BREAKING: A Black female former employee slaps CPAC(Conservative Political Action Committee) with a whopping $55 million lawsuit accusing it and its Chairman Matt Schlapp of "racial discrimination.”

It all started when the employee, Regina Bratton, complained about racism in the organization to her superiors, and was shamelessly told, “we are not an affirmative action company” — and then “retaliated against” and fired for speaking out.

Adding insult to injury, the Washington Post reports that “Bratton was the only African American employee out of about 30 employees, interns and volunteers across CPAC. She claims that she faced hostility up and down the chain of command” and was even told by other workers that they didn’t like “working with or for women.”

CPAC has always had a history of racism — but now it looks like they may finally pay a big price for it.

Please retweet and ❤️ if you support their lawsuit against CPAC — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a woke new Twitter competitor that banned Trump for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKjCwX

@Safeway I'm not downloading your intrusive data collecting app to get a discount when I'm in your store. I already have your "rewards" card which I need to get a still higher price than Lucky's. I'll stop shopping at your store before I download your app.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson confronted the lawyer arguing for outlawing affirmative action with how his proposed college admissions system would privilege a white legacy applicant over a Black descendent of slaves. Listen here -->

Here’s the truth: @danpfeiffer’s latest book, Battling the Big Lie, is an important read for anyone who’s wondering how the far right traffics in lies and what we can all do to fight back. As we head into election season, it could not be more timely.

BREAKING: Republican Senator Marco Rubio humiliates himself, accuses the judge who signed off on the Mar-a-Lago raid of being “an Obama judge” — but the judge was actually appointed by Trump himself in March of 2018. RT IF YOU THINK THAT MARCO RUBIO IS A SHAMELESS LIAR!

@ReliableSources @CNN Is Paul Krugman the only economist in the country? I think every year Nobel prizes are awarded in this category but Krugman is the only one who gets on your air. Who knows, there might be an economist from a university who could come on air. Just saying...
