I could watch @NC5PhilWilliams count seats all day long. It’s wild how easy they make it to show how little integrity they have.
🔥 MUST-WATCH: “We counted seats… no one was concerned about building codes when it was their people.”
@NC5PhilWilliams hilariously exposed #KremlinCameron @CSexton25 & the fragile @tnhousegop’s lie about capacity used to keep the people out.

On July 29, 1910 hundreds of white people massacred Black residents of Slocum, Texas.
It is believed that the massacre began after a Black worker was appointed to a position of authority on a road project.
Slocum, similar to Tulsa was a thriving Black community.
In two days, it is estimated that 200+ Black people were massacred. Only six were officially confirmed and 22 were reported by major newspapers because Black lives didn't matter.
Black people had to leave their land, homes, farms, and businesses behind. Wealth is lost to generations.
The African-American population in Slocum declined.
Again, just like the Tulsa Massacre, the Slocum Massacre was not even acknowledged in Texas until 100 years later, in 2011. (EJI)

In 1910, 14% of farmers were Black, owning more than 16 million acres of land — today only 1 in 100 farmers are Black! The documentary “Gaining Ground” is uncovering the long-term effects this had on Black families and their pursuit of generational wealth. fal.cn/3AiyT

For the historical record: during the brutal summer of 2023, a coal baron Senator bragged about permitting a 300-mile fracked gas pipeline with the emissions equivalent of 37 coal fired plants and 27 million cars.

Republicans don’t like my style 🩳👟🙄
I don’t like them playing games with the economy.
It’s tough going up against these out-of-touch politicians. Can you chip in to help us reach our $30,000 fundraising goal by July 31 so I can continue my fight in the Senate? 😅

This is what TN maga republicans are doing to Tennessee women, damaging them for life.

A real estate magnate got a $4M tax write-off for the guesthouse holding his art collection, saying the public would have access.
When a ProPublica reporter recently visited, it was the first time a member of the public had toured the gallery in years. propublica.org/article/how-p…

On this day in 1910, a white mob of hundreds massacred Black residents in Slocum, a majority-Black community in Texas. To overcome racial inequality, we must confront our history. calendar.eji.org/racial-inju…

Here’s an infuriating idea: If Lauren Boebert wins again in 2024, she becomes eligible for a lifetime congressional pension – paid for by you, the taxpayer.
If that doesn’t make you want to give $10 right now to Adam Frisch’s campaign to defeat Boebert, we don’t know what will.

The arrest of a Polish woman who legally used abortion pills to end a pregnancy marks the first time in recent history that a human rights defender in Europe has been prosecuted and convicted for assisting with access to abortion.

A millionaire bought a Maserati and a Bentley instead of paying taxes. The IRS was able to nab them. But if MAGA House Republicans get their way and slash enforcement funding, they’ll clear the way for other wealthy tax cheats to get off scot-free. reuters.com/world/us/us-irs-…

Enslavers and their historians argued for decades that enslaved Black people benefited from American slavery, were civilized by American enslavers, were better off than peasants in Europe and Africa. All to defend slavery from abolitionists.
Here are two examples. A thread 1/
Enslavers defended slavery by claiming it was a “positive good” for Black people. Today Florida’s Board of Education approved new Black history standards that note enslaved Black people developed skills that “could be applied for their personal benefit.”

Take that in. Then try wrapping your head around the fact that we’re only seeing the beginning of a destabilising planet, while remembering that GHG emissions are still rising and the companies largely causing this are making record profits.
A bit concerning, don’t you think?

Children at a Wisconsin elementary school wanted to perform "Rainbowland," the hit song about inclusivity by Miley Cyrus and Dolly Parton, at a school concert. When they were censored by the school board, teacher @melissatempel spoke out and was fired. democracynow.org/2023/7/20/w…
