Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

My great uncle was lynched after coming home from WWI because he went to town & wanted a drink and they refused to serve him— a VET who just fought for this country

After missing for hours my granddaddy found him hanging from a tree

THATS why I protect my peace

Every time I shine it’s for THEM

🚨 On May 1, 2025, in cities across the US, we will gather in solidarity—honoring the legacy of workers who organized for the 8-hour day.

Today, we face a new threat. A billionaire-backed minority is quietly reshaping our democracy.

BUT a peaceful People’s Movement is growing. 👉 www.FiftyFifty.one

It’s well known that I was on The Apprentice. We were all covered by NDAs at the time, but mine has now expired. And do I ever have some tea to spill. I’ll post it later today after consulting once again with my attorneys.

A couple of years ago, I noticed that Dems were losing ground with Latino voters. I launched a Spanish-language YouTube channel to reach those people. That channel is now on its way to 300,000 subscribers and has nearly 50 million views. We have be aggressive and go into spaces we're not already in.

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

Any security professional - military, government or otherwise - would be fired on the spot for this type of conduct and criminally prosecuted for being so reckless with this kind of information.

In this interview Schumer is so delulu and out of touch and wrong. I vote in CA but if you’re a NY voter, I hope you alll can find someone to primary him. He is unfit for the moment as are many of his colleagues.
