They sent this man death threats by mail because he was on the cusp of breaking a white man's home run record. He used their hate mail for inspiration to go on and break that record.

It was Hank Aaron's big "f**k you" to all of those racists.🖕🏾😝

🔥 COUNTRY SINGER @bryanandrewsmusic.bsky.social : "You don't get to call yourself a Christian and laugh when families are torn apart — and think it's okay that the highest court in the land just gave a green light to ICE agents to target people because they’re brown or speaking Spanish.”

Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?
