Wow. Donald Trump is holding affordable housing hostage until Congress passes his voter suppression bill.
He is literally delaying help for families struggling to afford a home in order to make it harder for married women and Black Americans to vote.
He is a sick man!
Because of my anti-Trump posts, my account with over 700K+ followers was reported by MAGA and was shut down.
I’m back with a new account and will keep speaking out.
Please follow, repost, and help me rebuild. Thank you.
Imagine Trump ever being invited to join a photo like this — not in a million years.
Four presidents. Zero drama. Just smiles, respect, and a shared love of country. 🇺🇸
🚨 I'm posting this video everyday so we NEVER forget what Donald Trump wants Americans to forget about what he did on Jan 6!
Do you agree that THIS is what an insurrection looks like. 👇👇👇
Dear Joe,
I wish I could sit down with you face to face and explain why so many of us were offended by the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House.
For me, it had nothing to do with the UFC or who showed up for the fights. The brand you and Dana have built is a bona fide American success story. More power to you. As for the fighters, in my book, anyone brave enough to put it all on the line in the arena is remarkable to witness. Their dedication and discipline inspire me. I don’t understand anyone who can’t admire that.
And as for the people who attended, I, for one, love Shane Gillis. I think he’s hilarious and brilliant. It was a show. A once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. I can’t blame anyone for wanting to witness it firsthand.
My problem is that I believe some of our public spaces are sacred. And unlike many of the great powers that came before us, these American monuments belong to all of us. Not to whoever happens to hold power at the moment.
The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any President. It belongs to the people. To treat it as Caesar treated the Colosseum is antithetical to everything our founding fathers fought for.
This is not Rome. Presidents are not emperors doling out bread and circuses for the peasants. The White House is the People’s House. This “celebration” could have happened in any stadium within a stone’s throw of the South Lawn. No one would have had an issue with it.
But that was obviously Donald Trump’s whole point. By holding the event on the South Lawn, what he was saying to the rest of us is:
“This is my house. I own it. I will do with it what I please. I’ll build a colosseum and have the gladiators fight under my gaze. I’ll tear down the East Wing. I’ll pave over the Rose Garden. I’ll cover everything in gold and marble. I’ll erase the names of all the men who came before me.”
The fights were an exhibition of imperial domination, not a celebration of our 250th anniversary as a democracy.
The White House is not Buckingham Palace. It is not the Palace of Versailles. It is not the Forbidden City of Beijing. It does not belong to an emperor, or a king, or a commissar.
The White House belongs to us. All of us. The person who sits behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office is nothing more than an honored guest. A temporary caretaker.
The President is our servant. Not our Caesar.
Respectfully, Hunter
P.S. Cage match between me and Don Jr.? Your call on the venue. Anywhere but the South Lawn.
Eleven years ago today, nine Black worshipers went to Bible study at Mother Emanuel AME Church and never came home. They were shot and killed by a white supremacist who never should have been able to access a gun. One other person was injured and an entire community was irrevocably changed.
Today, my heart is in Charleston and with the victims, survivors, and their families. They deserved better, and I’ll always work to honor them with action.
@arokorol I am an American Jewish woman. My grandfather was Polish. I just found out about the extradition of Jewish Poles in 1968 Poland. Never heard about it and was so sad for the people at that time. Just staggering and we grew up with “Never Again” but it keeps happening.
So…God makes a rainbow when Trump’s name is getting taken off the Kennedy Center and sends thunderstorms to disrupt his hillbilly birthday celebration…but not a single evangelical who sees Jesus in their toast every morning can tell whether these are signs.
@mmpadellan@burtrenaults I bet the guys having to put up the curtain were thinking 🤔 that putting the curtain up was a waste of their time. Even though it was in the evening and on a Friday. They all thought let’s get this job done fast and be out of here
