Fellow ‘ethnic’ people (POC, immigrants, minoritized folk) - how do you cope with the ‘I didn’t mean you’ phenomenon? When people in your life - friends/family have opinions or are actively campaigning in a way that dehumanises/strips rights from people like you… but they say they don’t mean YOU?
Breaking news: The Justice Department will begin sharing records related to deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on Friday, the House Oversight Committee chairman said in a statement.

Any Dems who don’t have this attitude should exit politics now:
The Governor of Texas is the worst kind of Christian Nationalist Autocrat. Threats to remove elected officials who fled the state is dire. If this is allowed to continue and millions are disenfranchised they won't stop in Texas. This will be in every red state. Fuck.
It may seem like a long shot but unless and until his own party shun, rebuke and hold him accountable our nation won't heal.

Not to be lost in the news of the 90 day freeze…is the fact that Mike Johnson and House Republicans voted to take away their own power (which Congress has) in the future to stop Trump from putting in place crazy tariffs in the future. This is the 2nd time this year they have done this.
