“White people, as a group, are often surprised by the actions of other white people….It’s why almost all of the folks who took to the streets this weekend mirrored the complexion of the man they protested.”

1/ urge friendly members of Congress to sue to stop the tear down of the East Wing of the WH (DJT is a tenant, Congress is the landlord)

2/ organize large and vocal daily protests near the WH and anywhere DJT and JDV go

3/ insist that the Epstein files be released immediately

…some ideas

"The “No Kings” protests will be remembered as a waste of time unless some actionable offenses take place, and soon. What’s the next move? Is there a plan for the midterm elections? Are candidates being prepped for 2028? What do we do until then?"

We’re about to find out if white America is willing to do what it takes to save the U.S., given that people of color and Black folks are under duress/exhausted.

The ‘No Kings’ rally was cool.

But…

A protest isn’t going to save America.

Jeffries: "What's hateful is what happened on January 6. That was a Hate America Rally sponsored by Donald Trump and his sycophants who incited a violent mob to storm the Capitol. That is what hate looks like. What you will see this weekend is what patriotism looks like."

The GOP/MAGA racism started with birtherism aimed at Obama and continues today in the vile defamation and harassment hurled at Kamala.

“At the core of this situation is a troubling mix of racism, misogyny, and cowardice. These hecklers would never dare to act in this manner towards President Donald Trump, VP JD Vance, or any members of their political party and administration.”

"Yelling and screaming at those who are not in office has become a misguided way to express frustration with the new regime. Their irritation increased once they realized that Black people aren’t in a position to save America from itself anymore."

I’m not a fan of nepotism.

Unqualified people get things handed to them due to DNA, not because they’re talented/work hard.

With that being said…

Have y’all taken notice of how that loud dude on TV who got into it w/LeBron about this does the same w/his daughter & nephew?
