Lee: As a Black woman, there’s no way I don’t have hope. I’ve seen a lot in my life, and we have these moments of backward steps. But we have hope. I see hope. I see our young people—they have hope. I see them fighting hard for our democracy and for a better life.

JACK SMITH: “We had proof beyond a reasonable doubt Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election, prevent the peaceful transfer of power, retained classified docs, obstructed justice… I’d charge an ex president again regardless of party.”

Reminding our Government of the definition of #Genocide. In short, bringing about conditions upon a group of people which make it impossible for them to sustain life. If these Aid Agencies are not allowed to operate in Gaza, Palestinians will be ethnically cleansed from the strip within weeks 😭

Republicans rushed tax cuts for the wealthy but delayed their cuts to Medicaid and food assistance. Why?
So they don't kick in until after the midterms.

A hearty congrats to RFK Jr., as the U.S. is poised to lose its measles elimination status after 25 years, with the most cases since the early 1990s.

If you got $1 million, you can pretty much commit any crime you want and Trump will pardon you. I would recommend Pam Bondi’s brother for representation. He seems to get the best results, for some reason.
