"Each time the Pride flag was ripped down from Laura Ann Carleton's storefront, she put up an even bigger one," @AymanM eulogizes a beloved Californian & fierce ally of the LGBTQ community who was gunned down after a dispute over her support for gay and trans Americans.
Eric can claim his family didn’t enrich themselves while in the White House… but here are the facts:
Jared Kushner — $2 BILLION from the Saudis.
Ivanka and Jared— $640 MILLION “working” at the White House.
Ivanka — 18 trademarks from China.
Don Jr. and Eric trump—$100 MILLION in Trump Org. real estate sales including one deal that Secretary of HUD Ben Carson had to approve.
Don Jr. and Eric trump— MILLION trump Park Avenue penthouse sale at 13 % more than comparable unit sales a year earlier.
And that’s not including insane profits made on trump resorts and hotels for secret service and foreign dignitaries while he was POTUS.
the trump presidency was and remains the biggest grift in history.

No one is above the law. For two decades, Justice Thomas failed to report millions in gifts. Today, we asked DOJ to investigate Thomas for violating the Ethics of Government Act of 1978. We are joined by Ranking Members Nadler & Raskin, and Judiciary Members Lieu & Hank Johnson.
Let’s take a moment to remember Kalief Browder - sent to Rikers Island as a teenager for allegedly stealing a backpack to await trial with no Bond.
Three years in prison being abused awaiting trial for something he never did.
Two of those years in solitary confinement, but by all means tell me how Trump and minions are being treated unfairly.
The audacity of Charlie Kirk saying that Black men will vote for Trump just because Trump has a mugshot. Cuz ya know, Black men can relate.
Did I mention when Kalief was finally cleared and freed he committed suicide two years later due to the trauma he experienced?
Racist trash. All of them. #FreshResists
28 August 1936 | A French Jewish girl, Annette Korenblum, was born in Paris.
She arrived at #Auschwitz on 23 August 1942 in a transport of 1,000 Jews deported from Drancy. She was among 892 of them murdered in gas chamber after the selection.
"Look, at the end of the day, the governor has blood on his hands ... We have repeatedly told him what his rhetoric was going to do, and that is exactly what transpired ..."
— Florida State Rep. @AngieNixon (D), who represents Jacksonville, on DeSantis' condemnation of shooter
Column | The banners hung over interstates, the hateful images broadcast in light displays on our high-rises, the symbols we refuse to let go, the rhetoric, ever devolving — it was all there, right in front of our noses, that terrible tapestry we made.

Tennessee House subcommittee members had state troopers physically remove gun safety activists who quietly held signs from a hearing.
We bow down to this woman who - visibly shaking - said: “You will have to drag me out.”
Moms will win.
R's have criminalized abortion.
But if you take an AR-15 into an elementary school and leave children slaughtered on the floor, Republicans don't see any reason to stop it from happening again.
That's because the NRA uses money they don't pay taxes on, to bribe them not to.
🇺🇸 @JessicaTarlov: “Trump was indicted in 4 jurisdictions around this country by juries of regular Americans. This wasn’t Joy Reid & Rachel Maddow sitting there — it was regular people who listened to the evidence.”
I’m torn between the impulse to assure people that MAGA fascists are a minority in this country and the need to remind people that so were the Nazis in 1932.
Raw numbers don’t matter as much as activism. Get involved in the defense of democracy.
Welcome to Florida: where your children will be forced to carry their rapists’ babies but are forbidden to learn why white supremacists with AR-15s commit mass shootings that target black people.
Excuse me for saying this, but fuck Ron DeSantis for promoting a culture of white nationalism & fascism. Fuck Ron DeSantis for loosening gun laws. Fuck Ron DeSantis for caring more about his campaign than his people. He’s everything wrong with politics. We must make him find out.
Jones: I want to say to the people of America, do not accept thoughts and prayers from one of these politicians in Florida who have passed this proliferation of guns in their community. That is unacceptable. We need to hold them accountable
Active, open, constant Nazi, Klan, white supremacist activity in North Florida has been met with a shrug from too many in and out of Florida government.
The algorithms of radicalization machine grinds on, always activating the lost boys.
