@BarackObama @MichelleObama His story.

I wouldn’t be where I am today without the love and support that @MichelleObama has poured into me over the years. Her story — from her South Side roots to the White House and beyond — is a central part of the Obama Presidential Center.

@SenSanders You spent your whole life beating the same drum and accomplished nothing of benefit but fattens your bank account. How much of your money are you handing out? Any bets your cpa looks for tax liability loopholes. POS commie pig.

Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500. If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.

@RepJeffries Still crying. 😂😂😂

MAGA extremists can hang all the tarps they want, but the American people know better. The presidential graffiti on the Kennedy Center has been removed. And Republicans can never cover up their failed record on the economy, rising healthcare costs and a reckless war.

@PramilaJayapal Democrats have been in charge for 12 of the last 17 years. So are you saying only when Republicans are in charge people can become wealthy? Interesting take of democratic party.

The economy is working great — but only for the people at the very top. For everyone else, it's not working. Here's what I know: this didn't happen by accident. It happened because our system has been rigged by corporations and billionaires who spent decades buying politicians who would look the other way. We need leaders who aren't afraid to name that. And fight it. That's why I'm in this.

@SenAdamSchiff Bet your bank account is far greater then most of the population. Just think men who actually work everyday and you a person who have never worked a day in their life. Who has more money? Maybe you should distribute your millions.

There is something terribly wrong about an economy that produces its first trillionaire, but cannot provide health care for its people. Or one in which the richest handful of families have the combined wealth of almost forty percent of the rest of the country. This is the cost of a corrupt system, where wealth perpetuates itself, and poverty, at the same time.

@RepPressley So a balded headed black woman in a politician in DC. How dare this racist oppression ruled country allow such madness.

As we approach America’s 250th anniversary, the next 250 years cannot look like the last. The next 250 years must be about repair. That’s why we’re calling on Congress to meet this moment with the urgency it demands & advance our Reparative Justice Agenda without delay.

@Bmbempower @M5squared @legallyminded Even with a few biased black jurors, he still would not have been found not guilty. Hung jury maybe. If only hold outs were black. Pretty obvious their bias. K.A had entitled ego. You don't go sit at random dinner table,refuse the leave,threaten them to remove you.

Hey my brother and sister lawyers @M5squared and @legallyminded. Does this hold water? Karmelo Anthony has two very strong grounds for appeal (and many others, too). #KarmeloAnthony #ThisIsAmerica #Racism

@Itx_judith Outstanding. Democrats will never win without cheating every again. Thanks

Rep. Summer Lee: "Black Americans will stop voting if they start thinking they will never be paid reparations for slavery."

@SenWarren As a buisness owner it is prerogative. Only a commie would say that.

Mark Zuckerberg’s $300 MILLION yacht arrived in Seattle the same day Meta cut 1,400 jobs—part of a larger round of 14,000 job cuts. Nothing says our economy is broken like billionaires sailing around on yachts while workers are left out to dry.

@shellshockkk If America segregated a section just for black people only. A large portion of the black population wouldn't wanna live there? K.O rented a house in a predominantly white gated community. Pro ballers don't build houses in the hood. Why ?

Message for the white boys

@Jessie_Blair79 😂😂😂 even if a few biased black people were on the jury, he still would not have been found not guilty, hung jury maybe. Someone comes sit at your tent in a family picnic, refuses to leave after 15 comments,has hand if backpack and "touch me and see what happens"no self defense

Karmelo Anthony entered a Klan tent by accident at a school track meet. He fought like a warrior and refused to bend the knee to white supremacy. A 100% pure white jury found him guilty of murder. #FreeKarmelo

@GovPressOffice Vacation babies should not be citizens. He is correct.

Birthright citizenship was created after slavery to guarantee citizenship to all people born in America. Trump is now calling it a "shackle." Why does he hate Black people?

