The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

This! Local elections often have terrible turnout rates. You can actually make a huge difference with very little effort.

Two days ago, he took a shit on the American people. Today, he began demolishing the People’s House. That’s all he does. He shits on people, and he destroys things. Bcuz he’s a horrible person. I blame him a lot for the death & destruction he’s caused. I blame his enablers & his appeasers even more.

All you "Do Something Now" folks who can't understand why the minority party isn't doing enough...

Why aren't judges moving fast enough...

Because no one is stopping radicalized far-right extremists from harming them.

The injuries, death threats, and kidnapping threats are real.

I would just like to reiterate to young Blacks…. As you can see…. WE do not have the luxury of not voting. Ever. Not voting is detrimental to ALL OF US. If there is someone still encouraging YOU… that voting doesn’t matter? Politely tell them to kiss your Black ass.
