I don't think he believes in Heaven or Hell. He just gives God lip service here and there since Christian Nationalists give him a lot of money and power.

It's just not his thing (not that there's anything wrong with that). If you recall, he forgot to use a Bible at his inauguration.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Attacks on the federal workforce are also attacks on Black workers, who are overrepresented in the public sector.

Black unemployment is 7.5%. I'm reminded of Coates' observation that Black Americans regularly experience conditions that would be considered a crisis if whites faced them.

Black Unemployment Is Surging Again. This Time Is Different.

BREAM: Open enrollments starts in November. People are already getting notices about what they may pay. I mean, that's gotta be resolved.

Johnson is keeping the House closed so the House can't vote. So he doesn't have to swear in the new Congresswoman who will sign the Epstein discharge position.

He's lying with every breath.

The white left is free Palestine movement will never admit that they protest Kamala Harris for two reasons.

First they protest her because they're afraid of protesting Republicans and Republican events.

Second they protest her because they hate Democrats more than they hate Republicans.
