Except the actual people suffering begged us all to vote Harris. You can’t pretend to care about suffering when you refuse to take the action the suffering are begging you to take bc you center yourself & speak over the people actually suffering which caused even MORE suffering both abroad & here.

This is a travesty on so many levels. There will need to be congressional hearings and serious accountability for Elon and DOGE. Republicans may not conduct real oversight, but a Democratic majority certainly will. This doesn’t end here.

For the first time in 111 years, a President is planning to fire a sitting Fed governor—and of course, it’s the first Black woman, Lisa Cook. Trump’s message is clear: when Black women rise, he’ll do anything to push us down. Newsflash: we’re not going anywhere.
