β€œIt is very disturbing that anyone, much less the President of the United States…should see racist memes as humorous or appropriate expressions of political discourse," Weisenberger said…they are "deeply offensive and must be condemned in the strongest terms."

Why isn’t every politician, leader, prosecutor, and news channels focused on this. The President is accused with significant proof of killing and raping minors.

"It is our conviction that a person's willingness to accept the Negro as fully equal to the white both as a citizen and as a Christian is the acid test of his Americanism and his Christianity."

People in white bodies must wrestle
with the ideas of racism & white supremacy.
Denying its existence is not a magic wand.
They exist & we are still suffering & dying
because of it. If you want to be liberated,
lean into the discomfort of truth & reality.
Our mutual liberation is connected.

NO PLANTING TREES ON THE NEW YEAR OF THE TREES

the mechanisms of apartheid control and its disregard for human life, dignity, safety, freedom---

God foribid people have a tree. God forbid an olive.

This is the height of irresponsible gun ownership. Always assume curious children will find guns and store them unloaded, locked, and separate from ammunition.

Opinion | How Much Can One Man Make From Being President? The president took an oath to serve the American people. Instead, he’s focused his second term on enriching himself and his family.

Americans are being crushed by tariffs and the Republican healthcare crisis, but Trump keeps getting richer.

In one year, his for-profit presidency made his family $1.4 BILLION through foreign deals, crypto sales, and even a Qatari jet he plans to keep.
