One thing that isn’t discussed enough by media—
The nonstop insults republicans are throwing at VP Harris are the things they’ve always wanted to say out loud about Black women.
📣As Maya Angelou wisely said, ‘When people show you who they are, believe them the first time.’
🇺🇸Rejecting racism and fascism is patriotism.
🗣️ Silence is not an option, for it emboldens those who thrive on division, hate, and authoritarianism.
📌Historically, broad generalizations like "people coming in from different cultures" sow the seeds for hate speech, ultimately targeting marginalized communities. Furthermore, history demonstrates that other marginalized and underrepresented communities can also become targets.
🚨Never Forget: Hate speech is linked to hate crimes. We cannot ignore this connection.
🎯Additionally, there’s a clear connection between banning DEI initiatives, whitewashing slavery, book bans, voter suppression, criminalizing women's healthcare, normalization of hate speech, and denying the existence of systemic inequities.
📣Lastly, tolerating hate or racism is equivalent to perpetuating hate or racism.
🇺🇸 True patriots defend democracy, equality, and human rights for all.
📣 Together, let's raise our voices against hate, fascism, and apathy.
We Are Not Going Back. Vote🗳️
MAGA’s racist attacks against Haitian-Americans reminds me of Captain Alix Idrache, a US Army helicopter pilot who is also a Haitian immigrant who graduated top of his class at West Point in 2016 with a degree in physics.
“This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore.
A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong. And such a people, deprived of the power to think and judge, is, without knowing and willing it, completely subjected to the rule of lies.
With such a people, you can do whatever you want.”
—Hannah Arendt, German historian and philosopher (1906–1975)
If you're a Trump supporter, there is no respectful disagreement with me.
You're an asshole who wants to enable fascism.
I don't respect you and I never will.
To my Republican colleagues who introduced this sham resolution: You honor me with your enmity.
You flatter me with this falsehood.
Your words tell me that I have been effective in the defense of our democracy, and I am grateful.
@MarkJParkerSr@DeanBaker13@thedailybeast Clearly, you don’t know tax law. I teach it, wrote bestsellers on it.
Please read my Daily Beast and @DCReportMedia pieces and you will see powerful evidence of Trump’s criminal tax evasion.
