WHEW!!!: “We [Black ppl] made America look ‘civilized.’ We made it look like ‘progress’ was possible. And then Trump came along..Now the world sees it, live & unfiltered: the arrogance, the racism, the authoritarianism—all of it, on full display.” A. WORD.👇🏽 www.instagram.com/reel/DQcm6v9...

The whole lot of them spent Jan. 6th lying about what happened 5 years ago. Why should anyone expect them to start telling the truth on January 7th?

Exactly this.👇🏽 They won’t even acknwldg that there was only ONE racial grp of voters whose maj of those who voted, voted FOR the candidate who ran on a white supremacist ideology platform. They will fight anyone acknwldgng that #FACT. Certainly they will bury that when they rewrite history of it.

So, ICE just shot two more people, this time in Portland: oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2026/01/08/f...

So, Home Depot & Lowe are cooperating with ICE by using license plate readers in their parking lots & then sharing that info with ICE & law enforcement?

So — NOT the Constitution.😶 HE. COULD. NOT. BE. ANY. CLEARER. www.instagram.com/reel/DTROgDJ...

“Trump..asserting..he did not feel held back by international laws..When asked by..reporters if there were limits to his power, [he] replied, ‘Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.’” That is as clear as one can make it.😶 My Afternoon Read:

So, Tump is going to put all the financial proceeds from the sale of Venezuelan oil into OFF-SHORE bank accounts that ONLY HE controls — making those funds unaccountable to the U.S. Treasury? My Afternoon Read: www.defenseone.com/threats/2026...

“The Immigration & Customs Enforcement agent who fatally shot a 37-year-old woman in Minneapolis..is Jonathan Ross..according to a person with knowledge of the case & verified by court documents.” My Evening Read:

Straight, no chaser. Thank you @chrislhayes.bsky.social.

I will never let people forget this. Just know, the Speaker of the House needs to be investigated but never will be.

“They’re just animals. I’ve never seen ppl behave like this.” This is the type of thing Black communities had to endure from white mobs for gens. The lynchings. The rapes. The out-right murders where “law enforcemnt” were overt or covert parts of the mob. This has been #AmeriKKKa for us. So sad.

AMEN & ASHE. Cause too many — including white “liberals” & “progressives” — would rather chastise Black ppl that continue to acknowledge the racializations as “divisive” rather than listening, reflecting, accepting RESPONSIBILITY (which is different than “blame”), & learning. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

The world now looks at Trump and the USA the same way we look at Russia. It’s not a good look! Even if Trump backs off his rhetoric, the damage has been done.

“Trump said in a Truth Social post on Wednesday that he had decided to raise the US's military budget in 2027 from $1 trillion to $1.5 trillion.” Still riding the high of the use of the U.S. military in Venezuela.😶 www.businessinsider.com/trump-raise-...

Exactly this. But #MainstreamMediaIsComplicit😶

ICE is killing American citizens. MASKED MURDERERS.

“Ppl in your communities are the ppl who put him in office.”💯 Black ppl hve experienced ths frm police FOR. GENS. Whn Black ppl were murdered—evn w/ video—U.S. societal “machine” has done wht it is doing now: demonizing victims. Many white ppl backed same machine now doing same to white victims.😢

WE. ALL. SAW. IT. HAPPEN.😶

They're not happy with the US president's actions 😳

“Now the U.S. w/b the only nation in the world..no longer a party 2 the framework.. Pulling out of the framework convention on climate is ‘a strategic blunder tht gives away [U.S.] advntge for nothing..’ ..The withdrawal frm the global climate treaty is ‘a new low’ frm the admin..” My Morning Read:

"We're continuing to be in close coordination w/ the interim authorities & THEIR DECISIONS ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE DICTATED BY THE U.S.A.” Venezuela is sovereign nation whose pres & 1st lady U.S. kidnapped using U.S. military.😶 #ImperialistNation #WhiteSupremacistNation😶 #ThisIsNotADemocracy😶

The Black community was the blueprint on which this type of criminality by authorities was built. White ppl refused to see it THEN. They disavowed what they clearly saw & “backed the blue.”😶 BUT NOW that THEY might be inadvertently targeted & killed? NOW, they are ready to believe. We see you.🫤

Republicans HAVE to hope HE stays in office because THEY are complicit co-conspirators. They are afraid that THEY will ALSO be held accountable if/when he is out of power. They have a lot of motivation to stay this course — besides their adherence to / tolerance of white supremacist ideology.😶

Tim Walz: "What we're seeing is the consequences of governance designed to generate fear, headlines, and conflict. It's governing by reality today and today that recklessness cost someone their life. I've reached out to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and I'm waiting to hear back ... I'm angry."

“They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video..myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is b---s---." ~ Minny Mayor Jacob Frey They ALWAYS try to spin it as “self-defense.” But #MurderIsMurder My Afternoon Read: www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

ALL THIS:

Exactly this (cartoon).👇🏽👇🏽

Exactly one Allied combat fatality happened in Greenland during World War II, and he was a Danish soldier on patrol killed in a firefight with a German weather station crew.

KNOWING U.S. HISTORY IS EVERYTHING. . .:

HEAVY SIGH. VERY HEAVY SIGH. Guess he’ll be working on another very strongly worded letter.😶

IN. SUM:

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

My Morning Read:

So, Aldrich Ames, a former CIA officer who was convicted of spying for Russia, has died in prison. He has been imprisoned for spying for Russia since 1994. Now, more than 20 years later, would an Aldrich Ames have been imprisoned or . . .no??🤔🤔

Media framing is VERY telling, such as their commitment to normalizing the U.S.’s kidnapping of an elected president of a sovereign country by saying that he was “apprehended.” If they are starting with the contextual lie of “apprehension,” how can anyone trust the rest of their story?😶

These lilies look like they have been expertly seasoned with cayenne pepper!!!🌺🌺:

“Trump..mused abt cancelling.. 2026 midterm elections..The remarks made on the 5th anniv of the 1/6 [insurrection], where [his] followers stormed the Capitol, quickly drew attention & sparked fears abt the POTUS's 'dictator' dreams.” He said before 2024 election voters wld nvr have to vote again.😶👇🏽

Thank you Eugene Goodman for saving Democracy during the Capitol insurrection #January6th

"That a Black midwife & maternal health expert died after giving birth in the U.S. is..heartbreaking & unacceptable..Her death underscores the persistent & well-documented reality that Black women..face disproportionate risks during pregnancy & childbirth due to systemic racism & failures in care”😢👇🏽
