On International Anti-Corruption Day, it’s worth remembering how Trump has turned the pardon power into a pay-to-play enterprise to reward wealthy donors and political allies while leaving victims in the dust 🧵

Take note, MAGA.

I've posted this a million times, but here is the million-and-first: In 2000, these people were all on GW Bush's "Florida Recount" team: - John "Just Calling Balls and Strikes" Roberts - Brett "Roe is 'Settled Law' " Kavanaugh - Amy "Confirmed 1 week before election" Barrett In 2025 ... they rule

If the President can waive his magic executive order wand & erase a Constitutional amendment, fully passed by the legislature and the states, we are no longer governed of, by, & for the people. The document will belong to one man who can then erase the 22nd & any other that threatens him.

Buckle up everyone--here is my response to the second video in the White House/Hillsdale college series on "American Independence." (spoiler: the second video is every bit as bad as the first one)

Didn't even know this existed. I appreciate your service for the cause. It's worth a read, people, and the thread only covers the first 7 minutes, lol. "I could go on with the errors, but note that all these corrections are only in response to the first seven-minute video."

1990 - The US Golf Association banned racial and gender discrimination.

Klan membership in 22 states increased from 8,000 to 10,000 in the twenty-month period ending in November, 1979, and that the number of sympathizers grew from 30,000 to 100,000.

1966 - Bill Russell was named the coach of the Boston Celtics. He was the first Black head coach in the post-Depression era of any major American sport.

I wondered how our governor would react. We'll see what comes of it all. They may be targeting other cities in NC as well. 💩
