@michelle_byoung I was a Black deb, as was my mom before me. My son will be presented in a beautillion this weekend, and my niece will be presented as a deb next year. The tradition is still going strong
@deathbynaija@kristenashley__ Indy absolutely is the city of Indianapolis. Naptown is the most commonly used nickname of black folks, but Indy is the more widely used name for the city. People would look at you strange if you referred to the state as Indy, lol
Family of Alex Pretti, who was shot dead in Minneapolis today, releases statement:
"The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs."
@Justice4ADOS@KamalaHarris My Black American grandparents (3 generations removed from slavery) travelled internationally quite frequently in the 60s and 70s. Just because your parents were broke doesn't mean everyone's were 🤷🏾♀️
I highly doubt Kamala would’ve snatched y’all SNAP and EBT benefits, unleashed ICE into cities like it’s The Purge, and shut down the government so long people are quitting, not getting paid & flights are cancelling.
Y’all said Trump was better tho 🤷🏽♂️
I'm not on food stamps. I don't get Medicaid. I rely on no Social Safety nets. But I still believe in fully funding these programs. Why?
Because I'm not a selfish garbage person.
@stephenasmith@ChrisCuomo@SIRIUSXM Why are you here?!?!?!?!?!?!? We don't even want to hear your trash ass sports takes, nevermind what you think about politics.
The Bible says the Antichrist will
— Deceive with religion – he will appear spiritual but actually turn people away from Christ (Matthew 24:24; 1 John 2:22).
— Be a deceiver – he will mislead people while appearing strong or righteous (1 John 2:18, 2 Thessalonians 2:9).
— Exalt himself – he will set himself up as the greatest, boasting and demanding loyalty (2 Thessalonians 2:4).
— Speak blasphemously – he will speak arrogantly and against God (Revelation 13:5–6).
— Be lawless – he will disregard rules, norms, and higher authority (2 Thessalonians 2:3).
— Gain global influence – he will be admired and followed by multitudes (Revelation 13:7–8).
— Use deceptive signs – he will use spectacle to keep people convinced (2 Thessalonians 2:9–10; Matthew 24:24).
The killing of any American for exercising their First Amendment rights is unacceptable. Full stop. It should never happen in this country.
But let’s also be clear: trying to rebrand Charlie Kirk as a “civil rights leader” is disinformation that disrespects the real giants who risked everything to advance equality and justice. Twisting history doesn’t honor their progress it erases it.
BREAKING: Journalist and college professor Stacey Patton goes viral by penning a stunningly powerful statement about how she was on Charlie Kirk’s “digital hit list” and recounting the horror that he inflicted on her.
We cannot allow this tragic assassination to whitewash Kirk’s legacy…
“I am on Charlie Kirk’s hit list,” Patton wrote to her 215,000 followers on Facebook. “His so-called ‘Professor Watchlist,’ run under the umbrella of Turning Point USA, is nothing more than a digital hit list for academics who dare to speak truth to power. I landed there in 2024 after writing commentary that inflamed the MAGA faithful. And once my name went up, the harassment machine roared to life.”
“For weeks my inbox and voicemail were deluged. Mostly white men spat venom through the phone: ‘bitch,’ ‘c*nt,’ ‘n****r.’ They threatened all manner of violence,” she continued.
“They overwhelmed the university’s PR lines and the president’s office with calls demanding that I be fired,” Patton wrote. “The flood was so relentless that the head of campus security reached out to offer me an escort, because they feared one of these keyboard soldiers might step out of his basement and come do me harm.”
“And I am not unique,” she added.
“Kirk’s Watchlist has terrorized legions of professors across this country. Women, Black faculty, queer scholars, basically anyone who challenged white supremacy, gun culture, or Christian nationalism suddenly found themselves targets of coordinated abuse,” Patton wrote.
“Some received death threats. Some had their jobs threatened. Some left academia entirely. Kirk sent the loud message to us: speak the truth and we will unleash the mob!” she continued.
“That is the culture of violence Charlie Kirk built. He normalized violence. He curated it, monetized it, and sicced it on anyone who dared to puncture his movement’s lies,” she wrote.
“And now, in the wake of his shooting, there’s all this national outpouring of mourning, moments of silence, yellow prayer hands, and tributes painting him as a civil debater,” Patton continued. “But the truth is that Kirk and his foot soldiers spent years terrorizing educators, trying to silence us with harassment and fear!”
“And now the same violence he unleashed on others has come full circle.”
“But what i find especially jarring is the dissonance in public mourning for a smug white man whose life work was actively hostile to certain groups,” she continued. “Kirk spent years demonizing LGBTQ people, mocking gun survivors, spewing racism about Black folks, and pushing policies that literally shorten lives.”
“It is so revolting to watch a bipartisan wave of grief sweep over this hateful racist as if he was a neutral community servant,” she concluded.
This is pure unvarnished truth from Patton. Charlie Kirk did not deserve what happened to him, but nor did his victims deserve the hell that he unleashed on them. If Americans are going to build a more peaceful future for ourselves we must condemn political violence while also condemning the hateful, bigoted rhetoric that made Kirk a multimillionaire.
Please retweet and ❤️ if Patton’s message struck a chord with you!
