- 40 years ago today, Philadelphia police bombed a neighborhood killing 11 Black people, including 5 Black children. The only person who went to prison was Ramona Africa, a Black woman who survived the bombing. Chances are this is the first you've heard about it. www.qasimrashid.com/p/today-mark...
- Two actions by the Trump regime on literally the same day. Can’t qwhite put my finger on the hypocritical difference🤔
- This would be a clear way to show the Democratic Party base that you really do not care what we think, and that new ideas will not be tolerated.
- The CBO now projects the MAGA budget bill will kick 8.6 million people off their health insurance. Meanwhile, Trump proposes a $119 billion defense budget INCREASE, making the new $1.01T war budget the largest in world history. Got money for war but can't feed/help the poor.
- White supremacy is when Donald Trump bans 1600+ vetted Afghan refugees who helped the USA against the Taliban, but proudly accepts white Afrikaaner South Africans as refugees to the USA for no apparent reason except they're white. Reminder that Trump is pro-apartheid & racist.
- Pope Leo has wasted no time calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. This is both following in the footsteps of his predecessor & the right thing to do. People with compassion and a commitment to justice unwaveringly demand ceasefire immediately. I'm grateful Pope Leo is leading with compassion & justice.
- The fascism is bad enough but do these Trump cultists really need to be this incredibly….stupid, too? Sigh, don’t answer that. I already know.
- Totally normal non-autocrat non-corrupt behavior: Trump is preparing to accept a super luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet (~$500M) from Qatar's royal family—a gift for use by Trump as the new Air Force One & then to his library. It's almost like the emoluments clause doesn't even exist. smh
- The bigger question is what is Qatar getting in return? No person in modern history is more transactional than Trump. They're not gifting him a half BILLION dollar plane for the fun of it. They're doing it for something significantly greater in return. What is Trump giving up for this bribe?
- CDC reports 216 child deaths this flu season—most in 15 years Measles surpasses 1000 cases—first time in 30 years USA has the lowest life expectancy & highest infant & maternal mortality of any developed nation on Earth This is what RFK + the for profit health scam industry has wrought us. Smh
