Watch this investigative video. Look at what is really going on behind the real tactics of an undisciplined military type use of force without real probable cause. Cruelty and injury is their plan. Why is nothing done? No accountability. Share

Another attempt to erase and rewrite #history. Trump replaces just approved coins. Approved coins were ones that speak to black & women history.

The change was to improve vision accessibility for #disabilities

What does anti #woke even mean ? political grandstanding -whites only ?

Quote on pardons and corruption by trump

This isn’t forgiveness: it’s instruction. It’s an explicit message to present and future loyalists that when they commit crimes for him, particularly those involving election or financial fraud, they’ll be rewarded rather than punished.
