    Calling a Black POTUS married 25 yrs to 1 wife with 2 children, no mistresses, affairs or scandals, ‘the antichrist’ but a racist white POTUS married thrice, 5 kids by 3 women, mistresses, affairs & scandals, ‘God‘s anointed,’ proves your religion is white supremacy.

    Can you believe the world isn’t screaming about the fact that Trump talked to Putin about Mueller but refused to talk to Mueller about Putin? Which country is 45 loyal to? What oath did 45 take?

    So this happened...my piece on Martin Luther King Jr. and Memphis' sanitation strikers was part of a package that won first place for features in the large newspaper's division of the Tennessee AP awards contest. Yay!

    Tennessee's GOP is seeking revenge on orgs like that increased black turnout in midterms. Instead of being embarrassed their state competes for dead last in voter participation, they're trying to keep it that way

    This bill is straight out of the Jim Crow playbook. It’s a racist attempt to suppress Black and Brown votes. Immoral policies like this are why we have fewer voting rights than 50 years ago.

    Kamala Harris raised $12M without the media. A Black woman raised $12M. A Biracial woman raised $12M. A woman with immigrant parents raised $12M. Shirley Chisholm said it best, "If you can't support me or you can't endorse me, get out of my way" Why shes not on a magazine cover?

    This is journalist, comforting a small boy on the border. He was shot in the throat by Ortega’s thugs in Nicaragua. This little boy is seeking asylum in the United States. His name is William. Trump calls him “animal”.

    In addition to being a criminal, our President is a cruel jerk.

    Trump mocks asylum seekers, mimicking them saying, "I am very afraid for my life, I’m afraid for my life." Then he says, "it’s a big fat con job."

    . makes the salient point. It's not that Donald Trump has some policy alternative he thinks is better than the ACA. He just hates and weirdly obsesses over Barack Obama and wants to eliminate his legacy just out of pure hostility. And his party is tethered to him.
