De Niro: I hate to say it, but loving our country is starting to sound like an abused spouse saying they love their abuser.

I can’t love a country that starts stupid and inhumane wars, killing thousands of innocents and indirectly causing the deaths and suffering of millions more.

I can’t love a country that takes healthcare away from millions of people and uses that money to enrich their pals in the Trump-Epstein class.

I can’t love a country that sends out masked militias to shoot citizens in the streets, torture our neighbors, and separate families.

I can’t love a country that’s led by a racist, misogynist, xenophobic tyrant.

And let me just say it: I can’t love a country that’s led by Donald Trump and his sycophant Congress.

🚨 HUMILIATION AT THE WORLD CUP: SENEGAL STARS TREATED LIKE CRIMINALS BY US BORDER THUGS

Senegal 🇸🇳 national team arrives in the US for #WorldCup2026 — and what do they get?

US authorities pulling them off the plane for aggressive bag searches, invasive checks, and public degradation right on the tarmac. Top African football giants disrespected like suspects.

This is not "security." This is racist arrogance from the host nation that lectures the world on fairness while treating African players like second-class humans.

Same America blocking referees, humiliating teams, and showing its true face to the Global South.

Senegal, Africa is with you. CAF and FIFA — speak up or remain useless puppets.

The World Cup belongs to the world, not to US ego and discrimination.

Expose this disgrace. Share widely.

I know it’s become pretty cliche and cringey to talk about at this point but if you’re under like 25 I cannot stress enough how one time Obama wore a tan suit and people spent a week arguing over whether or not it was demeaning to the Oval Office and they were serious about it.

Folks say “Racism happened so long ago, yall love to play victim”

Meanwhile Ruby Bridges is 71 years old. We have elders in this country that picked cotton, drank from Black only water fountains & couldn’t go into specific dept stores. But folks want me to not speak on racism 🙄

47 years of living in the south and here’s what I know to be true. If they have a confederate flag on display, they’re doing awful things to kids, pets, and/or spouses. Lots of hate comes with that loser banner.

[Power to the People ☭🕊 @ProudSocialist]

This is outrageous.

A small town in Michigan did everything right to stop OpenAI & Oracle from building a $16 billion data center in their town.

The people of Saline Township flooded their council meeting, put up signs all over town, and convinced their officials to reject it.

The officials voted against the data center 4-1, and that should have been the end. But two days later the developers sued, and the town couldn’t afford to fight back in court.

We are not a free nation when billion-dollar corporations can take over the land of our communities and towns. We are a captive nation ruled by corporations and billionaires.

A woman in Texas was arrested after she made a Facebook post sounding the alarm about the water quality in her town.

The water in Trinidad, Texas, sometimes runs brown, but when Jennifer Combs posted about it, the cops came and took her to jail.

This story will stick with me because when China announced it's historic victory in being the FIRST country EVER to ELIMINATE extreme poverty, part of that included free clean drinking water. After the announcement, it came out a particular village still had dirty water and...

This is what happens when you are led by clever people instead of morons.

This was happening to Chris as Black celebrities got out of their limousines and walked the red carpet, smiling and waving for paparazzi.

This was happening to Chris as Black celebs who talk about "Representation Matters" attended a function chaired by a Human Rights violator.

[Passport Trucka ✈️ @Airplanmode1998]

Niggas too worried about 50/50 and who should cook and clean and who fcking who. This couple made their own shopping center and you niggas never go there (I’ve been). I remember y’all let Black Wallstreet in Stonecrest shut down. Yall not serious about Black growth.

[Sony Thăng @nxt888]

The United States has the largest prison population on earth.

Not per capita.

Total.

More people in cages than China.

More than Russia.

More than every "authoritarian" state it condemns in its annual human rights reports.

1.8 million people.

Disproportionately Black.

Disproportionately poor.

Disproportionately from the zip codes with the worst schools, the fewest jobs, the most abandoned infrastructure.

This is presented as a "criminal justice system."

It functions as a labor system.

Prison labor, paid between 13 cents and $1.15 an hour in most states, produces goods for McDonald's, Walmart, Victoria's Secret, Whole Foods, and the United States military.

The 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery, contains an exception clause:

"Except as punishment for crime."

That exception has never been closed.

It has been expanded.

The plantation did not disappear.

It received a different name and a legal foundation.

You will be told it is a crime to try and help feed yourself and your communities as things deteriorate further, even if they are going to throw that food directly into a dumpster because the food was never meant for you it was meant for the wealthy to profit nothing else.

[99% Johnny Graz @jvgraz]

We need to outlaw private equity firms.

They're pure parasites, adding absolutely nothing but misery to the world.
