The lies, deflection, and gaslighting is so exhausting! People that believe that side are either sheep-minded, ignorant, or racist. But I keep faith that the majority of people see it and this wanna-be regime for what it is and who they are.

He absolutely did! I live downtown Chicago and the violence happening against Black and Brown people from ICE is a disturbing tactic. But I think we understand here they’re waiting for violence, so you don’t see violent retaliation, just protesting and protecting community and each other.

Again, You’re 100%! We have to take what has been done and evolve. I hope we can remain physically peaceful on this side, but be more ruthless on strategies of conquering the other side. They want violence to give a reason to kill, which is what they truly want. We need some more MLKs and Malcolms

Agree 💯 TBH, although it is truly disgusting (not surprising) what is going on; I think this country needed a major wake up call to stop being so complicit and ignorant. Now that it is a blatant slap(s) in face of this country, we have to do something, do better, and be a trusting National party.

💯 He spoke what is still true today. But if you look at Black history as an example just here in the U.S., every attempt to kill a leader, movement, or the culture never stopped progress. We have to stay calm, work together, and for lack of better words; we will overcome this TOGETHER.

For many, oppression is a new fear. For Black Americans, it's daily life. If you want change, listen to those who've fought it for generations. Protests w/ Boycotts work! Stop funding the systems and people you protest. Stop shopping AMZN, Whole Foods, Meta, etc. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_omQ...

When people show you who they are … believe them. This IS representative of what America has been behind the “hoods/masks”. Now that we ALL can see it, we can work together to put a stop to it.

What establishment groups are doing with Janet Mills, which is trying to stop the grassroots movement in Maine, is not new.

This is what big money donors have been doing for years in races across the country.

This has resulted in Democrats losing support from voters all over.

I was involved in the Soul Children of Chicago out of Father Pfleger’s church, St.Sabina. He has ALWAYS been the example of what advocating for the underrepresented looks like!!! True co-conspirator!!!!!

The Chicago ICE raid, is a result of America's racism. Trump’s admin. invited white supremacist, hateful mindsets & masked it as "ICE agents”. The same mindset that used enslaved children as “alligator bait”, also enjoys the cruelty of zip tieing a 2 yr. old black child; we shouldn’t be surprised.

"Democracy is hypocrisy." The same oppression that tried to destroy Indigenous & Black people now attacks others. Our cultures & truth outlive their erasure. We've defeated powerful evil before with less. We will again, together. History is our tool, power is ours.

Thank you for your calm demeanor, for saying what needs to be said, and a reminder that there is no need to panic. This is America, always has been, the only difference is it is openly on display. Like you said, vote, take “strategic” action, and we have the power to change…together.

Disney could be facing some real accountability for its asinine decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel.
Shareholders have filed a lawsuit against the company.

Disney may have violated its fiduciary duties by succumbing to political pressure instead of acting in the best interest of the company.

ILLINOIS — BROADVIEW POLICE CHIEF ON ICE: “I was shocked. I’ve never been spoken to by a fellow law enforcement officer in such a way.”

ICE is routinely gassing cops and negatively impacting the community as their detention facility faces protests.

Where’s outrage for these victims, where’s the outrage, & where’s the mass memorial services for ALL the victims of gun violence from Trump’s admin and the right? If it doesn’t serve their deflective narratives we can’t find them, especially when the shooters are Trumpers. apple.news/AJZ8DW37uSZm...
