 hours were arrested. 70% of them did not have a criminal record according to DHS. That's a mistake ... do not touch the lady who has been here for 10, 20 years contributing to the economy ... that is why those people are protesting"

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Bad for Republicans? It’s bad for people like Jeff in Natick who will see the cost of his cancer treatment skyrocket to over $300,000 a year if we do not extend the ACA premium tax credits. That’s who we’re fighting for.

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.
