BREAKING: In a shocking moment, Trump declares that he is unable to be a President to ALL Americans, as he hates Democrats. "They hate Trump, but I hate them too. I really do, I hate them. I can’t stand them."
What a small, hateful man.
Independence Day is a reminder that America is not the project of any one person. The single most powerful word in our democracy is the word ‘We.’ ‘We The People.’ ‘We Shall Overcome.’ ‘Yes We Can.’ America is owned by no one. It belongs to all citizens. And at this moment in history—when core democratic principles seem to be continuously under attack, when too many people around the world have become cynical and disengaged—now is precisely the time to ask ourselves tough questions about how we can build our democracies and make them work in meaningful and practical ways for ordinary people.
On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.
On the scene at the FSU shooting this Florida State University student calls out Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis:
"I’m gonna call on Governor Ron DeSantis [and] Donald Trump. This stuff keeps going on. We’re praying every day. Praying is good. Spirituality is good. But prayers don’t do much. It’s good for the soul, but is this still happening? I think it is. So we need to make some gun reforms."
Listen to the people!
From our earliest days, Black history has always been American history – and Black folks have profoundly shaped our American culture through music, art, literature, sports, and beyond. One month a year is not sufficient to celebrate the power of the movements and the people who have fought for the rights we enjoy today. That’s something that we have to do each and every day, as we strive to live up to their example and make sure our children and grandchildren remember their stories.
Blake Lively’s ‘Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants’ co-stars America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn and Alexis Bledel release a statement in her support:
“In support of our sister, Blake.”
It's still wild to me that Trump voters said:
Rape is ok.
Racism is ok.
Bigotry is ok.
Pedophilia is ok.
Banning books is ok.
Fascism is ok.
Felony is ok.
Not ok to Trump voters:
Low prescription costs.
Low college tuition.
Homeownership programs.
Business loan programs.
Health insurance access.
Healthcare.
Lower child care costs.
Clean air.
Clean water.
Higher wages.
Chip manufacturing companies.
Infrastructure.
Expanded Veteran benefits.
Research…
Then they get mad when we point out how stupid they are.

If you’ll force a woman to die from sepsis before giving her miscarriage care, you are not pro-life.
If you’ll deny a starving child a free meal at school, you are not pro-children.
If you’ll ban history lessons, you are not pro-education.
If you’ll incorporate the Bible into your public schools while banning books about earthworms, you’re not pro-parents rights.
If you’ll elect an adjudicated rapist, business fraud, coup-plotting felon to the presidency, you are not pro- women, pro-business, pro-democracy or pro-justice.
What you are… is full of shit.
So…
A convicted felon is going to cut crime?
A rapist is going to protect women?
A pathological liar is going to stand for truth?
An unrepentant racist is going to unite the races?
A man who filed 3 bankruptcies is going to help businesses?
A man who incites riots is going to keep the peace?
Make it make sense.
“Sometimes the fight takes awhile. That doesn’t mean we won’t win. The important thing is don’t ever give up.”
— Kamala Harris during her concession speech.
