ILLEGALLY invoking the “Insurrection Act” again, is on brand for a white nationalist insurrectionist.

Anyone saying to Black America, “We told you! You’re next!” .. is just as dangerous and uninformed as white supremacists.

We were not next .. We were FIRST and ALWAYS.

The dismissiveness of the Black experience in America - is why the country is in chaos.

Trump's statement was a declaration that the idea of free speech is over. Where once you had the right to criticize those who “bring order,” now such reckless rhetoric is punishable as direct support for “terrorism.”
