I don’t say this lightly. This one is really for all the marbles. If any POTUS can change legal and constitutional precedent through executive order then democracy as we’ve known over the past 250 years is no more.
The Supreme Court has agreed to decide if President Donald Trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship with an executive order is constitutional, offering the justices an opportunity to revisit what has widely been considered settled law since the 19th Century.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.
Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

It is abundantly clear (and has been for a while) that many people of faith do not know the difference between Christianity and white Christian nationalism.
They practice the latter but mistake it for the former.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

The second man found hanging from a tree in Mississippi is Corey Zukatis. He was, reportedly homeless. They are not yet saying these two "deaths" are related. I will say that finding 2 men hanging from trees in good ole Mississippi are a little sus

To borrow from Nina Simone, Mississippi, god damn! Two men found dead hanging from trees within 24 hours of each other. Law enforcement officials say no foul play is suspected at this time, but Mississippi has a history of strange fruit that is not easily forgotten.

After watching the VP and Stephen Miller on theCharlie Kirk Show today, it is clear they intend to use his murder to incite a government sanctioned Kristallnacht against their political enemies. 😡

Today, we honor and remember the souls lost on September 11, 2001. I intentionally chose this photo as a reminder of the brief moment when our nation stood united, regardless of our differences. An all too short moment! I pray for an enduring revival of that time when we were all Americans.

I never liked Charlie Kirk. He spewed hate and distorted the gospel of Christ. However, his death is not a cause for joy. Instead it is a time for somber reflection on the dark abyss that is now the United States. An abyss where we have become numb to violence and hatred.
Charlie Kirk has died after being shot at a Turning Point USA event.
He is survived by his wife and two children.
Kirk was 31.

Today, the majority of United States Supreme Court Justices have rendered the 4th amendment meaningless by ruling the ICE doesn’t need reasonable suspicion to round-up folks based solely on race, ethnicity, and language. This will not end with our Brown folks. We live in dark times!
