😱😱😱 And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media.
A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.

In Texas, Karmelo Anthony was convicted after acting in self-defense during a confrontation that ended in the death of a white teenager. The jury rejected his self-defense claim. In South Carolina, Rick Chow was acquitted after chasing and shooting 14-year-old Cyrus Carmack-Belton in the back, claiming he was defending his son. The jury accepted that defense
The legal facts of these cases are different. The circumstances are different. But the outcome leaves us asking the same question: Why does self-defense seem easier to recognize when the person pulling the trigger isn’t Black?
A Black teenager fearing for his life is seen as a criminal. A grown man who chases a Black child and shoots him in the back is seen as a reasonable citizen.
For generations, Black people have watched courts, juries, media outlets, and politicians extend the benefit of the doubt to others while denying it to us. We have watched Black children be treated as threats and Black victims be placed on trial after their deaths. Black fear is discounted, Black humanity is questioned, and Black lives are afforded less grace by a system that promises equal justice under the law.
Justice cannot be color-coded. Self-defense cannot depend on the race of the person making the claim. And equal protection under the law cannot remain a slogan that Black people in American never fully experience.
Rep.Justin Pearson is the new future of the Democratic Party and I hope that he is following in the foot steps of the Iconic & Legendary Civil Rights Activist & Congressman John Lewis in rising up against those that are trying to take away the God given rights of all black people

This is why lifetime positions in the Supreme Court must be abolished. All it took to take America back to the days of Jim Crow was six woefully out of touch conservative Supreme Court justices to gut The Civil Rights Act. Women have lost autonomy over their bodies and Black people have lost their representation in congress.
Spread this photo far and wide - because the media isn't doing its job in telling the story about an increasingly unhinged president who is unfit to serve.

BREAKING: Protesters in Hungary have flooded the streets in open defiance of Viktor Orbán and his ally Vladimir Putin demanding an end to creeping authoritarianism.
Mainstream media is barely touching it. Let’s make sure the world sees it.
In 1946 WWII veteran Maceo Snipes was shot in his back by the KKK the day after he became the first Black person to cast a vote in Taylor County, Georgia.
After he was shot, Mr. Snipes walked three miles to the hospital with his mother. For six hours doctors left him waiting and bleeding. By the time he was seen, he needed a blood transfusion. The doctors said the hospital had no “black blood.” Snipes died two days later.
This is why I will vote in every election. The day I stop voting is the day I stop breathing. #DemsUnited #BlackHistoryWithLana
