When someone says of Trump's fascist moves, "It is a shocking situation to be in that I don’t think anybody anticipated a year ago,” I want to scream in frustration.

THIS WAS PREDICTABLE IN EVERY WAY. HE BRAGGED ABOUT WHAT HE WOULD DO.

Unfettered and Unaccountable: How Trump Is Building a Violent, Shadowy Federal Police Force

Trump’s DHS appointees have dismantled civil rights guardrails, protected agents’ anonymity and encouraged them to wear masks, threatened groups that stood in their way, and overwhelmed legal challenges to their arrests and tactics.

Marc Benioff now says, maybe Donald Trump shouldn’t sic the military on San Francisco.

Last week, the Salesforce CEO said that he would welcome the White House sending National Guard troops into the streets of Silicon Valley. Now, he’s changing his tune following some very public criticism from Laurene Powell Jobs (Steve Jobs’ widow) and a member of his own board.

Gilead has announced that lenacapavir, the game-changing HIV prevention drug just approved by the FDA will cost $28,218 USD per person per year.

Researchers say a generic version could be made for just $25 per person a year.

Capitalism kills.

Kamala Harris is doing great but 60 Minutes' overediting & performative interruption precisely shows the problem with the hubris of the old-style interview vs. allowing a subject to talk and the audience to judge.

Our nation would not exist without the blood, sweat, and tears, and without the determination, dreams, and contributions of Black Americans.

As we host the first-ever White House Brunch in Celebration of Black Excellence, we honor this simple truth:

Black history is American history.
And Black excellence is American excellence.

This so angers me. The head of the church whose extremists have taken over our Supreme Court, endangering mothers' lives, equates these candidates. "Who is the lesser of two evils? That lady or that gentleman? I don’t know." This is not moral leadership.

If you read anything about Haiti or Haitians today, make sure it is this: https://www.thenation.com/article/society/racist-cat-attacks-against-haitian-immigrants/
White People Have Never Forgiven Haitians for Claiming Their Freedom

Behind the vicious Trump-Vance attacks on Haitian immigrants is a long history of making the people of Haiti pay for the audacity of their revolution.
