Too many of our "so called" leaders in the Democratic Party are falling right on in with White Supremacy.

[Dr. Allison Wiltz @queenie4rmnola]

Black Americans have been sharing a country with people who've hated us for hundreds of years. Let that marinate.

[Creole Louisiana 🇺🇸 @bAnthonYsr]

Dr. Candice Matthews just dropped some receipts on Greg Lewis, the Colin County District Attorney who oversaw the prosecution of Karmelo Anthony‼️🧐

A federal lawsuit accused him of systemic sexual harassment and inappropriate touching with subordinates‼️

A $1.75 million settlement was finalized to completely resolve the case, paid by Colin County’s private insurance policy‼️🙄

Deadass

[Dr. Allison Wiltz @queenie4rmnola]

A white convicted felon is the president. So when you use "felon" as a derogatory term, you're being racist. Apparently, you guys love white criminals so much that you guys built an entire political movement around one

[🪷 A Harris Democrat✊🏾 @sephius1999]

Leftists need to ask themselves, if Wes Moore had the same baggage as Graham Platner would you accept him running for office...

...the answer is NO!!!

...and it's because the bar is so low for white men.

Trump literally has 5 kids by 3 baby mamas, and is a sexual assaulter

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

Karmelo Anthony, a Black teenager, has been sentenced to 35 years in prison after being convicted by a jury with no Black jurors. Whatever one believes about the verdict itself, we cannot ignore the larger truth that many Americans are wrestling with: justice is still being administered through a system with a long history of racial disparity in sentencing and punishment.

This requires more than reaction. It requires moral honesty about who is deemed dangerous, whose pain is centered, and how differently accountability has often been applied in America. If we want justice worthy of its name, it cannot be shaped by race.

🚨🚨🚨 I'm posting this video every day so we NEVER forget what insurrectionist Donald Trump did on J6

Instead of accepting defeat and honoring the peaceful transfer of power, Trump unleashed a deadly mob on the U.S. Capitol in a last-ditch attempt to stay in power

THIS is what an insurrection looks like 👇👇👇

[🪷 A Harris Democrat✊🏾 @sephius1999]

Watching some Democrats sell their soul for Platner, while knowing it will bite them in the ass later....

...I will say "I told you so"

Using Trump as the blueprint to nominate Democratic candidates is shameful.

...and yes, I'm equating Platner and Trump.

BREAKING: Scott Pelley Just Made A Pretty Stunning Allegation.

According to Pelley, CBS leadership wanted a story about the killing of ICE protester Renée Good changed to better match Trump's version of events.

Pelley says he was told management wanted protesters portrayed as more violent and wanted Good described as driving toward the officer who shot her. He says the video evidence showed otherwise.

Then came the admission.

"There was a thumb on the scale for the president's version of events."

A veteran journalist with 37 years at CBS is alleging political pressure was applied to change the facts of a story.

That's a remarkable accusation.

[kevin blue @kevinblue345]

white people cannot be trusted because white people don't have the five core pillars of trust: consistency, integrity, reliability, empathy, sympathy, and accountability.

[Longtime Black Man Here @groove_sdc]

Notice how “urgent” it is that “Democrats win” when the candidate is a white man.

Very interesting.

[👑 Mr. Weeks 👑 @WonderKing82]

Democrats set themselves up for this

[Dr. Allison Wiltz @queenie4rmnola]

A Confederate flag at the capital in 2019. Public lynching of a Black man in 2020. Racial massacre at a grocery store in 2022. Police killed a Black woman holding a pot of water in 2024 and Black man in crises in 2025. An all-white jury for Black teenager’s trial in 2026.

It's not about voting, it's about having candidates to get out and vote FOR.

[Etan Thomas @etanthomas36]

“If you do not vote, you have sold us out. If you sit at home talking about neither party is doing anything for you, you’ve betrayed us. Every time you sit silently and won’t use your voice or your vote, you have enabled evil”

[Red Eye @RedEyesPage]

They’re using the Black
vote like they did during slavery. They count us, but we don’t have a voice.”

We vote Blue we lose.

We don't vote Blue we lose.

What are we voting Blue FOR?

Because voting Red is not an option?

[L. Louise Lucas @SenLouiseLucas]

Why would anyone want to spend 1.6 billion dollars subsidizing Big Tech companies when that money could go to public education, health care or tax relief for our constituents? This issue is uniting Democrats, Republicans and Independents and I am proud to be your advocate!

[L. Louise Lucas @SenLouiseLucas]

Let me be clear—I came up with several compromises to get us out of this mess! These compromises didn’t give me everything. But Data Center Diva and Amazon Don couldn’t understand that this is about the policy—fair taxation and protecting our resources and citizens.
