Let’s be clear, most EBT users are white. The reason he’s specifically lying about “weaves” and we’ve seen so many AI fakes of Black women ranting about food stamps is they need to make BW the face EBT because they know many Americans don’t care if Black people suffer, and some actually wish for it.
ROB SCHMITT: People are using SNAP benefits to get their nails done, to get their weaves and their hair. This is a really ugly program.

SEN. RON JOHNSON: That program needs to be dramatically reformed.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

The Trump shit video is basically this, but I will reiterate that if a Dem is critical of conservative voters it’s a generational scandal and when Republican pols literally post themselves shitting on their opposition virtually the entire elite politics and media class treats it as fine and normal

Wow what a legend. Truly, if there's one thing you watch/listen to today, make it this.
Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

NEW: I'm listening in on a second new lawsuit out of Illinois today, addressing First Amendment freedoms surrounding protests, including press and religious claims.

Judge Sara Ellis, an Obama appointee, is hearing the TRO motion and has found the plaintiffs, for TRO purposes, have standing.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

You know, Toni Morrison said, “Absorbing the lies, untruths, both transparent and nuanced, of governments, their hypocrisy so polished it does not even care if it is revealed, can lead to a wearied and raveled mind.”

The problem is we don’t put fine ass men in rom coms no more. They get sent straight to action, thriller and super hero movies. Bring back chick flicks. Bitches just wanna swoon 😩

Watching how Mayor Jacobs and Gov. Pritzker are having to explain why they oppose Trump’s military occupation is infuriating. Those of us who live in Baltimore, Chicago, and other cities cited by Trump are not a backdrop for a strongman’s show of power.

There were no magic words that white voters and others needed to hear to keep them from voting for a felon, pathological liar, and a fraud over Kamala Harris. Stop pretending that she ran a poor quality campaign. She didn't and never has. Blame the mendacious and gullible fools that voted for him.

But I will ALWAYS cheer on Black and brown women telling THEIR OWN STORIES…

If this book being written makes you feel a certain type of way- you should probably be the first to read it💛
What the world saw on the campaign trail was only part of the story.

My new book is a behind-the-scenes look at my experience leading the shortest presidential campaign in modern history.
