What shocks me most is how much this relatively small group of men knew each other. It is not an exaggeration to call this an elite cabal and there is no evidence they’ve disbanded.

@tim_cook I I have canceled Apple TV Apple Music. I can’t support a company that is supporting fascism in the destruction of this country.

@DanielLurie That’s super exciting. Will you allow for grant funded positions to be hired?

Today I signed our sweeping accept and expend package, which secured more than $130 Million in funding from the federal government. This will fund a range of projects, including EV charging, the Twin Peaks Promenade, and transit improvements in the Bayview. Thank you to the Board of Supervisors for your quick approval.

Can someone please explain to me how assassinating one rich person is considered terrorism, yet murdering scores of children at school in a mass shooting isn’t?

5/ The second part of Trump's plan is to use the White House to destroy the free media. Today's lawsuit against the Des Moines Register - just because they released a poll showing a close race in Iowa - is stunning. We shouldn't pretend this is normal. nbcnews.com/politics/2024-…

It's happening right in front our eyes. It's accelerated rapidly in the last 24 hours. Not sure why everyone doesn't see this. 1/ Can I take a minute to connect the dots - on how Trump is putting into action a plan to cripple our democracy in a way we may never recover from?

🚨👀🚨 WTF?! Did Russia admit in a press release through TASS that there was a quid pro quo between Trump and Russia?? tass.com/politics/18707…

AZ called for Gallego! Let’s fucking go!

A reminder that when Trump supporters were given Harris policy proposals blindly they supported them. Also, those who had incorrect facts about the major issues - economy, inflation, crime, border - they overwhelmingly went Trump. Those with facts went Harris. Meaning, many of these Trump voters have no idea what's actually about to happen to them. Example: Trump tariffs and increased costs.

It’s the lot of a Black woman to love her country more than it loves her

In 1938, Lloyd Gaines filed a lawsuit after being denied admission to the University of Missouri Law School in 1935 because he was black. The Court ruled in his favor & required Missouri to admit him or set up a black law school. He disappeared 3 months later never to be found. —Lloyd Lionel Gaines was born to the Gaines family in northern Mississippi in 1911. One of eleven children, seven of whom survived illness and accident, he moved with his widowed mother and siblings to St. Louis after the premature death of their father. They found a better, although not easy, life for themselves in Missouri. Gaines excelled in his studies graduating as valedictorian in 1931 from Vashon High School. At Lincoln University in Jefferson City, he graduated with honors and was President of the senior class, while participating in many extra-curricular activities and working to pay for his schooling. Despite his outstanding scholastic record, the University of Missouri School of Law denied Gaines admittance in 1936 solely on the grounds that Missouri's Constitution called for "separate education of the races." By state law, Missouri would have been required to pay for Gaines to attend the Universities in Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska, but Gaines was determined to fight for the right to attend law school in his own state university. He sought legal assistance from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), which had been working systematically to overturn the ignominious precedent of "separate but equal" established in Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896. Together, they challenged the University of Missouri's admissions policies. In 1938, Gaines won his case before the United States Supreme Court in State of Missouri ex rel Gaines v. Canada, paving the way for a series of cases that would lead to Brown v. Board of Education's outlawing segregation in public education. In March 1939, only three months after his Supreme Court victory, Lloyd Gaines was last seen in Chicago. He disappeared at age 28 with his promise of attending law school in Missouri unfilfilled. Lloyd Gaines was never to be seen or heard from again. 🖊️As the only admin behind this page, I try to research to educate.

Elon Musk is a very devious person. Here, he claims, the reality of this election was plain to see on X. He's trying to make you believe nothing outside X is real. And General Flynn says they gained "information dominance," which is a military term.

"The people who watched Trump’s television ads... had not been harmed by a transgender person, or by an immigrant, or by a woman of color. The magic lies in the daring it takes to declare a weaker group to be part of an overwhelming conspiracy." newyorker.com/magazine/dispa…

7/ And as I have said many times since 2016, if you study the history of the Black freedom struggle you know that though the oppressors do much damage, there is a will to survive among the oppressed that knows no end. Bet on Black, and all who follow their example.

So the BBC tracked the claims. Why can't US media outlets make the effort? Or detail an accurate number of bomb threats at polling stations, and look for patterns, even if they were hoaxes? Wouldn't all of this be necessary and basic information the public has the right to know?

We must not delude ourselves in this moment. Multiracial democracy in the United States is less than 60 years old. It has always been contested, often violently so. It has always been fragile. Since this nation's inception large swaths of white Americans -- including white women -- have claimed a belief in democracy while actually enforcing a white ethnocracy. In the face of shifting demographics where white Americans will lose their numeric majority, we see a growing embrace of autocracy to keep the "legitimate" rulers of this country in power. History teaches us that we are in a perilous moment.

Here’s @mcuban saying the threat of Trump’s tariffs is already impacting how businesses operate, steering money away from bonuses and raises and storing inventory and raising prices as if the tariffs already hit.

This video is exactly why foreign media are banned from entering Gaza. Two minutes of utter devastation.
