Haitian rum and Cuban cigarillos…thinking of my brothers and sisters in the African diaspora and how the hell that the U.S. is putting them through didn’t have to happen…

Shades of the 1970s gas crisis are reemerging… went to fill up at two stations today and they were out of the cheapest grades. Guy told me that was due to uncertainty over the Strait of Hormuz. Sadly, this is inflicted by a fool who couldn’t run a casino and shouldn’t be running a country.

No wonder the orange toddler is unhinged once again. The Obamas are competent, classy, loving, Harvard and Princeton graduates, loved by many, not on the Epstein files, got the Nobel Peace Prize, and gave us a steady economy to boot. Repost this if you agree they are AMAZING and an inspiration!

Folks, please retweet this. Trump, Noem, and the rest are lying everywhere about what ICE is doing in MN. We have to do everything we can to make sure the country has a clear picture of what is going on.

SHARE if you stand with Letitia James! Because I do! SHARE if you are also FEARLESS! SHARE if you think Trump is using the DOJ to retaliate against James for upholding the law!

Here’s my write up on the most racist decision to come out of the Supreme Court in a while. The court approved of Trump’s racial profiling of Latinos with Brett Kavanaugh saying being harassed based on the color of your skin is “common sense.” My latest in @thenation

The Supreme Court Just Gave the OK to Racial Profiling
The court’s ruling allowing ICE to resume its indiscriminate round-ups of LA’s Latino residents can only be described as one thing.
