Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

There’s no daylight between what Candace says here about “the Jews” & what Nazi propagandists & Father Coughlin said about the Jews in the 1930s. Her show is one of the top 5 “conservative” podcasts in the US. She has 5.5 million subscribers on YouTube and 7.3 million followers on X.

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states

For Trump: Seafood towers at Mar-A-Lago

For Americans: Bread lines

SOLUTION:

CRASH Johnson' press conferences.
BRING Adelita Grijalva and a bible.
DEMAND he swear her in right there on live TV.

It's so simple. It'll either get her sworn in or make Johnson stop doing these fucked up lie-filled pressers.
