At this moment of history, the Democratic National Committee and National Finance Committee have ignored the Southern States and gave no resources to the campaigns of Angie Nixon (FL), Jamie Davis(LA), and Scott Colom (MISS). Ms. Nixon and Mr. Davis lost by a couple of % points. Mr. Colom awaits a miracle victory on a razors edge. The Supreme Court destroyed the Voters Right Act of the Civil Rights movement and Black folks answered the clarion call to fight back because there is BLOOD ON THAT BALLOT BOX. To many died to turn back now. From this night forward there is a New Southern Stratergy led by advocates like Gary Chambers in Louisiana and Stacey Adams in Georgia. This is political malpractice by Chuck Schumer and the National Democratic Party. So while evil people plot, good people plan! The fight continues in the morning. Mississippi will be battlefront. Who in da Morning?@GaryChambersJr @rolandsmartin @staceyabrams

The election is two days out. Let's stay focused on what matters: Winning. Bypass all the distractions. We can sort it out later. We need to win by margins big enough that they can't be challenged. Let's turn out the vote.

🚨Holy shit, brilliant animators just made a devastating ad against Republican corruption:
“A massive flood of money… impacts every part of our democracy.”
Trump’s corruption is putting our democracy, our rights, and our future up for sale. VOTE.

It’s absolutely insane that corrupt billionaire immigrant Elon Musk is able to buy an election, commit crimes to taint an election, send out threats to lawmakers, act like an elected official and infiltrate the US govt instead of being tried for treason.

Adeel Mangi’s nomination was historic. Had Senators risen to the occasion, they would have confirmed the first Muslim American to a federal appellate court. Mangi's letter to the WH is a must-read: aboutblaw.com/bgA0

🚨NEW: Rep. Jamie Raskin has announced his run to be the Ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee. This position will be critical to holding Donald Trump accountable. As a former impeachment manager, Raskin is a great fit for the role.
RETWEET if you support @RepRaskin!

Dear Black Men for Trump,
Meet Stephen (White Hat), we know who he’s voting for….. 😒
Stephen and his three friends chose to racially profile a young Black teen, following him as he walked through his own neighborhood.
Believing he didn’t belong in an upscale area, they began to harass him for over 10 mins. When the teen refused to submit and answer Stephen's questions, Stephen became so frustrated that he pulled out a gun!
Fortunately, one of Stephen’s friends intervened and prevented a shooting, but this is the reality of what “Making America Great Again” looks like.
Sarasota Police stated that no crime was committed. This is precisely the outcome that Trump seems to endorse—leading to violence without consequences for those who act out.
This is the life you like for you and your kids!

We don’t talk enough about the illegal immigrants who got here in the 1600s and almost immediately started human trafficking

“Could a few activists producing a video affect an entire election by inspiring so-called Uncommitteds to rethink their hesitation to vote atop the ticket? Yes, Virginia, politically engaged individuals working together might just change history.” salon.com/2024/09/28/the-wor…
