De Niro: I hate to say it, but loving our country is starting to sound like an abused spouse saying they love their abuser.
I can’t love a country that starts stupid and inhumane wars, killing thousands of innocents and indirectly causing the deaths and suffering of millions more.
I can’t love a country that takes healthcare away from millions of people and uses that money to enrich their pals in the Trump-Epstein class.
I can’t love a country that sends out masked militias to shoot citizens in the streets, torture our neighbors, and separate families.
I can’t love a country that’s led by a racist, misogynist, xenophobic tyrant.
And let me just say it: I can’t love a country that’s led by Donald Trump and his sycophant Congress.
@kamztronics@thinkpiecetribe Crazy, because all I see is everyone in the diaspora acting like they don’t understand the concept of black Americans���.but of course everything is always our fault 🙄

It commemorates a specific historical event that happened to a specific people in a specific country.

You actually reduce crime by eliminating poverty. You reduce crime with universal healthcare, public housing, livable wages, and free college. You reduce violence by creating happy, healthy communities that aren’t constantly fighting over basic needs and material resources.
You used to be able to go to the garden shop or hardware store and they’d get excited about your projects/give you pointers and now half the time you ask where something is and are met with a blank stare.
@griotDAMONE They might not like to hear it, but (IMO) majority of men are so used to being willing to fck anyone of the opposite sex, that they assume a gay man wants to fck anyone of the same sex.
