Y'all can try to steal our slang. Y'all can try to dress like us. Y'all can try to speak for us, speak over us or speak on our behalf. Y'all can try to infiltrate our communities and weaponize us against each other. None of it will work. We will always survive and y'all will never be Black.

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

A federal judge didn’t “steal” the Commander-in-Chief’s powers—she ruled that DoD exceeded the limits Congress set. That is the rule of law working as designed. What threatens the Republic isn’t judicial review, but officials who insist they’re above it.

The bill last numbered H.R. 9495 would empower the Treasury Secretary to designate any nonprofit the Secretary wishes to kill a “terrorist supporting organization” and revoke the tax-exempt status on which it depends for survival. Unconstitutional but lethal in the harm it would do while in force.

This is an incredibly important point. The fact that all across SM users have no idea who they're interacting with or taking advice from is a real challenge for our nation.
I'd wager the MAGA movement isn't chiefly American at all. It shares none of our real values. I'm certain Elon will undo this.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

Trump’s special envoy Witkoff put his hand over his heart when Putin walked in the room. Like he’s reunited with a loved one. That really tells you all you need to know.

One of the dumbest things NYT ever printed, and that's really saying something.
I’m SURE the Times meant to say “…his determination to replace scientific research with superstition and conspiracy theories…”
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
