Tulsa announces reparations for the 1921 ‘Black Wall Street’ massacre It took decades of research by historians and journalists — and reports by state and federal commissions — to uncover the violence that claimed more than 300 Black lives.

The city of Tulsa, home to one of the most horrifying racial-terror massacres in U.S. history and the people who tried to cover it up, has announced a $105 million reparations package.

DOGE has seized access to huge troves of sensitive personal and national security information – and can’t even set up its own website securely.

When DOGE fails to protect that data, it puts us all in danger.

@repstansbury.bsky.social, @connolly.house.gov and I are pushing back.

They voted for Trump, but now they're losing their U.S. government jobs — Los Angeles Times They voted for Donald Trump for president, but now they're losing government jobs. They wonder why Trump and Elon Musk aren't focusing on real waste and inflation.

I mean, they wanted chaos.

An image featuring Admiral Lisa Franchetti in her formal Navy uniform saluting, alongside text highlighting her distinguished 40-year naval career, including commanding a destroyer, two carrier strike groups, and the U.S. Sixth Fleet. The text then contrasts her extensive experience with her reported firing by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, identified as a Fox News weekend host. The source of the information is credited to the New York Times, with "COURIER" branding in the top right corner. The highlighted portion of the text emphasizes the contrast between her career and the circumstances of her dismissal.

Let’s face it. Getting rid of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is to make way for less qualified white men to take positions they don’t deserve.

I’ve seen way too many MAGA traitors who call themselves Christians praying for the #Pope’s death saying it’s Jesus taking revenge out on him for standing up to Trump. Mass delusion.

Washington Post opted not to publish anti-Musk ad campaign after initially being open | CNN Business The Washington Post scrapped an upcoming print ad from a pair of advocacy groups calling for the firing of Elon Musk as head of the Department of Government and Efficiency.

“The advocacy groups had signed a contract with the Post …. When the advocacy group asked the Jeff Bezos-owned outlet whether there was anything they could do to alter the wrap to make it more suitable, they were simply told that the Post could not run it.”

"Trump has dementia."
"Elon has autism."
"Kanye is bi-polar."

Stop blaming their Nazi shit on mental conditions. Stop making excuses for them. They're just really shitty people.
