Mohamed Hussein went to the Texas Republican convention to convince himself he had a place in the GOP.

He left in tears. What he found was a party that didn’t want him, that told him to leave the country.

🚨 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.

Did somebody already make a joke about Peter Thiel fleeing to Argentina like the other Nazis who came before him?
If not, I'd like to make that joke.

Look at Peter Thiel.
Fleeing to Argentina like all the Nazis who came before him.
