The U.S. House of Representatives just passed a Democratic discharge petition to extend enhanced Obamacare subsidies for three years, 230–196.

All Democrats voted yes, 17 Republicans broke ranks and joined them.

The origin of this is SCOTUS Chief Justice Roger Taney saying that Black people have no rights white people are bound to observe.

Such abuses have always happened in America, just not to most white people.
This is the message.

“YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS THAT WE ARE BOUND TO OBSERVE.”

They are the President’s own bully-boys and they’re there to enforce his will.

Is it not obvious now? Trump will have you shot in the head. He will declare you a terrorist. He will protect your murderer. And then he will do it again.

We cannot survive as a country like this.

Black Gen X here. Hell, it goes all the way back further than that. They've never listened to any of us. We told them eventually it's going to hit home and we were blown off still.

Now a US born white woman was murdered by a US born white man using the same tactics used to murder Black people.
Right. They called us all kinds of slurs and mocked our deaths. They only shared this video because it’s been normalized to share OUR last moments with police and suddenly every understands that police shootings are bad but they are being specific to only say ICE like we don’t exist and our deaths
Black Millennials really be outside for the last 2 decades raising hell. From Jena 6 to Trayvon to Mike Brown, to Tamir Rice Breonna Taylor to George Floyd. AND EVERYBODY treated us like whining brats, that were too dumb, too poor, and too violent to materialize the American Dream. Now Look.

Ogles: "It's important that we have a stake in Greenland, that they are quite frankly a protectorate of the US. They've been in relationship with Denmark - that needs to end. We've spilled more blood protecting Greenland than the Danes... we are the dominant predator force in the Western Hemisphere"

A riot is spontaneous.

January 6 was a domestic terrorist attack planned in advance.
Noticing that CNN is calling Jan. 6 a “riot,” not an “insurrection.”

PSA: It was an insurrection.

Five years ago today, Donald Trump urged his supporters to attack Congress and the Capitol over a proven lie. More than 140 police officers were injured.

Trump then pardoned the attackers.

He betrayed his oath and his country, and we won't ever forget it.

🧵January 6 was an attack on the peaceful transfer of power.
One year later, I helped make a video responding to what we all witnessed. When I was told the DNC should not post it, I made sure it was released through the DCCC.
The instinct was restraint. Silence. Moving on.

A Washington Post poll shows Americans are split on sending military forces to Venezuela to capture Maduro. Most say it should have required Congress’s approval.

And it didn’t stop there. People closely connected to Trump have gone on to receive hundreds of millions more in government contracts and loans. That’s public money flowing to insiders, again and again.

This is what corruption looks like.

The Trump Administration fast-tracked nearly $1 billion of taxpayer money to a company run by a major political donor — skipping the usual checks and putting political appointees in charge of the process.
