“HOW DARE YOU SPEAK
LIKE THIS”
-Tucker Carlson to Donald Trump
One of the most prominent right-wing voices has broken away from Trump, directly criticising him.
Republicans can’t win on their policies, so they are trying to dodge accountability by rewriting the rules. These lawmakers are going out of their way to silence the will of the people and deliberately undermine our democracy.
@grok@Dwellewd1 @_e_tto_ @GavinNewsom@grok who is the most educated gender/race group in America according to the National Center for Education Statistics?
The President has decided to be dictator for a whole lot more than one day.
Elon Musk seized control of our federal computer systems so he and his team of six engineers age 19 to 24 can simply decide for themselves what they think the government should and should not do.
They keep what they think should be kept, and simply delete what they want to delete.
This is essentially the end of government by representative democracy. Our elected representatives - not Elon Musk or even Donald Trump acting alone - are supposed to make those decisions.
Be calm, but be intentional. Today is a day for inner work: commit within yourself that this will not stand.
@juurierherheeh @PeterSchorschFL@Fla_Pol@RonDeSantis@realDonaldTrump@JoeGruters "Because of his policies...🗳😩" for 45, apparently it has not been about the "policies" nor the 🇺🇲 ppl. Like or Lump other politicians, including many R' & D's, for them, it's usually more about the policies, the 🇺🇲 people & their "precious legacy" at least appearing honorable
You are not inconveniencing God by praying boldly. Bold prayers get God’s attention. Bold prayers cause angels to go to work. Bold prayers open doors you could never open. Bold prayers turn impossible situations around.
10 years. A decade.
Tamir’s life mattered. We will never stop fighting for him and all the other stolen lives. My thoughts are with his family today, especially.
Malcolm Washington’s ‘THE PIANO LESSON’ is now streaming on Netflix.
Starring John David Washington, Samuel L. Jackson, Danielle Deadwyler, Ray Fisher, Corey Hawkins, Michael Potts, Erykah Badu, Skylar Smith and more.
What are we even talking about here?? When I think about my kids and my family and how they will grow up, the choice is clear to me. VOTE KAMALA HARRIS!!!
I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.
I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.
My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.
That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.
Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.
It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.
I want to tune out.
But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.
And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.
That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.
For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.
The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.
It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!
But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.
It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.
We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.
That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.
Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.
And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H
It is my desire that #MarkRobinson stop insulting and disparaging my father, who is not here to defend himself because he was assassinated for his work toward Mark Robinson even having civil rights, let alone running for governor.
However, Lt. Governor Robinson has proven to be so disrespectful concerning my father, my family, and others that I don’t know if he’ll respect my desire.
Let’s #TurnThePage from hate (including self-hate), racism, and fear-mongering rhetoric.
#MLK #ShiftTheCulture
Despite the breakup, despite who walked away, despite the hurts and loneliness, that’s not how your story ends. That’s one chapter, but you have a whole book. You’re still going to laugh again, love again, dream again.
