"The Rev. Al Sharpton is urging the city's Landmarks Preservation Commission to reject a proposal to demolish a parking garage in NoHo as part of a new commercial development because it could destroy a narrow passageway that's believed to be part of the Underground Railroad."

MSNBC host Al Sharpton said Monday on "The Reid Out" that President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance inviting Marine veteran Daniel Penny to their box at the Army-Navy football game was insulting and showed the administration views black people "as animals." | Clips
Those teenagers’ convictions were later set aside, & their confessions were found to have been coerced. One of those young men, #YusefSalaam, is now a #NYC council member. #Trump still insists he was right.
#Sharpton drew a sharp contrast between #Harris & Trump on the issue of #race, saying Harris has long fought for #RacialJustice while Trump cares about “sowing division.” This is one of the most direct discussions of #racism in America that I’ve heard at the #DNC.
Young #Ramaswamy asking #Sharpton why he should vote for a political naif: 🤌🏽
Young Mayo Pete questioning Sharpton on the same show: 🤌🏽🤌🏽
I understand the Dem party isn't perfect. But if #Sharpton is right, we're toast. #Black voters have saved America time and time again by voting against the Republican party. Most recently in Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. Without high Black voter turnout, the GOP would control both houses of Congress, and Joe Biden might have really lost the 2020 election.
I phrase this deliberately "voting against the Republican party." Because at this point you could run a *mannequin* for public office, and it would be better than any lying, theiving, gaslighting, #fascist GOP candidate.
The whole idea of #BlackRepublicans, especially Black Trump supporters, chills me to the bone. Because a vote for any Republican hurts people of color the most. It's absolute suicide.
I'm not in charge of Democratic messaging. But if I were, I wouldn't know how to say any of this better: The only chance for this nation, no matter what color your skin may be, is to vote #Democrat in every election for the rest of your life. Democrats are the only party that supports equality, labor, women's rights, civil rights, climate justice, or really any other policy of value.
If Republicans get into power, they *will* end elections. They will roll back civil rights. They will reimpose #jimcrow laws along with #abortion restrictions. They will impose a #Christian #theocracy They are particularly interested in suppressing the Black vote. How can this not be blindingly obvious, at this stage?
