My Ins premium should be enough

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

If you’re a “senior Democrat” that feels this way, you should absolutely retire and make space for true leadership that refuses to resign themselves to fascism.

This kind of leadership is functionally useless to the American people. Retire.

[Tim Wise @timjacobwise]

So, it's one of theirs. Not Antifa, not BLM, not an undocumented person, not a Muslim, not a Chinese "spy," not a drag queen...none of the people MAGA tells us to fear. But some folks out here insisting we need to "lower the temperature of the rhetoric on both sides?" Huh?

[Malcolm Nance @MalcolmNance]

NOW HEAR THIS:

1) NONE OF YOU know the facts of this shooting. Please. STFU. ALL OF YOUSE.

2) THIS INCIDENT IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR ANY AMERICAN. EVER.

3) LEAVE THE INVESTIGATION TO THE FBI.

4) EVERYONE SIT TF DOWN & DOUBLE STFU.

5) NO ONE EVEN THINK ABOUT REVENGE OR RETALIATION. ZIP IT.

6) POLITICOS: Stop telling us who “now won” the election. None of you know jack shit. Zero.

[Boston Smalls @smalls2672]

Best take I've seen so far in regards to Trump's assination attempt.

[2RawTooReal @2RawTooReal]

This is what leadership looks like 💯 empathy, caring & compassion. Apparently it was not staged and an innocent person lost their life. Thank you President Biden

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

OMG, the young crowd in Detroit, MI cheered President Biden for a long time before chanting nonstop "DON'T YOU QUIT!"

Chills. 🥹

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

I’m voting for this guy.

[Adam Parkhomenko @AdamParkhomenko]

When right-wing scum tried to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer, Republicans made excuses.

When a lunatic beat Paul Pelosi with a hammer, they made jokes.

And when Trump sent a mob to attack the Capitol, they made up lies.

Don’t lecture us about condemning violence.

[Paul @politicalPaul62]

@Bakari_Sellers He won the debate. No one wins anything by lying!

[Bakari Sellers @Bakari_Sellers]

Biden ain’t going nowhere. It’s June. Let go of your pearls and dry your bed. He lost a debate. Bad.

But it’s June.

You’re not replacing him. So leave your random combinations in your chats. You’re not nominating Gretch or Gavin or Wes over Kamala. Stop it.

Organize. Vote. We are winning every swing state senate race and gubernatorial race (NC). Relax.

Choice is Trump, Biden or couch.

I choose Joe.

Night. Night.

BREAKING: Major Trump ally, Lindsey Graham says if Trump is elected, Republicans will pass a federal abortion ban. Retweet to ensure every American knows what is at stake in 2024.

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

Mexico abolished slavery in 1829. Enslaved people were escaping to Mexico. The U.S. tried to get Mexico to sign a fugitive slave treaty to return escapees but Mexico refused to sign such a treaty, insisting that enslaved people were free once they set foot on Mexican soil.

—Did you know that Juneteenth is also celebrated in a part of Mexico?
Nacimiento Mexico was once home to thousands who escaped slavery in the US. As many as 10,000 slaves followed a clandestine Southern Underground Railroad to Mexico.

—To date, many Black Mexicans from the Texas area retrace a portion of the same route their African American ancestors followed in 1850 when they escaped slavery.

—Descendants of slaves who escaped across the southern border observe Texas’s emancipation holiday with their own unique traditions in the village of Nacimiento.

—Slave hunters would patrol the southern border for escapees, led by the Texas Rangers but the Mexican army would be there waiting for them (the slave hunters) to turn them away.

It's always interesting to look at IMDB and discover how few Black people wrote for shows like The Jeffersons, Good Times" or even The Cosby Show.

Even when you see Black people on TV, their words are usually written in white writers' rooms staffed by white showrunners.

[M LeMont @MisterSalesman]

We are not the same. Period. During a debate, a lecturer argued that the Soviet Union and the United States were both superpowers and morally equivalent. His opponent, William F. Buckley, vehemently disagreed and instantly replied: 'That is like saying that the man who pushes a little old lady into the path of a bus is morally equivalent to the man who pushes her out of its path because they both push little old ladies around.' The notion of such a thing is absurd, void of reason, and just plain stupid. So, if you believe that President Joe Biden and Donald J. Trump, who is a rapist, a thief, an insurrectionist, a con man, and indicted four times on 91 counts, are the same, then something is wrong with your faculties. fDonaldtrumpf here to the moon. He'll be a convicted criminal soon. NY trial begins March 25.

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

For the record — Donald Trump did not “allegedly” say that Mexicans were rapists, women were dogs, his political opponents were vermin and immigrants were poisoning the blood of our country.

He didn’t allegedly mock a disabled reporter, demean a POW or attack a Gold Star family. He didn’t allegedly brag about grabbing women by the pussy, didn’t allegedly sexually abuse and defame E. Jean Carroll, or cheat on his wife with a porn star and a playmate.

He didn’t allegedly ask Brad Raffensperger to “find” him 11,780 votes, didn’t allegedly tell the Jan 6th crowd to march to the Capitol or agree that the mob was right to want to hang his VP, and he didn’t allegedly wait 3 hours and 7 minutes before stopping the attack.

He didn’t allegedly remove highly classified national security documents from the White House, didn’t allegedly show them to people who had no right to see them, and he didn’t allegedly keep them in his motherfucking bathroom.

He didn’t allegedly make millions in foreign money while president, didn’t allegedly get his daughter dozens of Chinese patents and didn’t allegedly commit decades worth of egregious business fraud in the state of NY.

He actually DID all of those things, while alleging to be a devout family man patriot, while alleging to put America first, while alleging the 2020 election was “stolen” from him and alleging that he is being indicted for the many, many crimes he committed “for you.”

No matter what Trump says, no matter how the media frames & spins the truth, no matter what the angriest, loudest voices want you to believe.
There are the things Trump did, and the things Trump alleges.
We have eyes and ears.
We have facts and we have lies.
And we can never, ever lose sight of the difference between the two.

“There was truth and there was untruth, and if you clung to the truth even against the whole world, you were not mad.”
- George Orwell, 1984

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

According to the pundits, Black voters have fallen out of love with Biden.

But what if I told you Trump's approval among white voters is even LOWER? What if people sometimes vote for candidates they don't necessarily "like?"

Let's make it make sense.
