Call that man what you want, but TO ME, if your grandmama was a mixed-race Black Creole, your African ancestry is not "one drop".
That's several drops. A teaspoon, at least. #PopeLeoXIV

I may be the only lawyer targeted by Trump willing to speak on camera, but for me it wasn't a choice. All of us have an obligation to speak out against what Trump is doing. All of us have an obligation to fight for democracy. I am fortunate to be a lawyer and to have a platform -- and I will use it.

Crows in a lab were able to distinguish shapes that exhibited right angles, parallel lines, and symmetry, suggesting that, like humans, they have a special ability to perceive geometric regularity.

The thing is, Americans are already turning on Trump, and part of the reason is that Democrats are not being louder in denouncing him. If Dems yell about Trump being bad, Americans tune it out. If Trump Take Egg though, that's serious.
We have to deal in reality. This is reality.

“Maybe Americans will like Trump less if we make him seem normal and express our opposition in understated language focused around economic policy” says the world’s most pathetic political party for the 17th consecutive time

Enlisted in the Roman army to gain access to persecuted Christians & care for them in secret
