Leave it to South Park to boil it down. Trump wants $200 BILLION for Trump's Iran war while thousands of Americans lost their medical insurance. Choose a side: bombs or beds, missiles or medicine. #FundHealthcareNotWar

Ben Gvir is stuck on bad agreements, human life and animals.🤔 “A bad agreement for the State of Israel can harm human life... A bad agreement will not happen. It cannot happen because in the end the agreement is bad. It has nothing to do with the elections or with animals.”

Who knew it was still even possible to stand out for vulgarity in America?

Again, please share. In every aspect of American history you will run smack dab into the critical contributions of Black people. It’s not Black history. It’s American history. Trying to erase it is a fool’s errand. We live it every day. time.com/5836444/blac...

The rush to silence Black voters ahead of the 2026 election is stone cold racism. It's Jim Crow 2.0.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

It's not just that the FBI director is acting like a spoiled child; he keeps repeating the dumb lie that Van Hollen was "drinking margaritas with a felon" when he visited Kilmar Abrego Garcia. As a reminder, it was a stunt from the El Salvador regime, who put sugar-rimmed glasses on the table.

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

Last month in Virginia, the people made their voices heard at the ballot box and voted for new Congressional maps. Today, the Virginia Supreme Court ignored the will of the people and overturned those democratically chosen maps.

EXCLUSIVE: In 2022, a Georgia grand jury investigated Trump’s alleged interference in the 2020 election. It heard from more than 60 witnesses. For years, the full record of what those witnesses said under oath has remained hidden from public view. Until now. www.lawfaremedia.org/projects-ser...
