Unless “us” suddenly moved to Wisconsin, Nevada, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia and maaaaybe North Carolina, it’s definitely not “us.”
No matter where they move us is inclusive. Us/We have to show up at the polls and vote. Everyday Americans outweigh Racist Americans. Remember they are going to vote.

This one hurts. Not gonna lie.
Doesn't really affect my actions one way or another. I'm still voting for Biden. Still encouraging everyone I know to vote for Biden too.
But this isn't a fun pill to swallow.
Yeah. Kinda makes you wonder how many fingers Dump has in the mix. Going from broke to 6 billion overnight. I'll admit I'm starting to get a little nervous. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

I get the moral of the story. I've been on that page for a while. Have to defeat him in the voting booth.
But what really hurts, is when you think about the people in Rikers. Same city Trump's case is in.
For decades. People have been sent there. Because they were charged. Not convicted. Just charged. For non-violent crimes. And they were stuck there because they couldn't make bail on thousands of dollars. Not millions like Trump. Millions that were deferred today. Just thousands of dollars.
People have been abused and sometimes killed in Rikers. Innocent people. Who were just too poor.
And we can't even have Trump held accountable for the bond amount.
It's disgusting. Just saying "we have a two-tiered justice system" doesn't seem like enough.
It's messed up man. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better”

^^^Empathy Educaton is required for it to grow outside of ourselves. There is an attack on anything that creates Oneness and Connectedness between races and classes of people. Empathy clears the way to see injustice.
All this anti-Woke BS is crap from other countries just trying to create hate.

I remember a former frequent poster advocating for her since she went on Joe Rogan's show for four hours and therefore should be respected. He might even have argued for Biden to pick her as his VP.
Even if we ignore for a second that she's a grifter and authoritarian, there's nothing remotely impressive about her. It could be argued that she's as dumb as a rock. _________________ ¡Hala Madrid!

Kalief Browder (May 25, 1993 – June 6, 2015) was an African American youth from The Bronx, New York, who was held at the Rikers Island jail complex, without trial, between 2010 and 2013 for allegedly stealing a backpack containing valuables. During his imprisonment, Browder was kept in solitary confinement for 800 days.
Two years after his release, Browder hanged himself at his parents' home. His case has been cited by activists campaigning for reform of the New York City criminal justice system and has attracted widespread attention in the years following his death. In 2017, Jay-Z produced a television documentary mini-series titled Time: The Kalief Browder Story. In January 2019, New York City settled a civil lawsuit with the Browder family for $3.3 million.[1] _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

In case you missed it last night, Rachel Maddow delivered an opening 30-minute monologue beginning with the history of U.S. fascist movements and figures over the last 100 years, why it's worse today because it has taken hold of one entire party and presidential candidate, and why it's wrong and dangerous to normalize the participants of the insurrectionist attack on our democracy by platforming them on a major news network. She called on NBC to admit their mistake in hiring McDaniel and to correct it.
NBC senior executives are meeting today.
Update. Boom.

Happy Holy Week! Let’s Make America Pray Again. As we lead into Good Friday and Easter, I encourage you to get a copy of the God Bless The USA Bible.
I bet he’ll make millions off it too. Man sometimes I wish I was completely without morals and willing to scam people. Conservatives have to be the easiest marks on earth. I’d be rolling in money.
Trump has been attacking this judge (as well as his daughter, the DA, etc.) nonstop for the last 24 hours:

Just doing my job and checking to see if this could have been intentional?
What if a government hacked that ship and shut it down so it crashed into that bridge?
From what I read early they were saying that port area is extremely important for the whole region. 17th largest port in America
Baltimore bridge collapse wasn't first major accident for giant container ship Dali
The ship in Tuesday's crash, Dali, was involved in at least one prior accident when it collided with a shipping pier in Belgium.
That 2016 incident occurred as the Dali was leaving port in Antwerp and struck a loading pier made of stone, causing damage to the ship’s stern, according to VesselFinder.com, a site that tracks ships across the world. An investigation determined a mistake made by the ship’s master and pilot was to blame.
No one was injured in that crash, although the ship required repair and a full inspection before being returned to service. The pier – or berth – was also seriously damaged and had to be closed
