This UFC spectacle at the White House, dripping with corporate sponsors and pay-to-play billions is crass corruption. While families struggle to afford groceries, rent, and healthcare, we’re watching Trump play Gatsby on the People’s lawn.
This grift must end. We deserve better.
🗣️NASHVILLE: “I just came from summer camp at the zoo — did you know elephants, rhinos, giraffes have infrasonic hearing? Please, no data centers. My generation needs you to put every roadblock in place to stop them.” @nonewdatacenters @MetroNashville@DCBLOXinc@NashvilleZoo
The Supreme Court is allowing Republican politicians to wipe out Black political representation and power.
We need to make it impossible for politicians or the courts to manipulate these maps once and for all.
Watch him mockingly laugh at Donald Trump. It’s hilarious how unfazed he is especially considering that’s a PDF file judging him.
“He shook, and we are coming.”
Ohio was reminded today that the fight for the right to vote is not history. It is happening right now.
Earlier this week, I took to the House floor to say that Juneteenth reminds us of the long battle to secure voting rights and Black political power.
That fight is ours to carry today.
The Republicans are always bringing up Biden when looking to blame their latest disaster on, well, here is an interesting fact: Trump is 10 points below Biden on his worst polling numbers.
“They told us voting is a privilege, not a right.”
That’s what I heard from students at North Carolina A&T who are fighting to protect access to the ballot.
These young leaders are organizing, speaking out, and refusing to let anyone take their power, and I am so proud of them.
“Why was he denied entry?”
“Communicating with bad actors.”
“Which?”
“I can’t talk about it.” 🤔
“Is this shaping up as a racist World Cup?”
(Yup!)
Trump goon tries to defend Trump & Stephen Miller’s racist rejection of a Somali ref. (In a #WorldCup we should not be hosting)⚽️
NASHVILLE: “If a data center project is not good for a zoo, it’s not good for an HBCU.”
Rep. @brotherjones_, students, alumni at @Fisk1866 U opposed a mysteriously-funded on-campus data center project shrouded in secrecy.
(His environmental racism class was abruptly canceled🤔)
🚨 HEARTBREAKING: Scott Pelley Sounded Like A Man Attending A Funeral.
Not for a person.
For a profession.
🔥 That’s why his defense of journalism hit so hard.
Scott Pelley confirmed on the record that CBS management ordered him to “inject falsehoods” into 60 Minutes coverage.
He named Bari Weiss directly. He said she was brought in to neutralize independent journalism inside the network.
He told 60 Minutes’ new leadership she was “murdering the show.”
Pelley spent 24 years at CBS News.
He just put his name on the record against the institution that built his career.
The Paramount-Skydance merger closed.
The new ownership installed Weiss. Pelley is the most senior on-air voice at CBS News describing what’s happening inside.
This is what institutional capture sounds like from inside the institution.
