When Donald Trump was asked how 1,000 Americans dying a day could possibly mean Covid was “under control” he said, “it is what it is.”
So forgive me if I don’t give a flying fuck about how hard it is to sit in a cold courtroom.

When a military widow was mourning the loss of her husband, Trump told her “he knew what he had signed up for.”
So forgive me if I don’t give a fuck about how embarrassing it is to trend for publicly passing gas in the middle of publicly passing out.

While a rabid mob of Trump crazed zombies beat our Capitol police with their own shields, tased them and sprayed them with chemicals, he sat and watched it unfold on tv.
So forgive me if I don’t give a fuck about how much endurance sitting in a chair with your mouth shut requires.

When a beautiful young boy nicknamed “Smiley” was murdered in his school, Trump said we had to “get over it.”
So forgive me if I don’t give a fuck about how challenging it is to stay awake when grownups are discussing the crimes you committed.

When a young woman was killed, Trump lied about personally speaking with her family because he didn’t actually give a shit about any of them & just wanted to use her death for fear mongering propaganda.
So forgive me if I don’t give a fuck about him maybe missing his trophy wife’s kid’s graduation.

He golfed and tweeted while refrigerator trucks piled up with bodies. He ate lunch while the men and women defending our Capitol were nearly crushed to death. He joked when Paul Pelosi was attacked by a man with a hammer. He has intentionally stoked, poked, primed and prodded the cult to commit acts of violence against his foes and their families. He’s pardoned some of the most viscous, evil creatures on earth while praising despots & dictators as being “strong” at the same time. He fell “in love” with Otto Warmbier’s murderer, and became BFF’s with Khashoggi’s.
So please forgive me if I don’t give a single, solitary flying fuck about how much personal fortitude it requires for him to sit his criminal conman, racist, rapist fat ass down in a goddamn chair in between feeding times four fucking times a week.

Because I really, really do not give a motherfucking fuck about how “hard” he thinks he has it because at this particular moment in time, the worst consequence he’s ever faced for his lifetime of depravity, is to have to sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up for a couple of hours a couple of days a week.

Forgive me but I just can’t seem to find a single goddamn fuck to give.

Interesting that @TMZ was hoping there was a “deathbed confession” from O.J. Simpson, who was acquitted in a jury trial, yet never mentioned the fact that Carolyn Donham Bryant, the woman who caused the murder of Emmett Till and lied on the witness stand to protect his murderers, actually did confess to her perjury, yet was never arrested or charged.

Republicans are running around saying that Trump has “street cred” and that Black men will be the new Republican voting block. That Trump support is growing among the Black Community.

We have not forgotten that Trump lied and called two Black women “ballot hustlers.”

We have not forgotten that Trump called for the execution of CP5.

We have not forgotten that he called Black women dogs.

We have not forgotten that Trump called Black men sons of “bitches.”

We have not forgotten that Trump is the execution king.

We have not forgotten “shit hole countries.”

Also, it is not lost that Republicans are equating having a mugshot with Black men.

Republicans don’t hide their racism. #VoteLikeBlackWomen #DemsUnited

In April 2022, Kyle Semrau, a father of two, returned home from an overnight shift feeling slightly light-headed.

Deciding to take it easy the next day, he was joined by his 4-year-old son, Caleb, and 6-year-old daughter, Macie.

Later that day, Kyle encountered a sudden medical emergency in the basement of their home, during which he experienced bouts of unconsciousness.

In the basement, Macie discovered him. Demonstrating remarkable composure for her age, she successfully obtained her father's phone passcode while he briefly regained consciousness.

Then, she opened the browser, typed 'Elliot poliz', and hit the call button.

Within two minutes the officers arrived at the address and took Kyle to the hospital.

Kyle was then transported to the Hospital, where he spent three days recuperating.

"She is, and will always be my hero," Kyle commented.

James and Jennifer Crumbley, have been sentenced to 10-15 years

The Crumbley’s ignored their son’s mental health needs and gave him a gun

Their son, killed 4 students at Oxford High School.

In a victims impact statement, the mother of Madisyn Baldwin, said, "You said you wouldn't do anything different, well that really says what type of parent you are, because there's a lot of things I would do differently." 🔥🔥

"But the one thing I would have wanted to be different was to take that bullet that day so she could continue to live the life she deserved." 🥺

The mother of Justin Shilling, gave her statement, "If only your Honor, they would have taken their son to get counseling instead of buying him a gun.... I wouldn't be standing here today." 🥺

Justin’s father said, “"The cold truth that shows that they did nothing to address the obvious signs of a deteriorating mental state of mind clearly present within their son and of course, the very hard truth that shows that they provided their son with exactly what he wanted to use to do what he did, and failed miserably to secure it." 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Sister of Hanna said, "The fact is no matter what you try to make yourself believe Jennifer, you did fail as a parent, both of you."🔥

Hanna’s father said, "They chose to stay quiet, they chose to ignore the warning signs, and now, as we've heard through all the objections, they continue to choose to blame everyone but themselves."🔥🔥🔥🔥

They were both convicted of involuntary manslaughter.

They will receive credit for 858 days served

Their son is serving life in prison without parole 🔥🔥

Mahatma Gandhi the Racist. While living in South Africa, Mahatma Gandhi described black Africans as “savage,” “raw” and living a life of indolence and nakedness.

•He routinely expressed "disdain for Africans," and he also campaigned relentlessly to prove to the British rulers that the Indian community in South Africa was superior to native black Africans.

•One of the first battles Gandhi fought after coming to South Africa was over the separate entrances for whites and blacks at the Durban post office.

•Gandhi obiected that Indians were "classed with the natives of South Africa," who he called the kaffirs, and demanded a separate entrance for Indians.

•In a petition letter in 1895, Gandhi also expressed concern that a lower legal standing for Indians would result in degenerating "so much so that from their civilised habits, they would be degraded to the habits of the aboriginal Natives, and a generation hence, between the progeny of the Indians and the Natives, there will be very little difference in habits, and customs and thought."

On this day in 1968, Bobby Hutton, an original member of the Black Panther Party was shot dead by the Oakland police, unarmed. He was only 17 years.

After being bombed with tear gas and trapped in a burning basement, he came out shirtless to prove he was unarmed and the police immediately shot him 12 times and he died.

He was only 17 years.

-Robert James Hutton also known as "Lil' Bobby” born on April 21, 1950 and at 16-years old he became the first member and the first treasurer of the Black Panther Party. Hutton met Black Panther Party founders Huey Newton and Bobby Seale at the North Oakland Neighborhood Anti-Poverty Center, a "government-funded agency that employed local youth to work on community service projects.
On April 6, 1968, two days after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and with riots raging across cities in the U.S., Hutton was traveling with Eldridge Cleaver and other BPP members in a car. The group were stopped by two Oakland Police officers and had a confrontation. The two police officers were shot. Hutton and Cleaver fled to an apartment building where they engaged in a 90-minute gun battle with the Oakland Police Department. Some incoming bullets had also caught fire. Ultimately, Cleaver was wounded, and Hutton voluntarily surrendered to avoid getting burnt alive. According to Cleaver, although Hutton had stripped down to his underwear and had his hands raised in the air to prove that he was unarmed, Oakland Police shot the 17 year old Hutton more than 12 times, leading to his death. The Police report claimed that Hutton was attempting to run and was wearing a trench coat and his hands were not visible.
