My take.

Interesting Quote from Trump.

Trump: Mental Illness & Hate Pulls Trigger, Not The Gun.

This quote is running as the header on CNN. Trump is 100% correct. He is the mouth piece, speaking from the highest office we have in the land. Fact is the man is mentally ill and spews vial hatred with his incendiary language. He preaches fear and loathing of all people of color. He fed the fear tossed in the accelerant and the match.
Then he steeped back and laughed in glee as Americans died.

You want to make America MAGA. We already were. We have never been perfect but we most certainly do not want it made over in your hate filled image.You want to stop the racism and hate? The door is over there, walk through it.

I have wept all my tears, for today at least.

Patrick Crusius wore protective ear coverings when he walked into Walmart and slaughtered moms,dads and children shopping for back to school supplies. Slaughtered 20 and wounded 26. I read one was a young mother that was shot and killed trying to shield her TWO MONTH OLD. When she fell with her child in her arms they sustained broken bones and is being treated. Condition unknown. My heart is breaking.

Why the protective ear coverings? Was he afraid to hear the cries of his slaughter or did he not want his gentle ears damaged so he could hear those in prison that for the rest of his life will be coming for him from behind..

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez owes Kansas Rep. Sharice Davids an apology for staffer's tweet

U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s chief of staff sucker punched U.S. Rep. Sharice Davids of Kansas with an indefensible tweet saying she casts votes that “enable a racist system.”

Saikat Chakrabarti’s Twitter attack rightly has prompted a storm of criticism from other Democrats. Many stated the obvious: Even hinting that Davids is racist, or enables racism, is offensive and shockingly misguided.

Ocasio-Cortez, a fellow Democrat who is from New York, should publicly apologize for her staffer’s tweet, and Chakrabarti should consider another line of work.

One down and one to go. Chakrabarti, not just a staffer, Her Chief Of Staff announced in a Friday night news dump that he is stepping down. Now it is AOC's time at bat to apologize for her chief of staff calling a woman of color a racist. The 'Squad' is vocal about racism against them. Will they stand for our second only First Native American woman voted into congress?

Will she and they stand for her? Inquiring minds want to know. If she and the Squad remain silent, it will speak volumes to women of color everywhere.

It is your turn to lead, AOC. Do it!

Filmmaker Michael Moore Wants America's Favorite Black Woman to Save America From Trump

snip/

Michelle Obama is not among the current members of the Wu-Tang Clan vying for office and isn’t expected to be as she’s been very clear that she has no plans of running for the White House.

“Well, has anyone asked her?” Moore said. “If asked to serve, I believe she would serve.”

Umm...Michael, I’m going to need you to listen to Michelle Obama when she speaks. Just because she has what it takes to run the country and because she’s beloved by most of America (this is assuming that at least half of Trump voters don’t care for her) doesn’t mean she wants to. In fact, she said this to Oprah two years ago:

I’m sure Moore’s intentions were good, but it’s important not to continuously expect black women to save America just because they can. They aren’t morally obligated to fix the shit that white men break. What the Obamas gave America was a blueprint for how to handle the office of president with dignity and class and now it’s time for America to build on that legacy.
