Weimar Republic: Germany’s government from 1919-1933, from end of WWII to rise of Nazi Germany. From uncertain beginnings to a brief season of success & then a devastating depression, the Weimar Republic experienced enough chaos to position Germany for the rise of Hitler & the Nazi Party history.com

I am familiar enough with the politics of being perceived as an aggressive Black man to know that Jeffries was in an impossible situation. All he did was tell this baboon yelling at him what's at stake. Being able to talk over somebody & hold up a sheet of paper ≠ winning an argument or being smart

McGovern: Republicans love to advocate for more work requirements for poor people… Let's have a work requirement for Republicans to show up to congress and do your god damn job.

I haven't been greasing my scalp and I know my granny looking down at me like the fucking idiot I am.

You log into Facebook and can immediately tell who just lost their kids in a custody battle. Cause why are y'all all posting these passive aggressive memes and cringe YouTube videos? If you don't clean your house and get ready for visitation 😭🤣 Facebook is not going to help this situation.

Bananas. The entire relationship was this dude attacking her over a prenup that he TOLD HER HE DIDN'T WANT. Everybody was under siege because of this idiot.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

Aftyn Behn Wins the Democratic Primary!

It’s official — Aftyn Behn is the Democratic nominee for Congress in Tennessee’s 7th District! 💙

This victory belongs to every volunteer, voter, and believer who knocked doors, made calls, and showed that people power still wins in Tennessee.

It’s sad that some folks only ‘see the light’ when it hits home. We were sent here to represent hundreds of thousands of people, not just our households.

It’s time for Republicans to remember their oath and do right by the people they serve.

White liberals have a clear enemy. A clear oppressor. It is APPARENT who wants to take your freedoms away. But the dilemma here is that enemy is the same color as you, and you have been groomed to center all your aggression at Black people.

When liberal white people see conservative white right wingers coming for their freedoms, they will try to humanize & empathize & synchronize. They will even look to the Black people & 'others' and lament that WE are not doing enough to make this right.

Like do you think Cheetahs see a Lion in the wild and instead of fighting they're just like "you know what, we are both cats here, let's hash this out?"

No, that lion is gonna give that cheetah that work if he don't run away.

White people do not know how to fight in this country without using Black and brown bodies as shields.
