Missouri Senator #EricSchmitt lectured in full White Nationalist last week. We thought it might be useful to deposit a Reality Check in the accounts of deluded White Nationalists, beginning with him. This week’s In Class With Carr, Session 287: "Reality Check!" www.youtube.com/live/emUJ4SK...

I will stand on my work. Completely. My work is factual, deeply researched and informed by decades of sustained engagement. Your comment is an attempt at #WeaponizedIgnorance that I only take a moment to respond to for the following reason: White nationalism is in its death spiral. Bleat on.

Never before in U.S. history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next.

This is dictatorship.

Shout out to Savannah High School out of Savannah Georgia for choosing an appropriate song for this #FourthOfJuly parade down Constitutional Avenue. A HBCU/HBHS staple, and a perfect rejoinder in the wake of the lie-encrusted Big BS Bill: “Talkin’ Out the Side of Your Neck.”

This is an assault on the Reconstruction Amendments by a Neo-Confederate Court wedded to the far-right argument that those amendments were illegitimate and destroyed the original intent of the Founders, which was to create a white man's country

Waking up to a Zohran Mamdani win is surreal. I’m so used to being a disappointed yet resigned NYC voter. A real platform that will benefit my community and other marginalized communities is just…WHEW!!!
