A graphic in pink, blue, and green that illustrates how recent many Black History events are to the current day -- ranging from 1619 to 2024.
I'm sure we've all seen the graphic that lays out the United States ' relationship with slavery. It's good, but I never thought it was quite impactful enough. So I made my own.
I've used a few key events, including my birth, to highlight how recent these events are in history.

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

Given how much the decay of Congress is responsible for where we are, I'd really like to see AOC have a 6-year stint in the Senate...

Frost: We just can't trust them to investigate themselves because they've shown us time and time and again that they're not interested in justice and they're interested in covering their own asses from the Epstein investigation to ICE and DHS

I'm as guilty as anyone as hopping on the "trump voters are getting what they deserved... screw them" train. It IS emotionally cathartic.
But rescuing the US from this crime syndicate in power is much more important.
And, in the end, removing this cabal will be the mother of all catharses.

Shouldnβt Senate Dems introduce legislation providing full funding TSA, Coast Guard, FEMA, etc.βand no new funding for ICE and CBP?
Seems like pretty good ground to fight on.

This. It would be really, really great if Democrats would start *consistently* calling out the way that the media is led around like f'ing children by the right-wing hate machine.
Don't just accept the frame. Call out the frame. Force viewers to confront the frame. It's so f'ing basic.

The two No Kings protests (6/14 & 10/18) were among the largest single day protests in history, but we are tallying protests all over the country every day in locally coordinated protests, too, particularly in opposition to ICE - an increasingly large share of the total #.

It's kind of insane: the obvious lane open today in US politics is fiery left populism that vows to restrain & discipline the Epstein class ... but our only left party is run by that same class & its quisling pundits! Something is gonna break.

China is building solar and wind energy capacity equal to 5 nuclear power plants A WEEK, and this guy is using tax dollars to prop up 1800's tech that even the energy companies don't want running anymore. We're goingt o have to jump into an Apollo-program level of electrification post-dipshits.

Love how the presumption here is that the President doesn't know what he's sharing and that's fine and normal.
Sorry, no, if the President doesn't know what he's sending out then that is indisputable proof of gross incompetence, cognitive unfitness, or both.