@JaeSambo @fragilesociety6 I work with Mexicans who came here with nothing but a knapsack, couldn't even read or write English. 10,15 years later own homes, own businesses in this racist country. Low Mexican on Mexican crime. Black people been free 160 years,still live off the white government. Facts.

@fragilesociety6 You didn't fight against the British. What makes you think you deserve to be in America?

They can't even take accountability for slavery and give reparations but want to lecture everyone else about being accountable.

@JaeSambo @fragilesociety6 Real question is would this guy and the vast majority of black people in America even exist without slavery?

@JaeSambo Will agree the worst travesties in American history was white people not picking their own cotton.

@Aliceshaw25 Teach them to not think they are entitled and they will be fine. K.A thought he was entitled.

As a mother of two Black sons, what’s happening to Karmelo Anthony is one of my greatest fears. My heart breaks for him, his mother, and his family. He deserves justice. Black mothers live with this fear every single day that our sons skin, height, or presence could change their lives forever. This burden is too heavy. Mothers, what do you feel reading this? Everyone, be honest. what’s your take?

@RealTimBlack Fact: his family rented a house in a predominantly gated white neighborhood. All whites are racist remember?

Let me be clear about what's happening in the Karmelo Anthony case RIGHT NOW. Because the verdict traveled. The fallout isn't. FACT: Karmelo Anthony filed his own appeal BY HAND the day after sentencing. FACT: In his filing, he described himself as "penniless, destitute, and indigent" and asked the court to appoint him an attorney. FACT: $635,000 was raised for his defense. The donation account has since been closed. FACT: Karmelo Anthony is currently being held in solitary confinement at Collin County Jail while the system figures out where to place him. FACT: He has never been in trouble before. No record. No gang affiliation. He was taking college courses while awaiting trial. FACT: The Batson Challenge I covered all week is now confirmed as a likely ground for appeal. Legal experts agree the denial of that challenge is the most compelling appellate argument in the case. (Shout out to my detractors). FACT: The prosecution's own closing argument admitted they could not prove whether Karmelo stabbed Austin Metcalfe or whether Metcalfe fell onto the knife. Yet the jury returned a murder conviction. FACT: Under Texas law, murder requires knowingly and intentionally taking a life. If the prosecution admitted they couldn't prove the stabbing was intentional — how was murder proven beyond a reasonable doubt? FACT: The defense mounted a four-hour case against a prosecution that went on for days. Not one moment in that courtroom is being cited as a standout defense. FACT: Jasmine Crockett, Kamala Harris, Michelle Obama, the Congressional Black Caucus, AOC — none of them said a word DURING the trial. Now some are speaking. After the sentence. After it's over. FACT: Every nationality in the comment sections of videos attacking Black America came forward to declare solidarity with the other side. Latinos. Asians. Arabs. Filipinos. Italians. Peruvians. Pan Africans. FACT: There is no people of color coalition. The Karmelo Anthony verdict just proved it again. This fight is not over. The appeal is filed. The Batson Challenge lives. Karmelo Anthony. Say his name. Stay Dangerous. -Tim Black Content Creators & Journalists: booking.timblacktv.com or DM

@RealTimBlack Fact: the only character witness was his mom, no pastors, no school mates, team mates , relatives, friends, neighbors,co workers,coaches nobody. Was he that big of a p.o.s? Nobody was willing to vouch for his character was his mom?

@RealTimBlack Fake he provoked the situation, refusing to leave a tent after asked to, on a campus he wasn't supposed to be in. Refused to leave, sat with hand in bookbag " touch me and see what happens,I dare you.". Said multiple times. Didn't poke the knife, is was upside down in his hand.

@GavinNewsom Nope getting the criminals out Democrats desperately need. 70 billion is actually a savings compared to social programs they will cost taxpayers. Need to double that budget honestly.

Trump just signed a bill giving his private police $70 billion to terrorize immigrants.  Let's be clear -- this isn't about protecting borders. This is about targeting people because of the color of their skin and accent. Think about the horror ICE caused last summer. Now imagine what they are going to do with this kind of funding. It's un-American.
