@Arightside You are so caught in parties that you are blind. This is not D’s & R’s this is right and wrong. Jasmine Crockett fights for the people while the GOP sits on their hands and does not do their job.
@Arightside You love pushing propaganda. But you have nothing to say about the corruption of this administration. Alveda King doesn’t have to be used by anyone she volunteers. The FBI has done this for years infiltrated organizations and destroyed them from within. (Cont)
Yes Charles! It’s time for people to stop using disinformation and misinformation. Either the person told the truth or they told a lie. They should have to say in my opinion when they have no facts. @CharlesMBlow thank you!
I feel strongly about this: journalists have an ethical responsibility to call these election lies what they are. We just stop hiding behind the euphemistic “without proof.” Or democracy is fragile and under assault. Patrician journalistic niceties serve no one is a moment of crisis, not even journalism. We are called to reveal and convey truth. It starts with every interaction. It starts in the moment. It starts to their faces. It feels good to be free to do what I think is right.
@SenatorTimScott This narrative is tired Tim Scott. Why don’t ya’ll work on something meaningful like funding the ACA! After all we pay for your healthcare!
@DemocraticWins You were not saying anything before you lost your primary. Where’s the bill to renew the ACA supplements. You voted for the Big Ugly Bill. Where was this passion then.
I’m reminded of the rage of people like Frederick Douglass when SCOTUS said the 13th & 14th amendments did not prevent racism when racist acts are committed by individuals. This is how today’s SCOTUS helps the Project 2925 goal of rebuilding the slave era legal framework.
@ProfJeffries You are absolutely right my brother! He knows nothing about Black People,. He is so blind that when he invited Laura from Fox on his show and she told him to his face how she felt about him he didn’t get it! But he thinks he better than us!
@donnabrazile To hear them tell it, allowing Black people to have two voting districts out of six (6) is discriminatory. We live in a colorblind society.
@Arightside The FBI did and does the same thing from J. Edgar Hoover and on. That is how they get evidence and build cases. You don’t know history or you prefer to ignore it!
These four Black men are the only Black people elected to serve in Congress from Louisiana since the 1870s.
Louisiana has elected more than 170 white men to Congress during that same period. Yet today, a corrupt Supreme Court, a puppet governor, and a weak-backed legislature have decided to strip elected power from Black people.
That means other people decide how our tax dollars are invested in our communities.
I spoke with @repcleofields_, @reptroycarter, former Rep. @cedric_richmond, and former Rep. William Jefferson about why they went to the Louisiana State Capitol to testify against the congressional maps being pushed through.
For years, I’ve been saying what happens in Louisiana will impact America. Here we are.
This week, the Louisiana House of Representatives plans to pass maps that dilute Black voting power.
Our response cannot be silence. Our response has to be showing up in numbers this November and beginning the work of taking power back.
Keep posting this so people don’t forget how truly bad this event was.
Don’t let people gaslight you into thinking it was peaceful and worthy of 1500+ pardons and slush fund payoffs.
