I don't get to just declare myself an ally - that's something only members of the marginalized groups I support and defend can decide about me. And, if granted, that allyship can be revoked the moment I do, say, or advocate things that harm or erase them.

Look! Sanders doesn't like us Democrats. We don't like him. He screwed us over in 2016 and disappeared in 2024.

Stop trying to make him a thing. Let it go!

You can be sure he didn't come up with this idea. His sycophants in the military who will gladly follow illegal orders suggested it and will carry it out.

Wouldn't be a bit surprised if he nuked an American city as a show of dominance. San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, or Detroit.

Not an attorney, and I'm not sure what help I can offer from up here, but as an American living in Canada for many years, having been thru the Canadian immigration & citizenship processes, any American curious about coming to Canada can DM me for questions anytime.

Heifer, your husband is a white supremacist and eugenicist.

He's not qualified to run HHS; a Vet Tech would be more qualified.

You're there because you get off on the power, attention and you clearly are the same as him.

Sunny Hostin to Cheryl Hines: "The problem is that your husband is the least qualified HHS head that we've had in history. I think that's very dangerous. He has spread a lot of misinformation, chaos, and confusion."

If the Voting Rights Act is deemed unconstitutional, it won't be long until these malicious cartoon villains come for the Civil Rights Act. The biggest trick the Devil ever played was the "both sides are the same" nonsense.

Black people need to be seen be Black doctors and other specialists. Medical racism is real.

What you're doing here is evading collective accountability, acknowledging which is the very first step in starting to try to remedy the racism and injustice that we've perpetrated.

Any mother adores getting phone calls from her children. For Josiele Berto, they are now a lifeline and the only way to know where her 13-year-old son is and what he’s facing alone.

White people need to talk to other white people. It is entirely up to the whites to move the needle on their end.

Let me be clear: racism and antisemitism are rampant on *both* sides of the aisle.

And my ancestors presumably tortured and mistreated enslaved Black people, as an "overseer" in 1850 Louisiana. All white people, to this day, have benefitted from white supremacy and slavery. This was my great-great-great grandfather.

Just so that we are clear:

The folks saying “I never owned slaves”

Are pissed off we are saying

“Our ancestors bled on these America streets, we don’t owe you shit shut up”

Funny, that.
