The reason why The US hasn’t apologized or given reparations for the genocide of Black Americans, is because you can’t apologize for something you’re actively doing.
Dear Scott Pelley: pull the entire 60 Minutes team together and go to MSNow and offer a package deal to recreate the show for Sunday night and call it The Hour
So let me get this straight.
Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.
Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.
Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.
Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.
And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”
Please.
Platner is a perfect display of white privilege because we all know no Black candidate would ever be allowed to have this much horrible, deplorable baggage and still be allowed to run for office.
The fact that an 14 year old boy was RACIALLY profiled the minute he walked into the store, was accused of stealing water that he DID NOT TAKE, left the store camly get chased 130 yards by two GROWN Asian men and shot in the back get off not guilty!!!I’m so sorry Cyrus Belton💔
I know he was innocent and I suppose that matters but here’s what gets lost in that discourse YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO KILL THE GUILTY EITHER! Stealing is NOT a death penalty crime. We have to resensitize ourselves to DUE PROCESS for Black people too! There’s a process…
🚨 HOLY SHIT.
CNN just cited a New York Times estimate saying Trump has reportedly profited $1.4 BILLION from the presidency.
And the wildest part?
One panelist said Trump made MORE MONEY in the last year than in the rest of his life combined.
Think about that.
🚨 DAMN.
Ruby Bridges said the moment she finally understood what was happening during school integration was when a little white boy told her:
“My mom said I can’t play with you because you’re a nigger.”
She was SIX.
And she said hearing that felt like “a huge weight lifted,” because suddenly everything made sense.
Why the classrooms were empty.
Why adults were screaming.
Why U.S. Marshals had to escort her to school.
Not because of anything she did.
Just because of the color of her skin.
A six-year-old child realizing an entire country was angry at her for existing.
Ruby Bridges was SIX years old.
Six.
And the President of the United States had to send federal marshals to escort a little Black girl into an elementary school because racist mobs were screaming they didn’t want integration.
People waved Confederate flags. Adults screamed at a child.
Parents pulled white kids out of school just because she walked through the door.
That is not ancient history. That happened in America within a lifetime. Ruby Bridges said she didn’t even know what the word “integrate” meant.
She was just trying to go to school.
Under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, Black unemployment reached its lowest level ever recorded in history. Now under trump, our voting rights are under attack, he’s ordered museums to change the way they cover slavery, he orchestrated the largest mass firing of Black workers in history, and has drastically cut funding to HBCUs. He is leading and encouraging a war against our community.
Third time’s the charm! I wrote this bill to expand childcare in Virginia back in 2023 and carried it 3 times. Thanks to Kathy Glazer, Karin Bowles & @lashrecseaird@ltgovhashmi for being champions in the Senate! Thank you @GovernorVA for making it law!

Virginia Beach police say a white supremacist group that marched at the Oceanfront during Memorial Day weekend did not require a permit because the gathering met legal requirements and did not pose a public safety threat. Mayor Bobby Dyer disavowed the group, while the NAACP's Virginia Beach chapter said they were shocked. "I told the police chief, this is not a good look for Virginia Beach," said NAACP Virginia Beach Chapter President Eric Majette.
