🚨 White teenagers in Florida left their Black friend Marquise to drown in a river while taunting him with slurs and monkey noises from the shore.
Marquise couldn’t swim well and was wearing an ill-fitting child-sized life jacket. A kayaking family rescued him as he feared for his life.
He said his “friends” expected him to swim back alone. This kind of racist behavior is disgusting and should be investigated.

BREAKING: A video has leaked from an immigration detention center believed to be at 31 Hopkins Plaza, in Baltimore Maryland where legal immigrants are not even allowed to bath for over 10 days.
The person speaking Spanish is saying the following:
"Look at how they have us here. Look at how immigration is treating us. There are people here who are legal, there are people who are not legal, there are people who are losing their families. They are kidnapping us. They have us in a warehouse here in Baltimore. They beat us, they beat an older man. We can’t take it anymore. They have kept us here for more than 10 days without bathing and enduring hunger.”
Threatening allies while refusing to lower health care premiums and turning Midwestern cities into battle zones... Americans don't want this and don't have to accept it.
We must use the tool that has been working in more and more situations over the past year: intense political pressure, especially on elected Republicans, to change their behavior.
BREAKING: Texas Governor Greg Abbott deploys the nuclear option for his MAGA cult leader Donald Trump and orders the arrest of the Democrats who are opposing his shocking gerrymandering scheme.
And it gets so much worse...
“Texas House Democrats abandoned their duty to Texans,” Abbott stated. “By fleeing the state, Texas House Democrats are holding hostage critical legislation to aid flood victims and advance property tax relief. There are consequences for dereliction of duty."
“Speaker Dustin Burrows just issued a call of the Texas House and issued warrants to compel members to return to the chamber," he continued. "To ensure compliance, I ordered the Texas Department of Public Safety to locate, arrest, and return to the House chamber any member who has abandoned their duty to Texans. This order will remain in effect until all missing Democrat House members are accounted for and brought to the Texas Capitol."
Over the weekend, Texas House Democrats left the state to deny Republicans quorum to stop them from holding a vote on a new redistricting map that would dilute the votes of Black and latino Texans and create five new Republican-leaning districts. The scheme was hatched after Donald Trump reached out and demanded assistance in holding the U.S. House during the upcoming midterm elections.
Abbott has also absurdly ordered the Texas Rangers to investigate Democrats for "bribery" in relation to donations they are allegedly receiving from donors to help pay for the ludicrous $500 daily fines that have been leveled against them for holding up the Legislature.
“Today, I ordered the Texas Rangers to immediately investigate fleeing Texas House Democrats for potential bribery and any other potential legal violations connected to their refusal to appear for a quorum, conduct business, and cast votes,” said Abbott said. "That investigation should extend to anyone who aided or abetted such potential crimes.”
For their part, Democrats aren't running scared. They're taking a stand.
"Frankly, Democrats say, ‘Come and take it,’" said Texas House Minority Leader Gene Wu during an appearance on CNN after Abbott threatened to strip Democrats of their seats.
"This is not a choice that we take lightly,” Wu added. "To be here in Chicago, we really didn’t have a choice. We tried to negotiate [with] Republicans. We tried to talk to them. We tried to reason with them. We tried to tell them that the public is very angry at what they’re doing, and they simply wouldn’t listen."
“This was the only way we could protect our constituents and protect the state. What they’re doing is not just politics. It’s not just affecting lives. This is going to destroy lives,” he said.
Republicans have now removed their masks completely. They don't believe in democracy on a fundamental level and will gladly strip away our right to vote if it means they can remain in power a little bit longer. These Democratic lawmakers are putting their freedom and perhaps even their lives on the line for us. They deserve our full-throated support.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you stand with Texas Democrats!
