I’m an African American woman. I’m 61 years old. I was born without Civil Rights in 1963. Legislation was passed in 1964 granting me them. These rights were REVOKED in 2025. They didn’t even last a lifetime.

Where’s George Clooney’s big ass mouth now? How about all the other motherfuckers who put us here? Oh yeah, they’re still rich, white men so they’re good.
I find it astonishing that white Americans are willing to believe that people in government are making oopsies or unaware of what they’re doing. If YOU get it, why the fuck would you think they don’t? I’m deadly serious.
"The White House said today that the court orders that are blocking his illegal federal funding freeze are a ‘weaponization' of the justice system that’s provoking a “constitutional crisis.” That's the pretext for saying later that the only way to right such a wrong and resolve such a crisis is to ignore the courts altogether.
