So let me get this straight.
Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.
Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.
Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.
Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.
And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”
Please.
On July 29, 1910 hundreds of white people massacred Black residents of Slocum, Texas.
It is believed that the massacre began after a Black worker was appointed to a position of authority on a road project.
Slocum, similar to Tulsa was a thriving Black community.
In two days, it is estimated that 200+ Black people were massacred. Only six were officially confirmed and 22 were reported by major newspapers because Black lives didn't matter.
Black people had to leave their land, homes, farms, and businesses behind. Wealth is lost to generations.
The African-American population in Slocum declined.
Again, just like the Tulsa Massacre, the Slocum Massacre was not even acknowledged in Texas until 100 years later, in 2011. (EJI)

The 1% being rebranded to “The Epstein Class” and “The Parasite Class” so everyone knows it’s actually evil as fuck and harmful to hoard wealth made off the labor of others instead of helping people… Hell yeah 😎
Americans love to say, "We are better than this."
When?
During slavery?
During Jim Crow?
During Vietnam?
During coups in Latin America?
During Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Palestine?
At what exact point was this mythical moral golden age?
Maybe the problem is not that they fell from greatness.
Maybe the problem is that the greatness was always propaganda.
