#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1930: A white mob of thousands abducts, brutally beats and lynch two young African American men, Thomas Shipp and Abram Smith. This horrific event of racial terror became the catalyst for a multigenerational saga of activism, healing and artistic controversy. /1

Infamous photo of the lynching of Shipp and Smith taken by local studio photographer Lawrence Beitler. It shows the battered bodies hanging from the tree, surrounded by a crowd of white onlookers who were smiling and pointing. (I cropped out the bodies to avoid a Graphic Image label. It’s easy to find online if you want to see it.) Beitler sold thousands of copies of the print. Photos and postcards of lynchings were produced, traded and collected as souvenirs by white crowds well into the 20th century. These gruesome images served as celebratory mementos of white supremacy and were mailed openly through the U.S. postal system until restrictions tightened.

Trump is basically running the government just like his Atlantic City casinos, except instead of using his dad’s line of credit while pissing away millions he’s using ours to spend hundreds of billions on vanity projects, the military industrial complex, and personal grift.

Eerily similar to the verbiage on the Access Hollywood tape, except instead of bragging about assaulting women he’s talking about pilfering historical artifacts, most of which we will likely never see again.

Clay Fuller can call himself a “warrior” all he wants. But where is the fight when Georgia ranks 49th in healthcare access and rural families drive hours for care? My plan defends Medicare and Medicaid, recruits rural doctors and expands access to care. Leadership Matters!!

For the first time this year, James Talarico is favored over Ken Paxton in VoteHub’s Texas U.S. Senate forecast.

CNN’s Harry Enten: “Non-college voters, the base of the MAGA movement, are abandoning the GOP. MAGA's net favorability is -22 points (down 28 pts) with them. Trump's now at -19 point net approval with them. Dems actually lead in the race for Congress with them. This is what blue waves are built on.”

How the hell is Ken Paxton able to afford a $1.6 million luxury home in Oklahoma on a government salary of $153K—with a private chef, masseuse, and housekeeping no less. And it’s just one of 8 luxury properties he owns outside of Texas. Bribes? Kickbacks? What do you think? 🤨

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW | DELANEY HALL I sat down with Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman, Rob Menendez and LaMonica McIver about the ICE detention facility in Newark. Watson Coleman puts responsibility for the inhumanity at Delaney Hall exactly where it belongs: from Trump on down.

📌 Since his opponent, Ashley Hinson, went to DC, Iowa has faced severe healthcare decline and the reduction of over 300 healthcare facilities and clinics. This is why I’m excited about Josh Turek. He has an agenda built around regular folks, not billionaires. Unlike his opponent.

The Democratic brand might be struggling, but folks know a good candidate when they see one. Josh Turek is that candidate. "This election is about costs, corruption, kitchen-table issues. It’s about the issues that apply to all Iowans: livable wage, affordable housing, affordable healthcare." 🧵

RIGHT-WING 3RD PARTY Unless their mission is simply to fuck over Republicans, this is a fool’s errand. Tucker Carlson, Thomas Massie, Marjorie Taylor Greene and others met up at Carlson’s compound over the weekend to lay the groundwork for a possible third-party presidential campaign.

THURSDAY: A federal judge is opening a public phone line. You can listen….live…as Katie Phang’s suit against Todd Blanche over the Epstein files goes before Judge Sullivan. No spin. No panel. No press release. Just YOU, a phone, and a judge who isn’t taking DOJ’s word for it. Dial in.

I was 17 in 1990 visiting San Diego for the summer. Went to a drag bar called #1 on 5th in Hillcrest with my drag boyfriend. Went to Topsy’s for food after. A woman with a bad wig walked in, and Chad Michaels (Cher) yelled “WIG!!!” That’s what I hear in my head when I see recent Trump pictures.
