Fannie Lou Hamer put her life on the line fighting for the right of Black Americans to vote, at a time when exercising that right could get you beaten, jailed, or killed.
When you hear her speak, remember this is not ancient history.
📌 Democratic National Convention on August 22, 1964
Senator Abdul El-Sayed was asked by a reporter why he campaigned with Obama even though he publicly criticized some of his choices and decisions during his Presidency and his response was perfect
If you watch only one video today, you should watch this edit with @SymoneDSanders from last night, speaking on the 92%.
And when I tell you I’ve watched it three or four times and get choked up every time— this one hits hard.
There’s a massive realignment in America, not about parties, but common sense. Trump Tariffs were stupid. His reckless war is stupid. Driving up healthcare costs is just dumb.
I am going to keep fighting to do big, bold things and so we redeem the American Dream.
Last night, Americans made a clear call for accountability and affordability.
A body politic cannot recover until its harms have been treated and its wounds have been healed. Crimes against our people and our Constitution must be answered for. The historic abuses of the last two years must be prevented from happening again.
American families should be able to thrive, not just survive. Every child should have the chance to live up to his or her full potential. The American Dream must be more than a mirage.
I am confident Democrats can deliver both, and much more.
The post-Trump era begins now.
When Obama was casting his ballot for the 2014 midterms, a man jokingly told the president not to touch his girlfriend, who was voting next to him. Obama then casually roasted the man until he finished voting.😂
We have all watched the way that Donald Trump deals with hecklers at his rallies. Watch how a President with class and dignity deals with them.
"... these guys don't need to go"
My flight was being served by an obviously gay flight attendant, who seemed to put everyone in a good mood as he served us food and drinks.
As the plane prepared to descend, he came swishing down the aisle and told us that "Captain Marvey has asked me to announce that he'll be landing the big scary plane shortly, so lovely people, if you could just put your trays up, that would be super."
On his trip back up the aisle, he noticed this well-dressed and rather Arabic-looking woman hadn't moved a muscle. "Perhaps you didn't hear me over those big brute engines but I asked you to raise your trazy-poo, so the main man can pitty-pat us on the ground."
She calmly turned her head and said, "In my country, I am called a Princess and I take orders from no one."
To which (I swear) the flight attendant replied, without missing a beat, "Well, sweet-cheeks, in my country I'm called a Queen, so I outrank you.
Tray-up, Bitch.
