Donald Trump has told us all that they are near a deal with Iran now every day for the last 80 days. Why aren’t his lies the main story right now? Why is the media just repeating what a known liar says? This is dystopian type shit. It’s time to wake the fuck up.

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

In America, we should NOT have to protect democracy from the President. He has zero loyalty to our constitution OR to We the People. This man has abused power for far too long. Please DM + give a follow to @defendersofourrepublic.org to see how you can volunteer to help take our country back.

The Civil War ended 161 years ago. The South lost, slavery was abolished and Black voices soon had the right to be heard as citizens and voters. This Supreme Court and numerous southern states may still try to change that--as if their Lost Cause remains righteous--but we can stop their immoral wish.

There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power (video: defiancedispatch/IG)

Virginia Republicans: this is your Congresswoman. When given the chance to reject racist language aimed at Hakeem Jeffries, Jen Kiggans chose ‘Ditto.’ The backlash is growing for a reason. #JimCrowJen is trending because the quiet part just got said out loud. Virginia — do better in ’26.

Roberts has used his position to do anything but follow the Constitution. He has perverted the law to for money and his own political biases and beliefs. No matter what he says to defend himself, his court will go down as the most corrupt in history. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news

Disinformation has disastrous consequences. Justice Alito’s reliance on faulty data led Callais ruling, dismantling of the Voting Rights Act and making it harder for millions of Americans - particularly Black Americans - to make their voices count. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

SCOTUS used faulty racial voter turnout data to shred Voting Rights Act in recent ruling

The ruling that upended the Voting Rights Act was based in part on a false data analysis about Black and white voter turnout.
