Happy 80th birthday to the legendary activist, marxist, scholar and author Angela Davis.
In 1970, she was placed on the FBI 10 Most Wanted List on false charges.
REMINDER: Republicans have NEVER wanted to do anything about the border since Reagan, because it takes away their ability to bitch incessantly about it and fear monger about brown people stealing their votes.
They don't want solutions.
They just want problems.
BREAKING: MAGA Senator Thom Tillis breaks ranks from the Republicans and slams his party's plan to sabotage the border to hurt Biden and help Trump as "immoral."
This is the last thing that Trump needs right now but Tillis refuses to remain silent...
This week, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell made the shocking confession that the bipartisan immigration bill is likely dead because Republicans don't want to "undermine" Trump and he plans to build his 2024 campaign around immigration.
Tillis — who is broadly speaking a far-right monster like so many in his party — has decided that such blatantly corrupt politicking has to be called out.
"I didn’t come here to have the president as a boss or a candidate as a boss. I came here to pass good, solid policy," said Tillis. "It is immoral for me to think you looked the other way because you think this is the linchpin for President Trump to win."
He is, of course, absolutely correct. He is also delusional if he thinks that something like "morality" matters at all to the modern Republican Party.
Trump and his minions will sabotage America time and time again if they think doing so will extract some kind of political advantage for themselves.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that sabotaging this bill is deeply immoral — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

Donald Trump was the first president in 129 years to lose the popular vote twice.
He was the first president in 89 years to lose the presidency, the House and the Senate in a single term.
He was the first president in 28 years to lose re-election.
He lost the most jobs of any president since Herbert Hoover.
He lost the Trump University case, the fake charity case, the NY business fraud case, the E. Jean Carroll sexual assault and defamation case, he lost a lawsuit against The NY Times, lost countless appeals, lost 61 lawsuits related to the 2020 election, lost the state of Georgia three times, lost Pennsylvania, Arizona, Texas & Wisconsin twice, and he even managed to lose 8 times at the friggin Emmy Awards.
He’s under 4 indictments, facing 91 felony charges and to date, he’s been ordered to pay more than a hundred million dollars in penalties with a potential $370 million more in the week ahead where he may also lose his right to engage in the state's real estate industry for life and be barred entirely from doing business in New York.
All of this, while he’s been saying that windmills kill whales, that magnets stop working when wet, that he ran against Obama, that E. Jean Carroll is a political rival and that Nikki Haley was in charge of security on January 6th, for which one could ostensibly make the case that in addition to everything else he’s been losing — he is also losing his damn mind.
He once said there would be so much winning people would get sick of it. When in reality, when it comes to Donald Trump in the last several years, there’s been nothing but losing.
He was right about one thing however — we are sick of it.
And by it, I mean him.
We like former presidents who aren’t losers and at the end of the day, Donald Trump is a loser, maybe the biggest loser in history. Many people say so. The best people.
Believe me.
