At some point, let's say last Wednesday, Black people are going to have to start seriously evaluating the pathology of #racism in white America and the abject failure of white motherhood. #Trump secured 70 million votes because racism is bred in the identity of whiteness.

#wtf are you saying? 🤣

I’ve been saying this for the better part of a decade: Joe Biden killed Black Lives Matter.

Democrats said it was the price for beating Trump, and everyone, including Black voters, said: okay!

And it wasn’t even true.

Now it’s happening again all for a handful of DSA electeds.

Bodycam footage shows a mother being handcuffed during a traffic stop while her children were inside the vehicle. She said she wanted to keep the rear window up to protect them from the heat and sun, and repeatedly asked why she was being arrested.

It has been reported that she has decided to sue.

After seeing videos like this—and so many others where people’s dignity and rights appear to be violated—the question remains: do we, as citizens, even have the right to protect our children anymore?

What he👇🏾said

“The reason the majority of racists in this country are white males from low-income brackets with low educations, simply put, is that they're pissed off because they couldn't win a race that was literally rigged in their fucking favor all because they were born straight white males.”

🚨 Racist HOA board member follows a Black man through his own neighborhood park, claiming he did not belong and confronts him while he’s with his kids and service dog, then claims he “assaulted” her.

Thankfully He was filming the entire interaction.

She didn’t just complain. She followed him, escalated, and tried to turn a normal afternoon in his own community into an assault accusation.

This is what happens when racists believe a park in their neighborhood still requires permission based on skin color.

We won’t post anything but this video for 24 hours. It’s horrific. Unconscionable. This #Haitian man is devastated by state-sanctioned and carried out dehumanization and injustice.

AOC on Hasan Piker: "Much hay was made about the fact that we lost young men in the last election. Many of the same consultants that are wringing their hands today were the same ones talking about how we have to go on Joe Rogan and not be so willing to engage in cancel culture."

Bernie Sanders on GOP attacks on El-Sayed: "These guys have nothing to say about the major crises facing our country. All they can do is appeal to racism, we're 'communist,' all kinds of nonsense like that."

This cruelty has no need but cruelty. Haiti remains deeply dangerous; a country in the throes of anarchy since the events of 2021.

Hundreds of thousands of people are SAFE. They are safe. They are safe here and our nation has decided to make them unsafe. And for what?

Maria Bartiromo on Democrats pointing out that the economy is not great: "That's just propaganda. I mean, look, things are going well. And I think we're all feeling it. I've spoken with a number of CEOs ... "

On July 4th, remember this:

ICE is one of the most unconstitutional, anti-American forces to operate in the USA in our lifetime.

We built https://t.co/du9bv2U4pY to help people fight back lawfully, constitutionally, and without panic: https://t.co/Txyhf9LSil

Help us get it into the hands of every immigrant, every ally, and every real patriot who understands that questioning your leaders is one of the most patriotic things you can do.

Happy birthday America!

The white nationalist group Patriot Front marched through Washington D.C.

They hid thier faces and carried confederate flags.

This is as un-American as it gets.

Sad.

Isn't it funny how racists hate to be called racist?

[Bishop Talbert Swan @TalbertSwan]

On July 4, 1776, while white America celebrated its declaration of independence, approximately 500,000 enslaved Africans and their descendants remained in chains in the thirteen colonies. They made up roughly 20% of the colonial population of 2.5 million people, human beings denied the very liberty proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence.

📹Press play and let the song speak truth.

For my ancestors, there was no freedom to celebrate. There was no liberty. There was no justice. There was no equality. They were bought, sold, raped, whipped, branded, exploited, and treated as property while a nation declared that “all men are created equal.”

Today, there is a determined effort to sanitize that history, to pretend slavery was merely an unfortunate chapter, that enslavers were simply “men of their time,” and that the brutality of chattel slavery should be viewed through a softer lens. No. There is nothing ordinary about owning another human being. There is nothing admirable about building wealth and a nation on stolen labor, stolen lives, and stolen futures.

We do not celebrate July 4 because we were not free. Independence Day was not independence for Black people. Our ancestors remained enslaved for nearly another century. Then came Black Codes, Jim Crow, racial terror lynchings, legalized segregation, disenfranchisement, redlining, mass incarceration, and the ongoing struggle to be recognized as fully human. Our fight for freedom did not end in 1776, or even in 1865. In many ways, it continues today.

That is why Frederick Douglass asked, “What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?” His question still confronts America’s conscience.

So today I ask another question:

What to Black people today is the Fourth of July?

Until liberty, justice, and equality are more than promises on paper, it remains a day that reminds us not only of America’s stated founding ideals, but of America’s unfinished work to actualize them 250 years later.
