To Recap: •Nick Fuentes considers Jewish people sub human -- not on this list •Elon Musk repeated the Seig Heil & refused to apologize - not on this list •Donald Trump praised neo-Nazis and repeats anti-semitic tropes - not on this list •Ms. Rachel says we shouldn't bomb or starve children -- on this list Antisemitism is real, and the shameless hypocrisy of orgs like this make a mockery of it. Pathetic.

Newspaper headlines in 1921 completely, shamelessly whitewashed the Tulsa Race Massacre. Today, the GOP continues America's erasure and total lack of accountability for racial violence.  Viola Fletcher carried the full truth of Tulsa in her memory and in her testimony. While justice sadly did not arrive in her lifetime, we inherit her fight. Watch more on YouTube.

BREAKING: Pope Leo today announced that the Catholic Church supports Palestinian statehood. He went on to call out Netanyahu for refusing to recognize Palestinian statehood, and called for Palestinian statehood anyway. This is an important step forward. I launched this global petition calling on the USA to recognize Palestinian statehood. Please do sign & share:

Demand the United States Recognize Palestinian Statehood

Trump’s claim that he’s going to “undo” Biden’s official acts by announcement is 100% made up. It’s not a thing. Nothing in the Constitution that contemplates it. But if Trump really wants to play this game, I can’t wait for a future POTUS to undo all his pardons of criminals & PDFiles. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Wild to watch corporate democrats and liberal journalists rightly condemn Trump’s extrajudicial murders of innocent people in Caribbean as a war crime—while simultaneously pretending Biden and now Trump hasn’t been letting Netanyahu do the exact same thing by a factor of 1000 to Palestinians in Gaza & the West Bank. Their cowardly silence on Gaza enables this in the Caribbean. It’s why Dr Kinf warned, injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

WCVB News in Massachusetts reporting that ICE has arrested a woman named Bruna Ferreira, who is the mother of the niece of White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. ICE arrested Ferreira in MA and trafficked her the ICE gulag in Louisiana. Ferreira is an immigrant from Brazil. Ferreira’s “crime?” Overstaying a visa 26 years ago.😐

Viola Fletcher’s 111 years on this Earth are a living indictment of America’s refusal to confront its own violence. Mother Fletcher carried, in her memory and in her testimony, the truth of Tulsa—what was taken, destroyed, and what this nation still refuses to reconcile. In today’s Let’s Address This, I reflect on her legacy and the stark connection between the disinformation and violence that was used to spread hate back then, to how it’s still employed today.

Viola Fletcher, Among Last Known Survivors of Tulsa Race Massacre, Dies at 111

Mother Fletcher's legacy will live on as the epitome of honor, courage, strength, and resilience in the face of violent terrorism, white supremacy,...

To recap: •Universal healthcare would save 68,000 lives & $450B annually •Every $1 spent on SNAP results in $1.80 boost to local economies & small businesses •The child tax credit decreased child poverty to a historic low of 5.2%, abolishing it increased it by 45% •Every $1 per hour increase in minimum wage corresponds to a 1% decrease in suicide rates Blocking these common sense policies to protect 800 billionaires isn’t just fiscally dumb—it’s literally killing us by the hundreds of thousands

BREAKING: •Judge dismisses the criminal case against James Comey without prejudice. •Judge Rules Lindsey Halligan was invalidly appointed. •Judge dismisses criminal case against Leticia James. •White House walls reportedly covered it ketchup. (not confirmed but still)
