Just a coinkydink, right? 🧐 The most recent labor statistics show that nationwide, Black women lost 319K jobs in the public & private sectors between Feb & July. - White women saw a job increase of 142K; - Hispanic women a 176K increase; - White men saw the largest increase, 365K. 🧾 is.gd/x7RUAc
There are no words to describe what it's like to be at the #PeoplesConferenceforPalestine the same weekend as the 20th anniversary of Katrina when my heart broke into a million pieces as I watched Black folks in a community I am connected to deliberately left to die & then criminalized for surviving
“I’ve got a phrase I want to say so bad. But I won’t throw you under the bus. It was extremely good. It kind of addresses the immigration issue up in my area of the woods, I’m afraid. 'Shoot, shovel and shut up.'” —TX state Sen. Charles Perry (👂🏽Listening, Latinos for Trump?) 🧾 is.gd/1fqiWg

📣 WATCH! #60MinutesAustralia interviewed (in 2023!) convicted child rapist & sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell in FL (long before Trump moved her to a cushy TX facility). Virginia Giuffre, interviewed in 2019, speaks here. Monster Maxwell's been lying like a rug for YEARS. 📺 is.gd/DT7QaL MORE ⬇️

Scott Turner of HUD on the latest move in the Trump / Stephen Miller ethnic cleansing program — he says that undocumented in Sec 8 "need to pack their bags." If they have American citizen minor children, 🤷🏽. It's why birthright citizenship is on the regime's menu. Cruelty is the point.
Tax dollars by the hour spent supporting bigotry of snowflakes that get the vapors at the sight of rainbow-painted pavement. Same snowflakes have no problem wasting even more money in Sunshine State on (the ordered dismantled) Alligator Alcatraz. Why should tourists spend any money in Florida?
@jaubrey.bsky.social's YouTube deep dives are always well-done (his doco on Matt Gaetz is a classic!), so it's good to see an updated take on the #EpsteinCoverUp. #LetSurvivorsTestify #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #UnredactTrumpInEpsteinFiles #GOPPedoProtectors #Maxwell 📺 youtu.be/8R_9SZUNmhA?...
🚨 SHARE! Honor the survivors who went public & testified against sex predators Jeffrey Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell for the evil perpetrated against them as *children* & vulnerable young women. A scared Trump knows. More come forward 9/3: is.gd/00UM6O #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #LetSurvivorsTestify
