Posting this from months ago because we DO have homegrown experience with autocratic regimes in this country.

In nearly half this country during the first 6 decades of the 20th century Black people lived under systems of cruelty, voter suppression, hate, state violence & corruption. Ask them!

The private school voucher scheme which the North Carolina state legislature passed last week overwhelmingly benefits big, metro counties. 50% of all voucher-eligible private schools in NC are in just 10 big counties.

The "goal is to destroy the ability of Palestinians to live in that area as a group. And in my definition, that is genocide."

Renowned Israeli-American Holocaust historian and genocide expert, Professor Omer Bartov of Brown University, to me, at our live event in DC.

Elon Musk just called the COVID-19 pandemic that killed at least 1.4 million Americans a β€œscamdemic.”

My dad died during the pandemic; we weren't able to visit him in the hospital because of it. Every aspect of that horrible tragedy was real. And exacerbated by Musk’s co-POTUS.

I’m seeing red. 😑

By my count, there's four members of the incoming Trump administration accused of rape or sexual assault - Trump himself, Peter Hegseth, Matt Gaetz, and RFK Jr (all of whom, with the exception of RFK Jr. have denied the allegations against them).

Who am I missing?
