“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” Edmund Burke. Standing idly by as the moral fiber of our country is shredded by unapologetic racism may seem politically expedient to some, but it is ruinous for our nation.
Good morning from New York.
A federal judge issues his ruling on Jeffrey Epstein’s bail application in court at 11:30 a.m. EDT.
Michael Cohen’s search warrant materials related to a closed campaign-finance probe to be unsealed at 11 a.m.
Covering both live for @CourthouseNews.
Watching the President lie (again) to the American people, spreading racist and xenophobic propaganda against @Ilhan with the crowd being goaded into chants of “send her back” was both chilling and horrifying. There is no place for such racism in our public discourse.
.@realDonaldTrump & @GOP enablers have legitimized the racist chant of "send her back" to an American citizen. If @IlhanMN was white they would not use that racist trope.
If this horrifies you then vote, donate & organize like never before. The soul of our country is at stake.
Trump rallies are now completely indistinguishable from KKK rallies.
This angry, racist mob is attacking an American citizen at the direction of the President of the United States.
If that doesn’t make you sad as fuck, you’re probably a racist.
BREAKING: Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has blocked an attempt to pass an extension of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund, pointing to the country's growing debt and arguing that any new spending should be offset by cuts to other spending. (via @thehill) https://t.co/VGGoALb9qV
None of us are less American or less loyal because of the color of our skin. When @POTUS tells us to "go back" to where we came, that's racist! But guess what? We aren't going anywhere. America is our home & we'll still be here long after the occupant of this White House is gone.
