Lord, have mercy.

As Black history is under attack, literature like Curtis’ is more important than ever. Join me at 11a ET for the latest #VelshiBannedBookClub #Velshi

Only one media outlet is reporting that LA Mayor Karen Bass' mic was turned off during the roundtable with Donald Trump last night.
None of them are reporting that they physically took away her microphone too because she kept trying to fact check him.
Shameful.

On this day in 1879, a Black man named Ben Daniels was arrested on suspicion of theft merely for having a $50 bill. Hours later, a white mob lynched Mr. Daniels and his two sons.

Excerpts from a Columbia Journalism Review article: "Instead, White House reporters say, the Biden team preferred to offer background quotes from in-house experts" and "'For a lot of people, what was the point in even going?' said a veteran White House reporter." and "Trump, on the other hand, adores the attention of the media" and "'Despite his sometimes strident and sometimes even violent rhetoric about the press, he loves talking to us,' the print reporter said."
White House reporters are excited that after four years of boring interviews with subject-matter experts they now get the adrenaline rush that comes from the personal attention of a president who threatens to have them executed. www.cjr.org/political_pr...

THENEW REPUBLIC By describing a fetus as a person from conception, Trump has legitimized fetal personhood. Pro-abortion activists have long warned that fetal personhood, an ideology that calls for providing equal human rights to a fetus (even if it's a cluster of cells), will effectively strip pregnant people of their own rights. The legal language employed by fetal personhood also effectively categorizes any person receiving an abortion at any stage as a murderer.
But the concept of fetal personhood is not only weaponized to limit abortion access— it's also been leveraged at the state level to restrict in vitro fertilization access for intended parents in places such as Alabama, and even used to limit access to forms of birth control. In May, the Texas GOP attempted to transform fetal personhood into law, claiming that "abortion is not healthcare, it is homicide," and called on lawmakers to extend "equal protection of the laws to all preborn children from the moment of fertilization."

Just hours after taking the oath of office, Donald Trump took down reproductiverights.gov — a website to help women find health care and understand their rights.
They’re wasting no time assaulting freedom.
