Aretha Franklin was a surprise guest performer at the Kennedy Center Honors tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “Natural Woman.” Aretha noted in a Vogue interview, “Carole didn’t know I was going to be there at all. That’s one reason she was excited.”
.@sanbenito gracias! For giving dignity to a country and for giving voice to the Latino voices in USA that need love! Few year ago I was at the Oscars supporting not only your beautiful neck of USA but the right to all people to be part of USA! God bless…
I’m not going to repost that racist’s despicable garbage here. In his “Truth,” Trump told the truth about himself. Will @WhiteHouse repost? How about @TrumpWarRoom - are you all in? What about the staffers running @RapidResponse47 or @DHSgov - huh? Or maybe @USDOL - you there?
Donald Trump is withholding billions of dollars in New York infrastructure unless he gets Penn Station and Dulles Airport named after him.
This is not only brazenly corrupt. It is sick, twisted and egomaniacal. The time is long overdue for sane Republicans to stand up to Trump.
This most fundamental racist trope was posted by the President of the United States.
He knows that and he knows what he’s doing.
There will be no apology and he won’t take it down because this video isn’t a mistake - it’s exactly who he is.
This video is going viral of Trump after he shared a video on Truth Social depicting the Obama’s as monkeys:
“I am the least racist person there is anywhere in the world. What I’ve done for African Americans…no president has ever been able to do anything like it.”
In years past, this sort of behavior would have been unimaginable from a president of the United States. Unimaginable. There are other words to describe this, but you can simply watch it and feel it yourself. This is being done in public.The press is being attacked in public and private. Having a free press is critical to our democracy. Having a president that knows how to answer questions with class, professionalism, and intelligence is critical to our culture and society.
A DEA officer stopped at our farm yesterday. “I need to inspect your farm for illegal growing drugs.”
I said, “Okay, but don’t go in that field over there.”
The DEA officer verbally exploded, saying, “Mister, I have the authority of the federal government with me!” Reaching into his back pocket, the officer pulled out his badge and shoved it in my face. “See this freaking badge? This badge means I am allowed to go wherever I wish… on ANY land! No questions asked or answers given! Do I make myself clear? Do you understand?”
I nodded politely, apologized, and went about my chores. A short time later, I heard loud screams, looked up, and saw the DEA officer running for his life, being chased by my big old mean bull! With every step the bull was gaining ground on the officer and it seemed likely that he’d get gored before reaching safety. The officer was clearly terrified.
So, I threw down my tools, ran to the fence, and shouted at the top of my lungs.
“Your badge, show him your freaking BADGE!!!”
