COMMENTARY: Let’s say it plainly: There has never been a president as corrupt as Donald Trump.
There is no close second in our history.

Abdul El-Sayed: “AIPAC and Israel are not the same as Judaism and the Jewish people. I love Judaism and I love the Jewish people. The single most dangerous thing they’ve tried to tell us is somehow they can extend the definition of antisemitism to include a foreign government and its leaders. I call bullshit”
Today’s Supreme Court decision in 𝘓𝘰𝘶𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘢 𝘷𝘴. 𝘊𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘴 gutted what remains of the Voting Rights Act. This ruling opens the door to racial gerrymandering that will take us back to Jim Crow. This is a betrayal of Black voters, America, and democracy. Another Bloody Sunday.
Today’s Supreme Court ruling further weakens a law born out of sacrifice, struggle, and the determination of people who risked everything for the right to vote.
Voting rights remain essential to justice, representation, and the dignity of citizenship. This decision certainly weakens key protections and sets up a path that could make fair representation even more difficult.
This is a critical election year, and it is also a critical moment to call for new voting rights legislation.
Through Kingian Nonviolence, we can organize, strategize, and coordinate our efforts to combat voter suppression and create a pathway to restore and protect representation.
Register. Verify your status. Make a plan to vote. Help others do the same.
If we are serious about creating the Beloved Community, we must be serious about protecting and using the right to vote.

Slavery in this country lasted 246 years. Jim Crow lasted around 100 years.
Our attempt to remedy the impact of those crimes against humanity was met with white terrorism & savagery.
The laws we finally got passed to address these harms were relentlessly challenged & lasted only 61 years before they were all finally stripped away.
This country has decided that the idea of race can be used to multigenerationally oppress us, but any remedy must be race neutral, which means there can be no remedy.
Never again will I vote for a presidential candidate who is unwilling to admit that America—a country that wouldn’t exist without chattel slavery—is a racist nation. That’s the beginning for me, before we even get to policies & legislation.
*Me being forced to read another 92 pages of the Supreme Court taking away my rights all because Metheny and Metthew voted for a white nationalist because they believe that taxing the rich puts their $27,942.53 annual salary and double-wide trailer at risk*

CNN: "In the initial statement from DHS, they said these two migrants had attacked the ICE agents in Minneapolis with the shovel, but what this video shows is this was not the case ... the two ICE agents made false statements under oath."
This is what happens when 77 million people take leave of their senses and put a manifestly unqualified, unfit, mentally ill narcissistic man-child in charge of the country and the world's most powerful. military. This is what happens when the media 'bothsides' election coverage.
If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment.
This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.
To be clear, the president’s views are those of a white supremacist and his own administration members say so.
This should be the second-biggest domestic scandal in American politics (the first being Trump’s documented ties to a notorious child sex offender and trafficker).
There’s a reason Washington didn’t do this. Jackson didn’t do this. Lincoln didn’t do this. TR didn’t do this. FDR didn’t do this. Reagan didn’t do this.
They were all *real* American patriots.
This is something you see in banana republics, from Mickey Mouse wannabe despots.
