Born 99 years ago today, Shirley Chisholm knew she wasn’t going to win when she ran for president 48 years later in 1972. America wasn’t ready for her. But she was going to get it ready!

FOX made up a story of “Veterans kicked out of hotel to make room for migrants” while simultaneously supporting MAGA debt budget which cuts Veterans benefits by 22%.😳

They’re more outraged over a fake story about evil brown migrants than the real story of evil greedy billionaires.😑

Modern day white supremacy in all its ugliness.
